So for you folks who play regularly, what is the best carrier case for the minis, rules and such.

I used to use the oft-mentioned Plano case. But then my fleet swelled to nearly 30 ships, including three-each of the Falcon and Slave I. Now I use a giant $70 multi-tiered tacklebox similar to the huge battlefoam carrying cases.

Any particular Plano case or are they all pretty much adjustable? I don't know where to pick one up aside from Amazon, so want to make sure it will work.

Just played a few games today with a buddy, and this list was hilarious: Han Solo -Luke Skywalker -Millennium Falcon Chewbacca -Nien Numb -Elusiveness This dmaned list bascially forces so many freaking rerolls it's not funny. Han and Luke is more reliable to putting damage out than Wedge.

Rules question: can Han Solo re-roll Luke's additional attack? If so, can he still do it if he also re-rolled the normal attack (that presumably missed, triggering Luke)? And any idea when the reprints are coming? Stuff for this can't seem to be had locally at all, and online only if you're willing to accept some mean price gouging.

Yes, this is why Han is better than a Target Lock. Looks like reprints are a ways out: http://www.fantasyflightgames.com/edge_upcoming.asp

Don't know if anyone is interested, but I put my collection of X-Wing minuatures (some of them literally unplayed) up on SAMart. It's got everything except interceptors. I've just got too many miniatures games for me right now.

So a friend of mine just split a starter box with me, i've one with Rebels and he's gone Imperial and we're confused, is the Tie Interceptor actually out yet? Given the impossibility of finding stock in Australia, we're not sure if its unreleased or just rare as hell to find one.

The TIE Interceptor is released, it was part of Wave 2 (TIE Interceptor, A-Wing, Falcon, Slave I). From what I've heard, its pretty hard to find anywhere now though.

Right now the only things that are easy to come by are core sets, wave one and large ships. They just did a reprint of wave one and are doing a reprint of wave two soon but right now they are very hard to find. If you want more ships picking up a second core set is a really good idea. Having a extra set of maneuver templates and dice is almost needed. Plus you will want more x-wing and tie models. The wave 1 x-wing/tie expansion are also pretty important to get. Especially for rebels, you will want wedge.

There's a shop near me that, for some reason, has a huge stock of TIE interceptors. It has 20. No A-wings, falcons, or slave 1s. Just squints. They're not marked up - just $15.  (I looked on ebay and they're not really worth going through the trouble of buying them in an attempt to make a profit. It just struck me as weird.)

Where on the globe are you? If you'd be willing and shipping isn't insane i'd love you to pick up 4 of the interceptors for me.

I don't know if I'm just dense or I missed it in the rulebook, but are we allowed "officially" to play empire vs empire or rebels vs rebels? Would there be any balance reasons against house ruling it? Do those official tournaments allow it? My inner 12 year old must know if Darth Vader or Boba Fett would win in a 1 on 1 space battle.

They have a separate document for tournament policy stuff. In an officially recognized tournament, players register a single squad, and random pairings means that there can and will be what they call "mirror matches". In casual play... who cares? Do whatever you want/have fun with.

This makes me so mad:  Rebel ships are still too expensive. That shuttle better have only 3 maneuvers on its dial.

The Wave 2 ships hit CSI on the 17th, and the Interceptors were sold out within 24 hours. The A-Wings are also already out of stock. Crazy. I managed to get the Wave 2 ships I didn't have along with a pre-order for the Wave 3 ships, but I can't believe they sold out of the normal-sized ships within 48 hours. Insane. Miniature Market still has A-Wings, but no TIE Interceptors.

alg posted:This makes me so mad: Its a 4 point difference, the B-Wing gets an additional maneuver and an additional equipment slot. I don't really see a problem with this. Its armor is two points less, but as you mentioned I bet that its maneuverability is way better than the Shuttle. Still its only 4 points and not really something to get angry about - at all.

I wouldn't except it's a common theme for Rebel ships to be over costed (besides the fact that the additional equipment slot is just another set of torpedoes).

Rebel ships always cost more, as there are fewer of them in play at any given time. Its not just an additional torpedo, its a whole different combination, there are only two that re similar between the two ships.

The people in my gaming club are about to join this game in force. I can't quite decide between making Empire or Alliance, though. I have played both and loved the maneuverability of the imperial ships. On the other hand, rebel ships have shields and seem able to take tons more upgrades. A combined A-wing and B-wing force must play so very cool...

I buy both so that I can just play my friends and they don't need their own army, but I also don't worry about tournament viability and all that (which is to say that I bought an extra TIE Advanced and was gifted an extra Y-Wing, but beyond gifts I'm not gonna buy more than one of any expansion).

There are some people in my group who only play one side, and complain about the price of the game. These are the people who try to borrow Stealth Devices.

I'm going to buy the starter so I'll end up with a few ships from the other side, but I'd rather focus on having several alternative of a single side. Between this, Infinity, 40k and Mordheim, money can get a bit tight, especially since my friends have been getting on my case about also getting Firestorm Armada. I'm leaning more toward Empire due to the aforementioned agility. Plus, if they ever release the Tie Experimental and the Assault Gunboat, I'll be a happy goon.

Do any of you Imperial players with multiple Tie expansions want to offload one of your howlrunner/backstabber/other guy card doubles. I have enough Ties through core sets and would rather toss someone here a couple bucks for their extras than buy another tie i dont need.

If anyone here is still having trouble finding TIE Interceptors or A-Wings, my FLGS just got a bunch in, and I'd be happy to negotiate some manner of cost+shipping deal with goons-in-need.
