I think the combination of the pretty great things we got in Dark Times, plus the comment of "going out with a bang", caused me to set the bar a little high for this set. So, I'm slightly disappointed. Granted, there are certain things that I'm really happy about, but I find myself being happy about only 4-5 pieces, compared to 10-15 for previous sets.

Overall, I think this will prove to be a fairly fun set. Should be good for sealed events.

Ok...not going to lie, I feel like I bought a wasted case.

I mean yea I like the new force spirits and Ganner, but beyond that not too thrilled. When I heard masters of the force was the last set...I thought there would be a ton of new force users, namely NR and Republic and Imperial pieces...yea all of 5 new pieces and only really liking 2 of them...the Dejarik pieces don't make any sense to me (yes I like Dejarik, but why did they have to be in this set???)

Grievous seems way weaker and lacking in special abilities than I originally thought he would be.

Still going to be fun to see what I pull (always is), but this set overall was a huge disappointment in my eyes.

I'll by a case for sure. I don't think I'd ever use Lando for his cost but other than that no disappointment whatsoever in my eyes.

im very dissapointed in my opinion prob on of the worst sets they have ever had. very light side heavy, which doesnt bother me that theres more light side but those that are in there are very heavy point costs and the dark side got no love on this set. grievous is laughable. labeled a warlord? of what? the carebears? i was kind of hoping he would still have the force. and lynn is decent i guess for the point cost but come on, 1 force point and being the hand of the emperor but haveing no force powers?! makes no sense to me. im probably wrong but thats how i feel. i was excited to get a new vong piece just wish it was a little more formitable. very glad i didnt buy a case.

oh i agree with you. i love this set, sure a couple figs could've been made better, but oh well it happens in every set.

Personally, I'm pretty stoked about opening my case....which is on hold at my LGS until I return home this weekend. As a collector, I am really excited! Lots of Uniques with cool sculpts. As a player, I think there are some cool new abilities that can be incorporated into existing squads. I think Cay's Legacy will be a really fun. Remember, Cad and Boba can't reroll the save in most squads....may think twice about delivering a final blow. I also really like Longshot +20, will change games with a crit roll. Ganner is very playable and will be welcomed in a lot of NR builds. The Jedi Instructor is just plain wicked....can't believe he's uncommon. Yeah, Grievous and Freedon are a little disappointing and I don't understand the excitment over Dejarik, but I'll take them anyway. Love the set, can't believe it's the last one.

I combine fire...but don't use Spotter, lol.

I read it wrong and I am a little disappointed. Along with the stats I am disappointed with the placements of characters. Seeing as this is the last set that Wizards will be putting out I was hoping for a bigger bang. I think they put a lot more rebels and republic. The break down so you don’t have to look your self is this
Faction-MOTF-Total
OR-5-33
Sith-1-38
Rep-6-160
Sep-1-98
Reb-6-140
Imp-2-140
NR-1-36
Fringe-16-249
YV-1-15
Mando-1-20
I think that they schould have evened out some of the factions when some don’t even have half as much as the Reb and Imp granted I know a lot of them are repeats such as Darth Vader, move him to Sith (something I was really hoping for) and we even things up some. Also I think they should have put Yoda and Anakin spirits into NR (I don’t see how Anakin is anywhere near rebel) and once more a little more even. I was also kind of hoping that they would have decided to make this an old 60 set instead of 40. But o well all is done and over with now. =(

Yeah, I'm seeing a lot of potential in those dejarik pieces.

First, this has to be one of the heaviest boosters in a while. Got my case and it definitely had some heft to it.

I'm pretty happy with this set. I can understand people's disappointment in regards to some of the uniques. However, we've seen a trend lately that they usually throw in some junk VRs and this set is no different. Grievous certainly fits that bill, but at least he isn't as hard to use as C3PO, Ewok Deity.

The Dejariks are pretty neat and have some nice sculpts. You are definitely getting some good hunks of plastic with your purchase. You could hurt someone with the Mantellian Savrip and Kintan Strider if you want. Ganner is a great piece, as are the two Force spirits. The OR is getting some solid additions and even the Sith have a solid piece with Nadd.

The Republic continues to get solid pieces (nice to see some good Jedi in the mid-30's to 40's) and an awesome addition with the Rodian Diplomat.

Rebels didn't need help and while Lando and Han aren't going to be the first picks for many, I can see Han surprising some people. Since he does count as Han Solo according to his card, he can be brought into the NR!

The Empire get some decent nods, many people are singing the praise of Vader and Arden Lyn is cheap enough to fit many squads well.

Yuzzhan Vong and Mandos get a nod, but I've never felt they ever need to be on the same level as the main factions. Their new additions seem to keep with that line of thinking.

Certainly to say "Star Wars minis is going out with a bang" is a bit misleading. This does not necessarily feel like that kind of set. However, as others have pointed out, it is in line with other sets of recent memory. Glad I got my case!
