First mini ever

Way back before RotS the movie was released my brother called me up on my way to school (mind you, he's 11 years older than me). He told me how he found out about this cool new game that he wanted me to buy some stuff of. So the next day I go to my LCS and they had some packs of RotS. I opened them up for him and thought they all looked cool. Only piece I remember him getting in the initial packs was Emperor Palpatine, SL. I looked him up on eBay and told him it was going for $37 and that I was gonna buy some stuff for it myself. He's since stopped collecting the game and still has all his pieces horded away at his house. He collected up to UH and then stopped after he got a majority of that set. I, of course, kept on collecting...

I first bought minis right after CotF came out (I was excited for the KOTOR characters). I wanted HK and Bastila SOOO bad, that I decided to buy two booster packs of a product I've never even heard of until like 2 days prior. My first 4 pulls (two seperate days...I think they're in the right order) were Jaina Solo, Ulic Qel-Droma, Even Piell, and Darth Vader, CotS. I really liked them all (except Piell, who I thought was insanely lame) and kept on trying for my KOTOR characters. Needless to say, I never ONCE pulled a KOTOR character from a booster. Ebay has got me my HK, Bastila, and Malak... kind of sad really when I think about how much CotF I bought...

So, it was Jaina I think. :boba:

Darth Vader, SL, was my first unique. Damn he was so awesome back then!

Not counting the RotS starter that i got for Christmas, the first booster i got had a baby Boba in it. Also, before reading the card, i thought the nautolan soldier was Kit Fisto. :mrgreen:

I got faked out opening one of my Clone Strike boosters. I saw a red lightsaber and thought I had Aurra, but it was just a DS Acolyte.

Even Piell for me. I was a little disappointed, but it is what it is

Other than the Rebel Storm Starter, I think it was Boba Fett. Yeah, and I was the first one of my friends to get him. He rocked, but I never was able to win using him. Silly us and making up our own rules

I think the first booster I opened had Captive Leia in it.

Besides the ROTS starter my first pull was a Guri. Perhaps thats why I still try to use her every now and then :oops:

back in the day though I pulled san hill early and I would use nothing but Droid swarms :mrgreen:

First mini rare I think I pulled Scout trooper on speeder bike or Bossk. Definately Leia slave as my second one.
When I came back I pulled Mandalore from my Bounty Hunters case and realised my luck was changing ^^

My first mini was from a booster from the Universe set. I opened it up and pulled out the huge mini from it and it was a Rancor. It's still above my bed on a shelf. It's fallen on me a couple of times and normally I would throw something if it woke me up but every time I grab it and I realize it's my rancor I put it back up on too the shelf...although it's starting to make me a little angry.

My first fig was a Vornskyr. I saw it in the case of a lgs that I played my first event in. For that event I borrowed the Cof Qui-Gon, ROTS Obiwan, and ROTS Anakin and took second place because I couldnt catch a Flash Speeder to beat it down. Since I took second and was a noob I got a Rebel Storm booster and pulled the Rebel Commando on Speeder and traded it for alot of clone troopers, looking back its kinda funny that the first faction I played was Republic. I bought the ROTS Starter got Grevious and never looked back

First peice I ever got was when I bought my first star wars miniatures pack. I got a Champion's of the Force pack and pulled Darth Maul, Champion of the Sith and he remains one of my favorite minies to this day. He is an awesome looking mini and I considered myself to be the luckiest person in all of South Dakota at that point when I pulled him from the booster box......It was glorious!

I went and bought 3 more champions of the force and got Exar Kun, and was extremely happy. That was a good day!
