Thanks for all the responses everyone. Definitely need to unload some of these. I appreciate the advice. People in my local gaming group have already offered to buy these from me this week.

If you're planning on selling might be worth doing it piecemeal. It's not worth buying to sell piecemeal but you might get closer to breaking even. If you sell the whole set but opened and used you'd have to sell lower and would make a loss.

EDIT: Selling them to members of your gaming group as you said is actually a brilliant idea.

i am in the same boat as your are. I have a lot of ships, and I usually dont even get to play once a month. there is no gaming communitiy where I live and I have little time to play. You might consider waiting and seeing what happens with epic play. If armada kills it. (I'm hoping it wont) then you might hold onto what you have. I have about half of my collection still unopened, as I just have not needed to open them yet. Have 3 defenders for instance, 2 still in the packages. Way I see it, down the road, if they are still unopened, they may be worth something someday. But If i need them out of the hangar, I'm busting them out!

If epic takes off, and they release some imperial big ships, then you might use almost all of what you have. I have 5 core sets, 2 transports, 1 or 2 expansions, so I think I am right about where you are at with around 8 xwings, at least 4 of most of the rest, I have 2 boxes of aces but already had 4 interceptors, you are not alone.

Initial response to original post: "daaaaaaamn, this guy is crazy!". Second later: "Ok I more or less have that as well."

I say keep them all. Why? In a few years when your kids grow up they will want to play with them. Now you have spares for when something goes missing, breaks, or gets ruined.

Keep them. Keep your self happy so your kids will be happy when they will want to play with them.

Oh I admit I have spares

I try to keep/fly mainly 8-TIE Fighters and 4-X-Wings then others as support. So I've ended up with a couple of extras as I've thinned them out a bit. Not too many but a few.

Personally, my ultimate limit for my collection is the maximum number of each ship you could field in a 100-point game (though you'll note that HWK's are limited to 4 due to reliance on Turrets):

A-WING 6

B-WING 4

E-WING 3

HWK-290 4

X-WING 4

YT-1300 3

YT-2400 3

Y-WING 5

Z-95 H 8

FIRESPRAY 3

LAMBDA 4

TIE ADV 4

TIE BOMB 6

TIE DEF 3

TIE FIGHT 8

TIE INT 5

TIE PHAN 4
