After watching Rogue One and my daughter being taken in with the Star Wars universe, I've persuaded her I should get Star Wars Rebellion...look for unboxing after Christmas  :)

I'm watching it to see if it goes on sale. And I really can't wait to see Rogue One!

I've seen short small sales for it in the past year. 

Dunno if it'll get marked down when during movie hype period.  May have to wait for a few months..

CSI has it on sale right now.  $64.99

JudgeDredd

What's with the "150 figures"? Is that the contents of Rebellion 'cos I haven't looked in detail at the contents...there didn't seem to be that many in the pictures I saw

Think so.

There are quite a few in it. 

So many fancy components.. the reason it's suggested retail was $99.

I never looked at the details - I just knew I wanted a Star Wars game and this was the latest one (and the scale I think she may be interested in)

Maybe I'll go through the other board games with her - check before I buy - see what one she's more interested in

You're a retailers wet dream JD

I didn't even look - I just bought it  :clap:

JudgeDredd

I know  :-\

I've done some surface scratching and to be honest it was off the radar because it was £70. However, after going to see Rogue One, I managed to get Cathryn (who said I shouldn't buy it previously because of the price - she's my "little Angel" on my shoulder) to join forcesl.

Now I've got the "all clear" - as the kids on board, the wife has little to no say  L:-) - I can look at the options and some detailed reviews. Rebellion seems to score highly at Board Game Geek (is that yours by the way).

It may not be Rebellion...she or I may prefer one of the other ones - but from my skimming around, it seems Rebellion is a good game...so it's very likely going to be that one.

You're lucky to have made it back.
Well I immediately closed my browser and ran antimalware and antivirus scans - nothing found - PHEW!  :DD
