Is this where I step off?

Hey all, I'll just state straight up; this isn't a whine or a rant. The game needed a revamp, and what they have planned sounds really interesting.

That said though....I'm concerned about the investment that will be required to keep up here. Five conversion kits, and that won't cover all my miniatures. The new expansions have new pilots, and are sure to have new upgrades, so I guess I'll need one of each of those.

So, is anyone else thinking, from a cost perspective, 'This is where I step off'?

Since in the interview, they said they were probably going to dial back the new OT era stuff (its just the nature of the new films coming out), and I never really bothered to gather up the FO stuff....

I'm actually pretty cheap with this whole thing. I need to buy the reaper, 2 gunboats and aggressors, but then I will have every imperial ship in the game.

I actually repainted all my FO stuff to be imperial, I guess I'll be stopping that, since I have no interest in buying FO stuff anymore... Maybe eventually.

So financially, it's fine. 50 bucks all together, all I lose is the ability to run swarms. Maybe I get some core sets on the cheap to round the collection out. I don't think there are any ships except the TIE/LN, which I need more dials and bases for.


What do I get for this? Pretty much everything I complained about in the last year and a half. I'd say that's a good deal. And unexpected. I'm happy.

how much do you spend on a wave of ships?

My hobby budget is stretched pretty bad too... Legion isn't cheap...

I get what I'm interested in, my last purchase was a Wookie, and that's all I got from that wave.

Legion, now there's a temptation :P

From a cost perspective yes this can be pricey. But I got off the X-Wing train sometime ago and haven't bought a single ship. Maybe there is where I get back on. My collection is geared toward Epic battles so it will take multiples of the conversion kits (per faction) got upgrade everything. But it is that or the ships are just decoration. I don't play it now.
