    Depends on what your looking for  (Tray dimensions or number of trays), but anything that carries the 3700 series trays are good may I suggest the Plano 1374 the 3750 trays allow for large and small ships, you get four of them and the top bulk storage can fit both epic ships. Plano 7771 is also excellent with the 3700 trays for small ships that aren't that tall (Tie Fighters, Bombers, Advanced, Interceptors, Phantoms, X/Y/A/E-wings also fit) and its bulk storage has alot of room as well.

     

    If you haven't already I suggest using the search bar for this topic comes up very often and I've recommended the 1374 time and time again I have one for each faction. You can also see what others have recommended and compare.

     

    Hope this helps...

    Stay X-wing thirsty my friend

    It's not a bad idea.  I've been looking at a 99 point build with E'than Abhat and Salm + Flechettex2 + ICT that looked like it would work very well.  Looks like you have the same idea, except VI on Salm will guarantee he shoots before the phantoms.

     

     

    This actually came to mind for a 88 pt  Squad challenge where I'm expecting to face many players with phantoms.

     

    Yeah, there could be something to that. It won't be easy to get a shot with Flechette Torpedoes from a Y-Wing to a Phantom, but those babies should be in just about every Rebel squad right now.

     

    It's expensive, and it really needs a hard-hitting buddy or two. But I like it.

     

    Thanks, and yea but also keep in mind that the phantoms move first so they can cloak/BR out of your arcs and Range 3 gives you the most area to catch one

     

     

    Horton just screams for an EPT. I think ffg screwed the pooch having an expensive ps8 y-wing pilot with no EPT :(

    Yes I know about R2-D6 but it's kind of a slap in the face to pay an extra point plus lose the droid slot.

    Oh well, we'll just have to wait for the aces treatment for y-wings (seems odd though since Salm is basically like the best y-wing pilot in the fluff)

     

    amen

     

    Instead of VI I suggest R7-T1. The boost to change angle of attack will help get those torpedoes pointed in the right direction.

     

    But that means Horton moves first and shoots 2nd two things you dont want when facing phantoms....VI takes away their arc-dodging confidence and fills them with doubt

    My Flgs and group are about 45 mins away so for the drive there and back I spend the time brainstorming X-Wing I can up with this:

     

    Horton w/Ion Cannon Turret, R2-D6 + VI, and Flechette Torpedoes: 34 Points (Munitions Failsafe Optional)

     

    With a PS10 Horton can move after VI/ST/Decoyed Phantom and shoot first, w/ blank rerolls at Range 2 for the ion (thus they can't Decloak next turn if they use ACD and its perfect for already cloaked phantoms) but the best would be Hitting a Phantom with the Flechettes which shouldn't be hard since its 2 Agi vs. his rerolls of any blanks (even if they escape the munitions failsafe lets you try again)  If they survive then the stress prevents ACD from kicking in.

     

    Alot of points but Y-Wings have enough hull to last, this would be great paired with with VI Lando/Han or even VI Cracken (PS10+s) that always strike before Phantoms.

     

    What do you guys think?

    60 minutes is too short for the game.  if anyone plays a swarm of any type most likely those games won't finish.  frequently 75 minutes can be difficult to finish a game in.  I would advise you to strongly reconsider the time limit.  FF official rules place the limit at 75 minutes for good reason.

     

    I wish you the best of luck regardless.

     

    60 minutes is standard tourny time, that is the default time though I agree that its a stress on a swarm/slow player but thats something they have to consider before showing up.

    CoolStuffInc (http://www.coolstuffinc.com/) is where a lot of people order online. Small based ships are $9.99 and large based ships are $19.99, overall netting you a 33% discount off of MSRP. If you order over $100, or are based in Florida and close to one of their stores, you qualify for free shipping. I've have ordered from them many times and have always had a great experience.

     

    Miniature Market (http://www.miniaturemarket.com/) offers the same prices as CoolStuffInc, however, I like to order from CoolStuffInc more because I am also a board gamer and that really helps fulfill the $100 requirement for free shipping.

     

     

    I doubt that you have to be close to a Coolstuff store I live in NJ and get free shipping for $100+ orders that ship from FL so you should be fine anywhere in the US, though I've read that International fees apply.

    I've always been tempted by BF and would be conflicted if they ever did the 25% off sale again but until FFG stops putting out ships (hopefully never) my PERSONAL choice has been to hold off since

    1) atleast with Planos I can in theory sell them on craigslist or ebay and recover something.

    2) Large price difference, I'd rather just buy more ships I have a more than one plano and still cheaper.

    3) As speaking with mutliple BF users about half say foam is overdoing it and would rather have gotten plano(like) cases bc of #2 and durability of the minis.

     

    Now #3 might just be the grass is greener talking and to each their own and again not saying I haven't thought about it but just my two cents and reasoning behind it.

    I'm not entirely sure if all Barnes and Noble locations are doing this but I just visited one and scored gold. I nabbed 3 B-Wings, 3 TIE Fighters, a TIE Advanced, a TIE Bomber, and a Lambda shuttle all at half price. Cost me about $70. You all might want to check out your location just in case. Hope this tip helps. Good luck.

     

    Just curious but where are u located? correct me if im wrong but so far its been CA stores mostly

    Yes and it had highs and lows. You get to create the uber lists you've always dreamed of but at least in my case not all its cracked up to be.

     

    Though if you wanna plow through things may I suggest 4 shuttles w/ AS & HLC with Jonus thats 16 reds w/ 8 rolls I was killing a Named deck out falcon a turn and only half of my points.

     

    TL:DR Yes and its fun go try it out

    Someone with enough of these ships should film their game.  It will be very interesting to see this battle played out.  

     

     

    Interesting or very long and boring play it at 2x speed just to be safe

    My B&N in Layton, UT just put their stuff on clearance as of yesterday. The employee helping us said it was a corporate thing too, and they would no longer be carrying any X-wing stuff. Of course the other B&N's I called within a 50 mile radius had no clue what I was talking about. :huh:

    Just checked in nj again nothing I'm getting weird looks think I'll just call from now on
