I quite like the range of options - it's not like a google search engine, where you want to keep things trim and easy to use - it's a resource for star wars miniature enthusiasts who probably aren't going to be scared off by too much information. The ones I don't really use are gender, and the force powers a character does not have.

The ones I think are most indispensable are faction, point cost, commander, has special abilities, and has force powers.

I added a post a while back, but I miss being able to sort the results of the search by bloomilk ratings. I also wonder if it would be good to search by bloomilk ratings. It might also be good to search by price, as long the price information is up to date - when I started I would have found it very helpful to find all the pieces rated more than 8.3 that cost less than $5.

I'd like to see an "OR" option for special abilities and force powers. That way I could in one search, search for all characters with either Evade OR Stealth, to be used with my TBSV.

I've used every single one of them (including the ranges) except gender. If there were an SA/CE that restricted by gender I'd probably use that too.


Name, faction, SA, FP (and does not have SA/FP)



Not really. I guess gender. "is unique", "is subject to CEs", "is commander" are the ones that would be easiest to live without. You could get rid of the ranges on attack/def/dmg I guess and we could just sort by that value - assuming the sorting came back.



Bring back the sort on the column headers. A HP per Cost would be a nice column to have - to either sort or search by (or both).

Search by era would be nice. If the dates for all the figures were updated, you could enter a date or range of dates and list only figures that have a date that falls in that range. I haven't messed around at all with era-specific battles, but that search capability might cause me too. A Vassal league might even pop up around the idea. (This might also breathe new life into a bunch of fringe fillers that suddenly are the only options to fill a role in a particular era/faction.)



Sounds nice and wouldn't be bad, but the current search is better.


Not a good idea unless your profile remembers your preferred toggle mode. I almost always would use advanced search. For basic, I'd say: Name, faction, set.

Gender-For customs
Base size-For swapping and Troop Cart-like movement

Personally, I think they are all useful, in one way or another, except that "Is Commander" and "Is subject to CEs" is overlapping and the second is more than likely unneccessary.

On the one hand, yes, Savage and Droids are not subject to CEs, and so they would be the difference between the two lists, BUT 1) there really arent that many of those two groups, 2) Each of those groups have CEs that effect them specifically, and Savage has Empathy to get rid of it to make it subject to CEs, 3) I would wager most people would be aware of those groups not normally being subject to CEs and would be able to eliminate it from the list mentally.

Forgot about Force Spirits too, but Im not going to rewrite the above for it, lol.

So, just a thought.

Also, I agree with swinefeld, I like the idea of a species sorter.

Very good points.

And so far we're at +3 for adding species to the character data!

I don't see that any need to be taken away as I use most of them as well. But one I would like to see added if possible would be a by Race tab. So if I selected Wookiee it would show me all the Wookiee characters. Or show me all the Rodian and Trandoshan characters. If that is possible. Greedo for example doesn't have Rodian in his name. So if I type Rodian in as a Name search category he doesn't show up. Just a thought.

The Base size could be removed. Ive used most of the others.Definately in favor of Species. Thank you so much for your work Shinja!

Most people use it for thrawns swap. So that they Know who can be swapped. (alot of people at my area didnt think bomo was a small base)

Now that you mention it, I use that one in MM fairly often.
