| Just checking to see what everyone thought of the new expansion pack.
I thought the new AT-ST was well painted, the other miniatures were okay but it would have been nice to include a rebel commando as well.
I thought all the maps were great, although I was a little disappointed by the Yavin 4 map. I think some of the maps on-line are a lot more detailed. At first I though the beast map was weak, but playing it on the weekend, it is probably my new favourite. | |

| I'm giving it two thumbs up myself.
The AT-ST looks nice, even the blaster effect they have going for it. Even better it's a R that tends to go for around $20 online.
The New maps are gorgeous, I love that we are getting more of a variety now; not just Death Star docking bays and the insides of spaceships.
More stormtroopers are always nice.... but I agree there should have been some rebels included in the set. It feels less like a scenario pack and a little more like an Imperial pack.
The Price is right. I'm astounded that the whole thing only costed $20, I ended up getting two of them in the end. I'm very happy that they are going with the new scenario packs rather than the ultimate missions, which I skimmed through but never bothered picking up. | |

| Well the AT-ST is only a Rare not VR, but will agree it is one of the more desired figures (can't really bring myself to call it i mini since it is so big) I mean you just want 3-4 of them to squash Ewok, put one on your desk etc... I still want to get another Endor pack but my FLGS only got two cases, big call for orders in the week of release, i only got one, want to get another one at least.
Like all of the maps, only played on 3 of the 4 over the weekend, much more huge friendly, but have a question already on the terrain got to go look on the WotC site to see if it has come up... | |

| | I picked mine up and love it. They actually made the minis thier own set. I think that's pretty neat and I always liked the AoE AT-ST more than the Universe one. The three Imp's are all painted better than thier counter parts and the maps look great. A new DDM set is coming out so I don't know when or if I'll get another but if I do. The maps will be my guinnie pig's for lamination. Ghengis what is your question? | |

| It's the same one that by the looks of it on the WotC boards a lot of people had, just what the heck that brown line really is on the Bunker map.
The give no real info on what it is in the book.
I know how we played it, but would like to know the offical rules for that area. | |

| | I like the Endor pack and I hope that they do more scenario packs. They are also a way better package than the ultimate mission books plus it was $10 cheaper. I did not play the scenarios yet, but all of the maps play well in skirmishes. The at-st is also very nice. | |

| I'll say, I wish they didn't hide the plastic ties on the AT-ST. I nearly ripped one in two trying to get it out.

| | One store I stop into has a ton of them and they are not moving. They look great and all the extras make them worth the $20 or so dollars. I think they look great, but how are they selling in other areas. | |

| Are there scans of the maps so I can check them out before buying?
*edit-I found a link. The only one that looks somewhat useful for DDM would the the Rancor pit. | |

| | I was pretty happy with it. I picked it up for the ATST, as the Universe version is selling for around $25 around here last time I checked. So I got the piece for cheaper, and all the other stuff. I haven't used any of the maps yet, so no clue how I'll feel about those, but some of the scenarios seemed pretty cool. | |

| I picked one up, and am very happy with it. The price was right, and the maps and stormtroopers were really just icing.
Besides, I never pulled a Universe ATST, and don't RP SW often enough to justify picking up an ATAT, so this way I get a nice piece to display and use without spending a lot. | |
