  1. You guys are awesome! If it comes to that I've been inspired donate as well.
  2. I have both the 1374 & 7771 The 1374 uses 4 of the 3750 Trays http://www.planomolding.com/product.php?PID=953 Which are 2 inches high with the bottom row being 6 large adjustable sections. you can fit 2 Falcons (3 sections each), 3 shuttles/firesprays (2 sections) or 6 hawks (1 section each) in that bottom row, I always cut the clamshell packaging to size so nothing moves. As for the top storage that'll give you approx. 14.25" X 8" so you can easily fit the CR90 when it comes out, currently its holding two more 3750 trays The 7771 comes with 4 of the 3701 trays, and maybe a 3500, cant remember http://www.planomolding.com/product.php?PID=749 Which is 1.38 in High, so that cant fit large ships (Amazon says it's interchange with any 3700 series but its not) but max number of compartments is 35 so you can easily fit 35 ships per tray. Xs, Ys, As, Tie Bombers/Interceptors/Advanced all fit wonderfully with this tray once again with the clamshell cut to size. (The Tie Fighter fits but a very tight fit so I kept it in the 3750 trays) The large area right of the trays can fit a 3504 http://www.amazon.com/Plano-Spinner-Bait-Removable-Racks/dp/B001U4W120/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1399127757&sr=8-3&keywords=3504 or 3 3500s http://www.planomolding.com/product.php?PID=945 As for the Top storage the Center is app 9.25" X 9.5" so you can fit about 2/3 GR75s depending on how you cut the clamshell, The left area is about 5.25" X 9.5" and holds 2 Plano 3500s or I imagine another GR75. The right comes with dividers that make 4 5.375" X 2-2.75" X 3" Tall section thats I use to store all my dials. The exterior has alot more storage than the 1374 and holds all my tokens. They actually both compliment each other rather well, Hope this helps! TL:DR the 1374 holds larges ships not the 7771, but 7771 has more storage options. I had done my HW before buying and thats why I went with the 3700 series, For game nights/Events/Tourney a single 3750 can hold just about any list plus are cards, tokens, dials, and maneuver templates it also fits perfectly in my small fully packed camelbak so its great for traveling.
  3. I doubt I'm the first but i did a search and got nothing, so this was just put up http://www.fantasyflightgames.com/edge_news.asp?eidn=4794
  4. man you guys took all the good (ewok glider, sail barge) ones alright and i keep getting ninjaed... how about that stupid cloud city cop thingy? Storm IV Twin-Pod cloud car http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Storm_IV_Twin-Pod_cloud_car
  5. For whoever cares: I noticed that some planos are on sale at amazon I know the 1374 & 7771 are for sure and it looks like its a fishing equipment sale so maybe other tackle boxes are on sale too. Happy Hunting
  6. I think I'm gonna upgrade my current Plano box to this one. Nice you may also be interested in the Plano 7771 the center console has an opening of around 9" x 9" too small for the vette but should hold 2/3 transports just fine, though note that the 7771 comes with 4 3701 trays which has a smaller height than the Plano's 1374 trays (3750) That's a nice case. I just got one to store my tokens cards, dials etc. Nice I have one for each faction and filling fast.
  7. both will fit in the top section of the plano 1374 https://www.google.com/search?q=plano+1374&rlz=1C1CHMO_enUS552US552&es_sm=93&tbm=isch&tbo=u&source=univ&sa=X&ei=rgVfU7SMOpHnsASNiYFY&ved=0CDQQsAQ&biw=1280&bih=635 happy hunting
  8. Considering how they handled the Transport pre-orders it MAY and i stress the may be sooner. For the transport then didn't start taking orders until around the 4/22 and it's getting released now so hopefully they might just release the vette within a week or so from now. Happy Hunting
  9. Nope X-Wing is pretty much just a complex version of Rock-Paper-Scissors hence sometimes you might be stronger other times no but that just comes with the turf. Thats where forward thinking, good flying and smart tactics can save the day. Hence I said make a list your comfortable with then keep flying it til you feel you know what your doing.
