| Star Wars Miniatures | The Star Wars Miniatures collection offers a great board game that doesn't require too much time or space to play. The miniatures are also exactly the right size for use with the Star Wars Roleplaying Game, which I would highly recommend. The old roleplaying system was made by West End Games, which I haven't tried.

 Great product December 20, 2008
I really hope they make more. These are very useful and have good details on them.
Avid role player seeks new game play August 29, 2008
I'm satisfied with my purchase. Though, I really wished I could have seen a demo of these before buying. I took a leap of faith in the WoTC products, and it paid off. They are really pretty well done. Nice card stock with plenty of different sizes and designs on them. The cards are boxes, load lifters, a TIE fighter, pits, stairs and walkways.
Prior to purchasing these tiles I laminated the large maps that come with the miniature games. I plan on using these tiles as add ons to the larger map. They can be used independantly, but using them together just adds more playing field. I also plan on getting some card stock and printing or drawing on them to expand my tile collection. If this product was a tad cheaper I would have bought two, or more!
Useful for any number of sci-fi games May 15, 2008

A good product for any number of sci fi games. My friends and I have been using for Warhammer 40k combat patrol games and I'll pick up a few more sets to allow for a full table of corridors.
The cardstock is high quality and take a beating, it's textured so as not to slide. For the price and ease of use nothing comes close.

After having purchased at least two of every Dungeon Tile product for the D&D game, I had high hopes for this offering. I was somewhat mixed on the overall feeling. It is the usually high graphics that WOTC has put into this line of products and will perform well under the SW mini rules and new fantasy game. But unlike the first dungeon tile set, which I immediately bought more of, this one feels incomplete. Maybe its just not as impressive due to the color scheme being lighter. The dungeon set has a deeper ink pallet, darker and more textured feel in visual effect. The lighter shade of this set makes it feel less 'solid'. Of coarse, the usual six sheets, double-sided, with some important stuff on one of two sides is a small problem in all the sets, making a large layout require two or more of the same set to be playable - but, it works fine as far as it goes and not everyone has a need for large areas. But, the scale of SW and its range weapons, etc, not to mention vehicles, creats a more sweeping scale of adventure. This problem isn't confined to SW - the D&D folks finally got some wilderness tiles and horses at set #6 (Ruins...). So, graphics good but with a lighter shade that distracts and a poorer selection of starting chrome tiles, which really aren't chrome if you need multiple doors, etc. forced me to 'three' this one. Will I buy a second? Perhaps, but, the next set will need more 'special' tiles (vehicles, doors, etc.). In defense of this, until LOTR, no movie had done the sweeping views of fantasy that the SW movies did - and the problem with roleplaying/miniature battles in that 'world' is we all have a visual reference that isn't nearly met by the current line of miniatures and tiles. Its coming, but, maybe too late. I would recommend this product, as the appeal of combat on the grid with figures is good. My caution is also with the new 2.0 D&D miniatures going to a 'non-grid' 4th edition standard, it might become when they do the same with SW.
Lots of pieces, loads of mess March 30, 2008

Perhaps I was naive when I decided to acquire this product, as a supplement for Star Wars RPG Saga Edition, but I was surprised to find what I found. I should have paid more attention to the fact that the product is in fact tiles, literally tiles, of various sizes. There are no maps to speak of, something that I assumed would come with said product. Now, what really gets to me is perhaps the set-up for example:
A battle scene, you would think this would be easy, right? So I decide, as the GM, that I will set it on a space station. It just so happens I have plenty of tiles to accommodate that (by the way, that is all there is). Now I have to assemble this glories map, tile-set, only it is like a jig-saw puzzle, attempting to make sense of what I am trying to make is bantha poo-doo. At this point, the PCs are growing impatient at perhaps the fact that the setup is taking so long... after a period of time the set is ready for combat of epic proportions. As characters move their minis, as do they move the tiles, and in fact the map after a short period of time is falling apart at the seams.
So it would appear that I should stick to maps, or create my own maps, or find some other way of using these tiles. If I have appeared to rant incoherently I apologize. But oh boy, what a treat.

Does the Czerka SA that grants twin not work when Poison Blade goes into effect?
Is This a Good Idea?
In my area, not too many people play. there are some people intrested, but they don't have many pieces so they can't justify paying the 6$ entry fee to play every week. i plan on making some pre-constructed squads for them that they can purchase from me. i'd be selling off most of the stuff i don't...
Why do we need sooo many Vaders?
I love the game and I think Wizards has done a fine job with the figures. Why do they keep remaking the same characters over and over? How many Vaders do we need? or Luke, Lando and Han? What about Ben Skywalker, Jaina Sword to the Jedi, Zekk, or Jagged Fel dark jedi hunter? There are soooooo many...
hey, any pro converters, can you make this guy?
i think he's from Episode 5 as i recall seeing him in the background of the anakin/padme romance scenes on the beach in Naboo. those crazy backwoods nabooite free-wheelin' hippies!
i'm not sure what base model we'd have to use in SWM to make him though... :D ...

My son is going to be a great Jedi Knight
A few months ago, I posted the picture of my 1 1/2 year-old son hugging a lightsaber at Target. So last night I was playing my brother in a game (see thread "Time for an Intervention") and my son came walking up and wanted to sit on my lap. He doesn't really talk yet, but I could see the glimmer...
Time for an Intervention
So, for the longest time, my brother has put together the some pretty bad squads. He usually rejects my advice (but not all) by saying that he has a different "playing style". (Sounds like denial to me ;) )
Anyhow, I've never given him a hard time about it because we play for fun. However, last...
Font issues
Does anyone know the font for the new style of cards.... it looks like they are still using Agency FB for the body text but the header font is new...any thoughts?

Where could I find a list of force powers that are able to be used against the Yuuzong Vong? (OK to use against force immunity)
Could Darth Vader, SotJ use Lightsaber Throw 2?
I tried finding a list to help me out, but was unable to find anything. Please help. Thanks a lot.
Cade Skywalker? Amazingly Broken!
Well, when he first came out, and people used him with Doombot, he was a pain, but an expensive pain, and not a big threat. I'm sure in bigger games, he isn't a major factor. However, with his long removed female ancestor, Padme Amidala, Senator, he has a place to be one of the most broken pieces...

Have you ever wondered if wotc recycles unused minis?
have you ever noticed that some minis seem to be in the (almost) exact same position? for example, darth revan and obi padawan are in the same position...what do you think? do you think if they recycle them (yeah!) or maybe they just used so many poses that they had to reuse some?
