First pictures seem to be leaking right now, and this fills in the gaps in FFG's product listings. For those who didn't know, the FFG inventory system had four mystery products listed with codes that placed them after Wave 7 ships, but BEFORE Wave 8 ones. It seems this will be a new starter set, the new "Force Awakens" X-wing, and new Imperial Tie Fighter, plus a new dice-set.

Should be an amazing chance to refresh the basic X-wing with some new pilots/upgrades.

Well, looks like I'll be picking up a third core set.

A couple folks have apparently implied that they aren't just repaints, with the new X-wing have hard-1 turns?

If you check out the picture with the models "in play" you can see a new icon behind BB-8.
Perhaps a new Droid Type so you can't mix and match the OT X-wing's Astromechs with new X-wing's?

The title of the thread needs a bit of tweaking but thanks for the info!

Other than the flagrant use of ellipsis what is wrong with the title?

Edit: Apparently it was edited before I noticed.

Fixed. Sorry, I was literally so excited that I rushed here to share it, and confused my upcoming sequel title, with mediocre video-game title. :-p

LOL, no worries. I actually liked the first force unleashed game but the second was a complete opportunity wasted. :(

And, just like that the legal ninjas have removed the images. :-( Well, at least a bunch of us got to see them. :-p

During Gencon a bunch of FFG folks implied SOMETHING would be on sale for Force-Friday, when Disney allows Force Awakens merch to go on sale in every area. Considering these boxes were obviously final product, it looks like these will sneak onto shelves in September.

One of my fellow admins on my Club FB page grabbed and reposted them, click the link in my sig.

Yeah they are different ships - its a T-70 X-Wing rather than a T-65 and the Tie's are different as well. Not sure if the X-Wing has hard 1 turns as we haven't seen the dial (only that it has a 3 straight green), but it does have the boost action by default, and one of the images of the pilot cards showed a pilot ability which let him use hard 1 turns for boosts. The Tie's also have four actions (not sure which).

Hmm ... a little hard to make out, but it looks like at least the new X-Wing is 3 attack, 2 agility, 3 hull, 2 shields. Same as the old? Can't make out the Tie's stats.

EDIT: noticed on the card the X-wing has a boost icon...

TIE/FO seems to have four actions. I am dying to see what the fourth will be.

I know the X-Wing is not just a repaint. I zoomed in on the top down view of the new X-Wing miniature while it was still available for viewing. It definitely has the split S-Foils and larger engine intakes of the T-70 X-Wing.

I just yesterday opened the first of my 3 starter sets

However, as I am collecting strictly Episode IV to VI stuff, and the rules are available free online, even if this new starter does have '2.0' rules, I'll hope I'll still be good to go. Maybe need new dice / rulers / markers if they are changed.

I doubt they'll change functionally, maybe cosmetically, but if they change anything too central to the way the game works it'll be a bit dubious to label it an "X Wing Miniatures" starter.

My money's on target lock.

Thanks for posting this, very interesting!

Best for me, me and my T-70s are ready:

Gimme a minute.

Here we go.

And the other.

I like the tweaks they made to the ships. Also it looks like some new upgrade symbols on both of them.
