Coming in a bit late but the best purchase is another core set. You'll get 2 X Wings, 4 TIE fighters, an extra set of dice, extra components at a much lower cost as buying separates
I'm completely new and looking to buy, so perhaps you could answer a question. Does buying two core sets mean that you have duplicate characters and upgrade cards? Would this take away from the game? It seems like a good value, but I would like a variety of characters and actions.
@@abelb.7997 just started playing and got 2 core sets, would recommend. Yes you have duplicate characters, however each ship has multiple choices of character.
For example, there are 4-5 tie pilots. But you only get 2 tie fighters. So you will have more than enough characters. You get to use red Six and Red five if you have 2 xwings etc etc.
Plus, each ships has extra cards that come with it. Abilities and wotnot. So having 2 core sets means lots more cards sooo if you eventually get more ships, you will have spare cards to upgrade and edit them to your pleasure. And lastly, with the range ruler you will have 2. This means if you cut the range one off of one then you effectively have a range 1 2 and 3 ruler.
So yes would defo recommend 2 core sets it's heaps of fun and very good for the price :)
@@hugoo5011 that makes sense. Thanks for the reply!
If there is a b wing and an a wing on the bottom of that shirt I will literally buy it for the joke
Thanks for continuing to put out great content! I’ve been watching videos this whole quarantine and going through all of your back catalogue.
I just picked up X-wing and have been playing a lot on Fly Casually to get a grasp of the rules and how the game works at the suggestion of a local player, and having played most of the rebel ships, the B-wing has become a surprise favorite.
If you don’t have any 1.0 ships and/or you don’t care about having the miniatures than the conversion kits are the best way to get a TON of ships fast. The scum and villainy conversion kit alone gives you i think 39 maneuver dials with at least 2 of each ship type. Plus the massive amount of upgrade cards adds a lot of options, as if the huge number of ship options weren’t enough. Only issue is you will have to find your own bases for the ships, as it pretty much comes with none. But for only $45 it’s absolutely a steal. Conversion kits are objectively the best way to get the bang for your buck. For reference, if you wanted to buy 39 ships separately (let’s give it the *generous* rounding of $15 per ship) it would cost AT LEAST $585! Versus just buying a conversion kit and a few bases for AT MOST $100.
TLDR: just buy conversion kits, nothing else. And a few bases. Unless you can’t resist the 500 dollar plastic.
I am fairly new and been dabbling with most of 2.0 ruble fleet. I watch the 1.0v of this video, and been hung up on whether to buy a conversion kit. This was a great intro video. Thank you
I still need to pick up the new B-Wing. Such a great model
Love this guy!!! The basics and no hype or bs!!!! I watch and saved these.
I’d recommend the core set falcon and one other ship the falcon gives you lots of options to fill up points while still being decent.
I just picked up core set 1.0 and Falcon 1.0 off market place for $10. Just started collection Thank you for this video
Great video! I started playing x-wing a couple months ago and really appreciate your videos, especially these "buy first" budget lists. Funny, I thought the same thing about the Ghost but got into watching Rebels (due to excitement of playing this game lol) and now I want a Ghost reeeaally bad! lol
Been meaning to get into X-Wing for a wile this really helped. Keep up the great content!
Awesome, thanks for this. Helps me plan out my future purchases for my rebels!
This is the video I've been waiting for!
Really enjoying these what to buy videos!
Just started. Phoenix cell and core set are a great buy. Keep up the good work.
I think the B-wing miniature is the most amazing ship of second edition
Good info for first timer. Good run through vs 1.0 and 2.0 ships. Had no idea 2.0 ships have moveable s-foils and gyro scope on the B-Wing(s)
This video was great... i have been playing/collecting Imperials andnI was waiting to see what you suggested for Rebels. FYI.. Inbound the Saw's Renegades set for $29.99 on Amazon.
The ghost is one of my favorites.
I got that Saw's Renegades 1.0 set for $17, I dont play that faction a lot but it was too good to let go. The one time I flew them I really liked it but playing $40 for the 2.0 just to have extras feels like a hit. Good to know I made a good purchase.
