The $1000+ club... Have you spent more than you thought on X-Wing?

By DanDoulogos, in X-Wing

busted out the calculator. Yup I did go over the $1000 limit although I rounded everything to the nearest $ but didn't include tax so I'm sure the amount I exceeded $1000 is greater than the margin of error in my calculations. :o

If I didn't pick up the epic expansion packs I may be just below the $1000 limit however FFG also got its hands in my wallet in antoher way through Android Netrunner LCG. Speaking of Data and Destiny just came out and I finally got Opening moves. :huh:

So yup I gave FFG all my money and continue to do so. :(

Yeah but it is all so fun and cool.

I redid some math and turns out that I am actually getting close to FIVE Grand. I forgot how much I have also spent at Cool Stuff.

Was curious and looked back at my accounts histories.

:lol:

No, I haven't spent a thousand dollars. However, I just got the FA Core Set less than a month ago and I've now spent over $400... Like someone already said: best money I've ever spent.

93 dials and counting....

It felt wrong not to "like" this post. And it simultaneously felt so, so wrong to "like" it.

Yeah... in 15 months it's been about an $1100 tab.

Not to mention storage and acrylic templates etc...

Definitely there. Thought about this the other day.

Dude if I am $1100 or more in you have to be touching $1800. We need to play more epic.

Ugh. I just KNOW I am looking at 1k in the rearview mirror. Been in on this game since Feb 2013.

I'm in the $1300 range as far as miniature market calculates my sig ships to be.

I'm not really looking at this in terms of how much I've spent. Don't really care, at this point. As others stated above, my main motivation for buying in is to eventually be able to play with my kids, and teach them a fun hobby. It doesn't matter what you do for fun, the initial buy-in will cost you. I could be dropping the cash on booze, living up to my nick, but I'd rather do stuff with my friends sober anymore.

Done the math? No.

Likely over $1K? Yes.

Any more need be said? No.

Bought a 2nd collection today, which I will pick-up next weekend. Based on retail-value I think my collection would get close to the 1000 dollar mark (though I spent around 60%).

I'll sell a part of it again tho as I overspent myself a little and I have no need of a dozen Tie Fighters, 6-X-wings 5 E-Wing's, two Slave I/FalconVT-49 etc.
6 Tie Fighter's and roughly 3 of each small-based and 1 of each large-based ships will do.

I'm at about 650 USD, but I only collect scum and rebels otherwise I'd probably be there.....also no reason for anyone to feel guilty about going over a grand with their collections.....if your feeling guilty or your significant other gets mad at your spending, remember that everyone has their guilty pleasures,video game players, gearheads, pc moders, painters, whatever the hobby all spend tons of money on their specific hobby

Shoes.

Am I think only one that has a fair decent collection and does not play?

Yes I'm sure I'm in the club and over by a fair bit. I have 2 to 4 of every small ship and a couple even more (8 x TIE Fighters). I over bought because of the Aces coming out after I had what I wanted. I also have 1 each of Large and Huge and waiting eagerly for the Gonzatai. I do wish I could find some players in my area. I like that game well enough and the Star Wars universe. But I still like my collection so far.

No your not alone, I haven't been able to get a game in for about 8 months now, in fact the last packages I opened was Wave 4, I have bought every wave since, but have not had the time to even crack the packaging, sad really.

If I ran all generic lowest ps rebels w/ no upgrades except charadaan I'd bejust under 600pts. Get a Sunday off and you can borrow some imps and we can do 1000pt madness that will take 7hrs.

I also haven't played in months. I've purchased all the epic ships, and haven't had a single epic game either. Time and opportunity don't seem to be lining up lately.
