So did today's article cause anyone to hit the pre-order button?

By Bojanglez, in X-Wing

No.

I actually caved in and pre-ordered 24 hours earlier!

1 each: Ghost, Gozanti and Inquisitor's TIE.

I never pre order.

Its just not my style.

Same here. No need.

Nope. If I do end up buying something before Christmas, it's gonna be a third K-Wing.

Going to need 5 total FOs. Hmm...3 blisters or 1 more force awakens and a blister?

I've been thinking about this question a lot. I'm not convinced I need 5 FOs, but it's tempting to be able to run a First Order vs. Resistance game right after the movie.

For my part, I think Comm Relay and Juke will be good enough that I'd rather buy 3 blisters. I'm a bit underwhelmed by the TFA core's upgrades, and having two unique droids and a Proton Torpedo makes it less enticing. About the only thing I'd benefit from a second core (aside from more models) is the second copy of Wired.

My flgs had my list when Wave 8 was announced. Along with the Gozanti and TFA ships. Hopefully Thursday of next week.

I've got a couple of T-70's and a couple of TIE FO's on order, meaning I should hopefully have 4 and 6 of each respectively by the end of next week.

I WILL be re-enacting the battle we've seen in the trailer and can't wait. Back to simpler times. If just wish a thematic playmat was available too.

Well I don't want to give any spoilers to those on tight lockdown, so I'll just say one that matches the environment we see the new X-Wings & TIEs battling within in TFA trailers.

Those TIE/FOs are so underwhelming.

now that's a joke if I ever heard one

the new FO blow the new T-70 out of the water in terms of immediately appreciable competitive options. These named guys are cheap for what they bring to the table, and the Juke + Comms is a combo that has to be played to be truly appreciated (knocks out aggressors, it does!)

then there's that dial, which is simply drool-worthy. Now that it's possible to punch way above a tie's normal weight class (juke, Zeta Leader, Omega Leader), there's little reason not to take one out for a spin

Omega Leader especially, a 21 point ship with an ept (cheapest loadout being PTL for the cost of 2 Academies) that can single-handedly shut down

  • sensors
  • r7
  • elusiveness
  • focus (both ways)
  • re-rolls (both ways, all varieties)
  • c3po
  • evade tokens
  • thrusters

Literally everything but range bonus, and all he has to do is TL you. He is a ridiculous late game ship for a tiny investment
