I'll bet your wife wishes you'd just buy porn.

Porn is as fleeting as a summer's stroke. No matter how good one is at longevity, X-Wing Miniatures stay hard in your hand much longer. O:-)

HOLY SCHNIKEES

Star Wars X-Wing Miniatures Nebulon-B Frigate

http://www.amazon.com/dp/B013O5291U?psc=1

:o :o :o

$240

I thought the Tantive IV was huge!

SDR, we're done for. What's next, a full-size Star Destroyer? We'd need to play it out on the driveway or street, or a parking lot.

They're starting to cross the line into madness with this size a ship. I can't imagine how many points that is.

One move and it'll be off the table.

I've already seen a couple of Star Destroyer playing mats and Battlefield in a Box and JR miniatures already make 3D models for shield generators and gun turrets.

I am not impressed with that Nebulon frigate. :(

this is a frigate:

BC, I think you should definitely buy the frigate.

Ha, no. $240 is way too much (they even want $4.49 shipping...strange, most things on Amazon give free shipping for orders over $50). Plus that fucker is huge. No way I could get that to the hobby shop's gaming table.

Though it IS on my radar now...Muwahahahahaha...

Amazon free shipping only applies to items sold by Amazon or for orders fulfilled by Amazon.

Ah, okay. My bad then.

Still, if you can afford $240 for that ship, an extra $5 probably isn't going to be an issue.

And yeah, Star, if this were scale, that Neb-B would probably be more accurate. And badass.

You guys need some kind of beer & strippers intervention or something.

Is that the family-clean version of Hookers & Blow?

I'm almost offended by the level of G-rated restraint shown.

It is unusual for this crew.

Looks like it's not an "official" miniature. Now that Disney owns the rights, I can imagine that it'll be a short amount of time before a lawyer-filled Death Star with mouse ears casts its shadow over this guy's business.

Buy it fast!

ROFL

<~~ Somebody should probably show that to Jarhead! ;D

Got the Raider today. It's pretty cool looking, quite big, but very, very delicate. There were a fair number of posts over at FFG about guys snapping the wings off just removing it from the plastic and now that I've held it, I can see how.

It's got some cool cards in the pack to go along with the mini and the campaign looks interesting as well. Love all the pop-up missile turrets on the fig.
