I only read half of this thread but to reply to the top half about refs from other sites I have this problem. I have no way to confirm you are who you say you are from another site. Someone like Dean alot of people know and his rep alone would be enough to trade with. However, when I first started here I had some guy from Mexico tell me he had 40 or so trades from WoTC but none here. We never got a trade worked out because he kept changing his mind. I noticed he had tons of great figs to trade but even now almost a year later has no refs here. It made me glad I never confirmed a trade with him because who knows if he was trying to scam me.
So the short of it is I think if you are relatively unknown in the SWM community only your trade refs here will matter to me when I do a trade. You can tell me you have a 1000 on another site but if I can't prove you are that person it does me no good to know that.

well you could always look at said site for conformation. A lot of people even use the same name, for example you could find me(Dr. Destructo) at 4 different sites, but its all me.

Well personally I don't see the need to go through all that trouble. If I'm not registered on the other site in question then it would even be more hassle. All I have to do is expect them to earn their status here

They are terrific fodder..... a gran raider that shoots or can combine fire!!!!!
Dont melt them send them to me!!!!! I second this, I have about 8 of these guys. I would even vote for another race/gender thug as a reprint in a future set. A 4 pt shooter! What else can offer that besides the Battle Droid and a Mon Calamari Tech (does anyone even have one of these?)?
