I’ve been flying a similar list, swapping out 2 of the B-Wings for 2 X-Wings with S-Foils (Blue Squadron Escort).

They're the same initiative, so you still have the flexibility in activation order, but I find that having the variety in options for manoeuvring and repositioning makes it a lot easier to set up a kill box...

Went 3-1 and came second overall in both of the last two store tournaments I’ve participated in!

Now I'm just waiting for the points update to see whether the likely Leia increase will kill it off, and hoping that maybe Zeb and the X-Wings will get a points drop to compensate so that I can continue having fun flying it!

I was just about to ask if 4Xs or 4Bs were better, and I'm sad to say that at least on paper, I'd think the Xwing take it. Very sad.

I think that 4Xs + Zeb_Leia is probably better. maybe... Bs do like that Leia...

Personally I prefer 2 of each; it gives your opponent much more of a headache trying to predict what combination of talon rolls and k-turns you’re going to use!

Is that really useful?

Argh. I feel like that's a less pretty option than 4 of the same on the table. lol

I agree. Go for a full 4 ship squadron of either

I'd wait on new points I guess.

but honestly, as someone who bought four Fang Fighters and then bought four more when I found out the 2.0 ones' wings spin, if you tell me you aren't just gonna end up buying 4 regardless of how good it is I don't believe you.

I don't even fly scum and I got 2 spinners. I also was laughed at for buying 3 new T70's for the flappies. the more flappy the better! I'll be grabbing 2 B-wings for sure, probably 3 because the factory paint is super sexy.

Argh, you guys are killing my wallet... Now I want 4 lol.

But I probably would want repainted ones later... Though, I have no interest in getting more Awings if it'd be an ace pack. Grr. The future is hard to see... but do you think I should just ignore repaint possibilities and get 4 flappy Bs now while there's still pre-release discount?

Less pretty, perhaps, but more effective.

And there’s still a certain joy to be found in having two B-Wings as the anvil to the hammer of two flanking X-Wings...

bah... 3 Flappy B's, 1 Transport, 3 N1's... did the falcon model change? I may need to see about selling bone marrow as I already sold my kidneys for the conversion sets.

I ordered a B-wing through Barnes and Nobles and got it today... and let me say the folding wings, spinny cockpit, and spinning peg are amazing.

Its my fourth model...but I am seriously tempted to grab more.

great. Now i'm gonna want a second......

How impressed are you by the current one you have? $16 impressed?

me? I don't have a re release, flappy one yet. I ordered from my FLGS, I do have 3 1st ed ones. so only wanted one more. But if they are as cool as @KiraYamatoSF is describing, I'll prob want a second.

I just got two flappy wings from Barnes and Noble. I have to say, I’m very impressed! I thought two would be enough, but I may end up getting two more at some point.

I caved.... 4 flappy Bwings.

Gonna have to run 8 and a Corvette now when Epic released.

On the flip side, I think the flappy ones make great gifts for friends if I end up realizing 8 Bs is WAYYYY too many. (Yes its WAY too many)

I own 10 T-65 models and I am proud of it...or possibly insane.

I hear online that people don't like the flappy ships in the form of 65s, 70s, or the Bs but everyone where I go seems to like them. Wouldn't mind doing trades for my old ones for the flappy ones.

I just also want to say comparing the old B to the new one is amazing. I almost wonder if they could have made the Arc have flappy wings as well.

Ya wish the arc moved.

Idk why people don't like em.

You're insane. Me too. Not quite as much.

Got pre-order discount, yummmm

Now the issue is... when will they actually arrive....

I've heard that too. Same with the new Y-wings. Even extended trade offers to those who said it. No one has followed through and I'm still stuck with my non flappy t-65s, t-70s, b-wings, and old y-wings.

I'm surprised they didn't go ahead and give them a game mechanic. Same with Arc 170s and other ships that have actual firing mechanics involved with moving ship parts.

Yeah flappy ARC wings would've been nice. I guess it could be argued it's not relevant because they always have them open in battle but I've never seen a B-Wing fight with wings closed either...

happened in rebels right? and you see the b wings flying before they open their wings in ROTJ.

i think anything to make the models more game interactive is awesome, personally

I think the closing wings is more about storage. I hardly ever fly B-wings, but I pulled my three B-wings out the other night and was dismayed to find that one cannon was broken off of two of them 😥 . Having them fold up ought to make it easier to store them without breakage. Incidentally, storage is the reason B-wings' wings fold in canon, too, so no title is necessary I suppose.

I had no intention of buying a flappy B-wing, but with 2 damaged ones, and Epic on the horizon, maybe I can divert $20 for one of those cool models. After all, that's only 4 B-wings total in my collection, which is still perfectly playable in standard play. You guys are breaking my will. I shouldn't have ever come back to this thread.

Or a Hwk without title, plus Leia, or naked Jake with no pants??

This looks horrifying.

Definitely not modded, but it's got that "scare the other guy into mistakes" advantage.
