Hey all,

I took a 5 month break from IA and I'm wondering how many of each expansion pack I should get to be able to field flexible lists. I'm not current with the Meta and would love a point in the right direction. I don't mind overbuying as shipping kills me and is often 1/2 the value of a large order.

How many should I get of the following (their release is where I took a break):

0) Alliance Rangers

1) Jabba

2) BT-1 & 0-0-0

3) Jawa Scavenger

4) Hera Syndulla & C1-10P

5) Maul

6) Emperor Palpatine

7) Ahsoka Tano

8) Jabba's Realm Expansion

9) Heart of the Empire Expansion

Thanks!

2 Jabba's realm

1 Heart of the Empire

1 Ahsoka

1 Palpatine

1 Hera

1 Jawa

1 BT

1 Jabba

1 Rangers

1 Jedi Luke

1 Cpt Terro

Really the only thing that came out in the last 3 waves that you missed that wasn't just super crazy amazing was Maul.

I totally forgot about the dewback, Terro is really good.

I’ll agree with the rest, but i’d say grab a Maul also. There are good command cards if you want to try a list with any brawlers/melee figures. Specifically, Looking for a Fight and Death Blow.

You’ll never need multiples of any unique packs unless you’re into doing alternate painting or something. You could consider a second Jawa or maybe a second Ranger. I’d like to have a second copy of those packs just for casual list building flexibility, but aren’t necessary to be at the top.

People say you need two jabba boxes, but honestly there is enough flexibility in units that you really don't NEED it. I think I only ran one list that had double jet's, and while sure, they and weequays are really strong in pairs, there are still plenty of other options to go with.

Only reason to get 2 jabbas is for 2 eJets or 2 eWeequays. If you can borrow those cards you'd be set.

I would agree. Unless you don't know anybody in your community, there's no need to buy two sets in my opinion. Ask someone in your local IA gaming group (maybe they have a facebook page) to loan you what you need. You may make a new friend!

If you like Imperials, I think these would serve you well in the current meta:

Really, this game is so great you could play all three factions and be fun and competitive.