Hello! i have been subscribed to your channel for some time now and enjoy your videos. your channel has helped me play x-wing. especially when i have questions i can refer to your videos for the answers. as i am a star wars minis gamer i am not into legion so much except to get the ATT and Sabre clone tank which might be a little big, but works!
thank you for the reviews and also based on your reviews i have converted my 1.0 game to 2.0. my only issue is the pilot Juno Eclipse was not included in 2.0
You sir had me at “Wedge Antilles is THE man.” Yes. Yes he is.
What a coincidence I just bought the conversion kits for Empire and rebel and huge ships as well as the course set starter just last week they should be arriving soon
All these videos are really cool and I enjoy them a lot
Love these. Keep ‘me coming!
Great vid. Looking forward to your vid on republic and seps
Got to get that core set. Haven’t started playing x wing yet
Going to my local hobby store today to get it.
@@OverboardDM And how are you liking it a year later? :D
Just getting into X Wing. These videos are so helpful! Unfortunately I cant get past picking my favorites first. So, a core set, the Millennium Falcon, Slave I, and a freshly pre-ordered Razor Crest round out my first purchases.
I just got in it today. Did the same. Got all my favorite ships. Then went back and bought whatever the store had next for the sake of having ships. Lol. Ended up with getting a lot. Way to much. Need to start slowly and not get overwhelmed in stuff.
I’m with you on B-Wing being my favorite ship in all of SW. The LAAT has got to be my second.
Nice video serie, both for xwing or armada. I've been looking for these games, trying to decide witch one I prefer to get into, and you help me a lot, thank you.
Just getting into x wing
Got 2 core sets tie interceptor / advanced a wing / B wing Y wing 🤔 now trying to figure which way to go lol
Video: "What to buy on a budget"
The Sponsor: "$100 cooler version of tokens you already have!"
Which is EXACTLY why you need to save your money! If you're only gonna have 1 ship it had better look like a boss!
@@Crabbok I think what he means is that what you’re saying is kinda opposites of each other. I understand it is a sponsor tho. So you get payed to direct ppl there.
Great video! I’m going to use your republic video to help get a buddy into the game, once you get to that faction.
With the new starter boxes I’d be curious to see a new what to buy first video
I was waiting for this video
i got a really good Deal on Ebay, 80€ for 2x starter sets, the skystriker Academy and Phoenix cell. 80€ for 12 ships and a shitload of cards, enough dices etc. also got the falcon for 22€ on discount and its a blast.
amazing video! thank yo
I love the ghost
Im starting and this (and Emp) video help a lot :D
I was seriously considering getting into this game but seeing the size of the miniatures vs the price, I can't spend that much money on such small items! But it looks cool.
If day get the core set and then the new phoenix cell pack to fill out ur collection and get some cool new ships, and then either saws renegades, cuz if value and another X-Wing, (and a support ship w/ the u wing) or a twinge, cuz of the y wing upgrades in phoenix cell and it is also a decent ship, but not nearly as much value. All for under 100 bucks. I like this list, but some of the new stuff is also good. For may 2020 I agree with it. Great vid
I have been buying ships that I didnt even have because the conversion kits have SO much cardboard that I have been buying old ships on amazon and ebay and as soon as they come popping out the conversion stuff and boom I have a new ship its pretty crazy but it does work. I would love another U wing maybe ill get the Renegades
Leaving a comment on this or any of your other Videos!
i want to learn more about the convertions kit
Ngl - his take on the ghost growing on him, same, lol
Thank you
Would love to see some Luxury Playstyle tokens for Legion!
Well for me mine was I got an X-wing as a gift then got a y wing and b wing 75% off then a falcon and 2 a-wings
Still love your videos! Please keep it up!!
I love your Millennium Falcon cockpit background, where did you get it?
I was lost looking at everything for it. So this video was perfect. Thanks! Is your shirt the konami code? Lol. Thats amazing
Yup! It’s one of the shirts I have in my t-shirt ships in the links in the video description
Hay, that Great and cool learning basic It in etc.that different good day .
