Where can I get an Attack Shuttle for the Ghost?

By Cpt ObVus, in X-Wing

So, I’m a completionist, to some degree, and I cannot seem to find the 1.0 Ghost’s Attack Shuttle sidekick. Are these difficult to get? Does anyone have one they would be willing to part with? I bought a 2.0 Ghost, because I wanted the physically-docking Sheathipede, but I’m just not willing to pay $70+ for a 1.0 Ghost just to get the Shuttle.

They don't exist as singles. So you'll have to scour the Internet to find one sold separately. I'm still very confused by FFG's decision to switch which shuttle to bundle, as you must not be the only one in your situation...

They should have included both if you ask me.

I didn't quite get that decision either. They overall entirely fouled up the Ghost and the "Rebels" crew. Ezra gunner didn't even make it into the re-print. Though to be fair they did improve the stand a great deal and the Phantom II being removable is pretty cool.

Then just as the thing is re-released they dropped it from Hyperspace Format.

As far as finding just a Phantom I (Attack Shuttle) you're pretty much limited at the moment to finding someone who is willing to break up a 1st Edition expansion or perhaps looking to the 3d printing scene for one. I certainly wouldn't expect a re-print in the near term. A reprint might fit in with some sort of squadron pack/scenario sort of expansion centered around the Rebels show with some revised VCX pilots and a re-paint on the B-wing and that sort of thing but I wouldn't expect that to be a high-priority item in the vague plans they've hinted at regarding those.

This is just speculation, but I think that it might come out in a Pheonix Squadron aces-style pack, but that would be very far off.

I do think it is odd that that Phantom II came with the Ghost, since a Sheathipede could have been a multi-faction release ship now that CIS is in the game.

In general, it's often worth it to check the big Trade thread. It's a little long and intimidating, but if you just post stuff you're looking for, someone might have it and be willing to swap.

I bet the Phantom II was easier to dock with the Ghost, no wings that also need to fold.

Thanks all!

While we’re on the subject of carrier ships with docking sidekicks: I know the Hound’s Tooth 2.0 comes with a specially-painted Nashtah Pup Z-95, but seeing as I had found good deals on the 1.0 Tooth and an old Z-95, I couldn’t justify the 2.0 purchase (at least, not unless I happen to find a nasty double YV-666 build). 🙂

My question is: did they add some sort of docking contraption to the 2.0 Tooth for the Pup? I was looking at it, thinking I might even be willing to drill a little hole in the top of the Tooth myself (though I’m no ship-modder), for putting a Z-95 mounting peg into.

I’ll caveat that I don’t have the 2.0 version, but I don’t believe so. Canonically I believe the Pup’s wings are supposed to fold upward, and most of the Tooth’s interior has been hollowed out into a docking bay that swings open... somewhere. It’d be a pretty decent amount of work to convert that up; not impossible, but a bit of a thing.
