Since its debut in 2002, WizKids has dominated the Collectible Miniatures Game market they pioneered with two lines: Marvel HeroClix and DC Helix. No one came close to impinging upon their number one position, until Wizards of the Coast released first Dungeons & Dragons Miniatures, and then Star Wars Miniatures: Rebel Storm. And as we all know, if there is one license to trump them all, it is that of Star Wars.
As is standard for the CMG, Star Wars Miniatures: Rebel Storm comes in the starter set and booster pack format. It is in the game's Starter Set that you get all of the goodies: ten miniatures, a stat card for each, a large full-color Battle Grid (or map), eight full-color terrain tiles, the rulebook, a simple rules summary, and a miniatures set list. Each Booster adds another seven miniatures.
The miniatures come pre-painted and assembled in durable plastic, the average . . .
