“Very good product. Very happy with the contents. Only complaint that I have is the TIE/FO seem to be lacking in the paint job. Makes them look very Toy-like compared to all of the other X-Wing ships. This is the only reason I marked it as 4 stars for Quality. The new updated rulebook is great to have and the inclusion of updated X-Wing and TIE's is awesome in my opinion. The new maneuvers will add great variety to the game. I titled this summary a "Must Have" because of the new damage deck. Some of the cards have been changed out to make them more effective and damaging for every ship. if you plan on playing competitively, then you are required to have the new deck so you might as well but this set.”

“This is a must have for both new and veteran players of x-wing. New players will get everything they need to start playing the game with the latest rules and components. Veteran players will get the new streamlined damage deck that replaces some of the cards that were found to be a little too crippling to some ships while having little to no effect on others. As well as the new ships, pilots, and upgrade cards. The miniatures included with this set are some of most beautiful and finely detailed to be released so far, and x-wing is just an all around amazing game.”

“This is a great addition for new and veteran players. There is a lot of great stuff in this box. The models look fantastic, they are crisp and clean and look great on the table. Besides the models I believe the damage deck is the best upgraded item in this box. The old damage deck had critical damage cards that may or may not have effected ships or pilots but this decks crit cards effects every type of build. I would recommend buying two so you have two each of "wired" and "weapons guidance". You'll get extra dice and templates, so you will have spares incase they are misplaced or give them to a friend.”

“I am new to the X-Wing miniatures game. Based on other reviews, I ordered two of the new The Force Awakens core sets and I am glad I did. The game is really well thought out and a lot of fun to play. As much as I like to support my local game store, I can't justify paying full retail after seeing the fantastic pricing that Miniature Market has to offer. Ordering was easy and shipping was fast.”

“If you're choosing between the original starter and this one, definitely choose this one as you will need the new damage deck for upcoming tournament play. The three models included in this ship look fantastic, far more crisp and clean than the original ships. The pilots included for both factions are great, although it would have been nicer to have more options with the upgrades. BB-8 is almost an auto-include for anyone flying rebels, and the new Tie FO pilots make some cheap, interesting additions to any imperial lists looking to fill those last 16-25 points.”

“This is a second core set for Xwing miniatures. If you like the game I highly recommend buying the original core set as well as it has different ships, mods, etc. plus it has another set of dice which u will want if u play much. But back to this set. The ships are great they look and feel fantastic. All around good stuff. This game is super addictive it will suck you in along with all of your disposable income, haha fly casual.”

“I ordered this for a friend. We opened the box together and the new ships look awesome. Excellent paint jobs and nice new design for the x-wing. The pilot cards come with some interesting abilities and nice new upgrades. This is not just another starter set, but also an expansion pack for those who already have the original core set.”
