Fuckers. Ninja'd me!

I just placed an order from CoolStuff yesterday because they had them on sale as well (still do in fact) but for $35 for the pair. I did snag a Rebel Transport that they had for $36 to go with them though. And considering have to pay Sales Tax from MM it basically came to a wash.

Killer deal though.

Mansions of Madness: Call of the Wild Expansion is currently $33.74 shipped on Amazon right now. Nearly 50% off MSRP.

MoM - Call of the Wild

Duel of Ages 2 is $40 at CSI today. You guys have made it sound tempting, but I can see it never hitting the table and also me probably not liking it (I don't like wargames, I don't like minis games).

I'm tempted, because I owned all of the original, but I've only played it three times in eight years.

My FLGS has the VT-49 Decimator for X-Wing on clearance for $15 and the YT-2400 for $18. Are they worth getting at that price if I'm kind of lukewarm on them anyway? Can anyone who owns them chime in regarding how often they use them, or are they primarily vanity pieces?

I'd vote no on the Decimator and yes on the 2400.

My group has used the Decimator about half a dozen times and everytime it goes down hard. Zero agility is really hard to overcome. I doubt I'll use mine much at all outseide of huge games where I have to points to spare.

I really like the YT-2400. Leebo with Determination is a pain in the ass to damage, Dash 's ability to ignore obstacles makes him hard to pin down or anticipate. The title is good: a 360 degree mangler cannon shot is fun, and even a Heavy Laser Cannon is just fine since you can just barrel roll out of range 1 if need be. It's fun to use.

Weird how the Decimator retails for $10 more than the YT but it's on sale for cheaper?

I actually like the Decimator. Love ramming stuff with the one pilot.

Also, Decimator + Phantom lists seem to be pretty popular in the meta and very competitive. That may change with the Phantom nerf.

Yeah, I thought it was weird, too, but it must be entirely a supply/demand thing for these two ships at this particular store. I really like the idea of having the Decimator as a big Imperial ship opposite the Falcon but the 0 Agility is very off-putting for using it in casual games with people that don't have much experience with X-Wing. But for $15 it's nearly cheap enough to warrant getting one just to mess around with.

Yeah, if money isn't an issue, that's cheap enough that you might as well get it.
