Finally, a wave where I won't buy everything.

By zlynn22, in X-Wing

Wave 5 almost did it for me, but I bought 2 of each...

But now with Wave 8 my wallet rejoices! I have no interest whatsoever in this Rebels stuff. I'll probably buy the bounty hunter ships. Now, they haven't revealed the upgrades yet, and I'm sure there's something I'll want. But as a casual player I don't really NEED them, and it looks like there's some awesome stuff (like tractor beams) in the scum ships.

What say you? Anyone else share my "if it didn't exist when I discovered Star Wars, it doesn't exist" mentality?

I dont share the mentality, but I definitely feel like I'll safely be able to buy less in this wave.

Nope, they are all beautiful in my teary, indoctrinated little eyes.

I feel this way about wave 7

One of each for wave 7

After buying 3 scyke and 2 vipers which I rarely use I'll buy just one of each and go from there

I am going to run Chopper on everything I possibly can. He is up there with HK47 on the list of best droids. The ship will be interesting, as it's probably stupid-expensive when docked, can't take Determination (you will eat every crit) and has no evade dice.

Punishing One has Boba Fett as a crew member. SOLD

The Advanced Prototype looks like a lot of fun, at least for the Inquisitor.

As for the smaller Scum ship, why wouldn't I want a Cloaking Device for my Virago? Or Tractor Beams for my B-Wings, Defenders and Aggressors?

I kinda had this same mentality, so I see your point.

But I have two little boys (5 and 7 and the moment) and therefore I kind of grow up again, but this time with rebels and some old, weird stuff from a long forgotten past. ("Daddy, who is Han Solo?" Nope, they haven't watched the original trilogy yet, call me old-fashioned, but I don't think it's suitable for kids that young. And this way I can tell stories from a long time ago myself, hope they'll have a blast when finally watching the movies and recognizing all the stuff they already heard about).

And what can I say: Their enthusiasm is so catching, I've fallen in love with the ghost and its crew, even though I actively tried not to, but watching Rebels with them is... Just great!

So of course I'll buy all of wave 8. My boys won't forgive me not to do so.

*sigh* It's still a TIE. It's a sh*tty TIE, but a TIE nontheless. I'll have to get 2...

TAR PITS SUCK...

DITTO, EMBRACE THE NEW STAR WARS CAUSE IT IS GREAT.

:D

you know you don't have to even think about purchasing this thing until at least Wave 7 is actually widely available :P

you know you don't have to even think about purchasing this thing until at least Wave 7 is actually widely available :P

Already got dat siggy-sig-sig ready for WAVE 8!!!

:lol:

... had WAVE 7 ready for like... three months now.

:D

I've been trying to collect all but Wave 7 does nothing for me. I do like the Gozanti-class Cruiser though...

I've actually been thinking of getting the Raider and stopping there. Of course that means no more game time at the LGS since power creep ship balance may make my game play difficult.

I'll wait and see Other than the Raider and Gozanti nothing has impressed me. I like the card, XX-23 S-Thread Tracers, that's something that could work very well with ordnance.

I'm with you OP I'll only be picking up scum ships.

let me remind everyone that we still havn't seen the complete spoilers for Wave 8,

don't blame me if you see something that completely changes your mind :P

I know it could change mine. I'm not buying **** till I get my Ks and punisher

oh and to OP. Original Trilogy is Star Wars for me but I'm loving wave 7 and will be spending some serious cash on it. In fact I sold off my entire MTG collection to fund my new addiction.

Wave 8.... I know it's too early to tell but it hasn't grabbed me like wave 7 did.

I think the ghost looks great . Reminds me of shuttle from Alien. But better stats than a Decimator for less points....Hopefully its dial justifies that.

Just my initial thoughts.

If this was true for me, I could only buy things from Episode 4.

All you darn kids, get outta my franchise.

I'm a casual I don't need to physically own the cards to use em so I can say 100% I'm not buying the rebels stuff :)

Eh...you haven't seen 'Return of the Jedi', yet? Or...I'm confused, when did you discover Star Wars?

Because, seriously, the 'Rebels' TV series is EVERY. SINGLE. CAMPAIGN. that we played in the West End Games RPG back in the 80s. I mean, the Ghost crew are pretty much verbatim copies of the characters we played. From the ISB agents to the Inquisitors, it's...I mean, this series just is the old WEG RPGs.

Coming in Wave 9 :P

I wish.

I am actually excited for the ghost. The rules mean nothing to me. I just love rebels, when I first started playing this game the YT-2400 and Dash was really what caught my eyes, and then Boba fett. Dengar and IG-88 I care not for.

But ohh the Ghost and crew, I just love them. Will I get something from this wave? Not sure. I have seen this relase as a logic next step, as well as whatever new ships show up in Episode 7. So actually I have been waiting for the ghost, but nothing else, If the TIE seems cool I might grab it aswell :)

I'm with you OP I'll only be picking up scum ships.

I've just realised this will be two waves in a row that I'll only be picking up the Scum & Villany ships.

O_o

Forgive me FFG! I'm sorry! I'll make it up to you! I'll buy two Gozanti Cruisers! And an entire box of Assault Gunboats when you finally decide the time is right to unleash their glory on an unsuspecting universe, I swear!

Just curious. Are you saying you have 19 Z-95s?

Yeah... I know, I need 30 of 'em. but I have to plan things out and spend on a budget, like us all.

Nope, they haven't watched the original trilogy yet, call me old-fashioned, but I don't think it's suitable for kids that young.

Some of my earliest memories are of watching the original trilogy, so, as someone who grew up on Han shooting first, and who was truly shocked to learn at age 4--when Empire came out-- that Vader was Luke's father, I am afraid that I must respectfully disagree about the maturity required for the original trilogy. My wife, however, won't let our kids watch Episodes 2 and 3, particularly 3 due to its egregiously gratuitous violence when Anakin gets wasted by Obi-Wan.

I did kind of like the Ewoks when I saw them as a 6-year-old, but... that was when Lucas started down the path to the Dark Side that led inevitably to Darth Jar-Jar. Therefore, I wish that he had gone with Wookies for those scenes.

Far... far... far more interested in Wave 8 than Wave 7.

Yeah, Ghost!
