Star Wars Miniatures: Revenge of the Sith Expansion Facts

The new Revenge of the Sith expansion has 60 new figs to expand your game. There's Obi-Wan Kenobi and General Grievous for starters, plus more of the heroes and villains from the movie.

The set drops on April 2, 2005 but, with any luck, we'll have more info on it before then!
