When Fantasy Flight Games announced their new Core Set for X-Wing Miniatures Game , my first thought was how cheap the new units seem. Loaded capabilities and speed, and better stats for so little points compared to already circulating units. Yet my favorite fighter, the Tie Defender , was left in a deep dark hole of being way too expensive to be even competitive.
