Re: Gurps minis
I've been using Lego minifigs for a while.

Re: Gurps minis
Generously? Six spaces are front, two flank, one back; I'm not quite sure what you imagine the problem to be. One of my players keeps putting his mini down backwards, so nobody is really fighting me on minutiae.

Re: Gurps minis
One thing this thread reminded me of is the one inch hexagonal hole punch I saw a Michaels. I need one. Combined with craft foam and textured paper it will become a terrain making tool of unimaginable power. BWAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHa

Re: Gurps minis
For vehicles, Matchbox and Hot Wheels can work pretty well, but I think Tonka may be the best for the price.
However, there are a bunch of caveats. The die-cast models are built to fit inside the blister packaging (or cardboard boxes), and the vehicles are cast according to that requirement. So, motorcycles tend to be a bit larger than they would be, if scaled properly, and big trucks and heavy equipment are sometimes so much smaller than they should be that you can't really use them. That said, cars, jeeps, SUVs and pickup trucks are darn near perfect, and Tonka die-cast vehicles are about as good as it gets without spending bunches of bucks on vehicles produced by gaming miniature companies.

Re: Gurps minis
I assume that the MegaBlocks figures are compatible with Legos?

Re: Gurps minis
Those Megabloks figs look pretty sweet! I'd never heard of them, thanks for posting. Way too expensive to amass an army (esp. one across tech levels) in a fell swoop, but sweet nonetheless.

Re: Gurps minis
Have been since '92 if not earlier. MegaBlocks figures vary a lot more in posability, detail, and size whereas Lego Minifigures have had only one or two general design changes since I started collecting.