I see your videos so many time and only today i subscribe, sorry for the delay. Abraços e....
Keep up with the good work.
PLEASE release one of these for the galactic republic. Or you could wait until the LAAT/I drops.
I wonder if they have started production on the rebels sequel.
Please can you do a list of pilots and updates for an x-wing, y-wing and b-wing?. I have these three ships because I love art of them. It doesn't have to be a very competitive list, it's just for fun. I'm a newbie.
I’m returning to X-Wing after quitting a little before the 2.0 launch. After getting the conversion kits am I getting the same upgrade and pilots I would if I was to rebuy 2.0 ships?
Would love to know what Extended ships you'd recommend in order. For all factions. Also, haven't seen any FO or Resistance guides, not sure if those are in the works?
Love the videos!
I think the Y-Wing is a great beginner ship, but yeah shame about the model.
I’m a noob without much money and I got the core set, x-wing then two y-wings.
I’m finding a XXYY list pretty solid when you’re learning, though I want to try XXBB.
How many Hotshots and Aces should I buy? Is it better to have two?
Im just starting X-wing and this was really helpful! Hope I get that giftcard so I can grow my rebel force lmao
Have saw Guerrera expansions
This was more a how to convert from 1.0 on a budget!
Rebelia :D My first fraction
Just getting into game and video initially seemed very helpful but couldn’t finish because of the sheer amount of ads that kept interrupting the video.
ive been on the fence with this game. Im a big IA fan. But you may have convinced me.
I caved in. I bought the core set 2.0
Do Republic next!
Waiting for all 7 videos
Man in with you with the ghost.... the first time you see its basically a flying brick but then you love that flying brick if you see the show..... and the plus of it was designed based on a B17 flying fortress give her more character too....
PD now im just buying a ship here, a ship there (because im not have for now friends to play this game) but i have a little question:
I love the Arc 170 and absolute adore the rebel Arc 170, because its awesome and i love clone wars or older ships refitted on New eras etc (like in Corea when you have ww2 corsairs and jets in the same war) but my question is:
Día the upgrade ship pack for rebels have those conversions for the Arc 170? Or its only for 1.0?
The ghost is so cool... even my 8 year old cousin bought it as a toy! (Odd, I know)
Falcon!
I still can't believe I've never jumped into X-wing. I've got most everything for Armada, save the two newest big ships that just came out a few months ago, but I've kept my distance from X-wing, mostly for budget and time reasons. (Sadly, I'm not getting to play most of the games...so many games...that I've bought the last few years...but the collections keep growing for "someday".) And Armada is already my starship minis drain...can't support two right now.
One of the reasons that I've stayed out is because I know me and my OCD. At some point, I'd feel the need to have an entire squadron (12 fighters) of each of the starfighters (at least the Original Trilogy fighters...X, Y, A, B...TIE/ln, TIE X1 Advanced, TIE Bomber, & TIE Intercepter)...and that's a lot of ships that I'll never likely be able to field at once when/if I ever got to play. But still...maybe someday I'll jump in and be able to be satisfied with just an element (2 fighters) or flight (4 fighters) of each ship.
Seriously, you should see the OCD way I'm buying Armada. I've named every ship in my fleets and I'm trying to get enough squadrons to match the carry capacity of each ship and naming each of those squadrons. It's been tough because it is hard to find Imperial and Rebel squadrons right now. I know I still need quite a few Imperial squadrons since I picked up the Super Star Destroyer (Imperator) which carries two full TIE wings (6 squadrons to a wing = 12 squadrons). I stumbled across an Imperial Starfighters pack last month...so I think I just need one more pack as I'm 7 TIE squadrons shy of having physical squadrons for every Imperial capital ship capacity. OCD is tiring and budget-breaking...
At least Rebel starfighter wings are only 3 squadrons each...though I think I still need another Rebel Starfighter pack to load out my Rebel capital ship capacity too.
