Bought 2 of everything, but I may get another Starviper at some point.

I'm not sure what I would do with two much less three of them. Do tell!

Serissu - Elusiveness and Stealth Device
3x Black Sun Enforcers

Pleasantly surprised to find my stuff arrived today!

It's not a great list, but I thought it might be fun:

TRI VIPER

Prince Xizor (39) StarViper (31), Veteran Instincts, Virago, Autothrusters, Advanced Sensors, Inertial Dampeners
Guri (34) StarViper (30), Bodyguard, Autothrusters
Black Sun Enforcer (27) StarViper, Autothrusters

The Starviper has really good base numbers, I think, combing a TIE's 3 agility with an X-Wing's 3 attack. It's action bar builds like an arc dodger, with autothrusters somewhat mitigating the normal arc dodger weakness of turrets. Xizor gets to spread some of his damage around, with Guri's Bodyguard EPT increasing his (or the Enforcer's) agility to 4 for a focus (which she gets for free by being at Range 1 of an enemy).

I dunno. It's depending on base weapons to do damage (I have no cannons, torpedoes, missiles or anything else), but the Starviper has 3 attack to start with so...

Plus it would look pretty cool.

Bodyguard can not be used on targets with lesser or equal pilot skill to the pilot using the ability

Most lists do not use secondary weapons, with the exception of Heavy Laser Cannons

Can't argue with your last point

LGS got S&V in yesterday! Woot! Walked in and zipped the old plastic and lost some one's and zero's off my bank account.

I picked up the "Core" set, 2x Star Vipers (such an AMAZING looking ship) and just one IG-2000.

I'm still not convinced that a double IG-2000 list would be all that great. The ships themselves clock into the high 30's, and you really need the upgrades on them to make them shine- specifically, a turret. That S-Turn they have is pretty nifty and all, but... I dunno. I see a lot of fighters these days with PTL's (after playing a bit with them, I almost refuse to ever play without them). It's going to require some table time. For the Double IG list to work, it's going to be all about the upgrades.

That M3-A Interceptor... I'm gonna quote Luke Skywalker here: "What a piece of junk!". Sorry if I destroy the hopes and dreams of some players. I just don't see the value of this ship when you can get Z-95's. What am I missing about this thing that gives it any value to a S&V player?

Anyways, I'm really happy this expansion finally came out, and I wonder if the delay had anything at all to do with the nice, stylized font clearly printed on each box and blister pack- Disney.

Think the only good thing the Scyk brings is Serissu. Think FFG really messed up when they made the Heavy Scyk title cost points.

I ordered 2 of everything and 4 Scyks, might get another Star Viper for the fun of it.

Alas, no delivery yet, and flgs has it in :-P

Can't argue with that. I did the same.

Then did this. Because it just had to be done.

My store has it. Didn't pick it up yesterday, might do that tonight. They have multiple boxes of everything.

Hmm. Did you crack the wings and then re-glue them? Looks great, and I'll have to try that!

Got 2 Most Wanted with a third coming in the mail. I really don't see much else that interests me though.
I may pick up a StarViper and repaint it like a butterfly for my daughter though.

(EDIT) That Viper conversion does wonders for the model. Jobs a Gud Un

Yes. I lost a bit of the rim of each engine intake doing it but you can't really see it once the wings are re-glued.
Not sure how strong it'll be long term but I do like the way it turned out.

I picked up a few things. What is up with the huge waste of space in most wanted? That box is twice as tall as it needs to be.

It's packaging. /shrug

The size was way too big I agree. The other interesting thing on the packaging was the big 'Disney' logo next to the FFG logo. Makes me wonder how much involvement they will have in the game now...
