The Legacy of the Force SEALED event will be April 12th, cost 20 bucks, you get 2 boosters. PLUS, prize support!
It starts at 1pm, so see you there!


Besides Millennium's sealed event on April 12th. for the new set coming out this weekend, there will be a SW minis Legacy of the Force release event from noon until 2 p.m. on Sunday, March 30th, at SimCon at the University of Rochester in Douglas Dining Center where the Battle of Hoth was fought last year. Chris said that the price is the same, but you will have to pay for admission for the con as well. I think he said a day pass is $10, $15 for the weekend. You save a little if you preregister, but I can't find a link to do that online. He is also working with Boldo for prize support for the release event.

On Saturday night, Chris is running a Battle of Yavin game with the SW minis and the rules of some old game. It sounded interesting.

Eventually (once I get the parts in the mail) I will need to do some vaccum forming, or parts molding of my deathstar panels and tower. I'm going to create a "in scale" Death Star Trench Run for the Starship Minis.

It'll be cool if I can affordably duplicate the parts. The board should be about 32 inches x 44 inches or something close to that.

I received an e-mail from WOTC/DCI about special release events. Are we doing anything special with the release event on April 12th. at Millennium Games? There are 3 new scenarios listed on the site, but the problem is that each of them call for specific figures from the new set.

"On March 28th, Wizards of the Coast releases Legacy of the Force, the newest set for the Star Wars Miniatures Game. With this set, you'll get to play miniatures from the Star Wars: Legacy comic book series and the Legacy of the Force novel series. To celebrate, hundreds of retailers around the US and Canada are hosting Legacy of the Force Release Events on the weekend of April 11-13. The Release Events feature new scenario-based play that invokes the cinematic adventures of Star Wars! Check www.wizards.com/starwars for details on a Release Event near you!"

I believe I'm going to be busy that weekend with costume building. Or more specifically - keeping the kids occupied while Daddy is costume building.

But, if folks want to do something special for the release that sounds like a cool idea. I'm just not sure what "special" you had in mind. tongue

laugh LOL (sorry Nicky) - I was actually asking John or if anyone (Scott) had heard if we were going to be using any of the "special" rules or scenarios for the LOTF release event on April 12th.. The e-mail and WOTC's site were a bit confusing on that point. I guess it never occurred to me that the non-playing members would want to do anything special for the event like we had a very long time ago. doh!

The next tournament, this Saturday, April 19th. at 1 p.m. at Millennium Games, is [b}The Ultimate Booster[/b]. Construct a 100 point team with 7 figures: 1 rare or very rare, 2 uncommons and 4 commons along faction rules. Fringe is its own faction. Obviously no huges and I found some factions to be impossible to use such as Sith, Old Republic, New Republic and Mandalorian due to the costs. See you there.
