Recently I had wanted to pick up some SW minis for when I start playing d6 SW. Unfortunately I do not have any of the limited number of minis I had back in the 80s, not do I have any of the newer plastic ones (not true, I have a few that are repurposed for fantasy- White Knobby Spider!!!). I checked out some of the FF Games versions and I found them to be too expensive. I am stingy when it comes to minis. I try to keep my minis <$0.30/mini and I like to buy in bulk. I have a very good collection for fantasy I have built up via various methods with Bones, Dreamblade, Clix, Mageknight, and big bags of fantasy/monsters.
A few days ago, I went on toysrus.com to pick up a bucket or two of True Legends Mythical Warrior at $10 for 72 pieces. While searching around for things that might be of interest to fill in the free shipping quota, I found Star Wars Command- High Quality Star Wars "Army Men" at Ultra Super Premium Prices. However, they are now on clearance (who knew charging ultra super premium prices for army men would go over like a lead ballon?). 51 figures for $10. That is my ballpark baby!
The only thing is that the figs are 54mm, which is kinda big, but if all the figs are that size, it is a-ok. Searching around on a few sites, I have picked up the following for ~$70 all with free shipping:
2x Galactic Ground Assault, 102 pieces
1x Epic Assault, 22 pieces
2x Millenium Falcon, 66 pieces
2x Final Battle, 32 pieces
Thats 222 SW high quality rpg suitable pieces for $70 shipped. A good mix of all sorts of figures and ships too. Instant SW RPG collection!
I also picked up the $10 True Legends Tub which has 54mm figs suitable for aliens and sorceresses, amazons and unisex elves which can all be repurposed for night sisters witches/warriors if needed. In additon, the $11 Galaxy Team Laser bag is nice kitchy 54mm retro-goodness suitable for a rubber mask New Hope type game. The TRU pirate bucket may be suitable too, 54mm skeletons and pirates which could easily become bounty hunter/scoundrels. A nice chunk of my miniature eclectic collection can also slot right in as well.
Look around at your big box shops and online, the deals are out there and it is unlikely there will be such a product produced again. You can justify it on three axes- rpg minis, figs to be painted, and indestructable kids toys for those with the little ones.
Cheers
