Thanks for the enlarged pics. Nice job. I can't see the rarity for some of the rebels though, like juno eclipse, luke's snowspeeder, and the other ones on that line in that pic. It's not there.


This set looks great to me. I may even get a second case. Hopefully the rancor will still be easy to cherrypick. This set seems to get almost all of its figures from battlefront 2, episode V, or the FU video game. This is an interesting combonation, and I am pleased with the sculpts and the set list so far.


Juno is R, Luke's Snowspeeder is VR.

Alright, thanks. I think there is a good chance that Juno will have the pilot ability, considering she a pilot and in the rebel faction.

I'm late on this, but the set looks good with 2 complaints. The snowspeeder looks boring sculpt-wise (I couldn't see the difference between the old one and this) and the Uggernaught looks border-line stupid. It's a fun idea, but come one Ugnaughts? Really?

It looks like the typical setup - they let the good sculptors do the cool minis, and let the novice sculptors do things like the Ugnaught Tech. Out of scale, and looks like a hand puppet. Oh well, bring on the stats!

At first glance:

Revan, awesome pose
Gar Bel-Iblis: so glad he's a rare
Chewie: Why a VR?
Luke's Snowspeeder: Come on, the sculpt sucks, repeat!!!
Han Solo of Hoth might be good
Luke Skywalker, Hoth Pilot Unleashed: could they think of a longer name? Nice sculpt
Juno Eclipse: :shock: *catcall*
Boba, Mercenary: nice sculpt, can't wait for stats
Felucian on Rancor: boo!!!
Rebel Marksman: repaint of Mandalorian Supercommando
Rebel Trooper on TaunTaun: Huge, seriously???
Vaders Secret Apprentice, Redeemed: cool sculpt, can't wait for stats
Darth Vader, Unleashed: looks like he's gonna commit suicide
Mynock: what ability could this guy have...
Uggy Tech: apparently his head has swelled from so much information

Could they not think of better names than DV, Unleashed and Luke, HP, Unleashed. What's next, Boba, Unleashed; Han, Unleashed?

This set is looking very, very good. My only qualm is that the Rebel Trooper on Tauntaun is a Rare, taking up one of the precious 4 Rare slots in a case. If I pull one, I will happily trade for any other Rare.

I especially can't wait for these 10:
1. Kazdan Paratus
2. Luke Skywalker and Yoda
3. Obi-Wan Kenobi, Unleashed
4. Uggernaught
5. Emperor's Shadow Guard (first mini with a lightsaber staff!)
6. Han Solo in Carbonite
7. Vader's Apprentice, Unleashed
8. Vader's Apprentice, Redeemed
9. Ugnaught Boss
10. Amanin Scout

Also, is Kazdan Paratus a Verpine? He/she/it really looks like a Verpine.

Thank you Bloo2th. Pity the Shadowguards and Darktroopers are U. Oh well, didn't stop me from getting my 12 Phase IIIs.


I'm just glad that neither are Rs! I was afraid the Shadowguard would end up being a R since it was based on the game. Multiples of those for me, for sure!

It seems like there's too many Rares in this set. Does anyone else think that? I mean, how many Knobby spiders am I gonna have to endure before I complete the set? Maybe it's just me.


There are actually less Rs/VRs than there were in the BH set! Count 'em!

Nope, it's just a Large size piece. But it is a Rare. :( Unless it has amazing stats, I really don't care about that one at all.

I don't think Kazdan is a Verpine. First of all, it looks to me like he has 6 limbs. Compare him to the Verpine Tech farther down. Doesn't look anything alike. I have no clue what he is at this point, but I'm guessing he's a character from the game.

Thanks for the zoomed in pics, Bloo2th! :)

I'm looking forward to this set more and more. I'd like a new Hoth map though. The current one we have is way too open. I'm not always going to want to break out the AT-AT...

I want that Rebel on a Tauntaun. It'll go nicely with my Luke and Han on Tauntauns. :)

Most of the figures look better than I expected. I do wish they picked a different outfit for Leia. It looks just like the A&E one, as everyone has already mentioned.

I've seen better Vader scult's. Vader's pose looks okay, but they probably could've used a better pose. I can't wait for the stats though.

yeah, apparently 28 R/VR. I noticed the Stormtrooper is a UC? and there are only 11 C's? Seems like there should be 12 C's, and the Stormie is the other one.

why are you excited about Han in Carbonite? I don't understand.

Did anyone else notice a new Rebel with a Lightsaber? How's that going to mesh with Luke and the rest of the OT gang, I wonder... :shock:

there's nothing wrong with being excited about han in carbonite, while it might not be a competitve fig, it looks kind of cool. And I think it'd be really interesting to see the stats.

And who knows? Maybe Han in Carbonite will have some crazy ability that makes him the next gatekeeper piece :) I'm just looking at the figures in terms of coolness at the moment, stats will come later.

Could be a mistake. Like Tion Mendon.

Been watching awhile decided to post something

While I'm glad that they are doing some non-Stormtrooper Imperial personnel, they really could have changed how the Imperial Naval Trooper looks from the Death Star Trooper (could have just given him a rifle for one or made him an elite) - but this is at least something and am hopeful for Imperial Army in the making at some point in the future

*sigh* no TIE Pilot again but WoTC has appeased me this set with that AT-AT Driver at least

Uncommon Repeater Blaster Cannons? I want to see how well this stacks up to the Rare E-WEB

I don't understand people who are *not* excited to get Han in Carbonite. Regardless of stats, it's pretty high up on my wants for this set. However, I anticipate it being a very interesting piece to play.

Yeah, would have preferred Juno in Imperial uniform, but they probably decided against that as she is a Rebel figure, and it may be just plain confusing for alot of people (Han in Stormtrooper Armour is fine though, because everyone knows who Han is and why he was running around in Stormtrooper armour).

That Rebel Marksman looks sweet. Here's hoping it's the piece that makes a Rebel super-stealth squad actually competitive.

Vader's Apprentice, Redeemed is the Frenzied Berserker from DDM :)

Admiral Ozzel: "Pull my finger"

Muun Tactics Broker looks like a bald Goth chick.

PROXY is going to be the figure you'll curse at when pulling from a booster. Especially when it comes with a Junk Golem.
