Wave 2 was fairly fresh, and Wave 3 was on the way.

The promise of The Moldy Crow at my hands got me into this game. Haven't ever looked back since.

Wave 5 for me, but it was actually seeing the wave 4 ships that got me interested in the game. I bought a core set, an e wing and a tie defender as my first purchases.

Wave 2

TFA core set. Now I'm hooked and I want all the A-Wings. Among other ships.

I've been in since August, and I got hooked hard! I now have at least one of each ship that is out and most of wave 8 on pre-order. Curse FFG and their plastic crack.

Wave 4/5 (just before the release of the Most Wanted for Scum).

Now have 1 of everything minimum.

Mistakes were made

Started playing in between wave 2 and 3, only had to wait a few months for wave 3. First purchase being the Core Set, a Y-wing, and an Interceptor.

Just after the Decimator and YT-2400 were released -- was that Wave 5?

Just before the local Kessel Run.

Wave three a dark time for the Empire as there was a shortage of tie interceptors fortunately not long after imp aces came out and balance was restored to the force.

November/December 2012 as wave 1 landed in the UK although I imported mine using store credit that I had with Cool Stuff.

Went straight into the Kessel Run tourneys during which I won a selection of what would be wave 2 and haven't stopped since!

Let's see, my first purchase in this game was a Core Set and Falcon so I guess that puts me into Wave 2. That was back in the days it seemed impossible to find anything.

Wave 2.

Right before the Scum invasion.

core set wave at product launch! it's amazing how much they have improved on an already amazing product. the core set x-wing looks ugly compared to the fit and finish of the TFA x-wing.

one week after wave 3 landed

TFA core set. Now I'm hooked and I want all the A-Wings. Among other ships.

You cute uttil baby you!

I started just after wave 3 launched. I had seen the game on Tabletop, fell in love instantly, and began planning out what I was going to buy, knowing that I wanted the Slave 1, the Falcon, and some B-Wings first and foremost.

Wave 6 for me... still catching up, but making progress... lol

Not only that, it seems like a lot longer, but I know I logged in within a day or so of buying my first core set and my account creation shows April 6, 2015.

Came in between the release of Wave 6 and the announcement of Wave 7 (so early 2015). Had some gift vouchers for my birthday for my FLGS and decided to take the plunge into a new system instead of spending more on 40K. Really glad I did. There is a great X-Wing group at the store, with regular events each week and monthly tournaments. I've gotten in more gaming since April 2015 then I had for years with 40K, so much so that I haven't touched the stuff since starting X-Wing and am now thinking of selling it all to fund my X-Wing habit.

Someone should chart this. My guess would be peaks around wave 1, wave 4, and wave 6

I joined during Wave 2, but it was Wave 3 that sold me. I had seen X-Wing at my local game store, but hadn't thought much of it. When I saw a catalog showing that the Moldy Crow was going to be added, I wanted to grab it just to display. While waiting for the wave to come out, though, I decided to look into the game and ended up buying it.

Wave 3, which was an exciting time for the game if you ask me. While the number of ships and options for them was much comparatively smaller than what is available now, the lists were still always dynamic, even if B-Wings were king for some time, which I enjoyed. ^^

Learned of the game summer 2014 seeing the Tantive on display. Kept an eye out but didnt commit to trying it until I saw online there was a decimator, then made the leap last December. So just after wave 5. Started with a core set, lambda, and hawk. Second, larger, purchase a week later included said decimator. Then I was off to B&N stores across the area hunting down ships out of stock online (never occurring to me that m:tg stores, as I knew and called them, might sell the ships -hadn't been inside a LGS in over 10 years.)

Wave 2, thanks to Doug Kinney who sent the core set and one of each expansion to Afghanistan.
