Hello everyone, hope your all doing well. I'm looking at buying my stuff to get started playing this game but I really only want the Clone Wars starter set as I am far more interested in doing clone wars era skirmish's (have no interest whatsoever in competitive play), the problem is I can't find the core set anywhere here in the States. Has anyone found this to be in stock anyplace that isn't jacking the prices up or charging a ridiculous amount for domestic shipping? I keep seeing this being sold for about $150 or charge more than $20 for shipping. Thanks, and have a fantastic day.

In a lot of places it was out of stock before covid and now that the supply chain has been interrupted it will likely be hard to come by at regular prices until this has all abated somewhat.

I bought a couple CW core sets at the start of March and I paid about $20 CAD over the normal price. Unless you can find a store that has them, if you want them now you’re gonna have to pay extra.

Where in the states are you?

I'm in PA and I found a store 4 hours from here that had them in stock. It was full retail but that`s fine, I have family in that area so its getting my money from now on considering only one shop in my area that saw my facebook message even answered back. They even have the contrast paints I want.

Welcome to the game!

Mostly for the droids, but also to give your clones more options, I would highly recommend a second clone wars core set even for skirmish play. Dollar for dollar it’s the best investment in the game.

Then scoop up the other commanders (Dooku and Rex respectively) and you’ll have plenty of variety for 500 point skirmish level games.

Welcome to the game!

I'm from there. When I moved to New England one of the reasons I stayed was the much higher density of gaming stores! Glad you found your minis and paints!

I understand the OP's interest in Clone Wars Legion -- it's a great game -- but it's going to be challenging to find it ATM. As others have mentioned, there was a stock shortage before the pandemic disrupted global supply chains. Unfortunately, FFG isn't great at restocking their games and most Legion products have been sold out since Black Friday and Christmas sales 2019. I bought Clone Wars Legion during a Christmas sale and ever since then my LGS has been sold out -- same with the other board game online stores in my area. And it appears CWL is sold out across most of NA.

I think the best advice is simply be patient and wait for restocks. It's not worth paying inflated prices for stuff off eBay or the Amazon Marketplace. Also, you probably won't be able to play the game with anyone (outside your household) so there's no real sense of urgency.

I'd suggest using Table Top Simulator to satisfy your Clone Wars Legion fix for now, and then when things get back to normal and you can find CWL in stores again, you'll have learned the ropes and be ready to play against other Legion players.
