Rebel Aces

By tiefanatic, in X-Wing

Where's all the hype about it finally being out and everything?

I mean, everyone was freaking out because it was taking so long to get here, but now that it's here, no one seems all that excited.

I'll get excited when I finally get it in my hands.

not sure what you are talking about......

I see a front page full of new B and A wing build ideas.

lots of chatter about Keyan and Tycho....

As with many others on the forum, I still don't have mine yet.

I think we're either busy playing, painting, or the fact that we've known all the cards for so long that a lot of the surprise and suspense about using it has been partially nullified. We've known about Keyan, Jake, Chardaan Refit and A-Wing Test Pilot for a long, LONG time, and Gemmer and Nera, while interesting, are middle skill pilots with abilities that are completely situational, not that they are bad abilities, but they simply don't have the clout and sheer impressiveness that the other two seem to.

Give me a week. I'll rave about my experiences with it for next week's first league meeting and how much I adore Rebel Aces when I actually get around to using it. 'Kay? <3

There didn't seem to be an omg thread about it shipping, except a smallish one about Miniature Market. I picked mine up at my LGS yesterday (they only received one, I ordered two...). It might be a bit before I really try them in a game because my group is switching between games and it might be a while before we get back around to XWing again.

A friend of mine won the local tourney with Keyan and 2 other B wings yesterday. Nice shiny medal and everything.

I pre-ordered mine with the Monster Manual, so my order won't ship until it releases on the 30th.

I picked up 2 copies at a local store on Friday. They said they had only had them on the shelf for an hour. I've got a epic tournament coming up soon, and really just want to fly all 4 named B-wings with ~80 points of upgrades as my half of the 400 points. It will probably not do well, but I like B-wings (they were always my favorite ship even before this game existed).
