Hardest ships to find? (US)

By drylndsurf, in X-Wing

I'm just what ships are the hardest to find right now in the US. Mostly so I can be sure to grab them when I come across them randomly.

Stopped at a shop nearby and they had a TIE Interceptor, TIE Advanded, Y wing, and X wing. Didn't know which one or two would be best to get.

I would say TIE Interceptor and A-wing for sure.

Well, technically speaking... the wave 3 ships. :)

But other than that: TIE Interceptors for sure.

Looks like ill have to grab that interceptor.

And yeah, wave three seems pretty hard to come by. Unless you're at Gencon. ;)

What's the shop and do they have a website?

Y-wings as well are elusive.

It was actually a Hobby Town in my neighborhood.

That would be confirmed at GenCon FFG had all ships except for those 2. Something happened in production to where those 2 ships are not ready for sale yet. Also during the FFG briefings/annual report they stated they are building the X-wing minis in full force. They just did not anticipate this demand.

Y-wings as well are elusive.

About the only way in which Y-wings are elusive.

Decided to go with an A wing to get PTL, an Squint because I love them and the pilots look strong, and an X wing to get Wedge. Thanks for the insights!

  • Can't go wrong with Interceptors.. they are Pro if flown correctly.

It took me a month to find the X-Wing expansion. I lucked out in a B&N one day. I haven't gone shopping lately, as money's been tight, so I can't say what's hot now down here in the DFW area.

I cant even find a Y-Wing on ebay. Dammit. My store here in Riverside CA has 8 A-Wings and 6 Tie Interceptors. No one needs them I guess.

Should have picked up that Y wing too I guess. Working with limited funds means I have to pick and choose though. I'm also trying to find the elusive Target clearance core set for $12.

Interceptors and A-Wings seem to have been replenished enough that you can find them. X-Wings, Y-Wings and Tie\ln's seem to be the hard finds right now. I really thought I had enough of everything, then FFG went in threw in an Epic game. I just don't think 100 pt builds are going to be enough any more.

Yeah. One of the shops I stopped at this weekend had three or four squints and a wings.

I heard the Interceptor was the hard one to find. Heck, looking at prices on Amazon and Ebay, you'd think they were all gone forever. I found three in a day in the local shop and Barnes and Noble.

In north Alabama one store in my area has a Firespary and Target has core, no clearance, everything else is impossible to come by. Lucked up and found two Int's through Miniature Market last week, they were obviously reprints my first one was quite blue and the two new were nearly as grey as the original Tie. I will be glad when the new reprints hit, need one Int and a couple more Y-wings and at least one more advance. My advice is if you see something you want pick it up. Held off on several wave 1 ships looking for wave 2, not a mistake i'll make again, now can't find hardly any product.

Game store in Tuscon has Y wings on the shelf...cant remember the name of the store...

I would say TIE Interceptor and A-wing for sure.

It was actually the Y-Wing and TIE Advanced that they didn't have at GenCon, though the TIE Interceptor did sell out by sometime on Saturday.

I haven't seen an X-Wing, or a Tie Fighter pack in nearly four months. That's probably the rarest for me right now.

I grabbed an X and Y about a month ago. I can't find Wave 1 anywhere now.

Haven't seen a TIE/LN pack anywhere. Guess I'll have to wait on those.

The game has certainly changed the last couple weeks. Today at the FLGS they had nothing but A-Wings and Interceptors. About a dozen of each. I guess everyone's overcompensated.

It would seem that the T/I drought is almost over. I went to my local store yesterday and they had over 20 T/Is & A/Ws in stock.
