Y Wings will probably be solid in multiples, spammed Y Wings have been a thing in every faction they've been in.
Nantex will either want one or as many as possible, one if you're just planning to run Sun, multiples will work like Phantoms, though I suspect you will only get three with Ensnare.
I'm only planning to get one of each.
Hoping for two Ys myself
sigh, but preorder discounts....

My FFG preorder has shipped and is scheduled to arrive tomorrow. That means game stores should have product in hand soon.
I also ordered 2 Ys and 1 Nantex. Another Ghost was tempting, but I figure I’ll wait and see it in person.

What discounts? I’ve never seen such a thing... our LGS preorders are msrp. Only advantage to preorder is a guarantee you got it on release
Really curious to see the breakdown of walk-in availability, based on the following questions.

Yeah, like the 5 Rebel y-wings were all that great.
We don’t even know what the points are, not that I expect them to be ultra expensive, best to just wait for points until you can figure out some good lists.
Expectations for Republic ship launches pre and post points have always been iffy. Nobody is flying Pdame with 2 naboo handmaidens like was predicted before the N-1 was released. Maybe people would if the points were cheaper, but it comes down to what the points are.

Nobody flies Padme because the groupthink says she's bad.

Her ability is completely bonkers. It’s so good.
what does Snap Shot come in? yea 4 of those.
1x Nantex 👍
Debating on whether I should expand the rest of my collection... Should I get 1 Res A-wing and Res Transport? =/ I don't play Res very much. A third Naboo? I think that hasn't been that useful, and no urge to fly handmaidens or Padme until they come down in price.
Ulgh.
I hope the Sheathipede comes out for CIS soon.

I have to say that whilst Sun Fac looks cool and all, part of me keeps looking longingly at Inquisitors with a desire to do a "this is what I think of your jedi" swarm. It has its limitations but it's such a great little ship.
But the tractor-jitsu swarm is calling. I went for TIE/sk over quadjumpers when they first came out. Now....I'm not so sure. Plus, as noted, Snap Shot.
Not a huge fan of Y-Wings, haven't bought into Separatists, and have all the other stuff, so to begin with, just one Y-Wing. It's mostly for the cards, really. Both the force talents are interesting, and Chopper seems hilarious. Looking forward to sticking him on Mace and hopping around dealing out strain tokens.
If I end up playing the ship a lot I might pick up a second one. Tempted to get two more v1s so I can run five, but I'd need to decide on a loadout for them. If either force talent is 3 points, maybe?

My collection was never big or valuable (by MTG standards), but that's what got me into the two prequel factions, as well as Guild Ball Cooks. Alas, the well of store credit has just about run dry...

Me too. My usual gaming buddy has his original Sheath from 1.0, and one I traded him when I was getting rid of my Rebels. I’m hoping that’s enough of a foot in the door to lure him into starting Clankers...

our FLGS gives 10% discount on preorders.
I'm planning either 2 or 3 Y-wings and 1 Nantex.
I preordered (3) Y wings and (2) v1's. The ghost is tempting for the new peg and model quality, but I already have two converted 1.0 ghosts and my wallet says no way.

So 4 Nantex and 4 Republic Y-Wings? It comes in both. 
4th in upgrade spread
1st in upgrade spread.
From a pure value perspective there's so much more in the Y-Wing pack.
I wish to amend my thoughts after the new points update. I was going to get 2 Nanteks. 24 points for Ensnare on Sun is beyond ridiculous. Do I wait for the January rebalance to rethink my purchase?
Why even release it FFG??? WHY!!???!!!
Were you getting two to run Sun Fac and a buddy? That never seemed like the best investment on this thing, to me. But maybe I'm just relatively disinterested in Ace play.
A couple generic Ensnare Nantex fighters leaves room for 5 Vultures and a few upgrades. I'm going to try it at least once, for sure.

My idea was to run Sun, Berwer and either 2 Autopilot Bellyrubs or 3 Strut Vultures.
3 strut vultures fit if you give both Nanteks Ensnare and Predator. Is 198. Can drop struts for 195 and a bid.
I don't play Republic but I'm buying a Y-wing just to repaint it Scum for when I fly Kavil.
