Hmmm, I am not sure I like the rouges and villains expansion pack. I thought this game was about the large anonymous fleet battles, the unsung heroes and martyrs of the civil war that got next to no recognition. Not Han Solo and Boba Fett battling it out. This is the same reason I do not like to use Luke Skywalker or the other heroes, this is not a game about them, it is about the massive fleet battles that happen behind the scenes of the movies. It is about the anonymous admirals and captains that carried out their orders to what they needed to. I just don't think that the Millennium Falcon and Slave 1 will mesh well with the current fleet and games.

That is why I am not buying that pack.

Looking at Euro prices for core 130Eur at my flgs! it will probably be about 60Eur for ISD. The dollar is nearly 1:1 with Eur but we get screwed! Actually FFG get screwed because my FLGS hasnt sold a single copy!

People wont spend that much on a game. Now i know they can get it cheaper online or like i did get a relative in the UK to get it.

But i now am going to feel bad taking my copy in there and playing it. I will buy a corvette and neb B from them as the smaller ships are not so much different. An xwing ship is 20eur now.

I think 130 EUR is way over the top for the core set, is there any reasoning behind it? I mean it sells online at 79,90 at nearly every store, so what makes them charge an extra 60%?

nice finds! if my depth perception wasn't terrible I could draw a decent comparison (seriously the bases look roughly the same size to me)

the model looks about 133% bigger in the top photo?

...now I just need to have the actual physical model in my possession right now

No doubt.

And I want my Gladiators so bad its making me ulcerous.

I'm really taken with the aesthetic of the Gladiator.

They dont make any more the and distributor pays more from FFG, they blame the exchange rate. But yes its cheaper online but how can i go and play there when a. no one plays becuase its too expensive and b. I didnt buy it there.

Also in Germany they have thier own distributor so it retails for about 90eur. They are hoping Asmodee who are belgian (and own 1/2 ffg now) will distribute in NL and bring prices down.

Wow, coolstuffs postage is atrocious, over $100 to ship wave 2 to Australia. That's worse than Mini Market

It's like they're charging to cross an ocean or sumfink....
