I'd have to say the Mandalorian faction came out on top in this set. I'm really liking the Mandalore on Basilisk War Driod but a cool tech piece would have to be the Mandalorian Technician. Strafing just got so much more fun.

There's about a million ways you could build him, but they found one that really does a good job of representing the character. I put up pictures of the custom I made of him Jan 2, 2005. Will finally get to see play: http://www.bloomilk.com/Forums/default.aspx?g=posts&t=11860&p=2 Yours is the one that kept popping up on searches. It looks very nice. Just remember, he's a small base. :) Doh! may have to swap that out when i get around to it. One of those things. No biggie. I'm working on one now as well.

One thing to remember about these TOR Non-U's. each one has other companions. These companions, as I have no idea what the VSet creators have in mind, could lead to other Comraderie functions. The Smuggler could get Akavi Sparr (a Unique BH) that could boost his D by giving evade and Deadeye. The Smuggler gets the use of some under used CE's (Talz Chieftan, Jabba CL) that Rex doesn't have access to.

The BH's have Blizz, Skadge, Mako, Torrian and Gault. I got my BH maxed and have been working in minis for this group for a while.

As new sets come out I sure a lot of minis will get better over time, and sure some of those other TOR characters will get cards sooner or later. We can really only go on whats out now though. I know you may well know of character(s) that are under development for set 6 or even set 7, but the rest of us can only go on the here and now. Rex without actually going though the cards must benefit from at lest some of the order 66 CEs that the Smuggler doesn't have access too? plus others even though he is a commander himself. Plus he is actually giving out a CE himself.

I got my smuggler to 50 and then promptly deleted it, and rarely play my 50 BH...anymore most of my guys have HK-51 as their companion and the rest are largely ignored...

If you bring him into Imperial with Palpatine Sith Lord, he does get access to some good Imperial CEs for allies. Often he gets played as a stand alone shooter in a Republic squad, neither benefiting from CEs nor having followers benefit from his CE.

Although a topic for another time, once you have HK-51, you pretty much need no other unless you just want to boost them for story points.

I'm not sure I can identify a clear #1 as this is a very, very well done set. I'll give my top 5 but even these might switch order with play experience.
1. Luke Skywalker, GH - At last we have a sub 50pt melee Luke and he is flipping fantastic. I can't find a thing wrong with this piece.
2. Darth Caedus, SL - Utterly replaces the WotC version and a legitmate arguement can be made for this piece in the #1 slot. His movement breaker is very powerful and he can be boosted in horrible ways! Easily worth 54 points.
3. Marn - I'm not knowledgable on the character but the piece is super cool. Jarael has a new best friend.
4. Mando Tech - So techtacular I don't know where to begin!
5. Admiral Akbar - Finally the NR has access to the Admiral and he has such a cool suite of abilities. I love the combination of Diplomat, Recon and a Damage rating

Not that people use Cody with Rex a whole lot, but its kinda cool.
