So, obviously some people are bent out of shape over Wizards of the Coast and their handling of this game. So, I was thinking. Now that you know how it all ends would you do it again? On Sept. 3rd 2004 would you buy that first booster or starter of Rebel Storm?

I started playing the fall of 2006 when Bounty Hunters came out, so I am not someone who has been there from the beginning. I do own all the pieces though and would gladly do it all over again. I love the pieces and friends I have made over the years, now some stats, meh that is a different story, but I would definitely do it all over again as I believe all games have a life span and it was apparent a long time ago that Wizards ran out of quality ideas for this game. I also am able to take a step back and enjoy the game for what it is and not try to turn it into something it's not.

So, what's your story? Would you do it again knowing how it all turns out?

Great idea for a poll, Chris! My ballot has been cast, and if you know me very well at all, then you know which option I chose.

I think if you are still around after this long, the only answer is of course I would

You forgot to put get into the game sooner. I did not start playing until a little before Champions came out. I kept seeing the game at Media Play and wanted to pic it up but did not know were to play or who else played.

I have to agree. I wish I would have gotten in at the very begining, but didn't get into things until ROTS. Our local play group really didn't get organized till Bounty Hunters came out.

Hmm...well, to this point I'm the one "scale back my involvement" vote. And really, all that I mean is that I would collect differently. Over the past couple years, I've stopped being a completist and just focused on getting the minis I need to build competitive squads, or that appeal to me for some personal or aesthetic reason (i.e., getting all the Hans, even the lesser ones, just because I like Han). I would change nothing about how I've played the game--if anything, I wish I had started going to official tournies and so forth sooner (I didn't really start doing that until a couple years ago).

So, by scaling back, I just mean that I wish I would have started buying singles rather than cases a year or three earlier--it would have been a bit easier on the ol' pocketbook.

I would do everything again. This has been some of the best years of my life.

If I had it to do over, I would definitely have started playing/collecting a lot sooner (TFU/Legacy for me), and the collecting part would have been a lot cheaper in the long run. Or maybe not - I just love opening booster packs.

If I hadn't done it, I would not now have so many great friends in so many different parts of the country. So yeah I would do it all over again.

Glad to see so many other people say they would, too.

I considered voting scale back my involvement. But then I thougt about it and I don't think that I would.

But just because I would do it again with THIS SWM game doesn't mean I will if a new SWM game comes out. It would have to be a good game and have minis to the same scale for RPG purposes for me to consider a new game.

My only regret is that I sold off a bunch of unplayable crap minis that will probably be at the top of the list for reboots in V-sets, so I actually wish I had kept more of that stuff around. You know, like most of Clone Strike and RotS... I doubt that stuff is going to be getting any cheaper now.

I would do it all over again in a heartbeat. the friends that i made during this game are greatest. i couldn't ask for better people to hang out with. i started right when revenge of the sith was coming out and for a while i wondered why i was so crazy about seeing new minis and and opening boosters cause it wasn't till champions that i finally found people to play with. it took me a while to get into the mix and find star wars nerds like myself to play, but the people i found greeted me with open arms and accepted me no questions asked and to this day are the best friends i have. when things started going bad(work, friends moving away, relatives dying...). the friends that i made playing this game were always there for me. sometimes just simply getting my mind of things by playing some strange made up format and having fun. first gen con i went to my hand got caught on the rail of the escalator at the mall and sliced my hand open. one of my friends stayed behind and missed a tourny along with me till the paramedics got there. now true we were able to get our money back for the event ticket that we didn't use but still he missed the tourny and it said alot about his character. i wouldnt hesitate for a second to do this all over again.

I would still play, I would scale back my involvement. I think I missed out on so much because I spent so much time making maps, I never got really good at the game itself.

Still plenty of time to do that, though, man. Heck, I was only playing for about a year when I went to my first GenCon and managed a top 8 finish. Played pretty extensively during that year, and exclusively competitive games, but it's not that hard to achieve, IMO.

Not a doubt in my mind, I would do it all over again. It's cool to walk into my game room and see literally a clost full o' little plastic Star Wars pieces.

I'd definitely do it all again. the early sets were definitely the most exciting for me, especially CS and Universe. I remember when the AT-AT came out.. I really expected more vehicles but hey know what... I'm glad we got anything at all along those lines and I'd still go right into this game again any day.

Absolutly I would. This game is way too much fun. I think the same for mechwarrior.but wizkids jacked that too.

Whish i'd got into it sooner.
I only started shortly after Champions came out.
Whish there were more people around my area who played.

If I were to change one thing, it would be to have built a bigger player base in the area before Wizards dropped it. In the past year Ihave spent most of my time and energy (and money) trying to keep the group I play with going, instead of becoming a better player.
