Well, maybe not so dark.<\/p>\n

There are some things related to Star Wars<\/em> that I do not like.\u00a0 Toxic fanboyism aside, I’m referring to merchandising.<\/p>\n

As part of this new version, players are expected to buy conversion kits for their existing miniatures to make them ‘2.0 compatible’.\u00a0 The problem is that each of the 3 conversion kits are $50 (retail) and cover a broad range of ships within each faction (Rebel, Imperial, Mercs).<\/p>\n
