1.  Ghost had babies
2.  Needs more X-Wings
3.  And is that a Droid-TriFighter escorting w/ the Inquisitor TIE?


Interesting battle, 19 "Interceptor" types v/s 4 "Armed Freighters" & 8 "Air Superiority" Fighters.

I guess; I bought all of them the store had and they called the other stores; they didn't have any more; the Droid Tri-Fighter and such, I found at a garage-sale.

What if Ghost turned to the Dark-Side and brought a squadron with him?

So are those all from the "X-Wing" game that I've seen in stores?

And what are the 3 models of TIE that are all in different colors/sizes?

Different games or some sort of variant?

most of them look like the die cast matchbox(? ... wait micromachines, but the larger ones?) models not from the board game.

 the tri-fighter and inquisitor tie are micromachines.

I don't think so. They don't have the dials on the bases like the X-Wing ships normally do. I don't play X-Wing, but I've always been fascinated by any SW related games. Asmodee just marked all of their X-Wing and Armada products as out of stock earlier this week. Hopefully the games aren't being phased out since there's still people out there enjoying and playing both games.

Never played either of them, but I gotta say, every time I see a box from Armada I cringe a little at the price as I really really want to buy it for pure display purposes & not to actually play the game, LOL.
They are very purty to look at.
I probably would cave & buy one if they actually had some of my favorite ships that you don't see in movies like the Corellian Gunship & Marauder Corvette

My friend had a garage-sale; they had a bunch of star-wars toys. All action-figures, though, they did have one Micro-Machine X-Wing: nothing I could really use in a war-game; and they had a lot of used, Hong-Kong knock-offs of Star-Wars!

I should have gotten them and said they were their stunt-doubles!

So are those all from the "X-Wing" game that I've seen in stores?

You tell me; I have no idea where those other tie-fighters came from, that, is, which Star-Wars series; I think the black ones are from the New Order.  They were all from a set. Those, "Stands", were for kids to put around their fingers so they could fly them!
