On both the card and the figure there will be a little symbol. That tells you the set. If you got Jar Jar, you bought KOTOR.

Puke, I'd much rather see more Vong.

I am soooooooo not bummed about no more Vong. Every day I wake up and say to myself, "How can I hurt the Vong today?"

I am pretty excited about more Chiss though. Hopefully Rob wasn't just referring to the Thrawn in Imperial Entanglements...

When I read that I wanted to jam my keyboard through my moniter, but there is still a chance of non-uniques.

Who from the Vong hasn't been represented yet? I think just Omini (sp?) Or am I losing it again and just imagining the Supreme Overlord figure? Probably... I do that a lot these days.

I'll go ahead and answer this one for ya, YV_R.

You are, in fact, imagining a Supreme Overlord figure. So we still 'need' one of those. Then there is Nas Choka, the Warmaster after Tsavong Lah. They could make an Omini. They don't have a Nen Yim. They don't have Slayers or Voxyn, either.

There are alot of uniques they could make that are far more important than Yomin Carr.

I can get behind you on Nen Yim, the Slayers and definetly on Voxyn, but Nas Choka is just a Lah clone stats-wise.

Though maybe the Voxyn would be overkill. I've used non-unique Vong squads against Republic Jedi -and strong Jedi on that, like Obi-Wan and Shaak-Ti and the Vong have wiped the floor against Jedi w/o Voxyn help.

Yuuzhan Vong have good uniques but a voxyn or a random unique would give the Yuuzhan Vong faction more options on things to play, like a squad of shames ones.

Yeah, more uniques would be great if you're trying to build a realistic Vong squad. I somehow doubt Nom Anor, the Warmaster and Yomin Carr, would be paired with a warrior and a shaper.

Look. The mere fact that the Yuuzhan Vong is represented as a faction should be enough to argue for it to garner at least ONE unique in over two years; but unfortunately that is not going to be the case. The last unique was Yomin Carr with the Alliance and Empire set released in May of 2007. Alright let's just look at the breakdown of the factions...obviously ignoring the big 4 (rebs, imps, seps, and republic) All these stats are pre-release of Clone Wars.

Old Republic
9 Uniques
21 total figures

New Republic
15 Uniques
22 total figures

Sith
13 Uniques
28 total figures

Mandalorians
4 Uniques
17

And finally... I present you the LEAST represented faction out and one that will not be boosted with any uniques until 2010...and that's IF it even happens then.

Yuuzhan Vong
3 Uniques
11 total figures

I believe this is evidence enough of why people should be upset over this recent news. Besides the constant personal issues people put in place over this faction... it is still a faction and needs to be a viable, playable faction in years to come if it is supposed to stay competitive.

Screw realistic, let's just make them competitive again. While I rarely play Vong, I'd much rather see more support to them than the evil M-faction. Vong super stealth is pretty worthless at the moment due to all the disrupt (especially R2-PO) and force sense for the non Vong characters in the squad. Every Vong piece is melee except for Nom Anor. So while the Jedi Hunters and Shapers are a nice combo, they are really limited in what they can do early on. I agree that WotC is going to create a new faction, they should support it with Uniques and good pieces at least once a year or every other set or so.

I am excited to see some Chiss though, that could be kinda fun even though I'm not an Empire fan either really. Another sub faction I'd like to see are some Hapans for the New Republic. NR need some non-melee fodder with more than 10 HP.

I am not a huge fan of the Vong, but they could bring any number of interesting looking monsters tot he table.
Firebreathers and Voxyn are obvious, but they have other cool monsters, such as http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Vagh_Rodiek
and http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Umrach

Or just take a look at this:

All great points mercenary and I personally would be content to just have wizards create one to add to the tiny Yuuzhan Vong faction.
