Is their any inherent rules in the game that require the use of legos at all? I mean other than the obvious coolness factor...?
It seems to me you could play this game with Matchbox cars and call it "Car Wars: all the fun of Mad Max without the SJG Bullshit"
Or little army guys and call it "Axis & Allies: the miniatures game with rules that don't suck ass"
Or your collection of action figures and call it "He-man vs. GI Joe: Last Man Standing".
Hell, I'm thinking of hitting up the Big-Old-Bins-of-Hero Clix-Nobody-Wants and buying up a couple of dozen cool figures and just playing with those.
I mean other than coming up with a set of conventions for what constitutes a 2 die long range weapon...you could pretty much play with anything right?
This makes SDL go "I've been thinking of playing it with Battletech minis"
This makes colin go "well, lego lets you rip stuff off when it's hit"
This makes NinJ go "It also lets you build something for what you need and have the piece represent what it's supposed to represent."
