What are Star Wars Miniatures?

Play out the battle between good and evil on your tabletop with the Star Wars Miniatures Collectible Miniatures Game, fully assembled, prepainted plastic miniatures of characters from the Star Wars Universe.

The product line has a total of 60 (per set) unique pre-painted plastic miniatures built to standard hobby scale (32 mm). All miniatures packages are randomized and made up of figures of varying rarity. Miniatures can be used to play skirmish-level or mass-battle combat scenarios, to add dimension to Star Wars Roleplaying Game, and makes for a great collectible.

Star Wars Miniatures Starter Sets provide all the starting materials a player needs to become familiar with the brand-new Star Wars miniatures game. The miniatures in in a Starter Kit are randomized and playable right out of the box.

Star Wars Miniatures Booster Packs includes seven fully assembled, prepainted plastic miniatures, including super-rare figures that are not available in the Starter Set, with a full-color stat card for each.

The game includes miniatures printed at four different levels of rarity: Common, Uncommon, Rare, and Very Rare. Each of the first three sets were packaged in individual booster packs of miniatures, which in turn came with 7 random miniatures (1 rare or very rare, 2 uncommon, and 4 common). On average, one in three booster backs included a Very Rare instead of a normal Rare. According to game developers, the rarity of a figure is directly related to the complexity of its sculpt, because complex miniatures are more costly for the company to produce. As it happens, many of the best-known individuals in Star Wars, such as Boba Fett, end up having complex miniatures and thus are Very Rare.


Mini Sets Available:

Each of the released sets focuses on different aspects of the Star Wars history, and some sets may be more desirable for people than others based on this fact.

Rebel Storm, being the premiere set of the game, focused on the struggle between the Rebels and the Imperials throughout the classic Star Wars trilogy. Only characters from the three original movies (A New Hope, The Empire Strikes Back, and Return of the Jedi) were included.

Clone Strike represented the struggle between the Republic and the Separatists at the dawn of the Clone Wars consisting of figures from The Phantom Menace and Attack of the Clones films as well as figures from the Clone Wars Animated Micro Series. Clone Strike was the first set to be taken out of print, and many of its pieces are especially sought after for that reason.

Revenge of the Sith was based on the movie of the same name (see: Revenge of the Sith). Characters from the final movie in the Star Wars saga were introduced in this set.

AT-AT Imperial Walker Colossal Pack, colloquially known as the AT-AT, is a unique standalone Star Wars Miniature released by Wizards of the Coast. It was officially released in November, 2005 as a Limited Edition figure, and is currently no longer in production. The AT-AT "Colossal" miniature, is substantially larger than any other figure produced in the series. The set contains special rules and scenarios booklet, as well as a double-sided map, depicting Hoth.

Universe is a set that spans the entire Star Wars chronology, ranging from The Phantom Menace to the invasion of the Yuuzhan Vong. This is the first set to feature a substantial number of individuals from the Expanded Universe as well as Huge figures (particularly large figures that take up a 3"x 3" area on a map of which there are 10 in the set).

Attack on Endor reprinted figures (Stormtrooper Officer, Stormtrooper and Stormtrooper Scout) as well as the (elusive) AT-ST (which is also in the Universe set) from older sets that were present during the Battle of Endor.

Champions of the Force finally introduced the Old Republic and Sith factions, and mainly takes place during the Great Hyperspace War and Sith War of the Star Wars timeline but overall covers all eras of the Star Wars Universe. Includes figures like Luke Skywalker and Exar Kun as well as Dark Jedi.

Bounty Hunters focuses on the Fringe faction for the most part featuring the underworld of gangsters, bounty hunters, mercenaries, and Mandalorians plus some Republic, Separatists, Rebels, and Empire, with less emphasis on Expanded Universe figures. It also includes 11 huge figures, rather than the 10 included in Universe.

Starship Battles is a standalone space combat game. This game is centered around starship combat and players will control starships (such as X-Wings, TIE Fighters, Star Destroyers, Trade Federation Droid Control Ships, etc.) rather than individual characters. The Starter set includes Super Star Destroyer Executor (from the Galactic Civil War Era) and the Mon Calamari Star Defender Viscount (from the New Jedi Order Era) along with eight randomized ships. The boosters contain 7 randomized ships from all eras. There are 60 different ships to collect.

Alliance and Empire This set celebrates the 30th anniversary of the Star Wars saga with a collection of miniatures inspired by the original Star Wars film. Figures are drawn from the landmark films to the computer games and the novels. The set pits the Rebellion against the Empire in battles to decide the fate of the galaxy. The 60 miniatures in this anniversary edition have square bases to commemorate the 30th anniversary. Each miniature's base has the Star Wars logo on the front.
