  1. Don't see them doing a limited run, thats more Attack Wing tactics, but the Falcon could have/probably has changed so I guess its possible.
  2. Very nice man, This is just another example of people far more gifted than me doing what they do best, I'd be too afraid to try to hack my minis, then pissed that I had to go out and buy a replacement.
  3. I completely agree, Adam seemed pretty helpful maybe then can refund the difference, its worth a try.
  4. Considering how they have a blank slate story-wise we have don't have enough to say
  5. This weekend Applied Perspective has a Thanksgiving Sale http://www.appliedperspective.com/acrylic/huge-4-day-sale/ I had some questions and Adam was extremely quick and got back to me in minutes which is amazing considering its a Saturday of a holiday weekend. I've just ordered two sets of Mirrored Templates. Enjoy and Happy Hunting
  6. I'm always late to the forums, but +1 for not being to late, as others have mentioned u can either play online with vassal, or convince someone you know to play with you, so far I've convinced 3 people to try and all 3 loved it and played more games, (ex-roomate, exgf, & my boss). Another option is check with gaming stores a few around me have the core set opened and you can try it out before taking the plunge, though I'm sure once you play you will be addicted like us, so then I imagine ebay will be your best bet until the reprints are out, but like mentioned before you can always just write down on paper what you don't own. Another point the minis are more durable than I initially thought and I've ended up with having more ships than I can possibly field because my niece loves to come by set up all the ships and play
  7. Great trade with Deko, item was well packed but was somehow lost and he took the time to get it resolved with post office. Trade with confidence
  8. Isn't that the point of Decoy? Sometimes waiting to shoot can be helpful, and boosting a prototype's PS can definitely help at times. Yes but now you have one of the most expensive ships, shooting dead last each round, it very specific cases it could be helpful sure, but generally speaking it'll do way more harm than good.
  9. Han with Decoy + Prototype Pilot (Han shoots last) Rebel Operative with Gunner [no Turret] Expose + Stealth Device Corran with Expose (on the round he can't shoot)
  10. I tried 2x Sigma Squadron Pilot -Stygium Particle Accelerator Howlrunner Omicron Shuttle -Fleet Officer Won 1st game, lost next two though it was against the same opponent, Nice list just first time flying phantoms and it showed
  11. Plano boxes with the clamshell cut to fit, minimal shifting and I always keep them level, I also precreate my lists so only travel with what I'm flying.
  12. 1. They won't ship until everything you ordered is in stock (unless you call and break up the order) 2. I'm pretty sure payment is charged when the order is placed not fulfilled. 3. Any order over $100 gets free shipping - Not MM
  13. They dread when they see my Keyan
  14. Have AA Han, Luke, Chewie, Biggs Shield tokens Cloak tokens All bomb/mines Ion tokens Want Alt Vader Alt Lando Alt Boba
  15. Try Barnes & Noble then tend to have a good selection.
  16. great write up, did u atleast win for best dressed?
  17. lol thanks nah stupid cat jumped on keyboard
  18. Hey Guys, I've been addicted to little plastic ships for about a year now and been on these forums first lurking then a semi-active member since. I've learned alot from this and since the silliness of certain topics a short time ago or the doom and gloom of metas. wave, etc etc I had wanted to give something back to either stir meaningful conversations or help others the way I learned from certain wise people here. So this is the first of 3 posts I'll try to put out in the next week or it. Disclaimer: I don't know everything and lot will be my personal preferences, so love it or hate it, its just food for thought Hopefully others will do the same. I will try to be informative but short and precise. Giving Back #1 The Evolution of my list After about my 6th game I had poor results so I started really reading up on all the cards, reading forums for rules and how abilities interacted, and I can up with this list which I called Roark's Rhinos 3 Blue w/Adv. Sensors Roark w/ Ion Cannon Turret 99 points and with AS and one PS12 I had great flexibility, it was great I was a B-wing fan (since RotJ) and AS keep my foes guessing, gaining INIT. is important since I have such low PS. I won a fairly good amount of Store Championships, kits, AoIA or usually atleast top 3. Pre-phantom some would smile when I told them I had a HWK-290, the irony. With introduction of Wave 4 I refused to go the HAN/PHANTOM route so I went back and it evolved to: 2 Blue w/Adv. Sensors Airen Cracken w/Swarm Tactics & Cluster Missiles Roark w/ Ion Cannon Turret Still 99pts with Clusters Cracken gives 2 actions out and with Roark that was 2 ships that were PS12 which helped vs. Fat Han/Whisper, echo is easier bc 1 pt INIT bid so I usually shot first with PS 12, 8, 8, 4 The final change was after Reb Aces it became 1 Blue Keyan Farlander w/ Opportunist Airen Cracken w/Swarm Tactics Roark w/ Ion Cannon Turret The list changed alot, the blue become more of a blocker, and unless I was facing a phantom or had to kill a high PS, Every round I has PS 12 (Blue). PS 8 (Cracken & Roark), PS7 (Keyan). Opportunist was the most effective here since either my opponent forgot I had it or watched him struggle with indecision on when to burn focus/evades may times the gamble to keep it didn't pay off. Phantoms aside useful tactics involved targeting PS 6 or less for the first two rounds, since I was consistently good at dropping almost everything including daggers/blues/even shuttles each round, then focusing on higher PS when they usually only had a ship on two left. Another fun tactic was use the blue to block, then "Roark" Cracken to 12 which he ST the blue so then Cracken shoots, gives the blue a barrel roll back so he takes a point blank shot at a tokenless ship (also great for moving the blue/Keyan off and asteroid so they can shoot), which Opportuntist Keyan can usually finish. Keyan usually Target locked so his stress/focus was most effective otherwise Cracken gave him a focus if needed. Other than Cracken this list as did well out of formation. It wasn't perfect and I have gotten my butt kicked here and there but won more than lost and would've loved to try it at worlds but couldnt go. and of all my many lists Ive enjoyed flying this list in all its forms the most so try it out, pick it apart, or tell me what I fool I am in such a witty way I can laugh. Part #2 I'll explain what I found to be the best card storage for all size. As for the empty post shenanigans, I was just starting to writing this up as the **** cat jumped on the keyboard and then got a call so had to leave to take care of a small family matter. Enjoy
  19. Sounds fun, but I could see the importance of making sure the list builders have appropriate sub for each ship in the first squad so you can keep the totals close. For example say Round 1 the player only lost an Academy Pilot but has no other 12 point ship to replace now its a damaged 88 vs 100(with possibly fresh ships) pts , another way around this is allow upgrades to be added to existing ships if the player chooses so then it hits 100 or close enough. Otherwise Round 1 can snowball and cost you.
  20. Many different types my buddy pickup one up at the home Depot for $5
