| | 03/10/2008 10:01 PM |  Alert | They Just posted Darth Nihl, interesting VR beatstick. Also judging by the previews it looks like they are giving us a weaker form of Force Lightning. I'm not sure how cool I am with that.

I was hoping that Darth Nihl would have terrible stats, because I was interested in the mini for D&D and the higher priced VRs just aren't worth it for that purpose.

The only reasonable priced rare that come to mind is Mon Mothra. 
I can see why you were interested in Darth Nihl as a D&D character. He's got a World of Warcraft Evil Elf look going there. The VR system is one of those things I hate and love about Star Wars minis. I hate it because it makes some of the sought after characters much harder to pull or buy. On the other hand I love it because it tends to de-value the rare minatures.

There are actually quite a few R and VR minis from Star Wars that I've picked up to use in D&D for a dollar or two plus shipping:
San Hill (RotS rare)
Sly Moore (RotS rare)
Tion Medon (RotS VR)
Nute Gunray (Un rare)
Mas Amedda (CotF rare, will probably actually use for a mod)
Yomin Carr (A&E rare, but has square base)
Ephant Mon (A&E VR, but has square base)
I generally try to wait until I run across a seller that has a reasonable combined shipping policy and also has some other uncommons or commons I'm interested in, so it requires some patience, but even even just paying shipping for a single item, some of these go for the price of a below average DDM rare.

| | 03/11/2008 8:23 PM | Alert | Oops I meant to say Very Rare, not rare. There's been a few auctions where I've picked up multiple cheap rares. Auggies tends to get most of my buisness. Lately I have not been buying much due to an email change, and school eating up my time and money.

| | 03/13/2008 8:17 PM | Alert | I generaly frequent Auggies, he's got pretty good BIN prices and his shipping is reasonable. I have not gotten anything off e-bay for a little while now, the last time I logged in most of my favorite sellers were gone.

| | 03/15/2008 10:38 AM | Alert | He'd be a pretty nice expert figure for D&D as well. The only realy high tech item he seems to have is that datapad. A quick brushstroke could easily turn it into a book.

Wiwerd, he was the first R/VR I pulled as well. Looks sweet, too.
