    In my opinion there was a huge missed opportunity to add Rex to 501st and General Veers to blizzard force. Even give the invasion force a tactical droid to balance the boxes out.

    While I'm not personally interested in any of these battle forces now, I wish they had been around as a intro point when I got into the game, $150 for a full army would have been great.

    @StormtrooperYD 2 ปีที่แล้ว +55

    The Echo base box is far and beyond the best box hands down, so much value. 2nd has to be the Droid box, you don't need to split a core anymore just buy a BF and get the essentials

  • @raveninc87
    @raveninc87 2 ปีที่แล้ว +52

    Personally I feel that the separatist box was the best overall deal leaning towards new players because the purchase of two borders on the lines of competitive play and builds probably the Best of the separatist teams. The other three do not see the same Light But the rebel and clone army look to fit great with the original starter box. Empire was a major letdown in my opinion.

      I agree as well. And the empire set is a big let down. As an empire player. I got the at st first with my starter set. It for my army list is the big punch and takes down most of the enemy forces while my stormies capture objectives.

  • @kingbobb007
    @kingbobb007 2 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    While some of the choices are thematically puzzling, I think it’s undeniable what a clue these boxes are. Separatist players looking to get more B1s can add the rest of the units in the box not much more than the cost of the base B1s, and you can make a similar cost comparison to the other 3 boxes as well. I feel there’s only a very small segment of the Legion community that truly can’t get anything out of them, and that makes these really a superb addition to the range.

    Honestly, as a Rebel player, out of the Echo Base Defenders, I only have one Vet (plus Turrent) squad and Leia. So snatching up the Echo Base Defenders will be perfect for me! Chewie, R2, C3PO, 4 Rebel Vets, 2 Tauntauns (which are still amazing!), and the pizza turrent, which I always wanted to grab. And basically all of that comes around at half price. So Echo Base Defenders is a dream come true :)

    @madmerlinsart ปีที่แล้ว

    My favourite bit about the box arts for Rebs and Imps is Han on Tauntaun and Snowtrooper Speederbikes.
    I'm definitely buying (already pre-ordered) both of those and I'm even going all out to not only expand each force but to build a Skirmish table based on the Imperial assault on Echo base. Just need to decide on how to go about it and whether I want it on a separate board or the reverse of my Endor skirmish board. Either way I plan to convert what doesn't fully fit the sets theme (short sleeve Leia, Scout bikers) to make it fit more into the setting, really push my hobby skills to their limits.

    Looking forward to the buyers guide. Hopefully with people in mind who do not plan to buy the core set and jump in with one of these boxes directly.
