As in FT, in case someone missed this admittedly subtle reference.

Just wanted to point out, in case someone wasn't aware, that clix are
produced by Wizkids, StarWars by Wizards of the Coast. I'm not a big fan
of
either game, but I've not seen the same sculpt reused in the same way in
either the Star Wars, or D&D collectable minis from WotC. Not saying it
doesn't happen, or won't, just that it's not a main theme the way it is
with Mage Knight, HeroEtAl, Mechwarrior, et al.

In MW, you get the regular three levels (rookie, veteran, elite?) plus
special named units, plus special 'clan' versions. Same fig goes a LONG
way. ;->=

However, I have seen earlier editions of the Star Wars figs drop in
prices;
my point was, same result on picking stuff cheap for other games.

Let's not forget that even the noble Jon has done some collectable
stuff.
Heck, I'm hoping to soon to have news to share about a fig based on me.

At least, that's likely to be collectable around here.
