Can you share your justification of Thon? I have heard mostly people griping about his size hurting him, and that its dangerous for him to transport allies. Id like to here the counter argument (plus we have had a few new sets since I last heard that).

Bryan Hole's GenCon squad prominently featured Thon, and only lost to the eventual 1st and 2nd place squads.

He is a beast himself (no pun intended), tough as a rock, force repulse 4 is awesome, and the mount ability rules.

Throw a mouse on his back and he gets the senators immediate attack anywhere, so he hits for 70 with Bastila on. 130 in a phase

Whats your reasoning on Lord Kaan? I have yet to use him, but that's because I haven't found a good squad type for him. (other that Revan SL but I haven't gotten that to were I like it.)

This squad (designed by Timmerb123) won two Regionals (on the same day!) in 2012.

http://www.bloomilk.com/Squad/117445/jaqed-up-
--'JAQ'ed up!--
62 Darth Revan, Sith Lord
36 Atton "Jaq" Rand
36 Lord Kaan
27 Lobot
16 Grand Admiral Rulf Yage
14 Exar Kun, Dark Force Spirit
6 Mouse Droid x2
3 Rodian Brute
(200pts. 9 activations)

It's still one of the better Sith options out there.

I've been keeping pretty quiet ever since I accidentally spoiled Darth Talon in set 5, but what the heck.

Yep, Swinefeld is right: this guy is SO cool. IMHO he's kinda like the Kelborn of the Vong. He's quite different from Kelborn, but his impact will be that the Vong now have some decent Tier 1 options.

Agreed.

He had quite a progression from beginning inception to end stats, but I really think he gravitated towards what the Vong NEEDED.

When this set gets released, they will be a for real threat, like they should have always been. Bomb

(For what it's worth - his name has already been semi-spoiled through Minos' camaraderie. There are a couple other possible game changers in vset 7, but I held back on those that have not been alluded to yet.)

I went through in my lunchbreak yesterday, and chucked everything in a pivot table. Here's the top 5 for each faction, as voted by the community. Seems like a pretty good list - go groupthink! Looks like 26 v-set pieces and 29 wotc pieces altogether.

Old Republic
Bastila Shan, Jedi Master
Atton "Jaq" Rand
Satele Shan
Carth Onasi, Old Republic Soldier
Old Republic Senator

Sith
Darth Caedus, Sith Lord
Darth Revan, Sith Lord
Darth Zannah
Sith Recruit
Exar Kun, Dark Force Spirit

Mandalorian
Kelborn
Mandalorian Captain
Mandalorian Scout
Mandalore the Vindicated
Boba Fett, Mercenary Commander

Republic
Mas Amedda
General Obi-Wan Kenobi
R2-D2, Astromech Droid
Mace Windu, Legacy of the Light Side
Yoda on Kybuck

Separatist
IG-Lancer Droid
Poggle the Lesser
General Whorm Loathsom
Battle Droid Officer
Darth Sidious

Rebel
General Dodonna
General Rieekan
Princess Leia
Luke Skywalker, Rebel Commando
Luke Skywalker, Hero of Endor

Imperial
Thrawn (Mitth'raw'nuruodo)
Admiral Daala
Admiral Gilad Pellaeon
Admiral Ozzel
Arica

New Republic
Ganner Rhysode
Luke Skywalker, Galactic Hero
Mara Jade Jedi
General Wedge Antilles
R2-D2 and C-3PO, Galactic Heroes

Yuuzhan Vong
Yammosk War Coordinator
Nom Anor
Yomin Carr
Supreme Overlord Quorreal
Warrior Caste Sub Commander

Fringe Attackers
Cad Bane
Dash Rendar, Renegade Smuggler
Klatooinian Assassin
Morrigan Corde
Zam Wesell, Bounty Hunter*

Fringe Tech
Mouse Droid
Ugnaught Demolitionist
R7 Astromech Droid
Talon Kardde, Information Broker
Lobot*

* There were a couple of ties down here, which I settled arbitrarily. Sorry Jarael, Celeste, and Klatooinian Captain.... Zam had the highest Bloomilk rating, and Lobot seems obviously a more important piece than the KC. Also, if people voted for affinity pieces (eg Dodonna), I counted their votes under the original faction, but if they voted for the same piece twice (eg a vote for Dodonna in NR and Rebel), I only counted the vote once. Sorry for not making this clear at the start.
