Another small review of the ship boosters, this time the Tie Interceptor. Just like the X-wing this one comes with two sheets of cardboard tokens, pilot cards, ship upgrade/weapons/astromech cards a dial and a card with the new rule for the "Boost" action (the rules can be seen on the card in the photo).
The nice thing about these expansion packs is that you get new pilot skills which can be used by all elite pilots regardless of whether they are Imperials or Rebels. The Tie Interceptor blister comes with 6 pilots, which is two more than the X-wing and A-wing have, and thus you also get a broader diversity between "Elite" and "rookie" pilots to choose from.On the downside, being a light Imperial fighter means that you don't get anything in terms of weapon or equipment cards.
It is worth mentioning the paintjob, which is really good for a "pre-paint". Honestly, looking at the miniature it is hard for me to say whether I would be able to do a better job myself so there is absolutely nothing to complain about in this department. It's also a very nice sculpt/model.
As with the X-wing it felt less painful to shell out the money for the single ship than for the starter set. It may be a psychological misinterpretation of value for money but I still believe that the small booster packs while pricey - are worth it.
