After seeing some threads from new players asking for purchase suggestions for starting collections or building out factions, I thought, "We should make a list of builds/build "cores" with pricing so players can make better purchase decisions," but partway through pricing the first list, I decided it would be far more efficient to let a computer do it.

Han Shopped First is the result:

1. Use your favorite (XWS-compatible) squadron builder to make a list and export it to XWS.

2. Paste XWS in the box and click "Import."

3. Your list will show up here with pricing. If you already have parts of the list, you can deselect them at this point.

Sample output:

This? This is genius .

And helps draw just how gosh-darn-expensive Tactician Bs and Soontir Fel really are.

very cool thing. I own everything but it would be really good for a very tournament oriented player that owns little to nothing.

A Bit buggy, played around with it some, for some of my lists its showing all the components ok, but not adding them up

for reference copy/paste this list

{"description":"","faction":"imperial","name":"Unnamed Squadron","pilots":[{"name":"omicrongrouppilot","points":29,"ship":"lambdaclassshuttle","upgrades":{"crew":["emperorpalpatine"]}},{"name":"soontirfel","points":35,"ship":"tieinterceptor","upgrades":{"ept":["pushthelimit"],"mod":["stealthdevice","autothrusters"],"title":["royalguardtie"]}},{"name":"darthvader","points":36,"ship":"tieadvanced","upgrades":{"ept":["lonewolf"],"system":["advtargetingcomputer"],"mod":["engineupgrade"],"title":["tiex1"]}}],"points":100,"vendor":{"yasb":{"builder":"(Yet Another) X-Wing Miniatures Squad Builder","builder_url":" http://geordanr.github.io/xwing/","link":"http://geordanr.github.io/xwing/?f=Galactic%20Empire&d=v3!s!56:-1,-1,132,-1:-1:-1:;28:18:5:1:M.15;22:98,-1:23:3:U.124"}},"version":"0.3.0"}

The last bit isn't valid JSON due to how the forum software shortens URLs.

Fixing that makes it work for me.

copy and paste from there, anyway it doesnt add up everything

Thanks! That's an XWS canonicalization issue; I put in a workaround. I just tested it, it should work now.

Dude. I've always wondered if something like this did/should/could exist. This is awesome. Bravo.

Not to be too much of a Sconic Lorite here or anything, but http://x-wing.fabpsb.net/ has had this for ages (make a list, try the math button).

Yeah, but that doesn't have a cool name.

Love it!

For those who use my builder, you can easily get the XWS version of your squadron either by loading it and clicking the export button or using the Squadron Browser ( http://xwing-builder.co.uk/browse )

Yowzer, that's awesome!

...assuming you have the willpower not to just buy one of everything...

I really like this.. Could i suggest a GBP button for us Brits?

How about an "alternate currency button" where you type in the actual exchange rate, thus making it useful for lots of currencies?

UK has an RRP.

Listed here for example.. We pay lots for X-wing so i don't think it would be comparable to do a currency conversion

That's some Bad. Ass. Work.

The only thing that's wrong is it's one more way for me to be aware of just how much I've spent on this bloody game.

Awesome, I added this to the Index of Useful links!

Selectable currency ($, £) is now live , but since I haven't managed to find an official £ pricelist, I had to extrapolate from online retailers - prices may not be correct. If you find an error, please let me know. Even better, if anyone manages to assemble a complete pricelist, please pm it to me.

On a similar note, anyone have a € suggested retail price list handy?

That would be very hard, I think prices in the Netherlands differ from those in Germany, France, Spain, Norway?

So I think the real question is, what's the most expensive legal 100pt squad? Vader/Soontir/Palp is going to be up there for sure.

This has to be a contender, good luck winning any games though..

Omicron Group Pilot (21)
Targeting Coordinator (4)
Moff Jerjerrod (2)
Stygium Particle Accelerator (2)

Soontir Fel (27)
Draw Their Fire (1)
Stealth Device (3)
Autothrusters (2)
Royal Guard TIE (0)

Darth Vader (29)
Crack Shot (1)
Ion Pulse Missiles (3)

Total: 99

$429.35!

Really goes to show the biggest expense is the cards.

Just noticed the update, however selecting £ from the dropdown doesn't change the results for me they still show in $

Really! You can buy just one? I never knew...

Ah, that makes unfortunate sense.

So I think the real question is, what's the most expensive legal 100pt squad?

It might be this:

I changed the event from onClick to onChange, let me know if that works (it should convert if you click a pulldown selection or if you arrowkey to it and hit enter).

This is awesome. Thanks.

Kind of lays the "Cheap Game" ghost to bed if you do choose to buy all of the expansions though.

Cheers

Baaa

Edit: Just noticed that it was you who did echolocation as well. Thanks for that too; it's most bodacious.

I was about to ask the same question. Not sure I can beat that, though.
