Happy Friday everybody! I hope you are all doing well!
Question of the week: Does anybody else think that with the new prices for Armada some ships are now too expenive to buy? I thought they were expensive before, but the increase makes me glad I already have them, or I'd probably have to wait for an extreme price-dropping sale somewhere.
I agree that this game may be getting prohibitively expensive for most people. I've been collecting since wave 3 and I now have quite a nice collection, which is basically 4 of everything. I want to get some clone wars stuff, but I haven't pulled the trigger on it yet. Unless a nice sale comes up, and everything I want is in stock, I probably won't be getting anything from CW for a while. Unfortunate.
Here in NZ and ISD is $89.99 normally meanwhile all the new clone wars large base ships are $112.00 normally. Not that armada stuff ever goes on sale here.
Seems odd since the ISD is larger and has dials and costs less then the smaller large base CW ships (Especially the recusant).
Yikes. Yeah, the price difference confuses me too. I thought the CW era ships were released with the new prices, and everything else would be shifted up to meet them. Instead, they too were given a new price, and are still more expensive. I know the plastic changed for the squads, is that why they are more expensive?
I'm thinking it has more to do with PAI Partners trying to sell off Asmodee. Got to make the company look more profitable so they can get top dollar.

@the_stag Killing the company to make a profit now? Unfortunately doesn't sound all that unlikely... 😥
@the_stag I meant why are the CW squadrons more expensive than the GCW squadron packs. They haven't changed, except in plastic. I am guessing that that is the cause. But IIRC the CW ships are also more expensive than their GCW counterparts, even though they come with less stuff and as far as I know are made of the same plastic. I don't understand that one.
