[@BUChiAlpha]

Good to see that this new wave is bringing a lot of new players into the game.

[@dt2243]

Was hoping the upgrade pack had reprints of all the cards that had been updated, point costs or keywords or whatever. Maybe eventually

[@Birkhead503]

Very weird with the smoke grenades. I think I preferred it as a cheaper expendable item. Though Cover 3 every turn seems pretty good if you have smoke and d&c on low profile units!

[@HolySorcerer]

Probably an error, this wave was rifle with similar errors.

[@HunterD13]

I like the move to Essentials Kit and wish more games went that route. New players sometimes can't split a box, and this provides an alternative to that.

[@macoelectrum4193]

Hi! I’m new to the game. Thank you for making this game so much easier to understand.

[@Seiwraith]

Watched you awhile back for armada and just recently got back into and just got to say loe to see you still around made it really easier to catch up on information!

[@cheneymoss6402]

Lots of new stuff out there, glad to see that. The essentials kit looks good for new players jumping in with one of the battle force sets.

[@dylandisque5781]

I’ve been recently getting into the game, and let me say I’m really enjoying it, and your videos have been the only thing I’ve been watching, thank you for all you help!!!

[@thatblastedsamophlange]

I love the idea of the upgrade card packs. Add in some new rules updates, updated cards, and they'd be a great yearly release, or at least by-yearly.

[@estevandelgado8329]

I've been thinking about getting into Legion. I will have to keep these on my radar after I get a few games in.

[@madchemist113]

I’m confused with the smoke grenades too, Frenzied gunner looks fun! Thanks for the video!

[@inkedvader813]

Finally got all my Shadow Legion stuff from the LGS yesterday, stoked to work on painting everything

[@Wulfgar7]

Definitely picking up both of these as soon as I can. Especially for those skirmish cards.

[@thealmightysarlaac7084]

Loved the coins….my first time actually seeing them ….awesome

[@haroldkeearns3497]

Always look forward to your videos brother. Thanks for all that you do for the community

[@Aagmohme]

Love the videos, just bought a clone wars core set really helping to understand how it all works.

[@ivana.313]

Very new to the hobby and game, enjoying it with my kids. I'm glad to have found this channel for making smarter decisions on what to buy and the how tos.

[@neilcressey8189]

As always great coverage. Both look good. I think the new releases are setup so that a new player can get their whole squad put together without the need to buy a core set.

[@spencerpalmer2918]

I think it's an interesting idea to have an essentials kit. It's somewhat simple, but I like the Prepared Supplies card art. Thanks for the video as always!

[@Ironbudha23]

Nifty. I was iffy about getting the essentials kit. I may have to look into that one more.

[@dawigrund5149]

Thanks for the info! Always informative.

[@SCTimbal]

Ordering my Essentials Kit and BF starters this weekend, can't wait!

[@carterj7547]

These look great! Thanks!

[@Jbvain]

Love that Cad Bane can be in an Imperial army!

[@davidpitcher2338]

They need to make one of these essential kits for Marvel Crisis Protocol. But I agree they need to make one for ALL miniatures games.

[@Mr.Faoustay]

The smoke makes a much more compelling upgrade for sniper units/strike teams. I would increase the point cost though if it's not a 1 time use item

[@airborneD4478]

I'm really looking forward to getting started with this game!

[@andyhorner6139]

I am a new player and just started. Looking forward to teaching my son this game.

[@scruffysmovies8295]

I haven’t even gotten into Legion yet, but these vids of yours leave me coming back for more lol

[@Crushanator1]

I'm just starting out and these look like great options if you don't want starter set models

[@squishcognito6780]

Thanks for showing these, wish they’d provide the updated unit cards as well.

[@niamhmcnabb6553]

Thank you! I watch all your videos so it's about time I commented and got my name in the hat for one of those competitions!

[@kaz9357]

So glad I pre-ordered this! Can't wait to start building my shadow collective army!

[@HumblePatriot89]

I just started getting into Star wars tabletop games and your vids have been very helpful. Keep it up. 👍🏻

[@brentwelsh1767]

Totally missed the smoke grenades when I opened my box... thanks for the videos as always!

[@AlaricSkywalker]

Two unboxings in one episode. Neat.

[@mfrieb]

thanks for doing this helped me decide i needed them lol

[@coreyrose75]

I might have to grab these and get back into Legion

[@txdarkknight]

Up close and personal is great on taun tauns.

[@stark_gameZ]

Im new in Legion and Im soo loving it!

[@f-ob2728]

Good rewiew and insight for me who look to get into the game

[@donlovejoy1805]

Lead by example, underworld connections, etc., are in the individual unit boxes. Still seems more economical to buy Shadow Collective and card pack rather than all three individual units.

[@bigcore6177]

Just getting in Legion. Can't wait to get my droids all built and painted.

[@raveninc87]

Thank you this sir!

[@elicash139]

I really enjoy watching your content Crabbok! Definitely makes me more excited to play!

[@tomwood4562]

Can't wait to try running Bossk and Cad Bane in more lists with the new cards!

[@mikep3494]

Played my first game the other day at my local game store, learned some of the basics. Lost, but had a lot of fun. I think I might go with the Shadow Collective to start. Two boxes of that set, and then these two boxes you showcased in this video, and Bossk if he works with Shadow Collective 😁

[@cosplayerwill160]

I love the upgrade card packs, just got the first one yesterday.

[@martinhawkins1596]

Keep up these great videos as being new to legion they been helping me a lot

[@NewDadWhoDis]

Also nice to have 6 range ruler pieces for setup measuring and such :D

[@thomaswilliams5005]

Good info. Thanks

[@LumberjackNick]

Awesome!!

