STAR WARS

Miniatures

I have always loved this game, ever since it's debut in Fall 2004. I pre-ordered my Rebel Storm Starter Set , picked it up on the day it came in to the store, and have been playing it ever since. I once told my wife that when I die I want to be buried with my SWM collection. I'm going to stand by that. I have an insanely gargantuan amount of these addictively collectible 'little plastic men'. It's gotten to the point where I almost need a hand truck to move my collection from one place to another.....and I know some people who have twice the number of figures I do. Some refer to collectible miniatures games as 'plastic crack'....

Now, this isn't really like Dungeons & Dragons or any other RPG , but it takes the best parts of that game - simplified d20 combat and cool-looking miniature playing pieces - and adapts it to an easy-to-learn and fast-playing tabletop strategy game with a Star Wars theme. There's no story to it... just attack and kill your opponent. I suppose you could try to relive classic battles from the movies and stuff, but you certainly don't have to. (There's nothing funnier than Darth Vader vs Ewoks........ )  Let's just say this: it's the closest thing to playing with toys that I can still get away with at age 39. I guess my photography comes pretty close too...

Anyway, I'll have tons of Star Wars Miniatures (all rarites and almost all sets) for sale at the Central Canada Comic Con , as well as on Ebay.

I just noticed that this would be my anniversary post - it's been exactly one year since I created this blog. I'm pretty happy with it so far. I think it's gotten better, and I certainly hope that you, the reader, have had a chuckle or two, or raised an eyebrow and gone "hmm..." in a thoughtful manner...

Thanks for taking the time to read this blog. Unfortunately, I'll never be able to pay back all of the minutes of your life I've taken away from you....unless I can finally finish building my flux capacitor someday.  

May the Force be with you...
