At Nova we were told that the sith infiltrator could cloak... I don’t see a cloak on that action bar. Maybe it gets to take the scum version?

It is probably a mod or other upgrade since it is also mentioned in the article.

New ARCs!!!!! Very exciting. $29.95 for new ARCs... not so much. Much more interesting than the sequel trilogy wave.

Guh. More reason to not collect one of everything.

I read it as Synchronized Console.

Tomato, potato.

My consoles are buff, bruh!

Synchronized sounds better, ha!

Wow, $30 for the arc is nuts.

Have we ever been able to build a "tourney legal" list out of a single core or aces pack with out needing other ships? Not without a stupidly large bid IIRC.

HotR.

Well I guess I’ve found my two new factions moving forward. This is so amazing.. their are no words

“Do what must be done, Lord Vader. Do not hesitate. Show no mercy.”

The new red token with the twirled arrow must be Anakin‘s spinning. That‘s a nice trick!

The cost is the real power creep.

HotR. Hero's of the Resistance I take it. So once...

Idiotic tariffs are likely the motivator there...

I just did an estimate it’s going to cost me at a minimum $300 to get everything I want. This is going to be glorious

@SpiderMana exactly. Price blockade I say ? ?

That’s just on the cheap side, the 3-packs are a very nice feature though hopefully they continue this in the future (FFG)

The fact that even a lone vulture droid is $20 is ridiculous...

Selling 2 different packs with $60 value for $40 each helps, though.

Agreed, especially if they also release singles of the ships within. The multi-ship packs make a good starter for a squadron/collection, but start to suck when they are the only way to obtain a ship and you only need one to finish your squad.

I think some of the ships that are currently unique to the starter boxes will find their way into a stand alone expansion in future waves once those factions have been fleshed out a bit with more ships.

Anyone else hoping Blue Squadron from Rogue One gets a Squadron Pack in the future?

Anyway I only have eyes for the Republic for Clone Wars and I will be getting 1 or 2 Squadron packs, 1 delta expansion, and 1 or 2 Arcs. So anywhere from $90 to $160 for what I want.

I can guess already the Y-wing and Hyena will be Wave 4 or 5.

If the Scum Z-95 is any indicator I have to happily agree. :)

I wonder if there'll be a Republic Nym in the eventual scurrg rerelease

So Anakin Skywalker is (I6) and Obi-Wan (I5); the new force upgrade “Brillant upgrade” is amazing and probably going to be really expensive, add the “Calibrated Laser Targeting” and these ships will be tough in or out of arc. I’m ready to pay any ship price to fly them together. This is fantastic

edited. Anyone surprised Obi-Wan is an Initative 5?

I think though part of the high cost on the ARC is that you might only need the one ARC expansion to field three of them if you already have a conversion kit. There are a bunch of ship tokens there and except for that new gunner and The Senate who is likely only one to a squad most of that stuff is in other products. It still seems high but I might see if as more of a conversion kit with a model.

That is something I did think about and would definitely be something FFG, if that is the case let’s everyone know. Let’s hope it’s that.

One of each to start, followed ASAP by a second squadron pack and, let's be honest, probably another ARC despite owning 3 Rebel ones already... Yeaup, this is gonna be fun.

But hey it'll come out sometime around tax return season, as somebody already pointed out, and I think I have some stock vesting in April as well, from my employer... Unfortunately April is also my first wedding anniversary.

Eh, priorities. ?‍♂️ Hellooooooo Republic :D

A wee bit. He's probably a 4.5, but I don't mind him as a 5.

Just because he doesn't like flying doesn't mean he's bad at it.
I mean, I didn't like math in school, but I was good at it so I can understand if that's the case.

There certainly isn't enough information yet. So hard to evaluate without costs. There might be new torpedoes as well. We'll see. Still very excited for this wave.
