Grizz Frix was a human pilot and member of the Rebellion. Born on oppressive Devaron, Frix was inspired by the writings of Mon Mothma to join the Alliance. On a fast track to become part of Rogue Squadron, Frix suffered an accident during training that prevented Alliance Command from selecting him. Frix became a supply escort, and a cynic.

LEGO Star Wars UCS Snowspeeder (75144)
Here is the next LEGO Star Wars UCS model. It seems to have a lot more details and 300 more pieces than its predecessor the Rebel Snowspeeder (10129). Also it comes with two exclusive minifigures supposedly Rebel Snowspeeder Pilot and Rebel Snowspeeder Gunner, although – and correct me if I’m wrong – judging by the helmet designs they are Zev Senesca (Rogue 2) and Nala Hetsime (Rogue 7), so two pilots and no gunner.
US $199.99, CA $229.99, DE 199.99€, UK £169.99
VIP early access from the 29th of April.

In a Galaxy Far Far Away…
After negotiating pre-registration for Nerdtacular 2013, and finally getting a tasty burger, Matt “The Favorite” and I sat down to play the X-Wing Miniatures Game. This is a rather well done skirmish or even large scale battle game set in the Star Wars universe, that uses some play mechanics I had experienced earlier with Crimson Skies, through WizKids.
