| Nice photos. The front of the AT-ST looks off to me, I'll have to go look for a different photo. (The "eyes" look wrong, but I could be wrong.)
I like the larges but the huges shown seem less than impresive. The Rancor looks decent but the bantha, hailfire, and blue speeder seem bland. I guess we'll have to wait a bit more to see the rest of the huges. | |

| they are legit, they are showing the whole set at the Star wars celebration.
Almost every Star Wars site has already reported this so therefore it is fact.

| The Rancor and the "Huge" sized minatures will come in a booster box simular in size to DDM's Giants of Legend set. The AT-AT walker will be somthing you will have preorder for.

| Oh, ok I have not seen DDM at all so what is the price difference?
Is it WYSIWYG or is it a random Huge mini in each booster? | |

| No it will still be 7 minis.
1 rare or very rare
2 uncommons
4 commons
But there will be one huge as well so you will get 8 minis.
The one huge in the box will be uncommon, rare or very rare.
Supposedly the ratio is set where the chance of getting a spacific regular rare is the same as getting a huge rare...thats why there is no common huge.
But because of the randomness of it you could hit the jackpot and get a booster with a VR huge, a VR regular, 2 uncommons and 4 commons.
The price difference will be $19.99 for boosters. | |

| So, the list is...
Obi-Wan on Boga
Rancor
Hailfire Droid
Naboo Gunboat
BARC Speeder
AT-ST
Tusken on Bantha
Acklay
Reek
X-1 Viper Droid
Wow, I'm pretty impressed. Mostly... I don't like Barc speeder, that should be large. And no AAT [:(] I guess I'll have to try to make one of my own or get an action fleet one etc. Well, we've got stats for one already.
Count, are you sure about the amount of minis? Don't they refer huges as miniatures? Products page talked about 7 miniatures total.
There's two kind of rumors about rarity, all being common or them being uncommon, rare, or VR... I'm confused about that.
Isn't X-1 the one from Dark Empire, bug-like robot? Or is it the flying one that talked binary? | |

| It might be possible they may take a regular mini out and replace it with a huge...but D&D didnt do that..they just added a huge...but that wouldnt surprise me if they did it for SWM.
I am VERY sure that the creaters doing the Q&A session mentioning that Obi-Wan is VR because he is unique. So there are rarity level amongst the huges.
Yes the X-1 is the hunch-backed bug-like droids that play a major role in Dark Empire II. | |

| | Looking at some of the other minatures. I'm not sure I entirly like the Sith Ninja, I may have to do a head swap with this guy. The wolf fringer looks realy cool, as well as the Greedo alien in the trenchcoat. The Spider looking droid, doesn't it sort of look like the doorman from Jabba's palace. With all the endor stuff why no more ewoks, and who is the blonde in the red overalls? | |

| That thing is the droid at the door to Jabbas Palace that scares 3PO.
Its a B'Omarr Monk...they were an order of monks that thought that the path to true enlightenment was to leave the body behind and be a being of pure thought. They removed their own brains and lived in jars. The Spider droids are used to transport the brain around if it needed moving. The droid is programmed to obay the brain's thoughts.
Jabba's palace used to be a monestary to the B'omarr Monks...until Jabba took it over. As you can see some of the monks wander the halls of the palace still.
The blond in the overalls is Guri. In the book 'Shadows of the Empire' she was Prince Xizor's right hand woman. She is a droid. A human replica droid that looks exactly like a human. This terminatior is one of the most expensive peices of technology in the galaxy. Shes practically one of a kind. Xizor bought her to show off his wealth. She is a beautiful consort to hang on his arm...or a deadly assasin who can take out mutiple armed enemys with her bair hands if Xizor needs her to be. | |

| I'm pretty happy to see SotE figs like Xisor and Guri. Both the Falleen as a race will be an interesting addition to the game ( i know I love them in RPG and played one longer than any other SW charcater I ever played) not to mention a butt-kicking droid like Guri is pretty cool too.
