Now that we had a chance to try the basic scenario of Star Wars: X-Wing, I have been eager to expand the collection. However, I am making a point of only acquiring 2nd edition kits, mainly so I don’t have to deal with the conversion sets. There are very few currently available, which helps the cost, but I did manage to pick up a set of Saw’s Renegades, one of the two last sets for 1st edition which are also compatible (out of the box) with 2nd edition. The full release isn’t until mid-September, when the squad builder app becomes available and the first true 2nd edition sets come out, but until then I can slowly collect what I can.
Not sure I am totally sold on the movable models. They are a fun gimic, but from what I have found, they also tend to get in the way during the game. With the models small and frequently packed together on the board, it feels like constantly moving wings would mean bumping the positions of ships way too much.
