| | 01/13/2006 8:23 PM | Alert | My list - Granted I'm pretty much basing it on value in the skirmish game vrs it's respective rarity.
Rebel Storm - Leia, Captive wins hands down. She should be much cheaper.
Clone Strike - Not a bad set realy. The only reason Anakin Skywalker from this set turns out to be a bad deal, is the result of the Rots Anakin being so much more awsome.
Revenge of the Sith - Mon Mothma wins this one easily, an overpriced commander/under hitpointed commander with two very poor commander effects.
Universe - Goes to Dr. Evazan, another cr@ppy hard to get figure. Although you are much better using him than Mon Mothma, and he's cheaper too.

| | 01/14/2006 1:32 AM | Alert | | Even that i like the character, Mon Mothma result in a very useless piece because she is too expensive, first you have to roll for the reinforcements (get a 20 in 6 o 7 iniatives throws) and republic 20 reinfrocement is 2 clone troopers and that´s it, fringe is far more useful. in other hand her CFX makes her to be in combat and keeping his units very close, she could die easily. | |

| | 01/14/2006 4:35 PM | Alert | | Her second commander effect blows too. I mean it's based on your own troops dying. A last attack before dying may be neat, but the point is to make the other guys die for their cause. If it's just wennie troops dying, how likely is it going to be that they will connect? If it's your high priced pieces going down that's just a waste of your points. Oh and you point Luisjoey is well taken, the six square range nerfs it into further uselessness. We are talking about a figure with a defense of 11 and 30 hit points, very fragile and using the CFX puts her at a high risk. | |

What do you think about San Hill?
I like the sculpt is a very nice miniature, the ability for reinforcement is excellent but depends on luck to get a 1, and the CFX is very awful, the strategy to play is to always go after your enemy with lots of droids, but what can you do if you can´t fire back, it makes you very vulnerable. In Other way he is Melee what a waste! | |

No way. The CE is the best thing about him.
Activating only one figure a phase is a good thing. It allows you to out activate your opponent! By the time they are out of activations, you still have plenty. This allows you to take the advantage, in movemevent, attack etc. without retaliation. | | | |

Well, as long as we are going with "least favorite" and not worthless (as I find every mini has some level of worth):
Rebel Storm:
Princess Leia, Captive
I really should use this figure- Good HP, Force and only 13 points.
Plus- It is a young Carrie Fisher in the infamous slave outfit [:I]
But the low Def, Melee Attack always has me reach for the Senator or Rebel Hero instead. And if I am shy 13 points and want a Rebel, I would grab for an Elite Hoth Trooper first.
Clone Strike:
Gungan Cavalry on Kaadu
Not a fan of Gungans and have never found a use for this figure. And I wince when I compare him to Sandtrooper on Dewback.
Revenge of the Sith:
Bail Organa
Very expensive, and requires that you build an squad around him to take advantage of his effects. Adding damage with combined fire is great, but it is too limited with Alderaan Troopers only. It does work well with their Synchronized Fire but still you are paying 12 points to get one +11, 20 Damage shot when you get nearly the same thing from an Elite Clone Trooper for 1 point less, and without spending 29points on having Bail in your squad.
Universe:
Dr. Evazan
I am sure someone can make a case for him, but I never use him. Maybe I am still bitter about him taking up a VR spot (and still feeling bad for my friend who pulled like four) | | | |

I agree with you, Leia is only nice sculpt i´m still don´t have it
Gungan Cavalry is really usefull his ability is not a good deal you charge and receive and attack of oportunity, you could take this risk only if you are almost certain that you will kill your enemy before AoO (lackeys)
OrganaFor now is really expensive, maybe in the future edition more alderaan troopers will come, maybe for the old republic and they get a boost by him
Dr EvazanYES YES YES really awful! but i´m not sure if i´m lucky to still don´t have one, he is one of my last 7 [:)] | |

Leia Captive, no need too explain.
Clone Strike
Droid on STAP, a one hit and dead piece who may or may not get to use his ability.
RotS
Clone Commander, not only did we get him in CS, but he has ALL this cool stuff strapped to him and it means nothin'. Man I was po'ed he could've been nice.
Universe
Kaminoian Ascetic, why? because I got him in almost evry pack I opened. Yes I'm fibbing abit but not by much :). I also just don't care for him at all. | |
Champion of Jarlaxle

Star Wars Year one complete,44/60 Champions of the Force,0/60 Bounty Hunters | |

Clone commander is nice but the CFX is not so usefull, the clones need better CFX, republic remains as the worst shooting and common-uncommon faction.
Kaminoan Ascetic... who cares about him? in a world of blasters and lightsaber he would fight with bare hands??? expensive to open doors. | |

Agreed.
I can always find a use for a mini (either in SWM or out) but a 'crappy' R or (worse) VR makes me feel like I got cheated. | | | |

I am more charitable and think that some of them are because the designers overestimated the value of an ability, since the point value system is rather subjective. | | | |

Not a force power per se... but remember that every power in SW comes from the force... It´s a natural ability for the Race.
She´s bald because her race is bald, like twilek have head tails and trandosian are scaled. No more meaning far from that. | |
