So as someone who saw this in a store recently and decided to do some research on the PA forums before purchasing. How reliable is this site? Also how good is this to start ones adventure in spending more money? Would it be better to buy the original starter box instead?
Thanks for the assistance.
For the Classic Core vs. FA Core, it's probably better at this point to buy the new starter box all else being equal. It comes with the new damage deck which had some cards rebalanced and the ships it comes with are straight up better than the classic ones (shielded TIEs, X-wing has a new maneuver).
I'd still advise getting two starters though. Compared to buying the expansions, you get more ship for your buck that way and the additional dice which can come in handy with some combos. I'd think that one classic and one FA would give you the most flexibility for the lowest entry cost while still having the new damage deck available.
Early last year I bought a bunch of X-Wing minis off a guy from Craigslist. The guy had a good sized collection, but just had a baby and didn't think he'd have time to play anymore. Now I'm in a similar situation with the wife due in just a few weeks and with me having a large collection of ships.
Looks like I may have to unload my collection too....
NOPE! FUCK THAT! I look forward to this speech in a few years:

I had all three of his ships in range one, the bomber I targeted was already down three health. Assault Missle And three focus and a blank. And then I believe Lorrir got OHKO'd that turn too.
Grunt's Ghosts' notorious Suicide Squadron faced the following;
Boba Fett
Veteran Instincts
Proton Bombs
Bombardier
Extra Munitions
Slave 1 title
Scimitar Squadron Pilot
Extra Munitions
Proton Rockets
Conner Net
Twin Ion Engine Mk. II

The situation after a few turns;
Just before this was taken, GG had lined up a beautiful Assault Missile shot and was robbed by the dice.
Just after, Boba scored an unlikely Direct Hit to remove Lt. Lorrir From the board. Soontir rolled an almost equally unlikely set of blanks & focuses on all four of his retaliatory attack dice. Vassal dice. ~_~
Scimitar Two succumbed to focus fire almost immediately, hardpoints still brimming with explosive goodness.
Fast-forward several turns and Nimbles was to succumb to a massive barrage of various bombs, while Scimitar One was hunted down and destroyed by Fel himself.
With a bit of luck on Boba's side he was able to mostly deal with the remaining TIEs, despite fantastic blocking strategies employed by my opponent.
In the defense of Nimbles, all damage dealt to him was unavoidable. Net, Proton Bomb, and Seismic Charges, with the last one being friendly fire from the Bomber who was in DC's place.
FFG is allowing tournament participants to choose between the old and new damage decks now.
Worlds will still use the new deck to "showcase" it and show consistency to viewers though

Not sure if I like that.
Maybe it's okay for now, and then they'll make it standardized later on?

Meh. There were good reasons to switch everyone to the TFA damage deck (a fair amount of it is irrelevant "free crits" for generic-swarms, and disproportionately crippling for some other builds.) I'd like to have seen it stay mandated, but have them include some free copies in the tournament support packages.
I'm hoping it's just a temporary thing due to limited supplies of the TFA cores.

There is a new game mat kickstarter up called Kraken game mates. They are from the EU as well for you European folks.
The space mat they are offering looks amazing, and they are offering 6x3 versions of the mats for cinematic play. 30 days left so no rush. My buddies and I are thinking about getting some more mats. I have one from grip mat that I love, but it would be sweet to have a single sheet 6x3 piece.

Gripmat was doing 6x3s as well, ~$90.
You could add one on to your order if you were a backer; you might still be able to.

I wouldn't say that. I did get a damn sight luckier with the dice, and dodging out of that first joust.

It is. Moving last, shooting first works great for them as they can chase down and peg the hell out of some ships. With Fel and PTL or Lorrir and his special barrel roll, you're almost always going to have a shot. The problem is that they are so flimsy (or maybe mine are) and it's hard for them to make it many rounds.
Initiative means you move first and attack first vs same pilot skill, not move last. I think it's better that they move last to be able to boost or barrel roll into a good position
Yeah... I'll probably spend a bit on x-wing, then save the rest. Though I do need to figure out another storage/display solution since my planos are filled to the brim.
I am saving up for a gaming table after all

I'm sure the new damage deck will be the only one allowed, if not sooner then at least starting next tournament season.

At £36.90 I think it's one of the least expensive on the market.
And if you want to go even cheaper, some yoga mats measure in at 36" x 72"
I wouldn't say that. I did get a damn sight luckier with the dice, and dodging out of that first joust.
Just making sure we're clear
