I finally have the beautiful Rebel Aces in hand. 3 boxes. It's time to celebrate. Break out the champagne! Begin flying the torpedo-turret and phantom-like A-wings!

What's that? Oh, you all forgot about Aces because Wave 5 was announced, blowing our minds with only having 2 ships and one of them being an Imperial turreted ship, and then Wave 6 also was announced, blowing our minds because it's a third faction (which y'all said would NEVER EVER EVER happen) and it's awesome? Oh, ok.

I'll go play with my aces by myself in a corner.

I pick up mine tonight.

I have to ask, though....why three? It's mostly unique pilots and all. I can maybe understand two, but three? Seems overkill.

I'm weirdly particular about my squad sizes. Imperials are always flying in groups of 2 or 4 for me, whereas Rebels are 3's. See my signature. This way I have 3 regular ships (A and B) and 3 repaints, as well as everything to potentially modify/upgrade all 6 B's and all 6 A's using the expansion's new upgrade. For example I can theoretically equip all my A-Wings with Proton Rockets. If I only bought 2 Aces expansions, I'd only have 4 proton rockets, but 5 A-wings. That math makes me irrationally uncomfortable.

Because, there will, there WILL... be a day... when I use ALL THE SHIPS against each other on a ping pong table.

bought mine in my local shop today. Didnt realise there were 3 Chardaan cards. Handy.

Yeah, I picked mine up last night.

Now I just need a chance to fly them.

Of course, I'm mostly an Empire player. (Vader with Proton Rockets?) But, maybe I can try them out so that I know what I'll be flying against in the future.

While I'm extremely happy there's three Chardaan cards I'd have been much happier if there was also three A-Wing Test Pilot cards. Two is fine, but I almost always at least fly Green Squadrons, and I wanted to do some more shenanigans with them and tons of upgrade cards.

Still, I am happy with my Aces pack, especially when I repaint the little A-Wing green. :3

I picked up one box on my lunch break today, and I'm strongly considering getting another because they look so good. It's hard for me to justify another box because I've already got two B's and 2 A's (now 3 of each), and there are enough of all the upgrades already...Argh. I know I need to go back to get more card sleeves, but will I get another box of aces? WHO KNOWS?!

I can't decide if I want one or two packs.

Having them proton rockets will be nice.

But I already have 4 B-wings, what will i ever do with 5-6 of them.......

X-WING EPIC?

Will get 2 packs when they arrive here in Sweden and there is 2 available. It's not uncommon that we don't receive complete orders, and therefore the stock runs out at the local retailers even if everyone just buys one pack.

I actually had one of my game stores run out and not fill my order, luckily i'm in good standing with three stores so another one had stock for me.

It needs to hurry up and get to the UK. Been on preorder for a while now. Curse the pond and its vastness ( shakes fist wildly, gets strange look from father )

You sound surprised, new releases tend to run out the day they hit the shelves here. The local store I go to never even bother to put them up on the shelves, they just leave them sorted on a table since they know they'll be gone before long.

My FLGS has them in stock, however they are charging $42 (AUD) for it, so i've pre-ordered from somewhere else that is only charging $29.99, they usually take a bit longer to get the stock in as they don't buy from the Australian distributor (which is how they can charge less then the distributor...which is the store charging $42) so i'll happily wait and spend my $12 on a couple of beers to pass the time.

I ended up grabbing 2 as well. Having 4 A-Wings and 3 B-Wings, getting two kits lets me cover every ship in my fleet and gives me extras of the cards that can go anywhere. Having four Proton Rockets is a plus after all

I got my copy on Tuesday, looking forward to destroying my friend's Farlander on Monday.

I pick up mine tonight.

I got 3 too...

Well, most decent reason i can come up with (and also the justification towards my wife) , i only bought 2 BWings and 2 AWings and wanted to have 5 of each!

My game store got 11 copies and ran out in like, two hours. Would have been even faster were I allowed to buy a second box, but I guess I have to be good for now and stick with just one.
