My initial plan was to get two of each Wave 4 ship. 2 phantoms, 2 defenders, 2 E-wings and 2 Z-95s. However, even through the shop I get them from (which does all X-wing blisters at £10) that's £80. I've spent a hell of a lot on X-wing and I'm trying hard to moderate that. My first thought was to cut down to one of each ship, but that's somewhat limiting. Anyone got any thoughts about which ships I should go for singles of and which to keep as doubles?

I've been having a similar dilemma. I think that you definitely want two headhunters because there so cheap and I personally want two phantoms because how cool and unique they are. I think it's safe to get one defender and E Wing though because they really are pricey, and most of the time you will probably only use one. But you should also consider which upgrade cards you want and how many of each, the E Wing and Defender both have great upgrades.

Because they're so cheap, I'd think keeping 2 Z's would be the place to start. After that, if you want to keep ships balanced Empire/Rebellion, I'd say keep the second Defender. I see the Phantom as more of a lone ship than the Defender, which you might run in pairs. Otherwise, I'd keep a second E-Wing because it's probably my favorite ship of the wave.

I have pre-orderd 4 Z-95, 2 E-wing and 3 Tie-Defendrs and 3 Tie-Phantoms..

The backside of living in Sweden is that the shipping costs for this will be ~6-7 ships..

But on the other hand, If I ordered them here in Sweden it would be the same price as incl shipping from US. But another month in delivery time..

I can't picture too many lists with more than 1 Phantom or Defender due to their hideous costs. Now the Z95 is a different story, 3 rookie Xwings and 3 Headhunters is 99 points. Just throwing that out there...

Here is a poll on BGG I started.
