I love the thought of not having to buy more ships just to get certain upgrade cards that I dont have or certain pilots I can just buy this package with all these cards plus it's at a reasonable price as well Can't wait to buy this
The quick builds have certainly improved in recent waves, more competitive and balanced towards synergy. It's almost as if they are running the cards by larger pool of players before release
I wish they'd put some shield tokens they forgot to add to the conversion kits on there instead of the evade/focus/calculate/charge/... tokens everyone ends up having plenty anyway.
This is really great, though the one little problem is only 2 s-foils when 3 B-wings will be a thing you need for epic. I don't think most people will care about proxying it for the third ship, I hope.
I jumped in after getting the starter for Christmas. I now have a shamefully huge rebel collection and my wife has a similar sized scum collection to boot. So will have to get this as well. lol
Am not overly happy that the B-Wing's S-foil Card doesn't come with the ship despite it being launched well after the Moving X-Wings with their dedicated S-Foil cards. I have 3 B wings so I either can't use all 3 or I have to buy 2 copies of this.
I agree, had to buy 2 packs just for the s-foils. A lot better than first edition, having to buy a bunch of star vipers for the upgrades, but still lame FFG
well, for those who were hoping to run 3 b-wings with foils, guess they need a second pack now. overall though nice to get new pilots for already fun ships
Not bad! Looking forward to getting this soon! I wonder: now that this is out, will they have more of these sorts of packs in the future? I'm thinking of one I'd love to see, called perhaps something like "From a Certain Point of View," that would have "unexpected" pilots on different ships, sometimes cross-factionally, to reflect odd situations and such that have occurred in the various films and other media. For example, Poe and Finn in a TIE SF; Finn and Rose in that Xi shuttle, or such odd things as Luke and Han in a Y-Wing, like in the cartoon from the Holiday Special, etc. To reflect some of the unusual situations that have happened in the canon...and to give a bit more variety to the game! If they come with appropriate cardboard in each case, then the ship tokens can align with the faction of the pilots, and thus you could get a Poe and Finn TIE alongside a Rey Falcon, etc. It would make for some interesting gaming, certainly!
Your thoughts on the quick build cards got me thinking...I'm a new player and I started playing Legion at the same time I started playing x-wing. In legion, i absolutely love the condition/objective cards. It really makes each game unique and not just see who can destroy all of the other team first...I think something similar in X-wing could add a huge boost to it's fun factor...what are your thoughts on something like that?
Check out the other two card packs that are coming, the Obstacles pack and the Devices Pack. They both have 6 cards that change the set-up and add some rules to the game. Unlike Legion, they're entirely optional but they look fun for casual games. As for objectives, a buddy and I ended up talking about it for a good couple hours and came to the conclusion that as much as we normally hate 'Kill each other' as the objective for tabletop games, it works pretty well for a dog-fighting game like X-wing. If you want to switch it up every now and then, the Epic Battles expansion has a a bunch of missions with actual objectives and most of them can be played with the normal two people.
Crabbok, our X-WIng group uses infinitearenas.com for when we play quick build events. It has a quick build squad builder that lists the upgrades and rules printed on the pilot card, along with other tools. Makes it handy for other events where we are only bringing 1 ship, like aces high, so you only have your print out and tokens.
I haven't been getting any of the Clone Wars sets that have come out, so I didn't know about any of those force upgrades. They're all really interesting, and I'm suddenly really interested in picking this up. A lot of those other upgrades and the B-wing S-foils look pretty neat too! Also, the release of this seems pretty smart, because some people who buy it may get a sort of sneak peek at ships that may not have interested them before, possibly making them buy expansions they never would have considered previously.
Those were originally supposed to be released today, so I had preordered them from FFG. However, they just recently got pushed back, so now I have to wait for them to ship from FFG. This whole wave has been incredibly bizarre.
FFG can you update the mandatory app that we need to play this game please? You had 5 months to do that from wave 5.... (yes I’ll just use yasb for now)
Thanks for shouting out Darren Tan! He's amazing! :)
Oh ya!

