Worth buying 1E before 2E?

I noticed that the FAQ didn’t mention which upgrade cards are going to be included in the conversion kits. Is there anywhere  where someone was able to ask FFG directly about this?

As there will be upwards of 100 cards n the kits, I doubt they would speak to that just yet. It has only been 4 days. We have 4 months for them to tease things out.

It's tough for me too!

It just makes me anxious because of that possibility that people might be forced to buy even more ships for single upgrades or other new pilots. Yes, we had to do that a few times but having to potentially do it a second (or third) time is too much.

In general, as far as 1.0 edition goes, I don't think I'd spend more than 50% of MSRP for anything. So around $7.50 USD for small ships, $15 USD for large. So "clearing out the collection" prices seem like a decent purchase, if it's something you're into.

They have been very clear that they have an upgrade path planned so that current players will not have to rebuy ships to get new content. Do not worry.

So, I did it guys. I picked up his collection! I appreciate you all convincing me it was a good deal. It also ended up being quite a bit more stuff than he originally mentioned.. even an extra Millenium Falcon, not sure how he missed that.

Looking at 126 ships instead of the 89 he mentioned (maybe a couple extra, didn't look underneath all of them in the foam to check for extras) - and ended up paying $240 Canadian for it (under $190 USD or so). On top of that.. the guy threw in literally everything X-Wing related that he had. Threw in a game mat, Battlefoam (no bags, obviously), Laser points, Acrylic EVERYTHING, tons of extra cards (all sleeved) and half of the ships are magnetized.

I figured I'd take some pictures for all of you to admire! https://imgur.com/a/aTOcQMY

Again if anyone has suggestions on ships I MUST keep, let me know.

They have said they will release card packs for each wave, I would get a copy or 2 of those as they are released.

Wait what? Is this true? how have I missed this info? Lol

Wow! That's amazing, I feel like I'd just keep it all and laugh maniacally.

You basically stole all those ships!

Good for you man. Hey, umm you got a Decimator you can spare?

Just kidding.

No need to rush to sell off things. Take your time and enjoy your windfall.

They did an interview on Wednesday and it was stated in that.
