Third core set.

By moodydoody, in Star Wars: Armada

I am contemplating a third core set, has anyone else considered a third?

I don't play tournaments and I usually supply everything for my gaming group so we tend to go for large 2v2 or even more matches. I will be getting one of every expansion in wave one and two-three of the non core expansions when they are released.

Am I the only one this crazy or has anyone already got three? Any pics?

If only for the fighters. I ran out of ties to paint :(

But no i dont think its a good idea, unless your planning on getting four Victories/nebs/corvettes. Otherwise just stick with two and get one of everything from wave 1 XD

I can't possibly imagine why. Unless you're really intent on saving money while also loosing out on the potential upgrades for the individual ship expansions... I can't really see why you'd want that.

You don't really save money.

Victory 40

Neb 20

CR90 20

Squadrons 20

Total 100

Except if you can somehow sell the dice, damage cards, objectives and the like, i don't see how you would save any money. If i got two core sets (i said i wouldn't... but i am weak) it was because i wanted the double upgrades which may not appear on rebels until a few waves later and eventually i will want to have 3 of each reb ship, but going 1 core + expansions is the ideal way of collecting from a money standpoint.

I have six right now , but for me I like huge games, I have a small group as well and it works great, many more options than just one or two

Honestly wait soon you'll have the option to buy them individually patience young jedi!

I have two on the way (Norway, takes a while), and then my not-so-local game store turned out to have received their copies, and I have trouble with temptation...

Hoping to find a home for the third, but honestly, I love the miniatures rather a lot, so if I do end up with three, it's not a big deal.

Now to find someone to play with... Any of you lot in Bodoe, Norway? :/

I can't see much redeeming value in a third core set. The only thing really would be having a third Victory to play right now. However if you give it like another month all that extra stuff will be here, and they'll be better considering you'll have new pilots, new upgrades, etc.

If you are wealthy with extra money lying around sure, buy me another one too! :D

If you are like the other 98% of us and don't just have cash sitting there then no. Wait a few more weeks my friend.

By the way, most of us are crazy and have stared at a stack of them trying to figureout if Ramen is really that bad or if that box is big enough to sleep in.

I have two Core sets, but am holding out for Wave 1 to be released before buying any more ships.

Wave 1 will give you new Squadron ships and a new Star Destroyer type as well as the Rebel Assault Frigate.

For the money, and hopefully only 1 month to wait, you will have a much more flexible fleet.

I was thinking of buying a third core set. It would let me play with painting some of the bases, give me some extra fighters to practice painting with, give me another maneuvering tool to continue making shorter ones, and give me some extra dice. Not sure where I'll wind up falling on that. I think it might depend on how badly I end up not liking my bases after painting some of them and how much I mess up painting my fighters.

With Lurtz's tutorials, hopefully that last bit won't be an issue. :)

Its really the only good reason to get more core sets in my opinion Viz, is for the extra fighters. i already ran out of ties to paint!!! I needz more!

however 2 core sets was the most i could do, id say if you have the disposable income and you like the game/painting go for it.

I hope you post your stuff Viz! :)

Ramen rules! Just add some Spam, and your dietary needs will be well met.

I am definitely going to post my stuff. It'll be a while before I can get to painting them, since I have to gather supplies, and figure out a plan for squadron patches. So look for something near the end of the month.
