Vader, Soontir, Lambda, TIE/LNs, Boba, Luke (and T-65 pilots), YV-666 pilots and the lovely Decimator and its commanders are my only must haves. I really don't feel the 2.0 pull as of yet.... guess I'm still enjoying 1.0 too much? IDK....

Moralo Eval looks like fun; may run Bossk out of my second fav Scum ship....

Ew, I just found the conversion kit contents. Not thrilled. I own 6 T-70s, and 1 Millennium Falcon for Resistance, and 6 TIE/fo's, 2 TIE/sf's and an Upsilon for First Order. Looks like the kit is going to be overkill for First Order, and somehow not quite enough for Resistance. I still have time to make my decision, but I love the sequel trilogy movies so much, I can't see myself skipping out on these Conversion Kits. I was waiting to pick up the TIE silencer when it is sized properly in 2.0, but maybe I can buy at least a TIE silencer and Resistance Bomber to get more use out of the kits.

So buying another resistance bomber, dropping all the 1.0 content it comes with... To use your 1 extra 2.0 bomber dial?

You'll feel the pull as soon as you play it

Also, that hound's tooth is adorable

It's just because it's a part of the faction I haven't played with yet, and I'm on a The Last Jedi kick. And people have said that many are selling off their sequel trilogy ships, so maybe I could get one used at a discount. If not, you're right, it makes way more sense to enjoy my T-70's, and pick up an RZ-2 when they drop.

Oh, and Resistance Bombers in Epic sound like a blast! I just never picked one up because I was so over 1.0 when they came out. 2.0 Epic will be fantastic!!!

I don't have enough FO and resistance ships to justify upgrading, at least by purchasing conversion kits. The cost per ship to upgrade my collection is significantly higher for me to upgrade these than the other wave 1 factions ($8 per ship for FO, $13 per ship for Restance). My son loves the FO, so I will probably upgrade those through the secondary market eventually. I would love to trade my extra wave 1 conversions for the wave 2, but I suspect that may end up being rather difficult.

With Republic and CIS on the horizon, I will probably be dropping Resistance and Scum entirely in favor of those factions. Legion is also eating into X-wing time and money, so something has to get cut somewhere.

I'm probably gonna hold off from FO and Resistance for a while. While I enjoy the ST, I've been kinda "meh" over their role in the game. Also, not being able to get a flappy Poe X-Wing bothers me... so, I'm just gonna stick with Rebels, Imperials, and Scum for the foreseeable future. I don't have much interest in the PT at all.

None.

I never bought any Resistance or FO. Not the 2nd core set either, as I just had bought an additional original core set, when second core was announced. I was absolutely not enthused by colour-negative-shifted models with designation "Greek-Letter/Colour-Squadron-Novice/Veteran/Ace".

I was also expecting and waiting a new core set, guessing appearance around Rogue One (which did not come).

I was for a moment tempted by Heroes of the Resistance and its better Falcon sculpt. But decided to abstain, cause I was expecting a faction split further down the road (which actually did come).

So I am saving a ton of money, luckily, cause I need to convert all 3 OT factions (several in the family play), costs more than enough.

I have almost the exact same story, except I never bought into scum either. I'm actually really looking forward to getting into a third faction. Haven't decided which of the five yet, though. I'm leaning most toward First Order since I like their play style and aesthetics, but resistance and scum are somewhat appealing too. Probably going to pass on prequel ships, at least for now.

I’ll be converting both, but will likely just keep up with Resistance after that.

Heh, we’ll see how well that goes.

The core set will be exactly enough for everyone (except maybe for epic). There's enough in each kit to convert as many ships as you could possibly fly for 200 points, in any combination. They also have literally 9 named pilots for the T-70. I don't know, I guess I'm easily pleased, but I definitely can't complain.

Oh man, forgot about the prequel stuff

Def have to save some room for the ARC faction

I won't lie to myself about not converting them all, but I initially plan on only Empire and First Order. Scum looks fun, but I am super pumped for Galactic Republic.

Yeah, but I am basically in on every faction at some level. I cannot wait to fly a squad of X-Wings and the new Resistance A-Wings though, so I am actually excited for that to hit .

Maybe a Falcon if they manage to make it even semi-viable like it currently is for Scum. LOL, they've got me to go in for three separate models of the same hunk of junk ship. I just want to be able to play it without losing during list building.

I will definitely give the new Kylo a shot as well. Gonna need more than three FO's I think, but I might stay at my single SF until I get more details.

I have enough Resistance and FO ships that I can convert most of them with a pair of kits. Then I will decide if I'll keep all 5 factions going and also look at the next ones!

No point in trying to sell them without their conversion kit bits, though I'll have to check the maths on that once I see how much my FLGS will do the kits for.

With all of the turbulence going on with Lucasfilm (Kathy is getting the boot come the end of the fiscal year), I'm not sure if FO and Resistance will be around long enough to be worth hopping into.

Hopefully Ep. 9 and Resistance give us enough to work with because we will NOT have any more sequel era content after these are done.

I don't think sequel factions are related to Kathy being in charge. Disney are all in to sequel stuff based on what they have been putting in their parks.

Probably not immediatly. But FO for sure, resistance probably. I'm kind of hoping for a resculpt for the bomber, that would sell me on the resistance.

What’s wrong with the Resistence Bomber model?

And where’s this list of ST conversion kits anyway?

FO has always been a “buy for upgrades” faction for me, so with 2.0 I’m glad to be finally downsizing. hopefully someone will enjoy them and they’ll actually hit the tabletop.

The resistance has been fun, (I ran Rey/ Poe for a little while as my “main” list) but I’m not sure if I’m going to make the jump yet. Right now I’m leaning towards dropping them.

Quite a lot of things, the detailing barely resembles the filming model, some angles don't line up etc. Someone made a comparison pic a while ago.

Ooh, think you could find me it? Might be easier for you to find than me, if you posted in the thread.

Resistance, yo.

Add me to the none list as well.

Especially with the Clone Wars factions announced I'll be playing original trilogy and prequels only.

I have one of each FO ship and the resistance bomber/TFA core for Resistance, but I suppose I could say goodbye to those ships as I quote Kyle Ren here in reference and say it's time to let the past die, destroy it if we have to hahaha.

I'm glad that the Resistance and First Order have been split off to become desperate factions in their own right, but I'm not going to be buying in.

Already palmed off my First Order ships (I only had the Core Set TIE/fo's anyway) and I'm not really bothered about converting my Resistance ships.

OG OT for me from now on.
