So - I was doing a little messing with numbers today. I felt like I can finally figure out some numbers and call them FINAL, at least as far as what Wizards of the Coast did.

My calculating was based on reprints. Everyone talks about being part of the (what will be) 915 club (the final number).

Personally I reject that number.

I reject Rebels and Imperials for the total - it had 100% duplicates (same pose, same stats, same round base)

I reject the exact duplicates in Battle on Endor, Battle on Hoth, Clone Wars Battles, the '07 starter set, the Clone Wars starter set, and all 3 map packs for the total. (Same pose, same stats, same round base).

All that being factored in - Uniquely posed minis number: 862

That doesn't even count the 3 minis with the same pose, same stats but a round base from Battle on Hoth. (updated from the square A&E base). So now that number is 859.

Now I wanted to dig a little deeper. I personally reject reposed figures (same stats) as being "new". To me - it's all about the stats.

Well there are 71 figures reprinted a total of 125 times. 69 of the 125 were reposed. So if you are like me and you reject any mini as part of that number unless it has an original set of stats, then the ACTUAL FINAL number for "the club" will be 790.

After all - if we just counted every mini - I would be a part of the 2930 club - which is silly.

So where do we draw the line on what to count and what not to? Why not count promo repaints if you count a separate release of the exact same mini?

Why not count the non-uniques from the starter sets of Rebel Storm, Clone Strike and Revenge of the Sith? They were released in both the starter set and in boosters - 2 different releases. No different from a battle droid from Clone Strike and from the Crystal Caves of Illum map pack. It's the same exact figure! (Same pose, same stats, same round base).

Well the answer is we should not count them.

The 790 club. Forever.

:D

Are you a member too?

One day...one day.

Well I have the 790, I have all of R&I, and I have a handful of the promo pieces, if not for the vast array of promo pieces, the chaseness of them and their cost, I would have them all.

So I put myself under the Yes and then some.

Very Very Close.. Need just a few.

Yes, I have one of each unique stats. I like using this 790 number as a cutoff point to be complete for a gamer. I am more of a collector, so I lean a bit more toward the one of every sculpt to be complete (promos and re-issues don't count) and am complete there, too. Just missing a couple R&I which I may never get (not trying too hard, but will be fine if it happens) of all the pieces sold through retail. I have most of the repainted promos which are just fun. So I guess I fall off the board for choices, :)

891 for me. I'm ignoring Rebs & Imps. I could ignore the 2007 starter as it is also straight reprints, but I do have it... Endor, Hoth, CW Starter, CWB all have at least one character or sculpt not available in another set, so I count them.

Some of the promo repaints are cool, and I have a number of them but won't attempt to get them all, just the ones that appeal to me the most.

I'm also doing some army building, at least until all my trade bait is gone, then I guess I'll go into trading/buying retirement for good, except for new maps.

Nope, and it is not of import to me.

I have 290/915, and I'm not going to bother finding the number out of 790. The point is, I'll never get there.

Dont ever think I will get them all for Phoebe, although personally I like getting resculpts of certain figures, especially main characters, like Han, Luke, Leia, Vader, Palps, Boba, also building huge droid, clone, stormie armies!

I have 690 of the 915 and over 1000 total. I just won several auctions on ebay so thay will increase by 50 or 60. I do plan owning them all, even the reprints.
