Spending GET1

Oh, hey, yeah, that's a point I hadn't considered, but here's one you might have overlooked--what if they release SEVEN characters?

Spend it, spend it all, I need gear.

4 Characters in that store, to get them all would take years of saving.

I'm new enough to just not care about those 4 & spend for gear on all the others I have.

Maybe someday I'll save for Malac since he really helps that team. The rest, meh.

Eh, not really. It took a couple months for Yoda and Wampa, and it'll take a couple months more to save for each of Malak and Anakin, but it really doesn't take as long as you think. Especially since you get 145 Malak and Anakin shards free when you complete the event. You may even have gotten 10 from the anniversary gift.

I highly recommend to newer players that they should at least unlock every character so that they've got a jump when something comes along that requires them, or when that character gets reworked in some way. Preferably 7* them, because once they're 7* you're ready for anything.

That said, you do you. But that's my recommendation.

They claim they want you to not hoard, but you need to.

Q: Why is the game designed around hoarding resources?

A: CG_Miller - This is kind of a backwards way to think of this, but I can understand the perspective. We try to make the game engaging for all players for the time they are playing the game. This will sometimes mean that goals involve a high number of resources that we would expect a player to spend time farming. The unfortunate side effect to this is that players who were not spending those resources previously will see themselves as having a leg up compared to the other players. So in short, our goal is not to design around hoarding resources, but for those resources to be acquired and consumed over time.

Hoard enough for the next major toon that unlocks at 5*. I’ll only spend what I have above that. (After I finish getting my remaining GAS shards).

I agree with the consensus here, I plan on hoarding my GET1 and establishing 70k as my zero. Those stun guns are just so tempting.

Yes, acquired and consumed over time.

What they say and what they do are different. They say they dont want you to hoard, then they force your hand. The best way to stay competitive is to hoard for the next big thing. Galaxy of Hoarders ;)
