My friend is friends with a game store owner who lets us make requests in his bulk orders for the store, giving everyone a big discount because this helps him meet his minimum order size and reduce costs. We get something like a 40% discount off of MSRP, in exchange for not knowing when the order will be made and arrive (usually I get stuff a month late, sometimes two). That's been enough to push me to order the core and all three conversion kits, so when those arrive I'll be able to have a really good idea of what's in them, how the game plays, how each faction feels, etc. It's just too bad they'll (probably) arrive so late. But I'll bet I can borrow from others at the game store who get their stuff early, to get an early sampling.

If not for the discount, I would have just gotten the Rebel Conversion Kit and used that as my litmus test. I'm still not certain whether the new core set is needed... I keep seeing conflicting stories.
