Okay, this many sound really silly, but are the models for the Nebulon-B Frigates from the Base Set and the separate Expansion pack exactly the same? My nephew wrecked the copy I had from the Base set, and I'm hoping I can just pick up an expansion pack to replace it, rather than buy a new base set. Thanks in advance

The Ship itself is identical.

However, the Expansion has additional Upgrade Cards to the one in the Core Set. Including two Unique Titles that most Neb-B uses really, really want.

Then as well, 2 Cards, Intel Officer and XI7 Turbolasers, that a lot of non-Neb-users want as well.

Thanks for the info! I really have to get that first wave of expansions to catch up.....even though it sounds like the second wave is on its way. I know what's on my holiday wish list....

There's apparently a slight variation in the paint jobs as well, with the expansion version looking better being the consensus I've heard, but my eyes are so bad that I didn't notice a difference in it.

Its more an age thing. The second Core set I got (and then onsold) looked better than the first Core Set one, which I bought almost immediately at release.

So I think its more a Random or an Age thing, rather than intention.

yeah my wave one looked terrible

Most of the ones I have want to angle to the right slightly while in the stand. I think this is the result of a minor flaw of the peg, in the manufacturing process, as this is the only ship with this issue. All my CR90s are fine, and I have swapped out bases just to be sure.

There just trying out a few manouvres that a certain smuggler may have taught them

The up side to this is you have bits for some cool wreckage markers.

Email fantasy flight, they have a reputation for replacing things that you would never expect them to.

I kind of like it. It gives them this small illusion of turning.

Thanks! I didn't even consider either of these options. Local shop is having a sale on Armada (and other SW games) for Small Business Saturday, so I think I'm going to pick one up and use the other for wreckage markers.

I had noticed this, but didn't realize it was just my NebB. I figured it was more a "all ships" issue. I guess the slight turn is just more of the reason the Frigate has so much trouble not showing its sides to the enemy.
