Anyone else feeling ripped off after opening up the new wave 10, only to get a handful of cards that they already own.

Things have kind of gone full circle from people complaining that the upgrades they wanted didn't come in enough different ships.

First lets check "cards already owned"

Quad: hell none! All new cards.

Uwing: Flechette - ok useless, jammer - you have too much jammers? Stealth device - another card that is not so common. +10 new cards

Sabine Tie: Vi - never too much of those, plus its needed there. +5 new cards

Upsilon: Snapshot - cool not everyone wanna buy HoR, Ion Prjector - same principle, Imperial only players not too fond of buying Hound just for that. +11 new cards

Striker: none! All new!

So where are those reprint you are ripped off?

Complain just to complain without even checking what really is in the box...

No its just you whiner.

As an unusual player who collects one faction - Imperial - both the Striker and Upsilon have completely new cards for me. I resent have to buy anything outside my faction. I have a Starviper just for Autothrusters and Accuracy Corrector. They could have been put in later ships e.g. the TIE Punisher and TIE Adv Prototype saving me the indignity of buying a scum ship.

well for me who collect everything just one complain to much VI so i rather see in sabine's tie some new one or some that i got only one of

The most obvious example is Snap Shot; probably like a few other players, I now have 4. But I think it's a card for swarms of 2 attack dice ships. So if you use it, you'll probably need several. But then again, I'm a fan of the card, so I'm biased.

I actually think that the game needs more reprints. To make entry easier and to make epic cheaper.

Autothrusters, push the limit, engine upgrade, crack shot. These are the staples that should be reprinted every wave.

Crackshot. Crackshot dang it! I don't buy scum so unless I buy four copies or more of Imperial Vets I'm stuck!

yeah, not caring about getting some duplication provided the rest of the card fan is new and useful. Still want autothrusters in another ship.

i'll complain when we get a ship that doesnt give us anything new.

Yet to get a ship like that. Every expansion is going to have at LEAST 1 card thats a reprint, whether its actually valuable (Snapshot) or so redundant everyone already has a ton of them (VI). Pfft i have to have VI stored in 2 slots of my card folders because im afraid i'll rip the slot if i try to add any more in it lol

I really want another source of Intimidation. I don't want to have to keep buying decimators.

Also, the Quadjumper has Thermal Detonators. Technically a reprint, but the only other source is a single copy with the VCX. I'd much rather have it in a blister pack.

Ah i missed it somehow. But like you said - another uncommon card.

You know, there's too many shield tokens. Why so many shield tokens? When I buy my Starvipers I want my AT, not shield tokens! What are my squints gonna do with those?

and what is this big triangle thing in my TIE Advanced box set? And why is it 100 bucks? Palpatine, you can't even fit in the TIE Ad, why are you packaged with it? Get on the shuttle where you belong.

2 more Integrated Astromech? Please, no one flies X-wings. Come here Rey baby, show me what you can do...

(btw, for anyone being triggered, this is sarcasm)

I like that they reprint older cards, especially because it makes life easier for newer players or players that stick to one faction. I dont think they need to reprint certain "staples" every cycle but there are defintely cards that should see reprint, Autothrusters and PTL being at the top of my list. I just hope they dont reprint predator because I already have like 10 copies of that one.

I'm also an Imperial only player, and have two friends each with their own factions. We stick to playing cards that only come with our ships so I'm missing autothrusters and engine upgrade, which I'm always wishing I had. Can't think of many cards I have that are useful that they don't already get ignoring the Imperial only ones. Oh well, I still win more than I lose....

As a new player on a budget, I love reprints. It's quite the juggling act to try and figure out which ships to buy to have the cards to load them out properly without too much excess plastic!

By the way, those who are swimming in upgrade cards, if you've never done so, you should look at eBay prices for some of them. You could probably buy yourselves quite a few extra ships with them! (I'm thinking especially of those Veteran's Instincts Vineheart01 said he had a dozen of.)

No not really, It helps new players get in and allows them to mono-faction for a bit without getting stomped by other players who have the whole set.

Now sure for the most parts the reprints aren't doubled up as much nor should they be. After all older players who might enjoy another VI but don't need two more because they already got two from previous expansions. Again though each expansion is more or less self contained, you can equip any of the upgrade cards to the model in that expansion only needing a core set. So I think the product set up works fine.

Cards in short supply include:

Autothrusters.

Integrated Astromech (I need another 5 for epic. ..and 2 more Royal Guard titles and pilot cards to field 8 of them).

Juke and Comm Relay.

Attanni Mindlink - 3 are needed!

Crackshot.

Any others?

This might be a YMMV, but other cards I've found difficult to figure out how to obtain without buying a zillion ships are Veteran's Instincts (ironically), Adaptability, Advanced Sensors, Engine Upgrade, Fire Control System, Twin Ion Engine Mk. II, and any upgrade found in an Epic expansion. Some of these do have multiple printings, but they're often found in ships that require additional upgrades from further ships, and so on, so that they're not very affordable anyway.

Nope. I have every ship (multiples, mostly) and so there were a bunch of duplicates of cards I already have but hey, you know what? Not everyone buying one of Wave 1`0 has the same collection so, as this thread has proven, multiple people have gotten use from what's included.

As others have also pointed out, there are cards that need to be reprinted and put in more ships (Autothrusters, I'm looking right AT you) but no, as others have said, you're the problem here

Lightweight Frame, Wired, Comm Relay, R2 Astromech...

Guidance Chimps is also problematic for Rebel players.

No, because I haven't bought any Wave 10 ships.

(Barring the U-Wing, as that's one sexy if useless beast).

Here I thought people bought ships for the miniatures included and the pilots that fly them. NOT for the upgrade cards which it seems so many want to say "oh, you can just use proxies of any cards you don't have as people will hardly ever mind." As far as I'm concerned FFG could take those cards you all love to proxy and put them in the next expansion they'd make any sense in at all.

No. I've been too scared to go to my FLGS after the Bowling Green Massacre and other untruths.
