I saw in today's article that the Rey starter comes with two copies of Rey's dice.

Do all other characters that can be elite only come with one die? Meaning I'd need to get two copies of those characters just so I can get the extra die if I want them to be elite?

Finn only comes with one in the starter.

A booster only comes with one die regardless of what the card that goes with that die is. So yes you need to hit 2 different copies of a character in a booster to be able to play that character elite.

Just like you'd need two copies of any upgrade, support, or event in order to play the maximum amount in any deck you'll need to get your hands on the second copy of any character to use their Elite version, save for Kylo and Rey.

This is pretty standard, and to be expected. Only having to collect two of a card is way better than the 4 typically required in other games.

Definitely. Especially if the 1 in 6 odds of obtaining a Legendary in the rare spot is accurate.

Does it make any sense to buy two of each starter?

If you want a full set with 2 of each card it does. If you are okay not having that, then 1 of each should be fine. However with only one of each, you will be missing the second Finn, Mind Probe and Force Throw.

The main problem I have with this is the 2nd copy of any unique character is almost useless. I guess you could create another deck with the other copy, but the 2 decks would still be "sharing" the dice if say both decks wanted to run the elite version. Seems like there will be a lot of cards floating around at low prices and dice will be the actual rare piece in this equation.

In order to sell the card you need a die otherwise the card is useless anyway. any card that has a die connected to it does not have value the die however does. If the card has no die then the card has a price. But what happened to trading 1 for 1

quite clear to me since they announced the game.

Nobody is going to be selling cards separate from the corresponding dice. There is next to no reason for anyone to buy such a thing and there is no incentive to sell in that fashion as it stricky ruins the trade/resale value.

This isn't accurate. The pair has value, not one or the other. You have to remember that people looking to purchase say a Han Solo may be buying their first copy of that character. You aren't going to see cards or dice sold separately except as scams.

You are correct, if by this you mean all the dang time. Every minute is born a sucker and a scammer.

Maybe that is just me being jaded at human nature, but especially in the early go of the game I am pretty confident a lot of folks are going to say, "Hey, this guy on ebay is selling the Millenium Falcon for $5 less than this guy. Great deal!" Only to find out that it lacks the dice and is useless.

As a trading card collector and since Topps isn't jumping back into their Galaxy Series anytime soon, the extra cards I get will go towards just an art/trading card collection. I don't see it as a huge loss.
