Per my last post, I'm getting back into SWM. I don't think Vassal and the vsets are quite for me since the nostalgia is really with the physical collection and in-person table top experience. I've picked up a few small lots from ebay and my goal is to rebuild a collection of 4-6 core armies with a healthy amount of wildcards to adjust playstyle as needed for my group of friends that I will be introducing this game to. (possibly running an rpg using this system down the road too)

What has absolutely baffled me is that I distinctly remember playing against people, at my local card shop who ran Poggle the Lesser in their Separatist armies. He was a meta defining addition to the squad and there would be 3-4 of them present across a dozen+ tables. This is a core memory of mine because as a child, this was my first exposure to who Poggle the Lesser was in the Star Wars universe. Of course he was in the movies but my little kid brain didn't know his name until I played against him in a SWM tournament.

Researching now I see that in this reality he does not exist in any physical set and was only introduced in the first vset DotF, 2 years after I stopped playing.

Does anyone else remember Poggle being played back in the day, or am I alone in this interdimensional crisis?

Every set list on every source of physical mini's seems to be complete, minus the existence of Poggle. No record of sales on ebay. How, and more confusing "why" was this single mini erased from the history of the game?

No, I promise you it was Poggle the Lesser, hunched over with his little cane. I remember his army point cost being around the 30s from one of the earlier sets, Rarity VR. I don't remember what exactly he did but it was commander effect that was frustrating to deal with.

I appreciate the sanity check, but I did indeed sell all my minis before 2010. I doubt several players at my shop were playing with future unreleased proxies. I'm just gonna let this rest as a very odd occurrence in my life.
