Relief

By DariusAPB, in X-Wing

With the Canada postal strike looming. I was very happy to get a meeplemart package today.

A half dozen onclearence deathwatch books.

4X Imperial Veterans.

Now I have good TIE Defenders. HO HO HO HO HO .

Now to try and get my FLGS to actually play Xwing...

Excellent.

Like, if i didn't get it today I probably wouldn't get it till late august. Serious relief.

FOUR times Imperial Veterans..?

Like... two Defenders and two Bombers..?

Or...?

As in I can now fly 8 TIE Defenders in Epic, and I have nine TIE Bombers now.

The first step is admitting you have a problem.

Namely, that you can't possibly use all of your TIE/D and TIE/x7 titles in the same epic match. Figure out which ones you don't need, and I'll send you an address that you can mail them to. :D

I agree with PhantomFO that your first step is admitting that you have a problem....we're here to help. We do understand.

I kind of feel the "line in the sand" as far as plastic-crack goes is when you answer the following question with a "yes."

It is: "do I have more ships of any one type that outnumbers the named pilot cards?"

Soooooooooooooooooooo?

Pfft people without eight defenders have the problem not us...of course may as well make it a full squadron at this point.

Easily.

But multiples are for Generics.

It's been considered. But next up is another a-wing to custom paint Orange and yellow, and add a pinup decal.

After that Wave 9 / extra GR75s.

I can't see even me using a full 12 Defenders.

Well, naturally. 12 defenders is 336 points at a minimum, which is basically Team Epic supporting a Gozanti.

Had they just sold you 4x imp vets, your FLGS may have more enthusiasm towards hosting events.

And had they hosted events, I'd probably buy a lot more x-wing stuff from there. Since it's general etiquette to buy something while there. I don't magic, so i'm not there that often.

Funny how these doors swing both ways.

I feel like we have to adjust this completely unrealistic line. I would have to answer "yes" to more ships than not... I've been sitting here trying to come up with where we could put the line without me having already crossed into I have a problem territory, and I've got nothing so I suppose we might as well leave it where it is. I could stop if I wanted to; I just don't because I like the way plastic crack makes me feel.

If they don't know there is an interest based on purchases, how would they know? Yeah you could show up once in a blue moon and mention it, but you never play there, that doesn't help the case. While yes the door swings both way, it literally is labeled push, and you pulling requires much more effort.

I've easily spent at least $300 on x-wing stuff from that store in the past. I just no longer do bulk orders there. The word for this is simply pragmatism.
