Post subject: Older AAM sets
|
 |
|
A question for you long time players, when sets like Contested Skies, D-Day, and Reserves came out, where they very limited? I know I just started playing in January, and there are plenty of Base and Base II out there, but finding any of the other V1 boosters are near impossible, at least at a realistic price. Were those boosters always that hard to find?

Nope. They went out of print soon after V2 stuff came out.

I'm in the same boat. I can still find the following sets
Base Set
Set II
1939-45
North Africa
Eastern Front
Depending where you go the prices can be reasonable. Some stores have V1 sets for $9.95, other for $16.95.
I can no longer find Contested Skies, Reserves or D-Day. But when they were still in stock they sold for about the same prices. I wish I would have bought more when I had the chance. |

Most of the stores in this area got rid of their boosters for next to nothing about a year ago. Wish I had bought more to make my life easier, but these days I make molds of my own, or so I can do mods. One local store was dumping rares for 50 cents a piece. Shame I was late to that sale. There are still people selling their collections of V1 around, but the prices they want are rather high considering. 16 dollars for a V1 booster is just insane.

Base and Base II booster are at my FLGS for $8.95 and all the V2 sets are $12.95, so that's not too bad. I guess my question is why do we have so much Base and Base II boosters still around and virtually no Contested Skies, Reserves, or D-Day. It would be awesome if they just resized those sets to V2 and released the sets again. Just think! Jagdtiger, IS-3, Centurion, and all those other tanks in V2! That would be awesome!

Sorry I don't know the answer to that. I can only guess they produced more of Base and Set 2. Why? I haven't a clue. |

I know a shop (online) that still has Reserves.
Another still sells the "enhanced Ruleset" and adds a D-DSay and Reserves (I think) booster for free.
All in Germany...
I believe one or two shops still have Reserves/Set II/BAse Set (Starters) around.
Too bad they did not lower prices, so the boosters are unsellable here

Yep, you can get the older Boosters here in Germany, but the case is around 110Euros.

I imagine the cards are in German? (I ask because I don't speak/read English). It would still be worth buying them for the units. |

No, the're in English. I think the cards were never printed in an other language.
And worth it, hm, when I bought the older cases two years or so ago, I got them for 65Euros. So it is a bit expensive now in comparison.

My groups FLGS has about 8 cases each of Base and Base II, and at $8.95 each, we are slowly chipping away at it, plus we added some new players, so we encourage them to buy 3 of each with a starter set.

My LFGS has not had a booster in about nine or ten months.  Forced me to buy my stuff online. Saves me money but forces me to support someone I have never met. Next time I am in there I should ask him if he is going to carry the new set.

My little hole in the wall shop has a few BS and SetII boosters left, along with NA, EF, 39/45, and the surf boosters. I think i am only one of maybe 3 people that buy them. I cleaned him out of CS, DD and reserves along while back.
