Wanna PM me your source for TIE Interceptors?

Same! I need one, maybe 12. CURSE YOU TOM!

I saw some at B&N not long ago -- although, since I preorder everything and therefore never buy ships retail what I perceive as "not long ago" might actually be months ago.

Yeah, aside from third party price gouging B&N dried up a while ago.

Price gouging you say? I actually do still have one interceptor still in its package. I'll let it go for 500USD, first come first serve.

I'll give you 20$ and and a smack in the mouth for it!

Just be patient and when you do get more ships who knows they might have better paintjobs and sculpts.

Wave 2 ships are all listed as on the boat so the shortage will likely be temporarily relieved in another month or so. Wave 1 reprints are still at the factory along with the wave 3 stuff (info from the FFG website that may help).

New Faq is up, looks like a bit of a game changer!

What jumps out at you there MajorTom11?
I'm not super familiar with all the Rebel upgrade cards so maybe I'm missing something significant there.

Find it odd that they specify Primary Attack with Luke Skywalker, but still don't clarify whether or not "no other attacks" applies to just the ship or to the entire squadron.

yeah,
 
Ok so the next StarWars animation TV show is called 'Star Wars Rebels'
Set between EPIII and EpIV the styling of the show will join up the aesthetics. 
 
The main rebel protagonists ship is going to be called 'the ghost'

 

 

 

IMO - We can only hope and pray that FFG gets access to these ships!
What do you think?

Panic...

I think this thing looks like a Falcon that crashed on Tatooine and was fixed by blind Javas on crack.

In other words, I don't like it.

Would buy tho, the sucker I am.

It looks like Rendar's Outrider without the 'spar' and blended with a generic cargo freighter or a Cloakshape fighter.

It looks like an A-Wing made in Minecraft...

I'm not a fan of it visually but I don't dislike it either. Like with the Moldy Crow, I'll likely get a single one (instead of the usual 2-4) just for a copy of the upgrade cards if they incorporate it into x-wing. I'm glad that they've fully covered the original trilogy fighters first though.

So a small freighter crewed by a plucky band of misfit rebels tries to find their way in the wake of a lost war. This sounds to me like animated Firefly with Star Wars aliens.

This is a glorious, shiny day.

There is absolutely nothing to say this would be part of the game... who knows if FFG will have access to this IP. No need to get excited just yet... I somehow feel it will be more likely to see prequel ships before this.

Actually, it looks a lot like a YT-1300 with a central cockpit and the more uncommon cylindrical engines instead of the more common widebar engines.

I like it.

It does say that it looks to be a mix between a B-17 and the Millennium Falcon (which is a yt-1300 )

Yeah,

indeed!
Plus scope for characters fleeing the clone wars / epIII to join the rebels / have cameos...
I know the Ahsoka end of clone wars made a lot of kids cry...
This would make them (...and me) happy.

I disagree, because of this shows place in the time line, this ship is much more likely to fly along side a Xwing.

To me it looks like the lander from aliens mixed with the millennium falcon. Which makes sense as this also looks like an atmospheric capable ship, which I'm sure story arcs will require!

You misunderstand my reasoning, timeline totally appropriate yes. My hesitation to think this would come out anytime soon is based on the timeline of when FFG got the licencing, what portion of the IP they were granted, whether it covered new IP or not. Not to mention they negotiated with Lucasfilm and if this requires re-negotiation, they are now going to be across the table from disney and who knows what the results of that may be. Likewise, were I FFG, I might wait to see what kind of reception the show gets and wait for some brand recognition to build around the ship in the community too. As far as fluff goes sure it makes perfect sense, my questioning is entirely business based though.

To note, I am quite hopeful the new show will be great, as what could be more perfect for FFG to mine new ships from! Just don't want to count chickens before they are hatched. When is that show out btw?

Supposedly Disney had approved continuation of X-Wing after they acquired Lucasfilm.

Yeah,

That still doesn't specify covered IP, if it is a blanket brand approval to all assets, trilogy only, prequel and EU not-withstanding... though the HWK being in there is a sign they may have access to at least portions of it if not the whole enchilada at least up to the point of the deal. It could also be blanket, covering any ship anywhere under the brand, which would be awesome. I have no idea which it is, just a little hesitant to assume with faith just yet

Seems like a solid addition to the meriad of ships available in the Star Wars universe. I'm not excited, but not disappointed either. I would like to see the show utilize some ships established in novels and RP supplements as being 'pre-Yavin' as well.

I love that ship!

I hope FFG can nab the license for the show. Given that it's Rebellion-era, that show could provide a slew of great new models for the game.

I'm gonna go ahead and say that I don't like the new ship. I'll go into my reasons later when not on my phone.

What do you think?

I fracking love it!

If this show is bridging prequels and OT, I'd far prefer it if the Empire flew V-wings instead of TIEs.

Unless the show takes place right before OT instead of right after prequels.
