We posted real characters

There's a real one in there, people.

Actually more than one, it's just apparently nobody has found the others we posted.

I go there virtually everyday. Literally.

Really doubt that there's both Paploo on Speeder Bike and Paploo in the same set. Not a fan of "teasers" that may never be closed. Still waiting on anything that boosts an Ithorian or a Force power that grants extra attacks. (See Garm Bel Iblis.)

Nien Nunb looks like a pure handicap piece. Take this piece in a squad when playing against a newbie.

M-6 looks like decent tech, but non-essential tech. Recon and Pathfinder are decent abilities that are nice bonuses on other pieces but I don't think I've ever specifically looked to build a squad for them. Except Recon in a Reserves squad. But it does shoot and might be useful with Bao-Dur. Great HP:cost ratio and shields on top of it makes great survivability for the cost. Should be able to kill its points in enemy fodder if needed, but it seems like a luxury piece... i.e. I seldom have the luxury of 8 points of minor tech that isn't boosting damage output, survivability, or door control.

AT-ACT appears to be a pure scenario piece despite claims to the contrary. Having never played with the AT-AT I don't really have much basis for comparison.

Agree with some of the comments here.

I think one thing overlooked about Paploo on speeder is that it is fast flying distraction (which was literally his role in the movie).
Zoom halfway across the board and shut off a key CE for at an important moment. I think he's worth his points now and depending on Pablo it will only get better.

{edit - whoops I just gave away that just plain Paploo is in fact not in this set}

Sorry TJ that you don't like spoiler pieces. Others do. Some have practically been begging for ways that sets are more connected between each other and not just entirely individual sets. In fact, we may or may not have a spoiler piece in our set outside of Paploo on Speeder.

The reason for Sole Alligence is that we didn't want the piece just used for Thrawn to swap around with. Again - useful without other CEs.

Also we hope Sole Alligence catches on because at this point in the game it's getting hard to make certain pieces without them becoming broken because of the myriad of ways to boost them. We are more and more having to come up with abilities to limit the way characters are boosted. Imagine a new trooper that could only be boosted by commanders whose name contains trooper (for example). You could make it awesome and not worry nearly so much about it only becoming a piece in a certain squad.

All of that aside - how fun is that custom gonna look?




(Btw - Nien Nunb wasn't finalized when we posted, so a couple things may have been changed on him)

has anyone actually looked at the real previews?

Word is there were some previews on the Sith HoloNews Network on Thursday night
