Amazon.ca only has this UK vendor selling it for $100. Free shipping though!

I bit the bullet and felt like I was bent over. I may be selling it in 3 months though.

Kinda don't love the silver and gold colors for the three big minis. Otherwise, I guess it looks cool, but don't know if it justifies paying double the price of the normal version.

I really enjoy the game for what it is. I made mine "deluxe" by picking up old Micromachines off eBay, plus I had a bunch of pewter figures from an old SW Monopoly I got at a thrift store (trashed the game, kept the minis, never knew why until this game). It improves the fun factor over the cardboard, for sure, but I don't know if it justifies the extra cost of the black box edition.

Sigh... I knew I was basically paying $24 to play the game early. Hard to resist. Also the marketing shots seem like the board is a little higher quality (?) but that's probably an illusion.

After thinking about what I would probably rather spend $50 on (basically anything else, since I've played this and it decidedly isn't a $50 game) and staring at that butt-ugly gold Millenium Falcon a little more, the FOMO factor on this one has gone down to nil. Moving on, if I can cancel the damn order.

Same minis for what was in standard, new minis are UGLY, board is the exact same flimsy thing...Oh, and twice the price.
Tried to tell everyone the wait wouldn't be worth it.
Love it when I'm right.

Couldn't cancel in time so I might as well enjoy Hasbro's version of bling.

i went into Toys R Us to pick up Loupin' Louie for a birthday party for our neighbors kid. They didn't have it, discontinued in favour of Loupin Chewie which was more expensive and only plays to three. 10$ more expensive and since Louie was only 20$ that's fucking significant.
I hate Loupin Chewie even more now... didn't think that was possible.
Although I did play some more IA skirmish with my new Boba Fett figure. Fucking love it.
I also saw Risk Star Wars at Toys R Us for 30$... didn't buy it. I'd rather just go play Queens Gambit at this point.

(We were talking about this recently but I couldn't find it.)
Well according to Vasel, ARMADA is coolstuff's #4 best seller in 2015. I guess it's doing a lot better than I thought. It sure didn't seem to attract as much buzz as X-Wing did though.

Yeah, people do not talk about it much over here, though most of the people who published opinions or reviews on the fort are pretty positive.

I think that most people here didn't want to sink money into it after putting so much into X-Wing. I didn't for as long as I could resist, but I've failed. It really is the better game of the two. I wish Armada was the system FFG licensed out because this would have made a tremendous Star Trek game.

Minus the fighters, yeah. Can you imagine the classic Enterprise in a high quality big sized model? Oh, man. With Klingon BC's? Smokin'.
My question is why doesn't ffg have the ST license?

I am pretty excited for the tractor beam in X-wing. So glad it will move ships along with the -1 agility, Could cause some fun hijinks.
