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.

X-Wing is a great game overall, though the power creep is a bit disheartening for us casual players. This "2nd Edition" of the core game does have several improvements over the original. First, the components (particularly the ships) are a notch up in terms of quality (the painting is crisper and the pieces go together more easily). Secondly, they took a page out of their Armada game and included a useful reference booklet to help keep all the rules straight. Finally, the core set of pilots (and ship stats) are upped a bit, and give a little more survivability (for the Imperials) and maneuverability (for the rebels)--both welcome additions. The $40 price tag is not terrible, though for only getting 3 ships for a 2-1 game is a bit disappointing. Miniature Market's price seems more on the nose, and is appreciated!

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.

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 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.
