For those curious about the game, friend and I have spent a combined total of $150 now, and there is pretty much no other way we could drop another dime on this game unless we really felt we needed to field a squad with 3 or 4 copies of a specific ship (other than stock TIE or X-Wing).
Full selection of Rebel and Imperial ships with enough duplicates to tinker with your squad and be competitive. No new products coming until end of the year at the earliest. This is like the anti-Games Workshop game.
Not to derail but is X-wing any different from those Mechwarrior figures we got in college?
Pretty sure, like Netrunner, it's not collectible. You buy all of it, and you get everything.
This is correct, although having "all of it" can be a bit subjective. The tournament rules are 100 point squads, which is what I stick to. In order to get literally every possible configuration of ships (for both sides) under the 100 point cap, I can't see the total cost going over $200. Some people have posted session reports of 800point, 45-ship games though. Some people are crazy.
What the hell, I guess I'm gonna pin it up at PAX AUS, then. A few more to add to my collection. Pin-badges and regular Badges too. Plus, I'll probably have a small stock of my "The Doctor" badges.

Best pin. Ultra rare, like the cocoa bean.
