3866 Battle of Hoth: board game or collector?

While the board games released by LEGO usually go almost unnoticed by AFOLs, it is one that many are eagerly awaiting. My little finger tells me that it's not necessarily to spend long hours around frenzied games, but rather to get my hands on the series of microfigs than the game 3866 Battle of Hoth will contain.

I'm not a fan of these games offered by LEGO even if they have the merit of allowing quick games with relatively simple rules. This set 3866 Battle of Hoth I'm obviously interested in the ten or so miniatures provided, and I think we should see many mini / micro scale MOCs featuring these characters when the game is released, scheduled for February.

So a question torments me: Are you going to buy this game? if so, will you buy it to play with or just get the microfigs? I think I know the answer but I only ask to be surprised by your comments ...
