Yeah, this is funny, but, Minatures Market has the TIE Punisher on sale now that we all know the Scrugg doesn't help it gain ground on the K-Wing, hahaha.

Also, better, the TIE/FO is $9, The T-70 is $10, and the TIE/LN is $8.5. Looks like others were on sale and out of stock.
They'll never run out of Punishers though.....
Oh and the Starvipers were $9.5 and sold out as that fix looks like it will be fun and help the viper fly sweet and cheaper.
...and as a note on the Meta, the K-Wing has been out of stock for ages (like everywhere else) and the Jumpmaster followed suit a while back.

What do you mean the scurrg doesn't help it? I was excited to try Redline with Bomblet Generator and lightwave frame.
Or are you just saying that even with the new stuff it's still not as good as the K-Wing? That's true, but then, what other ship (other than the Jumpmaster) is?
E-wings clearence out of stock blew my mind. You weren't kidding about low overall stock. Looks like ffg needs to focus on restock instead of shoving new product out the door.

Yes, it makes them better, but it buffs the K-Wing the same amount; therefore the Punisher didn't close any distance on the K-Wing....it's a wash. And the Scum now have a Bombing platform that's much better than the Punisher, so in that instance, the Punisher lost ground on being even a top two choice of ships to consider if you want a squad to use bombs on. With these two facts in mind, it's clear the Punisher actually lost overall competitive ground against the other options rather than gaining any; that's all I'm saying.

Indeed. They have serious production issues. You are making a star wars product, and worried about having too much stock...
I'm not sure how "on sale" things were but someone mentioned the classic TIE Fighter and other stuff really being on sale a week or so ago. A lot of other stuff was about 20% off MSRP which seems to be about as cheap as it gets these days so I finally took the opportunity to update my collection.
Don't tell my competitive friends, but you can tell @heychadwick, I purchased 3 Punishers to complete our need not to proxy when running the Punisher Mission.....which despite playing the worst competitive ship, it's way fun!!

If someone has I haven't seen it but I can't belive a Frank Castle paint job hasn't graced one of these things. You have already won by moral victory fielding a masterpiece like that.
Edited by LordFajubiLets not forget that the Tie Bomber even exists. Such a crap ship. Was crap when it started, is now even more powercreeped crap.
The Punisher is just ridiculous looking to me, and not worth it anyway. But I get it for a lot of people it's a pretty sweet deal...that looks like it's over
TIE Bomber being crap, yeah, this is why I don't play with all the number crunched garbage out there. I'd rather have a TIE bomber from time to time, than whatever people are pushing these days
Just say no to store official events for me 
Anybody in OZ had any experience with MM shipping here? Pricey?

Look at their holiday sale each year. You want any disk wars 1.0? They still have it in stock. They learned what it's like to over estimate.
Also plenty of Star Wars merch ends up over produced and In the clearance bins.

Perhaps, but there is at least a middle ground here. They majorly underestimate what they will sell consistently. Perhaps they should try marginally increasing their production by some reasonable amount. Like 10% or so, and keep raising it if they keep selling out quickly like they do.
Sure, you can overestimate on some niche game that you have to do all the work selling your customers on. But on your main flagship game that is also a Star Wars game... You can afford to take risks on that IP.

I have ran a lambda/bomber/defender last at the last two mini events at my LGS. 4-2 with one loss being a final salvo that i lost. The other i misflew against a norra list.
On topic. Thats a good pricr for those. I still haven't bought an F/O expansion and i almost have to now.
