So I've been reading posts on the forum for about a year now, but this is my first post on here so apologies up front if this is in the wrong part of the forum.

My question is whether or not I should buy a third copy of imperial vets or if it's worth it to buy the defender and tie bomber separately as well? I have two ocopies of imperial vets but am OCD about having 3 of each ship and am having trouble deciding if it's worth buying the individual expansion for those two ships. Thanks for the help!

By the way, my wallet is not loving my need for three of each type lol

For the defender absolutely. You’d be amazed what the PS1’s can do with an X-7 Title to act as blockers and unhappy targets for your opponents to bring down. You also get Colonel Vessery, one of the most popular pilots to use for the defenders.

Bombers again get your basic scimitar squad pilot at PS2 which can act as a cheap shuttle. The Aces are not game breaking but do have some interesting abilities for casual games.

I second the individual defender. I happen to like the regular Bomber pilots in that expansion, so I am a little bit biased in my recommendation of picking up that expansion as well. I think you will get more mileage out of 2x Imperial Vets + 1 Defender + 1 Bomber than you will out of 3x Imperial Veterans, and at about the same cost. As it stands now, you can fully equip 4 defenders or bombers any way you desire, but you have only 2.

Thanks for the responses, I'll plan on getting the individual expansions for both ships. As always, the x wing community seems to be very helpful. Thanks to both of you!

As others said - Get the individual ships. You'll appreciate having the extra choice of pilots that you wouldn't get with a 3rd Imp Aces set. If it comes to down to money, get the TIE Defender first.

I'd say get both the veterans pack and the Defender blister pack. The Bomber blister can wait

Another vote for the Defender blister. Vessery really is worth his weight, especially with the support of a TIE Shuttle and another TIE/D.
