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.
