I know this section of the forum is slow but I was wondering about other people’s ideas. For me I want my collection to look uniform. I don’t play the skirmish so mine are strictly for RPG.  The difference in the thick square and the thin round would be a distraction in a game. I will buy only some singles and rebase them. I am not going to swear the line off I just hope this is a one time deal. I worry that this is a permanent change and may be more trouble for me to debase and rebase to the new format. One set I will get a few rares and maybe some super looking commons or uncommons but rebasing all I get means I will have to limit the number to those I will take the trouble to change. If it’s the new format I may be done collecting and will concentrate on DDM and Marvel Hero Clix. Â
This isn’t a boycott. I like the star wars line and have been happy collecting them. The differences in bases are a big deal for me and I will only rebase so many. I hope this is a celebration deal and will go back to the round bases next set. | | | |

| | 04/18/2007 7:57 AM | Alert | | I prefer square bases to the max. Should of had them all along. I will buy more knowing they will not have them in the next set. Square bases assist in formation movement so I will want lots of rebel troops and stormtroopers. I know there is not a rule for formations, but I've got plans for the rpg. | |

Either way I only every buy a handful of boosters at most and the odd single so it won't effect me too much. | | | |

| | 04/19/2007 5:57 AM | Alert | | since i mainly use them for dioramas and some for D&D roleplay or star wars vs D&D games it makes a huge difference. i fht e bases are signifigant enough that new stormtroopers tower over old ones that ill just rebase the singes purchases from ebay,etc and save my money for other stuff. being square itself didnt matter | |

| | 05/20/2007 3:43 PM | Alert | | I would have prefered square bases from the beginning as well. Now it seems a bit stupid to change halfway through. I'm still using some of my WEG figures anyways so what can you do? Some of the repeats seem a little silly. I think I'll print the cards off rebelscum and use my old minis. | |

Meh, I'll deal with it. Frankly I've got enough older SW minis, the sheer amount of re-sculpts in each set is a bit much for me. | |

Hopefully, the first run was short since it's supposed to be for collectors.Â

I've heard that complaint a lot from friends who collect sw.

My friends and I rarely play that way actually. We try to put together fun and interesting squads rather than the most tricked out squad we can muster. I also use DDM and SWM a fair amount as RPG figures, being the obsessive compulsive fellow I am the square bases mixed with the round one gives me fits. | |

| | 06/17/2007 1:09 PM | Alert | | I don't like the idea, because it can be distracting in a skirmish. U should be able to look at the board/mat and see all of the same thing, and then when u look at the cards, those r red instead of blue. It's a lot harder to consentrate when there is to many differences happening in the game that don't need to happen. | | | |

That's pretty much with just the larger figures. The SWM large and huges have a diffrent kind of plasic used for their bases, it's slightly harder than the figure plastic and seems to have solved the situation(at least with my figures). | |

I guess it's like my feelings toward pre-painted figures; I'd prefer not, but I'll still get what they're making. I've had some warped bases already with the square ones. It's nothing I couldn't fix, but it is harder than fixing the round bases. And, what's up with the SW logo on the side? Do they expect players to forget what game they're playing mid-game? | | | |