I’m pretty astonished that lots of basic stuffs like the squadron in armada is constantly out of stock. it's like ffg doesn't really care about this game anymore or something. i was a long time xwings player and eyed for armada for a long time and recently had made resolution to dive into it and no... lots of things are nowhere to be found and i'm giving up now. i really love the big ships and owning a ISD miniature is like my childhood dream but no, it's out of stock now.
Sounds like everything but OCD, sorry.
@@ActionHeinz The "collector OCD", not the clinical kind. =)
Plastic-Crack addiction if you prefer.
Why do the Really big ships not show up in the squad builder?
The really large (designated "huge") ships are for a completely different game mode called "Epic". The official app does not have an option for it for some reason. Give LaunchBayNext a try. It's a free squad builder that has an option for Epic play which will let you choose the huge ships.
If I have a 1.0 core set, do I need the conversion kit to use those original ships with 2.0. I am planning to buy the 2.0 core set as well. Just wondering. Thanks.
1 other question, can you use the Tie Fighters from set 1 with set 2 or do you need the conversion kit for that as well?
So I have all of these except for Saws Renegades (I played 1.0). I was waiting till it came out for 2.0 but now I’m wondering if I should just get the 1.0 one with the 2.0 content...
FFG said that any re-releases wouldn't have anything new in them that is not found in the expansion pack/already put. So the only differences between a 1.0/2.0 Saw's Renegade and an only 2.0 would be the X-Wings would most likely close their wings better and the cost. 2.0 has a 25% mark up on all 1.0 ships. So a 40 buck 1.0 pack will be 50 msrp in 2.0. I highly recommend getting the older one, especially if you can find it for 30ish.
Tie fighter x wing t65 starter... And rebel tie fighter ...rebel and empire
hi there I'm new here I was wondering if anyone would make a suggestion as to what ships to get even willing to try different factions
Still waiting for the clone wars what to buy 😆
I don't know how anyone else feels about it, but I play casually and this 2.0 thing has sort of pushed me away, the old ships have started going up in price so I can't buy those, and I don't really understand what 2.0 does differently regarding backwards compatibility....
Thanks for the helpful video. By the way... its may
Where would the Phoenix cell squadron pack fit in on this list now that it came out
Very high.
@@Crabbok does the same go for the squadron packs of empire and scum?
@@megajam4604 Yeah they all have so many cards and options they are just great overall
@@Crabbok thanks so much for answering my questions, you got a new subscriber :)
hello there
Never played x wing
April???? you Meen may
Wow... yeah these 3 months have just blended together. I'm gonna call it MarPrilMay
Okay. Learn how it is all works game basic Left. ,right, front back things moves of games shield ,engineer , how it is played Like checker & chest short games like on checker boards just basic okay.
YT-2400: Am I a joke to you?
Basically you are saying just buy it all.
Not at all. I'm ranking things in order of what you should buy
Ah yes. The core set. Hyperspace markers. . .
Just get 2 Falcons... Than your set.
On budget...buy cross faction ships
You should mention in the beginning the formats as well. Extended and Hyperspace.
Hyperspace format was originally designed for new players but now it's such a shit format design it makes these types of videos nearly useless. Which is a shame because they're really helpful.
But depending on your community it could be "bad" advice. Like how you mentioned Wedge eventhough he's currently banned.
If your community plays extended then this advice is sound.
I'm very biased against the hyperspace format. So much so I truly believe it could kill the game. It's overly restrictive and will push new players away who will buy a ship they love then learn they can't play it.
I'm not talking about hyperspace in these videos at all because it changes too frequently to really mention in a video that's going to be viewed presumably for years. Newer players probably won't be playing in competitive events anyhow - though I do absolutely understand your point here.
@@Crabbok My community isn't the best and likes to play competitive majority of the time and even do "casual" game nights as hyperspace practice.
I don't think you should go into detail on the formats because that's not the point of the video, but letting new players/budget be warned that there are different formats and that this video is designed for a format called "Extended" (also letting you link to a video on the different formats if you want) could help players.
The video is sound. It's just I keep thinking of Magic the Gathering. It's like seeing a video for budget players getting into the game without being told if it's for Modern or Standard.
Thank you
