Kudos to you WotC for making the anouncement.  Timing is everything, and I think this appraoch makes people very happy.  Not the news of course.  that's sad.

But they are great games.

This is very disappointing. It's a shame WotC is losing my business now, as the Star Wars products (both RPG and minis) are the only things I care about from them. I suppose it's been a good run

Looks like my Old Republic and Vong faction are never going to be playable now.

As for another company taking over SWM's, well for me to start buy from them will depend on 2 things.

1. they are able to keep the current rule system

2. they continue where WOTC left off, if they just start afresh  then i will not be buying from them.


I am very saddened by this news, but as for all the members saying that everyone will just sell there minis. Well i disagree. Most will wait to see if someone else will take over from WOTC.


I will be keeping mine even if no one takes over.

I look forward to seeing any custom sets cards come out, that Dean mentioned might happen. I hope that some of the less developed factions gain from them, if they ever come out.

well as I've said before, I'll still enjoy this game. I plan on continuing to play as much as I can.

Well total mixed emotions on this one. I suppose it had a good run of 6yr's or so. On the one hand I won't need to get annoyed about the quality of the sculpts/paint jobs WOTC have churned out. Rebel Storm was the stand out set in my opinion. Just for the fact everything felt right even Jabba and the mounted Stormie. On the bad side I won't be seeing anymore minis after that final set but in truth WOTC lost me after the 40pc sets and some of my perceived quality issues.

The golden minis moment in all this for me was the Vassal league I hosted many moons ago. Some how it all seemed more fun and innocent at that time. There was also a lot of good fun had even in losing.

I will still visit here until the end (sounds so morbid) & will probably browse Gamers going forward. The re-costing/stating does hold interest. Especially if all the sets are redone sensibly. It will be a big task though for whoever takes it on. I suppose at least if some one wants to fix something it can easily be done rather than the whining that took place on here sometimes, no to say I didn't whine a little bit myself when the notion took me. Saying this some of the wars that went on were monumental and quite amusing at times. I suppose this would be the time to say sorry if I did offend any other member.

It will be interesting to see if another company picks up the Star Wars gauntlet. LFL will always be a complete pain in the rear and a hindrance to any games company running with it. In some ways I wouldn't mind if Games Workshop picked up the license. I know they would produce extremely well sculpted minis and I could only blame myself for the paint job LOL.

Finally I am glad WOTC were up front on this. This was a grown up attitude and saved having a lot of very annoyed players down the road, not to say it hasn't annoyed some at this point but at least they have held their hands up and been honest. Maybe WOTC could release a grand 100pc set as their curtain call on the game.

P.S. I don't believe the prices will be hurt too much for those who care. I don't believe this games major consumers have been the hardcore gaming crowd but the hard core Star Wars fans/collectors. Star Wars will always continue to gain more fans and WOTC will not be producing more minis and for that reason supply and demand will kick in over time. Especially for minis still bagged.

EDIT - Almost forgot! A big thank you to all those who put extra effort in supporting this community, you know who you are and thats all that matters.
