Was only an e-bay buyer until i pulled 2 SS Aiv's from a load of boosters i picked up (9). Don't play SS or 'cheese', so quickly became an e-bay seller too. Picked up about £30 for them both (around $60) enough to pay for an sc mad II and SW kodiak. Very happy with how that went down.

The guys at WK must be crying in their milk over this one. They have to sell half a case just to make that much money. But, then again, any idiot could see this coming.

People are realizing just how effective these puppies are. Once everyone has 2-3 of these suckers, we will be right back to the mechless pog war we had going last year.

I could field 4 SS Arrow IV and 4 SS DI Towed AA.
Probably would n't want to because it would be a boring game.
I keep them just in case there are more faction war style events, where you have to pretty much duplicate you army as a sideboard reserve to cover units destroyed in early rounds.

If a Swordsworn player wanted them I would probably swap them for the remaining LE's that I need for SS/ROTS.

I would n't want to sell them on ebay though- I don't like the idea of being able to buy a perfect cheese army just simply becuase you have deepest wallets.

At the end of the day I was lucky enough to either pull them myself or get given them by friends who pllayed a different faction.

I have been buying them off ebay at the presemnt, but I leave at $55 US as anything more is stupid (Considering I have bought 2 for $36US.) I do concur it is pretty stupid for some of the prices (and soem would say its pretty stupid for even $55US)

The qualifiers are sealed, but the nationals are constructed I do believe, so they could be ued there (I could be wrong here but Im pretty certain its not)

I just saw a Bannsons Sprint go for over 30.

It seems the same guy is bidding on every one of those Arrow IV auctions, and already won a few as well. Actually, now that I look at it, there are 2 guys that are consistantly bidding on all arrows.

Might have to get a second job to remain competitive at nationals this year...

WHZ

this is just sad. these are regular units noe LE's. they will be available for another year and a half+. i just dont understand why someone would even pay $50 for one. i have 6 of these and got them all for $20. i guess i should sell a few off for some money!

LoL. I'm dying. This is utterly nuts. What's worst, at the venues I play at, many of the players, would be happy to trade the SSw arrow, for say, one of my merc snipers.

What's really funny is when eBayers end up bidding the price above the buy-it-now. I recall seeing the auction that's currently $76 when it had a buy it now of $59.99. I thought that "value" was rediculously high too.

Dear Kinnison,

Are you sure that I can't persuade you to FAQ the SE for ECM to read "Units with ECM do not take damage from artillery attacks that do not have LOS"? I know, it changes the rules, it makes ECM units more valuable, but the current situation is NUTS.

Does every army now have to have either 2-4 SS ARROW IV's or Krystyn and Kenneth???

Also, one other idea....Play just one mech against the SS arrow iv horde. Rush to the enemy DZ, kill one unit, when he salvages you the game is OVER, you take VC3 and VC1, cause the salvaged mech counts for VC2!

henry...dude...that is EVIL! I like it...daaaaang. That is evil...the more I think about it the more I giggle. I just explained it to a co-worker here that doesn't even play the game and he thinks the same thing.

Henry: Unfortunately a single ATV or Trike will have easily taken VC3 from you. Still a good method to use against ultimate-build armies is to deny them a single VC and still lose. Sure you lose the game but that single VC lost is a blow in large tournaments.

Easiest VC to deny is usually 3, just rush your army into the opponenets DZ. Your stuff will die horribly, but VC3 will be yours and not his. ;)

Wouldn't it now. :cool:

Thats just plain sick and wrong

@henry
hhehheheh sweet i think i'm gonna play that... one fast mech that is pushable huh??? how bout a BH??? would that work or is he not fast anough.... maybe arnis would be best.... but sounds like fun...
