On that last one you can see some of the figures. It looks like we're getting a cargo skiff, another IG-88, another Bossk, and somebody else I can't recognize because of the angle.

 

I can't wait for that set.

 

I got Bastila...

One more and I've the whole set.

I have to say, General Windu = roxx0rz. Shatterpoint is awesome, especially with riposte.

Any one know a good website to buy COTF minis. I'm in desparte need of them. Any help will be appreciated.

 

Use eBay, because sites that sell singles will usually charge above market prices, plus stupid shipping amounts. I nearly got Bastila off a website, but she was $20 and shipping was $13.

If you have trades, the official WOTC forum supports trading.

Oh, and I just won Luke Skywalker, Young Jedi off eBay. That's 60/60 for COTF.

Exar Kun is a total badass. I put a 200 hit point team together this week including: Exar Kun, 3 Sith Mutants, a Wampa, Reek and a couple of ewoks...holy ^#*@ it was a slaughter.

If you put this team together and your opponent has the misfortune to include Jedi's...it's over. Exar Kun's commander effect practically guarantees you a direct hit with almost all followers. The Reek alone does 60 damage a hit to Jedi's and you can move the ewoks to surrounding bounty hunters and then replace them with Exar Kun to give him his triple attack (i.e. they can't run away) Plus, you can inactivate a good 50% of your opponents squad with Exar Kun's other ability...so nasty.

Basically, he just couldn't kill anything fast enough, and in the end, I had lost only the ewoks and one Sith Mutant (Reek, Wampa and 2 Sith Mutants where untouched)

Highly recommended!

Other than that, I just need Yoda to close out this set (little guy is so darn hard to get for me)

 

I just finished my set 2 nights ago, getting the missing Luke.

I totally agree about Exar, and prefer him to Bane anyday.

Bane may be pure, unadulterated damage but Exar's CE, with Massassi or even, hell, Rancors - combined with his transfer essence - god bless 3 pt minis - and everything else makes him an awesome package.

I'm going to give an OR squad a crack tonight, just for fun. Well, OR + HK. Lousy meatbags.

Thank Mod that Mas Amedda can't join that team!

There also might be a demo at ComicCon.

Does anyone have a shiplist of the mini's being released yet?

Or barring that does anyone have any wishlists?

I'm hoping for the Outrider and the Ebon Hawk (aside from the Falcon, which is a given)

Which one was Kyle Katarn's ship? The YT-2000?

 

a yt-2000 belonged to the Azzameen family from X-Wing Alliance, I can't recall what model ship the Mouldy Crow was, nor that ugly thing from Jedi outcast. More I think about it, it resembles the fighters the clones were using in Epi-3 with 3 s-foils.

I looked on swrpgnetwork.com and the Mouldy Crow is apparently a modified CEC CRF-78R Fast Courier

The Raven's Claw is a CEC CRF-156T Fast Carrier.

 

Man, my wallet hates me already.

Oh forgot about the TIE Defender... I hope that's in there too, and the Chiss Clawcraft, and Coralskippers, and the StealthX and...

 

How are the capital ships going to work with the starfighters? It looks like they're all about the same size.

 

Yeahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

 

I have no idea what the scale will be, but i'd speculate that the starfighter mini's would be regular sized mini's and the cap ships would be huge size... i imagine the maps would have to be pretty big.

 

WOTC's Rob Watkins said they'll be in relative scale.

That means, each class will be in scale to other craft of that class; not to other classes of craft.

Example? If you took an Eta2, X-Wing, TIE Fighter and ARC-170, they'd be in scale to each other. They won't be in scale to Corellian Covettes, or Nebulon B Frigates etc.

Also, the minis will be dividedi nto light and dark factions, rather than Republic, Rebels, Seppies and Imperial; they will also cover all six films.

So, no coralskippers, clawcraft or TIE Defenders yet, methinks.

The Hasbro site says that the set will have mini's from all sources, including comics, novels, etc. I don't imagine they'd disclude video game sources, since a huge chunk of EU ships comes from video games (The X-Wing and Rogue Squadron games, for example)

 

Well, given that Rob Watkins is on the design team and posts on the Offical Site as "WOTC_Rob", I'm going to go with what he says.
Granted, that doesn't automatically exclude EU vehicles from future sets...

"Also, the minis will be dividedi nto light and dark factions, rather than Republic, Rebels, Seppies and Imperial; they will also cover all six films. "

.......? I could understand the orginal minis game as being split into light and dark, as characters have those attributes and many characters cross over between factions-but starships do have any connection to the force and there aren't any cross-over.

 

I was just saying what the Hasbro site told me... I should know by now not to trust a mega-corporations website, I know