Can't wait to buy this
FFG busts through the door: HOW THE HELL DID YOU GET THIS?!?!?
But seriously, how did you get this so early?!
@@jonbasel7090 Barnes and Noble broke street date (again).
@@MegaSilver I do remember Crabbok saying that, just didn't believe he'd get it next day or two! Pretty impressive.
Crabbok, sooo many people saying we need more S-foil cards when what we REALLY need are S-foil TOKENS for B-wings from the homies at Luxury Playstyle!
I like everything about these sets, but especially getting new pilots and cardboard for existing ship models.
People are gonne be splitting these up and trading half of the pack
Yeah I am!

I hope K2so will work well on an ARC 170
Thank you for this, helps me make up my mind on purchasing it. Yes I will be lol
Definetely a must have.
except for Ten and maybe Bray...the b wing s foil doesn't wow me too much.
The Stabilized S-Foils is going to be a game changer for B-Wings in the meta
Can’t wait for all the pilots especially the FO and Leia/K2. Also, the bwing sfoils are here! Hurray.
I jumped in after getting the starter for Christmas. I now have a shamefully huge rebel collection and my wife has a similar sized scum collection to boot. So will have to get this as well. lol

Or just buy some s-foil tokens.
I think this one is a must buy! I wonder if there will be another way to get b-wing foils in the future
I guess it's not the worst thing to have cards for factions I'll never play?
A little disappointed that it only comes with 2 B-wing S-foils, may have to get a second pack to unleash killer B swarm
I agree, had to buy 2 packs just for the s-foils. A lot better than first edition, having to buy a bunch of star vipers for the upgrades, but still lame FFG
well, for those who were hoping to run 3 b-wings with foils, guess they need a second pack now. overall though nice to get new pilots for already fun ships
Only really need the card for reference and get some sfoil tokens
I love those SFoils.
Not bad! Looking forward to getting this soon!

the art is always great
Really wish they included a 3rd S-foil for the B-wing.
if you have both sides reinforced, and an enemy in both arcs, the player with initative decides which arc it targets.
want those S-foils but i have barely any of those other ships.
i wonder if they'll do a second set if this sells well
So these cards are in game add on I think I might need these
Desperately awaiting an update on YASB 2.0 for the Silencer pilot....
For Zizi Tlo, if you shoot first, can you spend the charge before the modify dice step or after the whole attack step?

Miniatura Market still holds my preorder!! I can’t buy from B&N, because they don’t ship Internationally
I waited too long and the preorders sold out. I stopped in there today and they're only bringing 8 to the physical store too, hoping to snag one!
I like your idea for the quick build cards... too bad you dont work for FFG. Having to dig out the cards is the whole reason I dont use quick build.
Hello there

Too early for this pack but looking forward to seeing spice runner Poe in a future expansion
I can't help but feel they should have put more than two stabilised s-foils in the pack.
Glad I ordered 2 of these...triple d's in the future
Where are the turret indicators for those a-wings?!?
The RZ-2 comes stock with a turret instead of a main gun, so the indicators are in the normal packs and the Resistance conversion kit.
It needs less charge tokens and more shields.
More charge and more deplete
I haven't been getting any of the Clone Wars sets that have come out, so I didn't know about any of those force upgrades. They're all really interesting, and I'm suddenly really interested in picking this up. A lot of those other upgrades and the B-wing S-foils look pretty neat too!

Did you get the other two expansion, Never tell me the odds and Fully Loaded Device. When the unboxing of those your gonna upload?
Those were originally supposed to be released today, so I had preordered them from FFG. However, they just recently got pushed back, so now I have to wait for them to ship from FFG. This whole wave has been incredibly bizarre.
My Barnes and Noble hasn’t even got wave 5 yet...
i want a card pack for armada
FFG can you update the mandatory app that we need to play this game please? You had 5 months to do that from wave 5.... (yes I’ll just use yasb for now)
For quick builds you can use this site to get it all on one card!
