Honestly I'd be torn between rebel & scum.

Scum: Protectorate ($15), Lancer ($40), Jumpmaster ($30), Quadjumper ($15) = $100

Rebel: ARC ($20), B-Wing ($15), [ K-Wing ($20) or HWK ($15) ], Heroes of the Resistance ($40) = $90 or $95

Or maybe Rebel Aces instead of B-Wing. Hard to say because upgrades are so split up (and that makes list building under $100 very hard), but if we're proxying pilots and upgrades (only need the ships) then it's much, much easier. The split upgrades are part of why it's so hard to dabble in x-wing unless your gaming group is okay with proxying... you either go all-in, or you find a lighter game. :)

I'm torn on k-wing or hwk. The K-Wing is fun, but the HWK is an amazing support ship. Again, if I can't proxy, then it's harder because the HWK really needs the K-Wing's TLT or something similar to enjoy its full potential. But if I have to choose and proxy is ok, probably HWK for its excellent support prowess.

BTW, those are the MSRP values. They're useful for equal comparison here, but in case you're thinking of getting a ship for real, do check online. You can get them for about 15-30% off in many cases, sometimes more... and that means you get more ships in the end. :D  Also, according to Miniature Market, the Milennium Falcon retails at $30 not $40 (Heroes is $40, did you mean that?), so some of my numbers may not match yours.

Also it looks like you're assuming the player has a Core set or Core II set, for all the maneuver templates, damage deck, etc.
