There are many things that make Star Wars Legion miniatures so special. First of all they are incredibly detailed, so much so that if you were to get a kit with just one Death Star, you would have to build two or three more just to be able to display them in your home. Second of all they are very interchangeable between the films and the comics, where in the films they were very somber and dark and almost somber as a whole while in the comics they were bright and fun and had a lot of character. Lastly, they were produced with large quantities, meaning that each individual miniature was a stand out piece, not just the generic Stormtroopers that appeared in everything from the original trilogy.
So why would you want to collect Star Wars Legion miniatures? Well if you want to collect anything. Do some reading about the hobby you're getting into and try to find as much information as possible on it. Once you have a good idea on what you want to do then you can look for stockists and distributors. The internet is a great place to do this, and there are many places that have a huge selection of miniatures and plenty of them for you to choose from.
Now, once you find a distributor you like then it's time to decide what type of miniatures you want. If you have a big collection then It is recommended that you look for Star Wars figures, but if you don't it's okay because you can always get them combined. If you already have an idea of what you want then the most important part is the price, which you'll find varies quite a bit from store to store and on what scale you want them. If you're trying to figure out whether you should just go for licensed Star Wars merchandise or try collecting unlicensed pieces then it's recommended that you first watch some Star Wars movies so that you know what type of characters you want to collect and buy. You can pick up quite a few Star Wars miniatures as licensed ones from such unlikely sources, and you can also find some Star Wars figures that are not licensed on eBay or from garage sales.
After deciding on your main category it's time to start making a list of the miniatures you want. Make sure that you keep only pictures of the items you're looking for so that you don't confuse yourself later on. Make sure that you take some measurements of the table and the space where you will place them when you are making the list. If you're going to buy the miniatures from a dealer then make sure that you know the size of the table and how big the base of the collector will be and make sure that you ask the dealer if these things will be included in the collection or if you will need to buy them separately.
Now once you have all your miniatures listed it's time to think about the theme of your collection and what type of collection you want to make. If you have the Star Wars films memorabilia then there is no problem making Star Wars Legion miniatures if you have the films to go with them. You might want to collect only the original Star Wars films because they are great collecting material, and you'll probably want to have some Star Wars figures as well to go along with them. This way you can really personalize your collection and have your collection represent the characters and films you love.
Making your own Star Wars Legion miniatures can be great fun, and you can get really into building your collection. Make sure that you think carefully about what you're going to collect and make sure that it's something that is interesting and that you will enjoy looking at. Don't get into a collection that you'll just be able to throw away because you don't like it. Star Wars Legion miniatures can be great collectors' items and if you do decide to go this route make sure that you have a good selection so that you can always update your collection and add to it. Your Star Wars Legion miniatures should become an investment that you'll be able to enjoy for years to come!
