The HoSS Cantina

[TREX]

@japes . If you like. Imperial assault has quite a few star wars figures in their sets and that game is also very cool. You get a bunch of cool figures and a cool game on top of that that plays 2 different ways. I wont rebase my figures from it as I enjoy the skirmish game much more than heroscape and have made 2 tweaks to it to turn it gridless. Its awesome.

Last year I had success buying up huge lots of figures, sometimes even with no cards, making them more affordable. In most lots there were enough figures to get a good start. I peeled off what I needed for HoSS and sold off the rest. I even made a little profit. I would search Craigslist and Ebay for big lots, have a few hundred bucks ready to pay, take what you need and sell off the rest.

Hey I see @TREX has a tagline finally I thought "is hexless" would have had a nice ring to it since you mention going hexless in your sweet custom terrain thread

Yeah that looks to be my only option though disappointing for my son as we'd talked about ordering this after Christmas for months. Hopefully it doesn't take too long

Here are a few collections available through ebay classieds in Germany for different price classes. I am happy to help with translation or even buying and shipping.

Well we ended up piecing from a couple sites. We got the main heroes (Luke, Leia, Han, Chewy, and a double figure that we will try to split up with C-3PO and R2 and a Vader) Some Rebel Troopers and Stormtroopers with a couple Heavies and the one Rebel Vanguard that was available. Derlin and 2 Captains as well. For now we will proxy the ST and RT for the snow versions of each.

What has everyone been thinking about The Last Jedi? I hated it the first time but enjoyed it more the second time.

Spoiler Alert!

The Star Wars saga is about the Skywalkers. The Last Jedi metaphorically tosses all of that, and the last two years of speculation, off an Ach-Too cliff. The Last Jedi is a good story, it’s just not a Skywalker story. It, and now that we know Rey’s parentage, The Force Awakens, are both more so stories like Rogue One and Rebels with “cameos” from Han, Leia, Luke, Chewie and others than they are about the Skywalker family. That’s the most disappointing thing for me. I liked Rogue One more than The Force Awakens because I knew Rogue One wasn’t about the Skywalkers. Well it now seems this new trilogy isn’t really either.

All of that said, I loved practically every scene with Carrie Fisher in it. Blessed that she finished filming this before she passed. One of my favorite scenes was R2 showing Luke Leia’s old recording. I loved every meeting between the old characters. Luke’s soft hellos to R2 and Leia and excited hello to Chewie were so genuine and Luke-like. Truly special moments.

Plot-wise, Finn’s and Rose’s behind the back mission of Admiral Holdo was a waste. And then Holdo and Leia say they both like Poe. Holdo annoyed me in the movie up until her destructive suicide. I didn’t like that the sound goes out during that part. What did others think about that scene?

Oh, and no “I have a bad feeling about this”. Has Rian Johnson even seen a Star Wars saga movie? I didn’t mind Cassian and Jyn cutting off K-2SO in Rogue One and actually thought it was funny since it wasn’t a Star Wars saga movie, but for that line to be missing in a Saga movie is just plain stupidity on Johnson’s part.

Apparently BB-8 says it. In talking to two of my cousins, they thought this was kind of lame because we don't actually hear the words. To me this is more like the Rogue One version than an actual saga version, especially had Johnson left it way he had it - with Poe saying "Oh, I got a good feeling about it. Keep your chin up."

I'm seeing it tomorrow...We drop the in-laws off at the airport and then the family is heading straight for the theater. Sort of a reward for surviving the week.

You're assuming you do survive....

It's a big assumption at this point to be honest...
