I'm a bit bummed out. A copy of Mage Wars and the DC Comics Deckbuilding Game arrived today in the mail but I fly back to the US tomorrow morning. No chance of playing either of them for at least four weeks. Flipping through the cards and sorting the components of Mage Wars got me even more hyped. I have to ask though: Are all of the extra spell tome expansions of the same quality as the books in the base game? Or are they better quality? My buddy that I bought it to play with and I thought that the pages might be some kind of thin cardboard with spots to slide cards into or something more elegant. I didn't expect the same cheap card binders that I would have filled with Pokemon cards 15 years ago.
Trying to decide if I should take my X-Wing minis with me. The owner of a store wanted me to play there when I was last in the area; I asked what the X-Wing scene was like only to get the answer 'nonexistent' in return. He said that he played though and invited me to play against him in the store where people would be able to see it and maybe we would end up creating the 'scene.' I was excited to play then but my ships were a couple thousand miles away. Now I am trying to figure out if I want to risk them surviving the trip. My carry-on is a standard backpack and my ships are all in a Plano case (I forget the item number but the wide one, red on bottom, that has the two tiers). The case would have to go in my bag on its side, meaning some of the ships like the X-Wings and Z-95s would have their guns directly resting against the compartment walls. A coworker suggested I surround the ships in their individual compartments with tissue to immobilize them, which might work.
Normally I am pretty careful with my carry-on because I will have an Xbox or something in it. So no throwing it down on the ground or knocking it over usually. But these TIE-INTs and X-Wings are a lot more fragile than an Xbox...
