Most Wanted for the new Boba and all the goodies for the Ys, Zs, HWKs, and Firesprays.
Which Upcoming Release Are You Most Excited About?
Most Wanted for me. Although IG-2000 is a close second. I'm stoked for the scum faction.
Everything coming out though looks awesome. Honestly, it all looks great.
SO HAPPY! Really excited.
YT-2400 for myself I picked all the wave 5 stuff at Gencon and they are all pretty sweet.
New faction. Though I'm still plenty excited for Wave 5 as well!

My top 3, in descending order:
Decimator
StarViper
Most Wanted
The starviper will totally be a must buy for me followed by the most wanted pack so I can have some variations in my scum lists
You're going to miss out on a lot of game with that attitude.
Missing out on part of a game that I won't enjoy is hardly a big problem for me.
I have no interest in the S&V faction. I'm happy people who want it are getting it, but I won't be spending money on it myself.
From what I can see of the Most Wanted box, there isn't enough stuff that can be used by Reb's or Imp's to make it worth the cost to me.
This basically sums up my opinion. I just don't care about the new faction and have no intention of buying any of them. For me, the great thing about this game is that you can fly rebel and imperial ships. Those are the ships I want to fly.
Contrary to what another poster said though, I'm not actually a grinch and am genuinely excited about Rebel Aces, the YT-2400 and the Decimator. Been really looking forward to seeing the Outrider in the game as I played Shadows of the Empire and have the novel. Decimator was a bit meh until they revealed the cards for it, then it became a lot more interesting.
Ive been waiting for Rebel Aces for awhile to pick up extra bwings and awings so that's my top want at the moment. I have 2 on order.
I'm very interested in most wanted to check out the new faction as well as the cool paint jobs on the z's and ywing but i don't need 2 more z95's :T I've been reluctant to buy more than 1 or 2 of each small ship ever since imperial aces hit and i saw that 2 pack repaints were coming. First time i broke my rule and bought 3 up front and of course the next multi-ship pack has more z's in it. oh well i guess.
Yes.
Hmm...
Most Wanted (which means I may need to pick up a Firespray and a Y-Wing)
IG-2000 (unless it's not playable with only one copy)
Decimator for sure. Finally the proper command ship I have been waiting for. Plus I get to hang with Mara Jade.
I imagine it will go something like this...
I'm all fancied up in my Imperial Dress uniform, Mara Jade sitting on my lap, as I order my crew to move to ramming speed and we hurtle toward Luke Skywalker and R2-D2.
After Luke is space dust, Mara Jade gives me a full kiss on the lips before exclaiming: "He was such a whiny brat, thanks for saving me from that."
And I just smile and order a course set for our skyrise apartment on Coruscant.
And the galaxy lives happily ever after. The end.
By the way, no sexism intended up above. I'm all for our Imperial sisters having Soontir Fel sitting on their lap while they ram Wedge into oblivion.
Edited by DragonWhimsyThe topic says it all. Of the current upcoming line up for the X-Wing Miniatures Game, which one do you most want to get hold of?

• VT-49 Decimator
• Most Wanted

Up until last Friday, it was the YT-2400 for me, now it's all about the game changer that is Most Wanted.
ALL OF THEM!!!

Dash freaking Rendar.
The recent announcements have made me put on the brakes for items I was already planning on purchasing until I know more about wave 6. So, I'm about as far from excited about anything as I could possibly be right now. On the positive side, at least my wallet can breathe a sigh of relief, right?
Edited by WonderWAAAGHI think if anything a third faction will make the game MORE balanced because now they can slow down on the Imperial and Rebel releases. FFG isn't Wizkids, and I personally think they've more than earned the benefit of the doubt until proven otherwise given how great this game has been thus far.
That's pretty much where I stand too. I actually wouldn't mind the third faction ships, but I don't want them as part of a third faction.
I think the third faction makes sense for the tournament scene. But many players are couples, siblings, or friends that have bought into this game as a two player game. To get the upgrades they want, they have to buy ships they can't use.
FFG did something similar with the star wars lcg as well. I was invested in that game as a two player game, then they bring out balance of the force and turned it into a multiplayer game. Now when I buy force packs, I encounter cards that aren't useful in the two player game. The game is good enough that I continue anyway, but it's very aggravating to go into a game expecting one thing, and then have it changed after a sizable investment has been made. I also play the game of thrones lcg, and the 'melee' (>2 player) version of the game means I also encounter cards I can't use. I'm OK with it there, because I went into the game expecting that and decided the game was good enough anyway. (Awesome LCG btw).
I don't want to complain too loudly -- ultimately the 'old' game is still there and still fun, and I don't feel ripped off or anything like that. If FFG is reading these forums, I'd like to say that there are people who play like I do: by adopting a particular faction, and facing off against the same, particular opponent of an opposing faction. For those players (e.g. couples, siblings), the third faction presents a problem. I would suggest a very easy fix -- allow Rebels and Imperials to recruit from S&V, and play test that for balance. I don't even care if such a thing isn't tournament legal -- I, and arguably most players, don't play tournaments. If FFG doesn't do this, perhaps we can start a thread in this forum to try to figure out a balanced way of allowing it.
As it stands, I don't know what to do with this third faction. I don't see us abandoning our chosen factions and the investments we've made there. I believe the third faction is priced well and I could buy it if I wanted to, it's just that I don't know how to fit it in our game. Who plays the third faction?
You're going to miss out on a lot of game with that attitude.

Still voting for the VT-49 Decimator.
And I will love to plat a three way game.
Edited by 19Seven2Most Wanted for sure. Boba is finally getting the love he deserves.
Most Wanted, the name says it all
Wave 7 Pulsar Skate and Crusader class corvette!
I'd say this, by a long shot, VT 49, hands down, most wanted item. After that, all the third faction, with a minor foot note towards rebel aces ( As A's and B's are just what I have for rebels and as it shall remain ). The Empire will always be my fav, but, the third faction is also likeable to me. The Rebels, are just, with the smattering of ships I have for them, for seeing how the other half lives.
Edited by AngryAngelRebel aces already preodered, so most wanted next, so I can field 6 Scum ships (already have 1 of HWk Y-wing and Z). Scyk after that, love the idea of cheap cannon platform
Rebel Aces and Boba are at the top of my list.
Total tossup between the Aggressor and StarViper, I think FFG knocked the sculpts out of the park on them and I'm going to love being able to put them down on the table.
Most Wanted due to being able to instantly play as the new faction as well as pad the number of Z-95's my Rebel fleet can fly.
Then all the large ships basically are a tie for me...maybe the Decimator wins out so that the Imps can have a ram/turret. Maybe the Aggressor so that the Firespray doesn't get tug-of-war'ed between Imps and SV. I'm not all that excited about the YT-2400 but it's nonetheless respectable.
StarViper and Scyk...hngggghhhhhh...I want them...but the Scyk is almost certainly one of those where you have to pocket a bunch, which is off-putting, so StarViper leads there.
Rebel Aces I'm least excited for, because I've already become quite familiar with its contents.
