If you are interested in playing, but just have no one.. I would possibly wait it out just a little bit. Especially if you have shops in the area still doing FFG (X-Wing, Netrunner, etc). The supply issues seem to be over, the Awakenings reprint is coming next month, and all in all this game is finally taking off again. In a year we are going to be laughing (well.. sort of laughing) at the struggles of these first 6 months. I just hate to see people love a game, sell out of it due to no one to play with at the start, then after 1-2 years the game is as healthy as ever and they're like "oh man.. and I had everything.."
Yeah true, it is a great game and I would love to be able to keep following it but it doesn't make sense to keep pumping money into it without any way to play it.
