Hi! I'm looking to play rebels but I'm not sure what to purchase. I'm not looking to buy a lot, I just have only imperial players here so I want something different. I have everything from the empire so I have lots of cards, and I know I want to get engine upgrade so I guess that's MF or another ship I think, but I don't have it. So any suggestions on a reasonable price to entry that is pretty competitive and will give me some of the cards I may be missing?
I want to play rebels...but what do I buy?
YT 1300 Expansion
1 B wing expansion
1 A wing expansion
2 Rebel Aces Expansions
1 E Wing Expansion
Lots of variability and with upgrade cards from your imperials you should be able to make many different squads.

That's a good list. The second Rebel Aces Expansion is the first thing I'd cut though if you are trying to keep costs down, followed by the E-Wing. I'd normally recommend the YT-2400 over the YT-1300 (I think it's more fun to fly) but you mentioned wanted Engine Upgrade.
Plus it's the friggin' Falcon!
Is it worth adding the K-Wing to that list, once it gets released? There are some nice upgrades in there, particularly the Twin Linked Laser Turret and 'Extra Munitions'.

If he's already an Imperial only player he'll probably get Extra Munitions from the Punisher. He can't use the TLTs on anything Imperial and unless he picks up HWKs or Y-Wings he'd only be able to use the TLT on the K-Wing.
B-wings are the most popular small Rebel ships right now, and for good reason. You can make 2-4 Bs the core of your list or have 1-2 as support to a big ship. A-wings are making a bit of a come back, but they need autothrusters, which only come with the Star Viper, to be competitive. The YT-1300 and YT-2400 are both great, and it depends on preference which you prefer, but both require a ton of ugrades. I'd lean 1300 as a first rebel big ship (engine makes so many other ships better). ANd of course, a couple Z-95s make great filler.
My recommended starter shopping list:
Millenium Falcon (x1)
B-Wing (x2 or x3)
Rebel Aces (x1)
Z-95 (x2)
And if you can, get one more A-wing and one Star Viper for the thrusters.