  10. Personally it's a solid list, but if you like B-Wings may I suggest my list 3 Blue's + Advanced Sensors Roark + Ion Turret I'm no where near a Vet and I don't play vassal I've only been playing for alittle less than 6 months and only about played about 8/9 games max before making this list. But since then I've gone 16 Wins to 4 Loses, 2 Store Championships and 4th place. It's not the perfect list nor am I the perfect player but I feel that 3 B-Wings are the way to go, I choose Advanced Sensors because they can very forgiving for someone new or getting used the B-wing and because I much prefer short-range it I'm prepared for inevitable bumps while most of the time my opponents suffer and Barrel-rolling before you move is amazing! Also while Target lock is nice I always because w/ PS2 I'm usually shot first so Focus gives me the flexibility that I could use it defensively to save a near-death Blue and as someone mentioned if you have to change targets it's wasted. Roark allows me to always decide who shoots first (PS12 to a Bwing), while the ion turret is great against enemy low Agility ships, like B-Wings after the first pass I neutralize them for a turn or two while my b's focus on pressing threats or I K-Turn behind and ionize them until their dead (cruel & frustrating yet effective). The Hwk's 4 Hull 2 Agility surprisingly has a higher survival rate than I first imagined. I prefer 4 ships to 3 since I have 29 hull/shield points and its less of a loss if I lose one (usually Roark will live until second round of shots while my Blue pound away for two rounds) But by all means play both see what fits you but advice that I've learned from this list is 1) Always start in a tight formation: you can always barrel roll 3/4 of your squad if you want to avoid area/splash 2) Always focus fire on one target and finish the kill 3) Always start from a corner. 4) If you feel you have a solid list than stick with it learn the in's and outs and remember one bad game of dice doesn't mean you got a bad list. I've played exclusively with my list since I made and recently I've been able to pull off tougher victories because I know exactly what I can/can't do. 5) Play to win and your very best but always Fly Causal, plenty of people are so keep it and if not then set the example, when I'm winning I always makes jokes at my expenses, when I'm losing I always try to laugh if off (usually with jokes at my expense) Happy Hunting Solid Advice, last time I fought Bs I ran into with FCS I would make the target bump the lock holder then Ion them.
  11. or add 25 Jan +5 Ion Turret +2 Squad Leader +1 Intelligence Agent/Nien Numb Jan can make Keyan roll 5 red dice plus squad leader will keyan. Total 99 so you can still add determination or R2/R5 mechs
  12. 2 Ideas 29 Wes Janson 29 Keyan Farlander +4 Opportunist +3 Advanced Sensors 28 Ibtisam +3 Push the limit +3 Advanced Sensors Total: 99 Points Giving the Bs options is paramount, 2 Bs is plenty of shields to let them chew through, plus Ibby each round can either take 2 actions then move green or a nongreen move then gain her rerolls either way so every round your covered esp. with the game moving to a stress-filled game. or 29 Wes Janson 29 Keyan Farlander +4 Opportunist 19 Roark G. +5 Ion Cannon Turret 12 Bandit Squardron Z-95 Total 98 Points Roark lets you ionize during the first pass so they can't immediately K-turn and allows you great flexibility in either killing that PS9+ or any weaken ship before they shoots or making sure the bandit can fire before the meta's avg of PS4, Regardless the bandit is a blocker which should help Keyan get more reds. Personally I like the 2nd list because it with the blocker, ion & PS12 i feel it can handle larger number of lists. With 1 or 2 Points leftover, most of the time Init. is yours or you can add to Wes: +2: Stress inducing R3-A2/target locking R5-K6 (100 Points but Roark will help offset this) or +1 for R2/R5 astromechs and/or determination on Wes(or Intelligence agent on Roark which would help with blocking) Happy Hunting
  13. FFG hasn't disappointed me yet so I'm GUESSING here but the transport should take some damage if not all to prevent abuse.
