I'm just a Star Wars nut so price doesn't mean anything to me. I like everything (mostly) mean EU, prequel, and OT. So that doesn't change much. I guess I enjoy Universe because it has a little of everything including the Vong. CotF may be (I'm hoping) the best set to date for me. | |

Well, I guess Rebel Storm is #1. It was something really special, and in addition to being the first set of prepainted plastic Star Wars miniatures and being OT, they had great models and were of great quality! Larges being VR was a bad thing, but anyway.
#2 Universe. How can't you love Huges? In addition, there's Thrawn and several really good looking minis, Gonk & ASP and first Sullustan!
#3 Clone Strike. While I was only going to get some uncommons & commons for RPG, waiting for this set got me really fascinated. Quality is so-so but there's lots of great figures!
#4 RoTS. This just didn't feelt to bring anything really new to the game. Lots of new versions of old characters, even in Starter! Even Droideka wasn't as cool as CS version.
What made RS and CS especially cool were their starters; Having two really iconic characters for sure in addition to bunch of others was just magnificent! | |

| | 11/20/2005 4:19 PM | Alert | | Revenge and Universe, revenge has my favorite minis, but i like the Huges of Universe becuase they give the daunting feeling that some Star wars characters had in the movies (such as rancor, AT-ST) | |

| | 11/21/2005 4:06 AM | Alert | Universe has the best sculpts and paint jobs so far, so that'd be my choice. I would pick CS as second, though the quality is at time poor it was the best collation of rarities and interesting pieces: even after two cases, you could buy a booster and have a decent chance of getting something you wouldn't be p*ssed with (nice non-unique rares, good uncommons as ARC trooper...). RotS was good quality-wise, but brought almost nothing apart from a LS-wielding palps I still need to find... and three versions of Grievous (though he's cool, I don't see how a bad guy dying after the first half of the movie deserves FOUR minis, of which three in the same set - it's beyond me). Rebel Storm is average, I think - yay for the stormtroopers and OT stuff, but fringe minis are ugly and useless and the unique rares you get by the dozen trying to complete the set are utterly boring (I have FOUR Han Solos and Generel Veers and THREE Tarkins... and I'm still five or six minis short of the complete set, come on...).
I would say Universe is #1, CS #2, RS #3 and RotS #4. All of them are topped by the AT-AT however... that thing is great. I wonder whether I should buy a second one... not that I would have any use for it, but hey... or I could buy four more and try to recreate the Battle of Hoth "as seen on the big screen"?
Cheers
