PanO reinforcement pack: Patsy Zulu Cobra Hacker & Jammer Kamau combi, Sniper (from Starter) and Hacker Tikbalang (from Stingray box) Aleph reinforcement pack: Dakini box Remotes box Deva hacker from Coldfront Shak-ti from Beyond Coldfront
Mixed feelings about these two, the PanO is a no-go as I already have a Tik, and intend to pick up the Varuna starter at some point. . The Aleph one is really nice in that it has the entirity of two boxes and they slot in really well with Coldfront & Beyond, but the duplicate Deva is annoying and double Shak-ti is even less desirable.
Agreed, I was close to getting it to support my O-12 but I have no need for devas (already own the RPG one) and much less Shakti
Myself on the other hand do not want to play Aleph, but have been thinking I would like to add the reinforcement minis to fight in Defiance over time, but having Shak-Ti already separated from the Beyond box makes this a pretty tempting buy (more so than any of the others so far). As an added bonus everything else I can use in for O-12 whenever I decide to play them.
I don’t own any PanO and I am booked with painting projects well until 2022 if I consider all the defiance stuff I already want to get. Still I would have bought the PanO Box if it had included a Kamau HMG since that model is really hard to get if you want to set up a Varuna only collection and even if you also go for vanilla it really would be good to have two.
i just realized : except shakti, the whole aleph reinforcement box can be used for 0-12. I may buy it to paint deva/rem/daikini in an o12 paint scheme
Darned it I just want the O-12 stuff maybe the aleph box, but I really not interested in the game itself

The YJ reincorcement pack has more the flavour of an ISS pack, but it's a huge deal in terms of money and time. If only I had this a while ago, I would have spared a lot of time looking for deals, split-box, tradings, etc. Don't lose this chance if you're starting to play YJ!!!
Out of curiosity. Has anybody seen an answer/question regarding if the reinforcement models are the only models that we will get tokens/cards for? It looks like there have been some stretch goals for a few factions, but do we have any idea what kind of variety to expect?
The Reinforcement packs match the cards and tokens that come with the game/stretch goals, technically if you got the Platinum pledge, all the Reinforcement packs, and Operation: Wildfire you'd have all the models it's possible to use in Defiance.
