End of an era (probably)
Saddens me what has become of X-Wing. Thanks for the years of informative content and entertainment
Recently picked up Skystrike Academy, Fury of the First Order, a Xi Shuttle, an extra TIE FO and SF, and Hotshots and Aces II to fill out my collections for both factions. Maybe one day I pick up a Decimator but never was a big fan
Empire collection fills up an entire tackle box. It's actually hilarious looking at how small my FO range is in comparison even after adding 6 more models to it
I guess squids are the big winners of X-Wing development ending. Everyone getting their discounted cephalopods.
I splurged and bought my own squidy boy. What a beast.
I collected mostly Empire, and a bit of Scum with a smattering of Rebels and Force Awakens starter. I just looked at the price of a Skystrike Academy box, and really wish I'd picked one up back when they were released. Kinda wish I'd gotten a Hound's Tooth and a Punishing One as well. Maybe if the market settles down over the years I can snag some.
That's a nice Squiddy Boy you've got there! I really wish they'd done more with Epic. I'd love to see some Epic scale stuff more in something narrative like Heroes of the Aturi Cluster. Maybe someone can cook something like that up as well?
I hope the x wing alliance will bring some balanced points to the extended ships. I have a big collection from first edition and a lot of it never sees daylight. Good to see you back.
Just finished fleshing out my FO faction. Picked up the Fury box, Von Reg's, and the Xi. Also got a Tantive IV, Fireball, a pair of Trifighters and the Rouge Class expansion. Only ships im missing is the Gauntlet, Mandalorian, resistance A wings and a couple of epic ships. Couldnt warrent more with picking up some armada product.
This video is so wholesome and hilarious so thanks!
Reminds me, I have not yet unboxed my Squidieboi.
But little incentive to do that without any local scene primarily, and secondarily no epic support.
Consequently though, while XWA has some limitations on what we can do currently with GT's going on, AMG never touched huge ships (despite promises otherwise), so that is fertile ground to really dig into sooner than later.
squidboi has a solo mode with ai cards...
I'm only missing one or two ships that I really want, mainly the Resistance Bomber. There's probably a few I'd like more copies of, but that feels less pressing.
My problem with 2.0 is that by the time it launched X-Wing stock had become almost invisible on all the FLGS shelves where I live and all the upgrade kits went out of stock on the website so I never even got the chance to change to 2.0.
That sucks. :( Horrible timing for something like that to happen.
Last week I bought 1x Punisher, 1x Miner TIE, 1x Wookie ship, 2x 2.0 Fangs. All new and unopened.
you found wookie ship?!
I'm very hopeful and fairly confident that one thing the x wing alliance will do eventually is support free 3D models for people to print at home or at a rented 3D printer. Not only will this allow us to reprint ships, but also start adding new ships
It's something they are going to have to be super careful with. Proxying potentially get's them into legal difficulties, as well as new designs.
@@HairyNick true. But I think so long as they don't accept any money for it or try to sell them, I think it would be safe.
You’ve gotta get a game in with that thing sometime soon! It plays very differently from a “traditional” epic ship and it’s so goofy I love it
Great to hear from you Nick! Oh man I could have gotten one of these at 50% off this weekend. Focused on my Armada items though.
Long live the squidy boy!
I did pick up a few items for the Battle Over Yavin. Invite friends over to the house to defeat the death star together! Let's do it.
I love a good copy of Mr. Tentacles.
Loving the soothing ASMR vibe here
Thankyou! In the last few videos I've really been tyring to calm down the energy and be more chill. I feel like it's closer to the way I actually talk and act and it makes the whole process just a little less stressful and a little easier to digest.
Got one never used it hope big ships will re happen the community takes over
Indeed! In the meantime you can always play with them in 2.0 or Legacy. But given there is no current structure for them in 2.5, we may be seeing them get implimented sooner rather than later. They don't have the same issue of having to wait for OP to end like other ships. :)
Sadly, community created ships will likely be a non-starter. Disney is way too protective of their IP to allow something like that. It's one thing if people just tweak the points, but as soon as you get into printing new cards or ships they will shut it down.
Yup, this is a factor as well.
I started buying xwing just before the second edition was released. 1.0 at the time had a bloated and confusing meta that intimidated me from playing at stores.
It certainly was an environment that heavily favoured the spikes over the new players.
I love the squid!!!
Thanks for the video. Nice ship, I was not aware you like the epic ship version. I have all the 1ed ships and copies as well and all the 1st ed epic ones. I have all the upgrade packs and some of the 2nd ed ships but since covid local play is no really abundant in my area. However I feel a rebirth --- maybe we can call it X-wing Phoenix edition. Love the ship nice format.
"Pheonix edition" has a real nice ring to it. Also, on brand!
If you ever do get a chance to look at one of these second edition Huge Ship boxes, the base and stands are MUCH higher quality than the 1.0 release (I have a 1.0 C-roc for comparison). Plus the movement tool is hard plastic. Felt really good value overall (especially because huge ships seem to be decently discounted atm).
Honestly I stopped playing when they fired the people who actually made the game and did a bunch of unnecessary and unwanted changes. Me and my friends play the base 2.0 rules from time to time and it's still one of the best games we've ever played. The fact you can take on a top meta list and surprise win with a dumpy list (while it's not in your favor) has always been a great sign for me.
Scalper prices might be not to your liking, but how do you feel about straight-up auctions which escalate into scalper prices?
Well... that depends and how much excalation we are talking? If you wanna see some horrid activity, just take a peak on the faviour SW Buy trade sell groups on Facebook and see what Armada stuff is selling for...
Either way, just let those sail on by.
@@HairyNick aye give it a few years. ebay price go up and down. older stuff can end up cheap once the rush to buy ends
We have definitely gone nuts... I put off buying stuff we wanted and I've since gone mad!
