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:
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.)

I'm not sure how great it is knowing everything about the Falcon 3 months early...
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

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.
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.
