SCUM Sucks Do They?

By Joe Boss Red Seven, in X-Wing

I had two Slave One Expansions saved in my MM cart, and stock showed 20+ at the time I added them.

I am smart and I am going to get ready early...

NOPE!

Cause I just checked and sure enough in three days they are OUT OF STOCK. I went to CS and they had 20+ this week too. Uh... NOPE again, they are now out of stock also.

:lol:

Gee... wonder why every good shop we use had plenty of Firespray-31 models on hand a few days ago, but now nobody has any?

“You will never find a more wretched hive of scum and villainy.”

Throughout the classic Star Wars trilogy, we catch several glimpses of the galaxy’s Scum and Villainy. We see them in Mos Eisley, gathered aboard the command deck of the Executor, and amassed at Jabba’s palace on Tatooine. They may do their best to remain outside the conflicts of the Galactic Civil War, but they form an integral part of the Star Wars universe, exerting profound influence over the lives of millions, including many of the Rebel Alliance’s greatest heroes.

Likewise, the galaxy’s Scum and Villainy will soon form an integral part of your X-Wing experiences, exerting a profound effect upon the game’s evolving metagame. How will TIE swarms fare against squads led by IG-88 and the Virago? How will X-wing and B-wing pilots used to the TIE’s limited firepower cope with Scum squads that equip the nimble Scyk with potent laser cannons? What will happen when the Black Sun outbids the Empire for the services of Boba Fett, the galaxy’s deadliest bounty hunter?

You’ll soon have the opportunity to explore these situations in your games of X-Wing. The Most Wanted, StarViper, M3-A Interceptor, and IG-2000 Expansion Packs are all scheduled to arrive at retailers in the fourth quarter of 2014. In the meantime, keep your eyes open for previews of these new Wave VI expansions and other X-Wing news!

Oh... yeah... THAT'S WHY!!!

:D

I already own 2 thankfully...though a third might now be an option!

A lot of ancient civilizations have pictures and artifacts that resemble modern day technology. Could it be coincidence, or... aliens?!?

Yeah I wanted to get two more with two more HWK's , next week.

Now I will have to wait. The new full resupply from FFG is due in Q3, so it is no big deal. I am going to get three Firespray-31's now, since I had to wait.

:lol:

Had two... Wife bought me another one for my birthday. WIN.

AGAIN? I'm had to delay buying my wave 4 because of the Falcon out of stock. Now the Firespray? This is infuriating.

I'm going to need to do some incinerations to work off all of this stress I've built up. Life is hard.

Yeah it is a bit buddie... I wanted to do some converted SCUM ships next month, like in a week or so...

GRRrrr!

:angry:

I am going to mess up the models I have now, and replace/add to them when the new stock arrives.

They dont count as converted unless you repaint them and trick them out though y'know. That illegal nitro, sunroof and hydraulics.

Take a 2 green maneuver and call me in the morning.

Sadly that's the problem with ffg they don't make their own stuff they have to order it from another party, and as x-wing grows it becomes hard to predict how much you need, they order too much they lose money they order too little they anger fans.

But bit by bit they are improving.

Why on earth would they buy up Firesprays all of a sudden for that reason? They're expensive pointswise and moreover people already have them. Buying extra Firesprays just gives you more Imperial stuff.

Good thing I already have two myself. And if I want a third I know a store that has one hidden waaaaayyy back on the shelf.

And NO I'm not telling you where it is! lol

I was lucky in that I only paid for one of my two. My friend got a huge lot of X-Wing that someone was selling on Ebay. He only plays Rebels so I got all the Imperial stuff... for free.

I kind of figured with S&V coming out that those ships would fly off the shelf. <pun intended>

Maybe a lot of people only had one, so they bought a second one to be able to field one for both the Empire and Scum and Villainy at the same time

I can't get past the fact that the Firespray's wings in Boba's new picture are still in landing position

I own three, one is painted like Kath's firespray. I don't see myself needing anymore unless I want to get another one painted up nice.

Because you don't get any Firespray models, stands or bases with the Most Wanted pack. You only get the pilot cards, maneuver dials and cardboard base cards. So if you want to run a couple Scum Firesprays but only owned one Firespray, you're probably buying a second Firespray now to get ready.

Besides, the Firespray also has a Heavy Laser Cannon and two Stealth Device cards. It's not like they're Imperial-Only, and I know a certain t-shaped ship that *loves* the HLC...

Yeah they sure did, I have been keeping an eye on it since the weekend.

Nice free stuff story too BTW.

You know you need that new blood fire paint job version!!!

:lol:

Slightly off-topic... I wonder if not only the Firespray but also HWK-290s, Y-Wings and Z-95s have been moving a little more quickly off the shelves at distributors and FLGS since the S&V announcement?

And I'm sorely tempted to get that 3rd Firespray...

I'd honestly like to have six. One for Boba's paint job, one for Krassis, one for Kath, and three painted like the PS 3 Bounty Hunter. Or perhaps two as typical BHs and one as the Andrastia (don't know how to spell it all I know is that it has an almost nude twilek on the side).

I can't get past the fact that the Firespray's wings in Boba's new picture are still in landing position

RIGHT???

It's the first thing I noticed and it drives me nuts every single time I see it.

And people are all, like, "OMG, did you see the new Boba art??"

And I'm all, like, "DID YOU???" :)
