New toys, what to get?

By Darkcloak, in X-Wing

I got a GC for $50 and a voucher for 1 Mist Hunter from my awesome friends at the shop.

So now I'm stumped as to what I should get! The wife wants Han, but I'm kinda leaning towards maybe grabbing some Scum to run with the Zuckuss, or maybe shoring up the rebel fleet and the imp fleet, or maybe just the rebs?

I dunno, choosing new toys is always the hardest when you want them all! Grr!

I suppose I should list my collections so people know what to suggest...

Imps.

2x Core Tie /Ln

2x Core Tie /Fo

2x Tie /In

1x Tie Bomber

1x Vader (Tie Advanced, lol)

Rebs.

1x Core T-70

1x Core X-Wing

1x Y-Wing

1x A-Wing

1x Hwk-290

1x YT-2400

Scum.

...No Scum yet... I have a free Mist Hunter whenever that gets here...

The sad thing is that I'll probably just whatever looks cool and is on the shelf, because let's face it... I'm gonna wind up with all of them eventually! But what to get right now? Hurrrr! Decisions!

Most wanted. Don't get the ones selling for 90-100£ though.

The answer is always more tie fighters.

Scum.

Most Wanted is your best best. That would give you 2 Y-Wings, a HWK, and 2 Z-95's. It should be back in stock soon so you can pick it up for MSRP, rather than the inflated prices you see out there some places.

You either need a lot of ships, or a few. Unfortunately, one of the few that would work really well with what you have is the Millenium Falcon. It has two engine upgrade cards. You still won't be able to make Han fat, but you can make Dash fly! Either of the Aces boxes are good, but the Imperial one gives you a bit more with [soontir Fel... oops, yeah, he's not in here] and Push the Limit (which also helps Dash). Both of those are on the pricey end, so you won't be able to get both for a $50 gift card. The first decisions are always so difficult to make. Not that it really ever goes away... later it becomes, "I've got to buy 3 _ship_'s for just the card?"

Most Wanted & K-Wing, that gives you some nice options to make competitive(!) reb/scum TLT builds

Or if Most Wanted is not available, the K-Wing is very nice on it's own + Falcon, or imp/reb aces

...Either of the Aces boxes are good, but the Imperial one gives you a bit more with Soontir Fel and Push the Limit (which also helps Dash)....

Soontir Fel is in the Interceptor expansion, not the Imperial Aces.

Soontir does, however, benefit greatly from the title included in the Aces pack.

Buy a Most Wanted box once they get more in for sure.

Game theory says to buy whatever your wife wants

This! You will get more buying power privileges in the future and it covers a multitude of sins... used judiciously of course...

I would go with your wife's choice. Ask yourself - How can you have Star Wars without the M.Falcon?

I'm going to go devil's advocate and say 3 K Wings.

Unless: She revokes all future power priviledges because she already has what she wants

Ohhh.... Yeah that's right! Can't let her have what she wants every time! Otherwise she'll just have it all!

...

Oh wait...

Anyways, lol I went a different route. Since part of the GC was actually payment for a painting commission that means, it's my loot to spend. I guess the Mist Hunter is an Xmas present, but the rest is all profitssss! Thus I have to spend it responsibly. Xmas presents! I got her v.1 of Battlepug, and a Zendikar booster, and some DnD dice. I got myself a z-95 becase I remembered there is a couple cards in there I want. Local Tie-Guy is getting a little big for his britches so I wanted to auto-hit him into next week.

I have decided on the Most Wanted pack though, that and the Falcon, those will be my next two purchases. Unless Dengar comes out first... I also need a few M3As, and a Slave 1, and a....

This sounds like the conversations Parakitor and I have all the time! The trick is being excited for what you have. (I struggle with this and find myself always wanting more.)

The struggle is real.
