“What's not to love about this new take on the original core set? Better looking models, updated T-70 and TIE/fo fighters, fully compatible with the original core set, updated maneuver dials, and the T-70 has the boost action now! I like the new turn that they came up with too. FFG is doing a remarkable job of updating and balancing game elements as the game continues to expand. I'm hooked, and I really don't even get to play with friends nearly as often as I'd like. What else is new? An updated damage deck, updated booklets, and while the upgrades that come with this set aren't as plentiful as in the original, they offer some cool new upgrade cards and pilot cards. Definitely worth it, especially at the very low price that MM is offering it for.”

“Always nice to see new additions to the game, especially a new core set. Not only are they a great value. (The ships alone at retail will set you back 45 dollars) but they have a great amount of upgrades.”

“You know those tiny spoons at ice creams shops, where you want to know if you should order this or that particular flavor? That's this box. It's a complete taste, but not a complete game. It's important to know that. This box gives new players enough stuff to know if they're going to actually have fun playing the game. That's its primary function, and I think it succeeds at that function. It has enough stuff for a potentially fun- small- 2 player game. The ships themselves are well painted and well detailed. They simply look _pretty_. I do sometimes take out my collection to show people who appreciate good models. The secondary function of this box is to bring 2 new ships and the concept of "subfactions" to current players of X-Wing. Those ships (the T-70 X-Wing and the TIE f/o Fighter) bring some new and interesting options to the X-Wing miniatures game, including a new slot type. I'm still a bit wary of the T-70's place on the playing field (I think it should have a slightly lower squad point cost), but it looks to be a very slippery bugger. Time will tell. The TIE f/o Fighter is not a replacement for the TIE Fighter, and that's actually good news. It seems to have a slightly different role in a fleet, and to be well squad-point-costed to fill that role. Plus the new damage deck. Plus new copies of the standard movement templates (mine were starting to show their age...). And more dice. So: if you're a current player? Pick up at least one of these. If you're a curious potential new player? Pick up one of these, grab a friend and roll some dice. Say "pew pew pew" as you roll the dice. If you have fun with the game... welcome to the club. There's a whole lot more awesome stuff.”

“This is just a well done update to the core set that was needed. The biggest changes is the T70 X-Wing (Poe is epic) and the crit deck is a lot more balanced.”

“The ships in this set are better painted than the original core set. If you are just starting out, the set lacks the diversity of upgrade cards that the core set has to offer. The production and quality are A+. Invest and have fun, you can't go wrong.”

“This new core set was a wonderful surprise. Brand new ships with new stats and maneuvers (NOT the same as the Tie Fighters and X-Wing in the original Core Set). I was honestly expecting this to be the same old Core Set with a new paint job, but FFG really delivered. Omega Ace paired with Push the Limit is absolutely insane. I may never fly a regular old Tie Fighter ever again.”
