Hi guysI'm at a point now, where the only toons I haven't yet unlocked in the GW store are:Bohdi RookPoggle The Lesser Tusken RaiderNone of which I expect to get much use out of...My question is now:Should I get these chars or should I spend my GW currency on chars/ships I have at full and that way get shard store currency?

I would get enough shards so you dont have yo worry if they are needed later.Then shard shop currency for gear.

I ran into the same dilemma recently - actually with those same 3 characters- and decided to say screw it and get enough shards to 7* everyone. I don't want to be kicking myself later if somebody gets reworked or is needed for a legendary. I just need two more Tusken Raider shipments and I'm done. It doesn't really take that long.

The safest bet is to farm all the characters because you never know when something that was previously useless will suddenly become required. (See, e.g., Hoth Rebel Losers when TB launches.)

I’d farm them to 7*. At the very least, they can be used for platooning to help your guild. One day they may also get reworked or may be required for a special event (like Ewoks for C3PO). Its better to have them and not use them than not have them and need them.

should I continue "wasting" GW store currency?

Even if you think this makes enough difference to matter, who said you have to hit the promote button? Just buy the shards and leave them at 100/100 or whatever. That way you're ready to promote if ever needed but don't touch your GP.

You can always leave those 7* guys at level/gear 1.

Except for Bodhi - he's pretty useless - multiple other faction options and nothing interesting about his kit - I just hate having to look at him every day knowing he's the only toon I haven't farmed from that store.

He's definitely rubbish, but I feel so much better not seeing that annoying "0/30" every time I open the store up.

Go for 330/30!

Better yet, see if you can beat my IG86 to 1000! You have an advantage because I took him to 5* before I knew how this game works.

So? That does not invalidate my statement.

It’s makes your statement pointless and whiny.
