Hi all,
while i ponder wether to buy Imperial Assault or not, I have been painting some of Hasbro's Star Wars Command figures. Bigger and cheaper, if you buy them in the right place, they will keep me going until I inevitably buy FFG's new game. They are a real mish-mash of scales but the figures are 'about' 54mm.

Those X-Wings might be useful for another popular Star Wars game?

Nice painting - looks right out of a graphic novel.

Those are pretty cool. I hope they make environments for them.

The figs themselves seem nice enough to paint as display pieces

Agreed, I'm not painting these with any rules or system in mind, quite liberating in fact. I've got a nice sandtrooper conversion underway currently, I'll post some images soon.

Really cool, I did look at these and wonder whether they would be useful for something. But hey even as display pieces they work well. What's the material like?

It's firmer than Reaper Bones but not as firm as New Airfix or Hat 54mm stuff.

For those in the US, ToysRUs has these on sale right now. They have a set only available there. It's 51 figures for $9.99. All are figures, no wonky scaled vehicles. The other sets all have vehicles. I am using the figs for old school D6 WEG Role playing.

almost worth the postage - is that in store or online? Over here a pack with 9 figures is £5.
