Who's excited to get your new ships?

By Celestial Lizards, in X-Wing

When you get the last expansions of 1.0, what lists are you going to use first?

Mine is this one:

Captain Feroph (24)
Opportunist (4)
ISB Slicer (2)
Lightweight Frame (2)
Advanced Ailerons (0)

Major Vermeil (26)
Opportunist (4)
ISB Slicer (2)
Lightweight Frame (2)
Advanced Ailerons (0)

Major Vynder (26)
Determination (1)
Linked Battery (2)
Jamming Beam (1)
Advanced SLAM (2)
XG-1 Assault Configuration (1)

Total: 99

Gonna do something with two U's and two X's.

Have never flown my first U yet, now that I will have 2 I guess I probably should.

I dreamt of the glory of 4 U-wings... Never in the wildest dreams did I ever think 5 possible...

I will be flying a Reaper and some Strikers all weekend long.

I have no idea. A reaper and something. maybe Starwings, maybe defenders. Strikers would be fun and thematic. I'm just happy I can go shopping tomorrow. :-)

I am surprisingly not that excited about getting the U-Wing and Reaper, and much, much more excited about 2.0.

Been driving myself crazy making lists and coming up with new combinations every minute. At this point I am gonna assign each list a number amd roll a die to decide which list to fly.

My excitement has also been undermined by 2.0, but I receive my ships today! I’m excited to see how a U-wing looks on a medium base, and how gorgeous that reaper is in person. I want to feel the moving S-fools and take in the glory of that gorgeous red and white paint scheme. I want to see how the 2e cards and dials look in person. And I can’t wait to swarm X-Wings.

MeMeMeMeMeMeMeMe!!!!

This week has dragged.... can’t wait to play with the new toys and mess about with the medium bases, admiring how awesome things like the TIE Punisher will look on them! Roll on Thursday!!

Think of this release as Wave 0 of 2nd edition. At the very least you can start to fiddle in 2.0 because you'll actually have some 2.0 content in your hot little hands.

Aren't they black and white?

It’s a joke: In the original announcement (and several follow-up publications), FFG called it a “Striking Red and White paint scheme.”

AHHHH MY SHIPS HAVE ARRIVED! But I'm still at work!?

I won’t be looking at the 1.0 content much. No need to clutter my mind with non-2.0 cards.

How? Did you pre-order through FFG?

@Celestial Lizards, trade out Feroph for Major Rhymer with Advanced Homing Missiles and Snap Shot so you have all three Majors in your list! :)

Yes, either the day it was announced or the day after. I've been waiting for over four months. The next three hours are going to be sheer torture knowing they're sitting by my front door waiting for me.

Gunboats for DAYS.

Ion tokens and Proton Torpedoes for everyone.

Picking them up tonight at play to midnight.

Cool, good for you. I preorder stuff through MM and other stores like that, so I got another week or so to wait.

Not so bad now, but it's going to kill me waiting for my gigantic 2.0 package.

You should just suddenly come down with something and have to go home early.

Not gonna lie, I've been thinking seriously about it. If I weren't leaving for vacation tomorrow I'd be thinking more seriously about it.
