Don't preorder and just wait for general release? Or pre-order a week or so before general release?

I was monitoring the development of this game - a "starshooter" game with minatures from SW - so cool!
But the price destroyed my dreams...

Actually it isn't really all that bad $ wise. Especially if you get a discount through your local store. I split the cost of one of each ship and the starter with my Stepfather. for $30 I got myself quite a bit of fun. We've already played quite a few games and I'm already looking forward to getting all of the Imperial craft they come out with that.

Someone once told me this about Porsche Panameras:
"There are two Panamera's in my hood. Visual pepper spray. When Jesus was on the cross and cried out "Father, why have you forsaken me?" it wasn't because of the whole crucifixion, it was because he foresaw the design of the Porsche Panamera."
You learn something new everyday.

You get a lot of stuff for each ship you buy. Got an X-wing yesterday and it comes with the model, stand, cards, wheelie-thing and all the tokens you'd need for this model. $15 is a bargain for those models. €15 on the other hand..

Why are you paying 15 euro?
Threre are plenty online shops who sell 'em cheaper:

Free shipping? Shipping usually kills it. That and a long wait when stuff is out of stock.

Hmm, if I remember correctly I paid 3 euro for shipping from this place http://www.speelkoning.be, but i did have to wait an awful long time because I also ordered the extra dice...
(In hindsight it would have been way smarter just to buy an extra starter set.)

yeah,
I love getting a bit of news and rumor as much as the next man.
But knowing the entire rules content kinda takes the shine off opening the box for yourself... know what I mean?

Plus I think you can spoil rules! Once people start working out all the killer combos... Spoiler Alert!

Whatever.. I'm probably just grumpy I'm not getting my toys in December!
...Cancel Xmas...

wait...
I just found this Falcon on eBay. Good Job FFG!



$249.00

Im sure there is one out there. Someone who has $250 on them and a bad case of "gotta have it first" will grab it.


Myself...Id like to get in on these, but since Id only be buying them for display Im having trouble getting past the price. Oh well, maybe someday.

your right now we know the stats and card details finding a proxy is easy!

While browsing I found this.
not FFG but it's a neat how it changes Orientation, I hope FFG copies the idea.

Looking at those rules... is there anything keeping a player from taking the Chewbacca pilot card and the Chewbacca crew card on the same YT-1300?

The rules say that you can't have two unique cards with the same name.
The pilotcard and the upgrade card are both called Chewbacca, so...

It would be an awfully expensive model if all big options were taken. I'd also think there'd be a note that states that Chewie is either the pilot or the co-pilot, but not both.

yeah,
Just found FFGs web streaming Video from the World Championship Weekend.

Link to the World Championship Weekend X-wing final.
Set up starts at 1:53.20

There are a few X-wing games in there... This report has a cool feature.
Its a Imp/Imp battle so one player marks his ships using coloured elastic bands.
Cool Smart and Easy.
