Besides the Nantex, do any of this week's new releases contain anything that make them must-buys if we've already bought the entire run of ships in 1st edition? Also how many of each would be optimal for full list building flexibility? (shipping costs more than the ships themselves for me)
What to buy from this week's releases
Clone Wars Y-Wing. I'm buying 2 of them and 1 Nantex.
The Ghost allows the Sheathipede to dock, and has a much better peg.
Syck has a new paintjob, and I think the Punishing One has a slightly different one?
Tie V1/TAP has bluer paintjob.

So in terms of cards, dials, ships, only the Y-wing and Nantex offer something new not found in the conversion kits and 1st edition versions?

Correct. This is the policy for rereleases

2 Nanteks, some time later a Republic Y, then a long some time after that, a ghost. I have one, do I need 2? Will they be hyperspace? The docked sheath could be cool though,
Planning on two Ys, maybe more, really loving Republic and been playing large scale games with my dad.
Been interested in Separatist but haven't fully committed. Got a Squadron pack and a lone Vulture expansion but other things are nore tempting.
...like flappy T-70s and Bs to replace my old models... what?
this week??

Expected release date is the 13th.
Yeah getting a few Ys and the nantex even though i think its Butt ugly..lol Dont need another Ghost but the docking ability would be cool... LOVE the new flappy B-wings and picked one up just because of that..
I’m picking up a single Republic Y until we know how they’re costed and have a better idea of building lists with them.
I don’t have Seppies so won’t be changing that now.
I might pick up a v1 later because I only have one from 1.0.
After way overbuying in 1.0, I’ve been sticking pretty hard to a one-copy-per-ship/only-factions-I-already-fly policy for myself in 2.0. So with those criteria in mind, the Republic Y-Wing is my one-and-only this week. I’m looking forward to it, though; seems like a fun expansion for the faction!
I'm getting a Y-Wing and another pack of Republic dial covers (I keep all of my dials in the upgrade kit plastic). I feel like eventually I'll get at least one more, but I need to be a bit conservative with my funds right now. I still have just one ARC-170 and N-1, both of which I want to add at least one more of to my collection too. One-of-everything is surprisingly effective for Republic, thanks to there being two ways to get a Delta-7.
The new (non-faction/ship locked cards) in this wave are Prerecognitive Reflexes, Foresight, Snap Shot, and Targeting Computer. The Y-wing has the force upgrades and snap shot, while the Nantex has targeting computer and snap shot.
The Y-wing also includes a Clone Wars-era Chopper Astromech, Republic C-3P0 Crew, and Ashoka Gunner as new options for the Republic, as well as a copy of electro-proton bomb and delayed fuses if you still need that. The Nantex includes two more new talents, but those are only available to the nantex itself.
For those who haven't bought into the new factions, the Ghost and Tie adv/v1 both come with the Hate and Predictive Shot Force upgrades.
Keep in mind, though, that all these upgrades will be included in the upgrade card packs coming early next year, so if you're patient, there's no need to buy a ship you don't want for a card you do.
Nantex is still listed as "In Development" on the FFG site.

They also published an article that it’s coming the 13th. The tracker is less reliable for sure.
I want the Nantex and Y-Wing, but I also really want to get a second Ghost.
Aside from it being one of my favorite ships, it also comes with Maul crew so I can finally stop borrowing my Scum buddy’s copy.

He's in the coming card pack if you don't mind waiting.

Totally this.
Still I'm getting 4 Y-Wings because Republic is my 2.0 "growth" faction that I'm favoring, and Epic is on the way.
1 Scyk cuz repaint, and 2 Nantex to stay completionist + gives free shipping.
And, I have made it a policy not to actually buy anything: this is all store credit from cashing in Magic cards.
Defintely 2 Republic Y-Wings; and possible the new scuplt of the Ghost since it has a docking option, and new peg mechanic

Oh, I know, but I also want to try flying two Ghosts, and want the docking model

Same way I paid for this wave, along with some 40k things.

Oh deer gods. I better make a call....
How many of these do we think we need??
I don't know if Ywings will be that great in spam. even2?
And really do we expect to be using more than 1 Nantex? It seems like a fragile ace.
Not having even some idea of points really kinda neuters the risk taking here.

Start with one of any model you want to use, then wait and see what the points are and if you really want more.
