I'm starting to get back into X-Wing as well (my poor wallet!) and there's a store that has their big summer sale with everything 40% off.

Depending on the prices, I may pick up a bunch of stuff. However I want to do it all in one shot so I'm trying to figure out what exactly I should get.

Here is what I have so far:
Core set x2
Y-Wing x2
Tie Advanced x1
B-Wing x1
Millenium Falcon x1
Lambda Shuttle x1

I was thinking of picking up at least one A-Wing and Tie Interceptor. My reasoning is because if I can get my hands on a couple of copies of Imperial Aces/Rebel Aces (when it comes out), that should give me a decent number of fighters. However, if I only have one B-Wing, A-Wing, and Tie Interceptor, will I have enough cards or tiles that are unique to them? Or should I pick up two of each?

I am also thinking of picking up one Slave I, one HWK, and two Tie Bombers (or three?).
If the wave 4 stuff are on sale, I'll probably pick up one of each as well. Maybe two Z-95s. Also, maybe another Core Set if I can get it for a really good price; this isn't high on my list though.

Would this be enough to give me a good range of fighters and cards? Any other expansion packs that I should get more of?

Thanks!

It would certainly give you a great base range. Worth considering an x wing blister and tie fighter blister - the pilot cards that come in the expansions are some of the best in the game.

To get a solid range of options, I usually advise two of each small expansion, one of each large (though I'm going for two of each aces box). One hwk and advanced is probably plenty though.

I forgot to add the X-Wing and Tie Fighter expansions to my list. I knew I was forgetting something.

For Tie Bombers though, do you find that they tend to get used in large groups? I noticed that whenever I see Tie Bombers, I usually see something like 3-4 of them get used. Not sure if I should pick up more of them then.

Thanks for the advice!

I only have two, but I run them with a firespray which also has bombing options, and a bare bones interceptor for messing with people.

Could I convince you to add that squadron to this thread?
