So, with discussion on this kit being rather lack luster, I figured I'd take a look at what there could be for future game nights.

Lets try to keep it to the same theme that most of the kits seem to have...

1 Medal

1 Poster

2 Sets of acrylic goodies

2 Card boxes

2 Named alt art

17 generic alt art

Obviously not every kit has had all of this, nor do I expect every kit will from now on... If they've gotten rid of the medal from the 14S2 kit, I doubt they'll add it back in for the 14S3 kit.

We're starting to run out of acrylic things though... We already have

Target Locks

Focus

Evade

Shield

Stress

Ion

Seismic

Proton

Proximity

Dice

Ruler

Templates

The only tokens I can think of remaining are the critical hit tokens and number chits... And I suppose asteroids. I don't expect the number chits to ever happen since they're interference fit with the bases.

So, for the 2014 S3 kit, I'm thinking they'll hand out acrylic critical hit tokens. If they hand out prize support at nats (last year it seems they did TL 1-10) or worlds (messenger bags for top 4) I would expect that to be asteroids... Though I'm not 100% convinced that they'll show up ever...

They could also go a different direction and start handing out epic play stuff. It'd also be possible that S3 would have an acrylic cloaking token.

As for alternate art, I have no clue what they're going to give out. SC, 14S1 and AIA seem like they were promoting the new stuff... But Regionals + 14S2 seem like they're trying to put out useful cards. I suppose this one is up in the air, but I'm going to randomly say Fel as the unique and Rookie as the generic. For Nats + Worlds, I'm thinking maybe Horton and Maarek?

And then for a card box, we went X wing -> Y wing, and TIE fighter -> TIE interceptor... so that means they're going in order with ships that are used... so I'm going to go with B wing and Bomber, though it could be YT and FS, those would be cool.

And I think they'll stop the medals.

Acrylic cloak tokens, assuming Wave 4 is out by then!

Just more Acryllics, lots more. 10 Ion tokens is a bit of a joke. As is 1 of each bomb token in 2014 S2 kit. They could easily double or triple the Acryllics for £5 more.

I would like 1 special version of a ship.

So then would you support rereleasing tokens that have already been released? I can see that for the TL, because you can always use different numbers, plus few people have them... but the rest of the tokens, one is as good as another... I know that I'd be really disappointed if they started to rerelease sets, even if they were in different designs to differentiate them.

That's a cool idea... I actually thought of that awhile ago when discussing STAW vs. XWM and I said that I would like to see special edition paint jobs or whatever that indicated that you won such and such event, but without actually effecting the game play.

I could see FFG putting custom painted ships in the kits.

I think they try and keep it pretty low key to NOT have massive EBAY sales of stuff, though they can't stop it, they can lower it with less "super special" things.

I think they need to do cards that we use more - like all the no name ones. we can use 4 alt reds or rookies, we can only use 1 Ten Numb and I have 3. Named alts are nice, but if oyu play more then one you have more then needed.

Alt paint is nice and all, but they are not going to waste time and special runs for that. Plus the online ebay stuff would blow that way up.

I know they have had your list you have here out, but just rerelease them, I don't have an acrylics from them, so there are plenty of us that didn't get them, so maybe other colors, just to mix it up.

I fully agree with you on this!

I just got into the game around christmas, and placed second in the first ever X-Wing OP event in my city.

I (and other players from the area) want some acrylic tokens even if experienced players have had them for a couple years now.

Alt paint jobs are probably cost prohibitive for small runs. Especially with the quality control each paint job must go through before going into actual production.

I wish they would do this. It would be a much cooler prize than a card box and some acrylic tokens.

B-Wing and TIE Bomber, you say?

Why, those are coming in the Summer 2014 Tournament Kit.

I think for the Fall 2014 Tournament Kit, we'll probably see Wave 4 ships ... most likely the E-Wing and TIE Defender. And I agree that the medals aren't coming back. As far as acrylics, critical hit tokens seem likely, but maybe they'll bring back the Target Lock tokens, just with different numbers.

But what I really, REALLY want are LOADED DICE!

Soooo jealous of Star Trek: Attack Wing

[/sarcasm]

Must have Bomb tokens, and Academy Pilots!!!!

Wow... I totally spaced on the fact that they were included in 14S2... I wonder if I subconsciously knew that thus the recommendation or if I just guessed it accurately. I'm going with the former. I could see W4 stuff if it was out by then, which I think it will be. But if it's not, or if FFG isn't 100% sure that it will be by the time the S3 kit comes out, I could see going with YT/FS then.

I'd like to see acrylic ship bases that have the pilot info painted/printed on. I think that alt paint schemes on already released ships would be way cool, but not very practical. Plus they will probably do the repaints and sell them as "Aces" packs anyway. Alt card art is likely as they've shown a willingness to use non movie art as the alternate (i.e. the Imdaar Alpha Z-95 participation card).

Someone mentioned the secondary market, and I would just say that FFG can eliminate that at any time by re-releasing the goodies or just straight up selling the tokens/cards themselves.

Seeing as how the only acrylic item I own is a range ruler from the store championships a couple months back, I would definetly like to see them redo some of the other acrylic tokens again so I have a chance to get them.

The Summer 2014 TK won't even be out until July, according to the announcement page. The Imdaar Alpha tournaments are the end of May and beginning of June, and Wave 4's official release certainly will be by the end of July, even when taking into account FFG's signature delays. So I'm sure the Fall 2014 TK will be out well after Wave 4 releases.
