As someone who recently came back to xwing to drop 300+ to convert and buy some missing ships for my empire scum rebel collection I doubt ffg doesn’t reprint the tie/ag and auzituck as they have a large aftermarket markup already. people seemed to have forgotten xwing had issues w keeping up w ship demands initially and went months with certain ships being impossible to find

but ya I was and am still annoyed at ffg for requiring me to spend several hundred to play with what I already bought, taking forever to convert epic, and having a flawed app. So I ended up buying the miniature market sale on saws renegades which I wanted but peeved because it has a bunch of misprints but at 50 percent off why not

One issue that's come up with Infinity is SKU bloat. Because there are so many individual models, stocking the game on store shelves can be difficult especially since asking the LGS to know what are core pieces in each subfaction is nuts. The issue was brought up in Radio TCX when the it was revealed Xwing would go from 3 factions to 7.

Also, OOP feels a bit worse when it's your entire subfaction that rotates out.

Yes but that's not really applicable to x-wing is it? Infinity has 10 factions with something like 75 sku per faction. Compared 7 factions with 5-15 for sku x-wing. Even if every faction gets up to 15 ships it's still less than 1/7 of what infinity has.

Heck Bushido which is a small niche games has almost 3 times the SKU x-wing would have if everything was re released.

It was already difficult for Brick and Mortar stores to stock Infinity before NA2, 3rd Offensive Sectorials, and 012. It's testament to the dedication of the infinity community (regularly bringing entire tables of terrain) and the proxy friendly culture.

I'm not saying that's the immediate future for Xwing, but it is a consideration for game stores. Physical stores only got so much real estate and Xwing packaging is abnormally large. Especially for something not a GW product.
