If I only had some K-Wings.....a lament.

By clanofwolves, in X-Wing

Can't believe I'm caving, but alas f I have to play and it's not for fun, I must go with the power squads; got to "get gud" when I play guys outside my crew. Seems everyone is running lists that have at least three of these: Regen, Biggs, Sabine, SLAM, TLTs.....many have all of them. Got to get some non-FAQ stuff. Anybody know where the K-Wings are?

Awaiting Reprint as of 11/24/2016.

Lots of good competitive options right now. Sure, Miranda is probably the single best ship in the Rebel faction at the moment, but Kanan/Biggs has done well, as has Jess + Juke A-wings, Rey and Norra remain beasts, etc.

In Scum, anything with Attanni is basically competitive. Triple J's are back. Thug Life is back.

In Imperial, Defenders and Palpatine have been downgraded from "completely overpowered, no skill required" to "slightly overpowered, some skill required". Triple Imperial ace lists are a good thing at the moment.

Have fun and fly casual!

Afaik a worldwide shortage of K-Wings. We found some by hunting down small stores that don't have competitive playgroups.

Try Barnes and Noble. That's where my 3 came from over the course of January.

Yeah this. There are some still around.

I have one at my FLGS. I'd be willing to buy and ship it to a needy player if I was a good person.

no-one who flies K-Wings is a good person.

That's just harsh. Calling an adult that plays with small, plastic spaceships, not a good person is just harsh.

I said my FLGS has it, not me.

That said, git gud.

I always check out the Barnes and noble and the smaller comic book shops that stock x wing if my regular flags doesn't have something. Usually I find what I want by calling round a little.

The TIE Aggressor is coming with a TLT. You won't be stuck to only 2 for long.

I have this rule of thumb where I buy one of each ship the day they come out so I am not in a bad place when the meta shifts. Past that Barns and Nobles is your best bet or buy, sell trade forums on facebook. I did trade my 2nd k-wing for a palp card which made me happy this weekend.

Also if you find them on another countries amazon site as long are your a prime member you get free shipping. Make sure the conversion rate is about the same as buying it within the states. (this is a little high for a ship but something like Euros to Dollars is about 1 euro to 1.05 dollar)

Triple J: 3 Jumpmaster 5000's, commonly 2 with torpedoes and 1 designed to bump opponents ships.

Thug Life: 4 Y-wings with Twin Laser Turret and Unhinged Astromech.

I have a small games store near me that has next to nothing in stock. the owner said he's ordered 4 ks from is suppler. I may pick up some to resell if he actually gets them

This is a 15% of one item coupon that's good through 12/2017 if you find one in a store use this code. It works with just about any single toy and when they do discounts it will still work with them. I was able to double up a discount and a coupon to get a raider for 47 after sales tax.

Looks like a cheap HoR is in my future.
