I... Got one?! Now I'm conflicted. The order is in and everything so I guess we'll see it when it gets here. But seeing how many in the forum, y'all dedicated players who were excited for them and likely had your hands on the button, who didn't get one!? Ffs FFG.
I fell like I got ill gotten gains. And I'm that dolt who tried to make an N-1 pure list work. 😕

The more I see the cluster that happened with the N1, the more I agree with you about how to do LE ships. I used to be ok with the “hey here’s a big event souvenir” — maybe I still am ok with it to some degree, but I definitely think the “try to make a little of everyone happy” medium road was a total disaster on their part.
I guess my main problem with that idea was that many didn't treat it as a souvenir, but a way to cash out on their trip at 5-10x MSRP.
I'm hoping this medium road gives FFG an idea of the true scale of desire/demand for these things, and they rise to meet the challenge.
Honestly, I think the idea that some ships come and go is a great idea for the long-term health of the game. Like, for example, what if next year they released the Oota Goota:
It's just a YT-1300 knock off that isn't critical to keep in print long term because the Falcon is the Perma-SKU, but as a Limited Edition for a weekend or a Wave, it brings diversity to the game.
It would also be a great way to get ships like the TIE Hunter, TIE Avenger, Missile Boat, Slave II, M-22 Krayt, T-Wing, and other ships into the game that are hard to find design space for. They are here; then they are gone. But if you missed out on the Missile Boat, for example, the StarWing is the permanent ship in that role.
Lastly, it would allow FFG to Print To Demand, and no longer have the problem they have with the Raider, et. al. Companies like Dwarven Forge {who, as a smaller company, can't afford to have tons of inventory laying around waiting for a buyer} already use a Kickstarter for every single thing they do. Everyone gets one, there are no leftovers, and there are no underperforming SKUs.

Ha!!
When there were on super-sale last holiday season, I out-dolted you:
Has any one else bought the N-1 by the case??

But I am also torn between "I love this ship, thank goodness I got one" and "I'm sorry for everyone else."

Same here, in principle anyway. I mean I can't say it really upsets me worrying about the people who can't have one, but if I had the choice I'd make it so everyone who wants one can have one.

As someone who was not lucky enough to get a code, I'd prefer to see the codes go to dolts that fly too many N-1s than people who want to sell it at an up charge.

Enjoy yours! Fly it proud for those of us that didn't get one.

Soon as I get mine I'm gonna work up Naboo Wing 🙂
Well clearly there is demand for alternative paint schemes on ships. They should do limited run alt paint schemes on many of the ships. It would drive sales. If they don't, well these ships aren't actually that hard to paint, if you are good at painting.

I'll give you three guesses as to why I got into X-wing and the first two don't count.
Didn't get one so I'll wait for the 21st, after that it's off to eBay. I will have this ship, I quite adore playing Padme.

I will second that.
I have a theory on how one could "repaint" a ship (and also chrome up those engine nozzles on the regular ones) without actually needing to grab brushes and pots of water. Going to have to test this first so I'm not misleading folks, if people actually care to give it a try.

Let us know how that comes out. Good or bad results. You've peaked my interest.
FFG updated, codes are now good through 4/28 and they do not know when shipping will occur due to stay at home orders. https://www.fantasyflightgames.com/en/news/2020/4/10/limited-edition-naboo-royal-n-1-starfighter-expansion-pack-update/
I wasn't expecting anything to ship anytime soon. Star wars toys is the very definition of not essential.
Oh cool now we're being charged 15 flat in shipping instead of at-purchase, that'll be fun to explain to my girl.
It does seem like a better international option. It’s no longer more to ship than it costs. Still expensive, but I am sure this might change a few international code holders minds.

Well that appears to only apply to international orders, thought you were stateside but I could be mistaken. You may want to reread the email, reading comprehension is still a thing. $35 shipping and all is not bad for an LE that you would have otherwise had to go to eBay for if it does end up being on all orders.

Hey, no need to be an *** about it. Yeah, I'm stateside but don't be like that unprovoked.

Funny, I make an offhanded comment and you get all uptight. It’s usually you who is another name for a mule and attacks others, myself included multiple times. It’s odd that we are supposed to put up with attacks and rants from you where you go off on other people and have personally attacked me and others in the past over a differing opinion. I guess we will have to learn to apply a double standard and ignore the attacks and rants while being extraordinarily careful not to offend the little snow flake. The last time we interacted you personally attacked me and straight up called me a liar, I started to put you on block then and remembered that you used to actually bring quality content here, but it’s been a long time though. I’ll correct that mistake now before this degenerates into what it usually does when you enter a conversation nowadays. If I receive a warning post for this it will all be worthwhile because I’ll never receive another post of yours. My only regret is that when someone quotes one of your posts I’ll still see it 🤷♂️, but most will vanish from my screen. By the way, glad you enjoyed the way your beloved sequel trilogy ended, finally came around to everyone else’s opinion
Can't speak for @KCDodger as I've not really seen any the content you refer to.
However, here's what I will say: two wrongs do not make a right. There are more polite ways to make your statement without bringing in someones 'reading comprehension' which is a blatant insult towards someone.
Not sure what the sequel trilogy comment is about and quite frankly I don't want to know given how it sounds more like people s#itting on something others may like rather than simply letting people enjoy something.
With that being said I will take the ironic opportunity to say, you sir are an *****hole.

Anyway, glad to have a chance to actually afford one rather than being gouged for nearly double what the expansion costs. I couldn't justify that, now I can.

Thanks Ebak.
So.... it’s April 29th..... dare I ask if anyone got a code for ships that didn’t sell?
No. FFG seems to say again that they have technical problems.
Nuts. Still hoping for a round 2 pick!

I don’t know why I even bother to get my hopes up anymore.
