Editing Star Wars X-Wing Miniatures Game (section)

===Shopping===
Currently, buying new from stores tends to run pretty pricey for what is essentially a single Micro Machine ship (of better material and a better paint job, mind) on a stand with some cards. Buying from eBay is not much better, as (barring the very large ships that people buy for the powercreep upgrades that are required to stay competitive and then throw out) there's a trend towards it being just as expensive. Though even so compared to other wargames it's much more affordable. Depending on your faction a single ship could be upward as a third of a total not terrible fleet, compared to a 40k space marine army that require multiple 60 dollar boxes to run optimally, though of course with basically no 'your dudes' potential in exchange. A swarm faction and build of course does worse in this kind of cost examination, but still comes out favorably compared to many other wargames.

Currently, [http://www.miniaturemarket.com/table-top-miniatures/x-wing.html Miniature Market] has the best prices at 25-50% off FLGS in many cases, more for pre-orders.

Or you could just suck it up and support your FLGS instead. Most have a decent discount on X-Wing anyway.