[@bradleyscott6304]

I’m an imperial player, and my brother plays rebels. We every single piece of content for shadow collective when it came out, and up close and personal has been awesome for us, especially with saber throw. Also Vader has loved finally having burst of speed, since I don’t own yoda

[@kevinlocke6120]

Up close and personal is good on Boba Fett too. Although I'm not entirely sure if you use arsenal 2 you get two dodges?

[@guarddog3434]

Wow I can't wait till I get these

[@kevinaiabens4474]

Will need a few of those new cards. But most of the upgrade are copies. I was also hoping for more rework cards like speeders Laats AT-ST Merc’s would use anything.

[@zackduncan5219]

Idk, Frag Grenades are insanely good, but being able to add extra Suppression does have its uses.

[@minnesotasportstalk]

Can’t wait get my army done!

[@michaelcalabretta8158]

I like the new range tools and movement tool redesigns, the look better, just a little sad now that I spent the time painting the old ones now that better ones are available to purchase.

[@brantschafer4735]

I’m actually glad to see the new range tools that are a bit heftier.

[@darkmayhem1295]

Just got the shadow collective box and the clone wars starter set can’t wait to play it this weekend

[@afistfulfett7526]

I know I'm a bit late but sonic implodes gives units with auto surge to hit that good option for the supressive game :) For example for Close-Up Stormtroopers it's a good use

[@eritcus1718]

Just got into star wars legion and i am totally going to get both

[@williamscarvie4498]

A lightsaber?!? Cool! Also this unboxing really helped me out. I’m just getting into this game and I’m trying to figure out what to buy. Thank you.

[@andystocking5316]

I guess I should grab a copy of the Upgrade pack, seems useful.

[@nicksmuts9135]

Thanks, new to the game, haven't even got my own figures yet :), so these videos are very valuable .

[@4Refros]

Cant wait to get these

[@CrippleX]

Great video for someone curious about the game.

[@argentum1392]

I don't remember them saying anything about smoke grenades changing, but ministravaganza moving may have led to some things getting forgotten about.

[@TheIronBroadcast]

love the new tokens from luxury playstyle

[@freppy]

Now I can start my skirmish force without having to buy a core set.

[@brandonpitcher3721]

Thanks for the video

[@TheMercenaary]

I've been looking for different wargames than Warhammer. And you video popped up with star wars legion review of the mandos. That defiantly got my attention.

[@robertbechtel1513]

Thanks for the video, was wondering what was in the essentials pack

[@waywardrush]

Can't wait to get my shadow collective box

[@IronBear0023]

I thought i needed to buy this. But I have the starter sets. Thanks for the help!

[@Primitive_Orange]

Just starting legion I love your vids

[@xhintz]

Thanks for the great video!

[@davidfaidley4889]

just got my pre order today. the pile of shame is pretty high right now. still have room for swoop bikes and the mando and grogu though.

[@lehcyfer]

Got to get those :)

[@patrickhartigan2068]

Thanks for the video and great giveaway

[@kevinhockinson5091]

Great video!

[@fulguropop]

Wow, i need this upgrade card pack

[@mrnubsdunn]

That's interesting on the smoke grenades. Veeeeeerrrryyyy interesting 🤔

[@jacobhall8247]

This is awesome!

[@garethp2633]

Great video mate

[@Gabes_guard]

I can’t wait for the 501st set

[@spcwolf]

love your videos. Don't get to watch every one, but I am really enjoying the new legion videos

[@exodus_studios]

I Wonder What the Upgrade Card Pack 3 will contain if they come out at all. Maybe a commander centric theme for the pack?

[@5p3cu10]

Legion seems to be growing. AMG seem to be doing better than folks expected. I usually HATE "upgrade". SWL seems to be the least egregious of them. Not overly expensive and they always come with everything you need

[@rodento3220]

Cool to see that you can now split a two player box and get the other stuff on the side so both can have everything they need. The cards are pretty cool. does that mean the unit card I got with Cad Bane is useless? Glad I can get cards without buying units I won't use. Glad to see Smoke Grenades change they are awesome for BX droids. Wow some of those new cards are going to be alot of fun.

[@kevinlocke6120]

I think the old cards for Boba, bossk and cad are obsolete now. For tournament play at least.

[@hamsandwich4384]

Dam really need the upgrade card pack

[@chroniclesoftinybattles]

I'm so hype to get started with Star Wars Legion... dreaming about that Separatists starter set lol... Darth Maul is incredible too, just sharing the love here haha. If I understand correctly cards are what bring an "update" to the game system right ? I see the core sets are already some years old.

[@TheGarbage2011]

They update the cards in the rules online.

[@the_enderslayer]

You're pretty much right, though like somebody already pointed out, you can also find the latest versions online. Also, good taste, the Seperatists are sick.

[@chroniclesoftinybattles]

@@the_enderslayer thanks !

[@pyrosis9433]

Love your content

[@Silvershadow-bn1tg]

might have to pick up one of the essential pack just for the victory tokens lol

[@robertgagne2388]

Just getting into legion, i have the older star wars assault set, which is played more??

[@powerchoke1]

Great Video.

[@saulandaverde1554]

I got this earlier this week. I did not know that the merc cards replaced the cards that came with the respective expansion.

[@xambler2]

Jumping into legion with shadow collective, I really should have examined the contents of the essential kit more closely before I ordered a used copy of the original core box on eBay 😅

[@josephmoberly2109]

There does need to be clarification with the smoke grenades. I am ok with the points not changing because aren’t points changes just for competitive play only? There have been several examples of reprints where the points weren’t changed from the points on the original card.

[@barakmakabi6017]

Sweet giveaway!