  14. Hey I'm a regular there and yeah Sean is a really really cool guy last week we celebrated our 1 year as a group and he gave out personalized swag, from all the sets, in addition to crunch the statistics on for everyone whos ever played one game with us. Cool guy as does alot for the group. (also cupcakes too) Come join us for causal games and lots of laughs. https://sites.google.com/site/cnjxwing/ The crew at Comic Fusion are real cool and highly recommend them for anything. http://www.comicfusion.com/ As for other LGS shoutouts: The owner of Six Feet Under Games in New Holland, Pa is a super nice lady who runs her store & tournaments super well. Nice people there and she gives a **** about the players. http://www.sixfeetundergames.com/ The workers at Golden Eagle Game, Reading, Pa were really cool as well as the X-Wing group (Nigel & Brett great fly casual guys) Top Deck Games, Westmont, NJ nice store Joe who runs the group, awesome guy treated me like a regular my only time there. I
  15. Roark is so underrated I run him w/Ion Turret, 3 Blues w/ Advanced Sensors, currently I'm at 11-1 (won two store champs) time and time again his ability has saved my skin and counter balances the low PS. I literately just finished from a 2v2 75points per person game about an hr ago, I had 2 Blues w/ Roark vs. 6 Interceptors (Soon, Turr, Carnor, Kir, Tetran & Lorrir) I was able kill 3 Interceptors before they could return fire.
  16. That averages 4 evades against the first attack, and just under 3 thereafter. While good it is regrettably touchable...(It will murder Tie Swarms though...) How do you figure? Sure you aren't always at range 3 and stealth will wear off. But mid game, range 2 you still have 4 defense dice with the droid AND a evade token.. I also think getting that first hit (naturally) to take stealth off would be difficult. Opening salvo even range 2 will be 5 dice + focus or evade. Thats nothing to scuff at IMO. Sensor Jammer could help with this, either forcing them to take & burn focus, (sorry tie swarm no focus/evade for your defense) or lose a hit every attack. I stress could because considering how many points you've already sunk theres a good chance they will be gunning for you anyway. Garven, Kyle or Airen should be able to help though.
  17. Have you considered switching Elusiveness & Shield Upgrade for Push the Limit & Stealth Device EPTs: Elusiveness is more in the spirit of slippery and while both stress you, Push the limit allows you to decide when and how you receive the stress, which at first doesn't seem like much but your future maneuvers can be more preemptive instead of reactive hence during the planning round you can decide the right maneuver knowing that you will be this round stressed. This also allows her ability to kick into from the beginning of the round so even if your not attacked or attacked by a lower PS your attacks benefits from the reroll. Double actions are amazing, you can do any combination of target lock, focus & barrel roll. I fly 3 Bs and can't stress enough how good barreling rolling out of arcs/behind astroids can be plus the 1 her reroll is effectively a Target lock Lite. So even if you barrel roll for positioning, take focus for defense (see below) you still have something to help the attack. Modifications: I know I know Stealth on a 1 Agility ship is stupid but now you can maximize her abilities potential. Plus Sensor Jammer itself either forcing them to take & burn their focus (which either helps your attack or hurts theirs). This in combo w/ Push the limit can even allow you to use Target Lock/Barrel roll for offensive/positioning and take focus for defense. Granted the dice goddess is fickle (only a woman can cause me THAT much grief) but 1 extra green + 1 reroll + Sensor Jammer + possibly focus gives you a hell of fighting chance to keep stealth thus possible Return of Investment for 3 points compared to a guarenteed lost after one hit for me is clear. ...that came out longer than I planned well thats because I'm..... http://community.fantasyflightgames.com/index.php?/topic/102754-obsessed-with-this-game/ tl:dr same point cost but different way of achieving slipperiness.
  18. same here, I always got 5/10 minutes to kill on the bus to/from class
  19. umm (sharpie) painted the token and templates... bought 3 plano boxes... will completely fill atleast 2...have way more ships than I could possibly field... traveled far distances to play in store championships... spent a large amount of time watching games/on forums... got ultra pro doubled sided, side-loading card pages in a special binder... afraid to one day add up the total cost til then i'm blissfully ignorant..... P.S. Im sure theres something I missed tl:dr I've spent alot time/money on it and good (sad?) part is I don't see this addiction stopping...
  20. I'm assuming you ran the same BBBH squad at both stores? Got rough attendance numbers? Sorry Major it was late yup same list for both, and for Reading, PA it was 4 players and for Flemington, NJ we had 11 players
