    In my opinion there was a huge missed opportunity to add Rex to 501st and General Veers to blizzard force. Even give the invasion force a tactical droid to balance the boxes out.

    Personally I feel that the separatist box was the best overall deal leaning towards new players because the purchase of two borders on the lines of competitive play and builds probably the Best of the separatist teams. The other three do not see the same Light But the rebel and clone army look to fit great with the original starter box. Empire was a major letdown in my opinion.

    Honestly, as a Rebel player, out of the Echo Base Defenders, I only have one Vet (plus Turrent) squad and Leia. So snatching up the Echo Base Defenders will be perfect for me! Chewie, R2, C3PO, 4 Rebel Vets, 2 Tauntauns (which are still amazing!), and the pizza turrent, which I always wanted to grab. And basically all of that comes around at half price. So Echo Base Defenders is a dream come true :)

    While some of the choices are thematically puzzling, I think it’s undeniable what a clue these boxes are. Separatist players looking to get more B1s can add the rest of the units in the box not much more than the cost of the base B1s, and you can make a similar cost comparison to the other 3 boxes as well. I feel there’s only a very small segment of the Legion community that truly can’t get anything out of them, and that makes these really a superb addition to the range.

    My favourite bit about the box arts for Rebs and Imps is Han on Tauntaun and Snowtrooper Speederbikes. I'm definitely buying (already pre-ordered) both of those and I'm even going all out to not only expand each force but to build a Skirmish table based on the Imperial assault on Echo base. Just need to decide on how to go about it and whether I want it on a separate board or the reverse of my Endor skirmish board. Either way I plan to convert what doesn't fully fit the sets theme (short sleeve Leia, Scout bikers) to make it fit more into the setting, really push my hobby skills to their limits.
