Clone trooper with night vision? Seriously?
I know that ideas might be starting to get thin, but come on.

But yes! Not one, but two commando droids in this set! And a captain to boot. If they have stealth and are fairly cheap, I definantly plan on using GGDAC, BDO, and Commando Droids squads.

I have to disagree with you, if the powerful pieces were all very rares then the winner would be determined much more by how much you can pay. You shouldn't be afraid to play the good pieces, everyone should have good pieces available to them. I am very happy with the rarities, and besides Worm Loathesome for a Battle of Christosis scenario, I don't see any very rares that I want (this will probably change once I see the stats).

Wedge and Rieekan. They've worked before, and I don't see any reason why they'll stop working. At least, not for me. And, failing some nasty CE popping up in GAW, they still don't have mobile attack so if they shoot you, you'll be shooting back.

I do really hate these one-sided sets, though. Is it too much to ask for a mini from another faction to make all of this marone and silver a little less nauseating?

though, I think droids would fear direct dmg far more, one well place flamethrower push or lightning and the droids are toast.

If you're buying SWM as a monetary investment, you're buying into the wrong game.

its not an investment for me, but if i put so much money into them id like to get SOME value from them ie the vrs

i make a ton of money off of star wars miniatures.
i also play this game every day, and have pieces i dont sell, which are the pieces i use for all of my squads.
if someone is into this game, and also sells pieces, then they arent "buying into the wrong game". they are capatalizing in their investment.
i know someone who sells nothing but miniatures, and he makes a killing as well. it works so well for him that he makes a profit and gets all the pieces he needs.
to me, there is nothing wrong with that at all, and if you look at half of everyones trade lists on Bloomilk, they too are either selling theyre really good minis, or trading them for really good ones.
Im tired of hearing that this is not a money game, this is just as much a money game as WoW, Diablo 3, DD, Axis and Allies. they prove that there is money in gaming, and if people want to make money out of it, go for it.
those same people who are selling minis are the same ones who are Buying the Boosters and cases, and inflating wizards economy. if they make a little something extra, good for them.

Two Words: Michael Bay.

If if makes stuff blow up, burn, or fly around in random directions against its will, use it.

How about Artillerists and Tarpals?. Two chances to either kill or activate a droid, maybe even an Elite Clone Trooper Grenadier. Of course you'd have to get in range for grenades, but the splashing is nice for each.

Ig has a point.
i dont see anyone using chameleon droids.
