For me the minis make the game.  I''ve loved aviation and aerial combat since I was a little kid, but I looked at this game for years before the minis came out and never bought it.  I now own at least one copy of everything that have released and run the largest dedicated site to the game!

As for the upcoming releases, the first thing to keep in mind is that Nexus always misses it''s release dates for this game.  And they tend to miss them by several months .  The bombers are due out next month, but they do not even show up as upcoming products here on FFG… so I''m hoping we see them by Christmas personally.

As a new mini player, I would suggest you start picking up the Series 4 fighters if you have not already.  These were just recently released, but already they are getting hard to find (good luck getting Bishop''s SE5a these days for less then $50).  I would not expect a reprint of them for about two years.  Series 1-3 are said to be scheduled for reprint again this year (this is from the CEO of Nexus), so they will be coming back around sometime.

The WWII minis do not seem to be in any danger of going out of stock anytime soon, so you should be safe there.

Good luck on building your collection!
