A release of all First Order/Resistance ships, upgrades would be a very nice thing. Of course more articles would be appreciated cough* Rey’s Falcon, *cough Tie Silencer * Resistance Bomber etc.

2 of the 3 we don't have much of but we do know at least What Rey does, the new Falcon title, and Chewie pilot does for the Resistance Falcon.

I really wish we'd get a point break down of the new ships... I wanna know how many X-Wings I should replace >_> (what? I like my flappy wings!) I'm definitely getting 3 A-Wings and, again, depending on points, a TIE F/O

weakling. I ordered 4 a-wings... from 2 different stores 8 total. and if I had any less self control I'd be trying to get one overnighted from malaysia. But... I have a little self control.

Is there an A-Wing anonymous therapy group? Do I need to start one?

Aside from the obvious fact that you probably can't fly all 8 at once (but you could repaint some for preference), why did you order from 2 different stores?

If the ones he ordered from were LGSs, some of them limit order sizes so they don't get overwhelmed with stock all at once. While one 8 ship order doesn't look like much, if your stocking for a new release and have 5-20 players ordering on top of your planned stock... Yah, I think I'd cap order size. :)

Or this. :)

FYI,

i talked to the store they are holding the product until street releases.

I'd like to add I own 10 RZ1s

The Resistance Bomber especially.

Literally THE ship that determines whether or not I keep my 3 t-70s

I guess I need to go into A-Wing therapy I preordered 3 expansions.

You know, I hadn't factored in the interesting support options via tech upgrades

The none lulo pilots might be okay for setting up targeting synch and allowing your t70 scrubs to unload protons

Personally holding out on the bber to fulfill that role (plus bombing, obviously) but the A could pull it off

Resistance has a LOT of nice things going for it (Poe, the stress t70, m9g8, Rose, tech stuff, c3po if we get a good coordinate ship, even old Han!) just hope the bomber delivers

The bomber, and its points literally will determine all my Resistance lists.

Falcon, Bomber, A-Wing

Bomber, Bomber, 3 A-Wing

Bomber, Poe, Tallie.

Its Resistance Bomber or bust. Literally everything I want to fly has a bomber included

I ‘discovered’ the joy of Bomber, Bomber, T-70 late in 1.0... I want my babies back.

I had forgotten about Synchronizer too...huh...

You could actually go the other way around and put that on Poe w/ Proton Torps, BB8, and Predator at least. With his double action and BB8 repositioning, he should have a solid chance to have a focus, TL while maybe getting that bullseye Predator reroll to keep the lock and have 2-3 AWings with Concussion or Homing Missiles that have take a focus and repositioning action if necessary. That's always been the issue with the AWings, they really want their focus token and taking a Lock action usually doesn't bode well for their survival. Or just more T70s with torps like you said could be setup by Poe.

Poe synch idk about because you might want to mod his own shots

On the other hand, you don't need to spend lock to fire torps

So...

Poe (synch, torps) + Initiative 1 scrub (m9-g8, torps)

fully modded Poe torp + focused scrub torps

Could be funny, extra fun if coordinate c3po crew is ever a thing (and since there's no rebel Sabine...BOMBER CREW!?!?!!)

And we thought rebels had synergy ?

Good call on a M9G8 carrier locking Poe for that extra mod

So unfortunately we won't see them opening to see the rest of the cards.

But at least we know they do have it, so likely 2 weeks until it drops possibly.

Always keep an eye on m9g8

Poor guy couldn't completely hack it in the utterly broken atmosphere of 1st Ed...but make no mistake, he's AWESOME

Rey Talli Lulo or GTFO

Not from them but from other people that own stores they're saying that pre-order stopped so we should get stuff either next week or the week after

Thats a bit concerning as all my local stores say they haven’t even been able to pre-order yet.

I just need to hold out until next week. Then I can preorder everything I need. I'm only lacking sufficient scum YTs.

Why scum YTs? So I can modify "stock" YTs into resistancey ships.

For real I really hope preorders are still viable. This is getting a little crazy.
