This is my biggest issue with this company/ sales strategy.

I severely dislike the "black inflated market" hiked prices their sales strategy creates.

This is making it near impossible for people who have some, but not unlimited funds to expand into the game at a reasonable pace. I am not willing to buy a ship which is not in size with the rest of the ships in the game, and I am certainly not buying a Raider-Corvette for 65 British Pounds for a ship I dont want just to get access to the 4x TIE Adv cards I need in the game (both for casual and tournament play). Those cards (as a set) sell aprox for about 12 to 15 pounds on Fleebay, this is insane.

And for all the peeps argueing if its a card or a mini's c\game, IT's BOTH.

I don't have a suggestion that would answer how they would be able to sell cards that are needed, but I do know this needs adressing imo. If one does not want to buy a blind pack of cards ?(as is normal in part of the CCG industry, then something like Magic has done: starter sets which have fixed cards in them.

At the moment the buying/ selling of cards for Xwing is certainly behaving like any other CCG by inflating the "rares" by price, and atm the TIE Adv are rares, certainly.

I do think 3 sets of "Upgrade stater card sets", one for each faction, would work much better then the lame arse selling pitch of selling huge ships with cards not meant for it.
