I just have to ask this, but what's your favorite and least favorite set?

Favorite: Champions of the Force - So much fun stuff in one set!
Least Favorite: Rebel Storm - Hey, I joined the game right after Dark Times came out, what reason do I have to own anything from that set? lol

Favorite: Jedi Academy. Mainly because it was the only one I was around for when the release party came out. I just started playing a little over a year ago, and I only had a local play group for about 4 months.

Least favorite: Revenge of the Sith. I wasn't around for it, but looking back it looks like too much of a repeat of Clone Strike.

Fav: Dark times: loved the variety and plus it helps to have the set to mess around with months before it was released.

Least: Clone Wars: Sure it had some fun VR's but the common/uncommon selection was mediocre at best

Favorite Set: Not sure I really have a favorite, but I imagine KOTOR was one of the better sets. It was a huge shot in the arm for Old Republic, Mandos, and Sith and probably had the best percentage of actually usable C/UC figs for a variety of factions. No matter what you got in your booster, most of the pieces were playable with the right faction.


Least Favorite Set: TFU was by far the worst set in my opinion. It had a handful of truly awesome pieces that made me buy some of the set, but for the most part the C/UCs from the set were not really anything you'd want in multiples. With most C/UCs you can use extras as set dressing for RPGs or enemies/allies in RPGs or mass battles, but with TFU pieces you might use one or two in a squad and beyond that every other copy was pretty useless. And the Huges were, in my opinion, especially awful. Junk Golem, TIE Crawler, Knobby White Spider, Telosian Tank Droid -- nothing iconic, nothing that looked really cool, and nothing you'd want one of (let alone multiples of), yet you end up with a pile of if you try to buy enough TFU boosters to collect the set. When 4 of the 6 UC huges are so undersirable, it's a real problem for a Huge set. Sure, the Golan, Troop Cart, Uggernaught, ATST, Snowspeeder, and Rancor were all interesting and usable and just cool to have, but for every one of the R/VR huges you'd pull odds are you'd get 2-4 of the junky ones.

There is a large array of vastly different answers here - its awesome!

Nadd is actually pretty good. Dark Force Spirit AND Sith Sorcery? I'll take it, thank you very much, lol.

My Favorite - That is a hard one because most the sets have good and bad minis. But I will have to go with KOTOR because I really liked the 2nd game and the comics. It gave us several characters from both.

Least Favorite - RotS because we had just gotten Clone Strike, and there were a lost reprints. The General Grievous, JH mini was just bad.

For me, it's more about the characters and less about competitiveness since I use the figs for the RPG and collecting and rarely play the game. Because of that, the quality/selection of rares means the most, since that is most likely what I will get. With that, my favorite has been GaW because I'm a big Clone fan. DT is also great because all of the bounty hunters were in the rare slots. That was a good move. It also gave us some new, fun species.

I love the Dejarik in MotF because they added some great creatures for the RPG, but the rest of the character selection seemed pretty poor. I can understand, though, why others were disappointed with the Dejarik, especially since it was the last set.

As a whole, I preferred the 40 fig sets because it seemed like the rares were better. In the 60 fig sets, I always seemed to get the rares I had no interest in while the 40 fig sets had really desirable rares, often more desirable than the very rares. For someone who doesn't buy a lot of boosters and mostly trades and gets singles, this was fantastic. While some of the best individual figs came from those 60 fig sets, what I ended up with from those boosters never really seemed worth it.

Man, I got into this game at the Rebel Storm stage...a lot to reflect on.

Anyway, my favorite set is probably A & E, mostly because I've always really liked to play rebels, and that set produced a lot of new options (even though I dislike the square bases as much as everyone else does). My favorite newer set is probably GaW (which was the set for which I bought what will probably be my last case). I get very nostalgic about Rebel Storm and Universe in particular--my life was in a very different place, literally and metaphorically, five or six years ago, and some of those pieces bring back memories of some really good times with folks I don't see nearly as often as I'd like to these days.

My least favorite set almost has to be ROTS. Even at the time, I was like, what the heck is all this junk? Very little from that set holds up (other than R2, obviously).
