I'm going to dig in tonight, but just having them on hand, the Silencer looks awesome. The unexpected contender is that weird resistance bomber. I like the look of it, and I'm looking forward to seeing it on the table. The Sheathipede is kinda meh as a model. Small and not very interesting to look at. I am excited to try out the coordinate action and see how how list building around that might be fun. The Gunboat doesn't quite live up to all that hype, as Boromir said "It is a strange fate that we should suffer so much fear and doubt over so small a thing." Kimogla... it is ugly and dumb. I only bought it because I got a discount for purchasing the entire set. (Shout out to one of my FLGSs Huzzah Hobbies!)

So, are you going to get one of each? Have you gotten one of each? What's your stand out of the wave?

Just ordered one of each today. We get 1 each every time, and then more according to preference.

I'm so looking forward to put the new stressbug on the table. But honestly I still didn't catch up with all lists I wanted to fly for wave11, so I'm not in a hurry

Did anyone else notice the silencers paint job (or lack thereof)? Did they even prime it or just mold it in charcoal gray plastic and add some red paint to the window? The paint jobs on the ships have always impressed me, so the silencer is probably the least impressive ship in that respect.

• Picked up a bug. Trying to formulate a list for it now. I might have one, but I have some questions I'm trying to answer for myself first.
• I want to get a Gunboat... No idea what I'd do with it
• Kimogila is fascinating to me, even the shape of the model... I don't really enjoy flying scum though so... we'll see
• TIE Silencer... Yeah, I'll get one but not until after Christmas. Can't afford to gift myself that much this time of the year
• B/S17 bomber... Um. Likely pass.

I ordered 2 GUNBOATS, 1 Silencer, and 1 ShuttleBug.

Poe's T-70 suffered the same problem. Very dark paint schemes like these means that you don't get to see the details like you do with the lighter colour ships, as the wash (if there is one) doesn't stand out anywhere neat as much.

Poe's X-Wing at least had a bit of orange and grey detailing, but highlighting on both is pretty much non-existent.

Got 2 Gunboats, 3 ShuttleBugs, 1 Resistance Bomber, and I have a Kimogilla I've yet to pick up. Also ordered 2 extra y-wings today... My Flight Assist Astros are gonna have an interesting trip...

I ordered 1 of each.

Then, Asmodée Canada decided that shipping out to all the stores was too much work. My FLGS was told that the American Thanksgiving delayed them and they have no idea when they'll arrive. Meanwhile, stores in Manitoba (1,500 km farther from the warehouse) got their full shipments, and stores in the same city as the warehouse are missing out on Silencer/Bombers.

My FLGS is beyond pissed, since they have issues with all Asmodée products, not just X-wing. They once got a shipment of seemingly random games they didn't order.

I'm just glad I'm not going to the Rochester regional this weekend, that would be awkward timing!

All of the ships in this wave are amazingly cool.

Who knows what will happen to the meta but every single one of these ships offers something to be excited about.

The Kimogilia, Phantom II, and Resistance bomber models look awesome to its not just the gunboats and silencer.

Though 2x Gunboats with Kylo Silencer is badass in person.

I hope for your sake the that missing SKU doesn't come with 2 copies of the FAA. I could see them doing that like they did with the Heroes of the Resistance pack and integrated astromech.

Either way the damage is done, and I'm horribly in love with the ShuttleBug model anyway. Worst comes to worst, I have extra copies of Maul & Chopper to give out now.

True, a dark ship wont get the detail enhancements from the wash.

However, if you look at the preview article, the ship (or more likely, rendering) there has a gray trim on the ship.

I'm pretty excited for the TIE/VN and B/SF-17. They both look great, but the latter there just seems especially fun. It's a very, very star-warsy design and I love it to pieces.

It's worth a check to your store. They were shipped out to GTA stores as well.

Edit: Oh, you may have already....

My flgs contacted me today saying that the shipment was delayed. Best case is tomorrow worst case Monday.

Hope it is the best case, because I have lists to fly this weekend.

got mine! super stoked. 2 star wings, 1 m-12, 1 sheathipede, and 1 tie silencer. I'll pick up a bomber at a later date. One thing I noticed, that silencer can totally fit in the pack that the m-12 Kimogila came in. Just saying.

I need “yet another squad builder” to update so I can build my new squads.

Just went to my FLGS!!! I got my four GUNBOATS, two Resistance Bombers, Phantom II, and Silencer!!!

But I only got one Kimogila... somebody preordered most of my FLGS's stock. I had no idea that I would need to preorder those if I wanted three - they're not that good honestly! But I still want three!
