Due to the many comments about the prices I thought I would point out that Miniature Market sells FFG products at a 33.33% discount. The core is up for preorder here http://www.miniaturemarket.com/catalog/product/view/id/41822/s/ffgswi01/

The prices at Miniature Market will be or be around

Core $67.97

General Weiss $13.40

Rebel Troopers $10.02

Reble Saboteurs $8.68

Han $6.67

Chewbacca $6.67

Royal Guard Campion $6.67

IG-88 $6.67

They also have a points system and free shipping for orders $99 and over and they actually ship FFG products on time.

Are the Ally packs being released at the same time as the core set?

No, otherwise they would've been announced with the base game. Or, extremely shortly afterwards. I would say there it only a month or two wait, though.

Thanks!!!

So we might as well start speculating. Do you think the first large expansion will be the Battle of Hoth? Thats what I am betting on.

Since its been in five of the six Canonical movies and as iconic a planet as you can get in the Star War universe I fully expect Tatooine would be among the very first expansions.

Sandtroopers, Tusken Raiders, Jawas and Krayt Dragons, Oh My!
