Great game, just be aware of the possibility of shape distortion and how to fix it!

I love this game. It can be played almost like a traditional board game PLUS it has a great firefight mode. What's not to like!? Just one, and that cost him a star. The figures in the set are fantastic but they are made out of plastic which seems to warp easily with heat. Most fixes are easy. Dip Vader's lightsaber in hot water and reshape it. Hold until it grabs. BUT. My AT-ST had quite a bit of thermal sag up front where the chin tower is mounted. Very annoying. BUT this is fixable too. I simply held it under hot tap water for 20 seconds and then reshaped the "mandibles". Then I held it under cold water until it hardened. It was pretty easy to fix, but I've been messing around with plastic figures for years. Beginners may not know how to fix this and may just be frustrated with the "poor quality". I don't think FF can really solve this problem as the plastic used strikes a good balance between flexibility and detail. Something more heat resistant may be too brittle. But that's something people should be aware of.

Pros
  • Inspires confidence
Cons
  • There are nuances
