Yeah, Dan, those models sucked me in and the result has been an excessively open wallet!
Orders placed so far:
Khurasan (x 2 orders) - one received,
2nd order received 11/4/22Highlander Studios - substantial order
received 11/5/22Ground Zero Games - ridiculous order!
received 11/11/22 - and heavy!Alternative armies - pretty good order
received 11/12/22Brigade models - pretty good order
received 11/14/22Rebel Minis - small order (maybe more when they restock a certain item)
edit: received 10/26/22CP Models - just a small order for Star Wars stuff (some other non-SW stuff)
edit: received 11/4/22Clear Horizon Miniatures - smallish order
edit: received 11/10/22and Wal-Mart. Wal-Mart? Yes, for some Hot Wheels Star Wars vehicles. Others purchased at local War-Marts off the shelf.
edit: received Sandcrawler 10/26/22 | received two AT-ST 10/29/22I may search about for an affordable crashed star destroyer or maybe even a freighter to create an 'ancient' battlefield littered with debris, but I will cheat and use non-Star Wars models for the most part. Keep the SW stuff for in-tact ships/craft.
There will also be some scratch building in the offing - included in orders above are a bunch of building components for that purpose. Already have some wooden "boxes" that will be turned into buildings. And thinking how to combine some cones with some spheres to create a different set of buildings. Oh, included in above orders are buildings from a couple of the suppliers - enough for two towns or bases.
I should end up with quite a collection of figures - and lots of aliens which might not be strictly Star Wars but will give that textual feel I like so much with the series. I plan to have at least three tiers of Storm Troopers from best to 'worst' as well as an Imperial force (as in emperor's guards). Similar for the rebels, I will have different levels of regulars as well as less regular rebels, militia basically. And then a separate force of smuggler types, probably two opposing forces - that will only ally against the empire. Will also have a pretty good contingent of unarmed civilians to scatter about. Heck, I've even located three aliens to create a musical trio! That should be fun.
My focus will be on the original three movies but will let other stuff creep in as I see fit.
I think it is now time, hopefully - except for the damaged star destroyer, to close the wallet up tight.
