FFG Fixing The Falcon & TIE Fighter In Q3?

By Joe Boss Red Seven, in X-Wing

Hi guys and gals, I was reading the new FAQ last week and I noticed something this week.

In the current FAQ the Falcon and good ole TIE have several errata of their cards...okay fine.

This week I noticed that both of these wonderful ships are in the red, development/reprint status.

I think the new Q3 releases will have updated cards. What do you all think?

The reason I am bringing this up is because I am about to get a lot of new dupes of these ships.

Now I think that I might better wait for a few months.

Thoughts on this?

Whenever a ship goes for a reprint it spends time "in development" That doesn't mean their changing anything major. They might be tweaking some rules text in the pamphlet, or fixing something like the Lambda Wing issue, but otherwise I wouldn't expect anything big.

Oh I know, they say that little if any changes are made if the red ship is just a reprint.

The thing is I do not want to buy two or three Falcons for YT conversions, and ten TIEs for Epic now, and then have the upgrade and pilot cards be fixed later in Q3...Ahh!

:lol:

What do you expect them to change? I'd guess that Luke with be declared "No Huge ships or something like that" Hell, large Ship only would barely affect his usage, but would kill my dreams of an R2-D2 piloted X-Wing with a Crew Slot....

Just the wording on the cards, like Howl Runner and Chewie, and other cards that are included in the updated FAQ. I would rather have the most up to date cards... before I buy a lot of new toys.

I'll wait then get them and the little mistakes will still be there.

:lol:

FFG has said before that it goes to in development just because its in a aqueue to go back to printng. nothing changes

So I can buy a whole pile of TIEs now and the same paperwork will be in the new ones in Q3.

Not *entirely* true, it has been shown that the model for the Tie Advanced changed a little in the past year, someone with a newer one has more detail on the front of theirs than my old one does. To your point, your right that they don't change much.

You sure that's not just a finer paintjob? They used to really slop the paint on there, but now they are more refined so the details of the model show through.

Dab-Nabbit -To-Heck...somebody stop me from buying these ten Ties now now now!

Epic...need ten TIE-TIE-Yahhh!

:o

I can't cite the source, but I have read that reprints of older ships will have updated card text in line with the errata on the FAQ. Not a major change for anything that's come up so far, depends if you want to keep referencing the .pdf for minor updates or not. Worth noting that most of the reprints listed on the upcoming page of the site have an "updated" banner on the graphic. Does anyone have both a first run & a reprint of the A-Wing, B-Wing, or Interceptor for comparison?

Yeah I am going to just grab up a couple more core sets and hold off on the ten TIE Expansions and the trio of Falcons that I want right this second.

It will piss me off to have a bunch of nice updated ships come out in three months or so, knowing that I have all of the old stuff.

:(:o:angry:

Wait for new updated stuff...dummy.

:lol:

To my knowledge, they have not yet updated any of the wording in reprints to reflect cards that have errata. I could be wrong on this because I have not made a comparison between original and reprinted versions. Has anyone done this?

FYI, when the graphic on the Upcoming page says "Updated", it only means that it has moved from one category to another - i.e from "Concept Stage" to "In Development" to "At the printer" etc.

...you task me Zig...yes you do.

:ph34r:

...you task me Zig...yes you do.

:ph34r:

Well, most of my stuff I bought on the first runs, and I don't have any reprints to compare to... :D

knowing that I have all of the old stuff.

Not old. Vintage.

I asked FFG and they will fix errata with reprints.

Oh I know, they say that little if any changes are made if the red ship is just a reprint.

The thing is I do not want to buy two or three Falcons for YT conversions, and ten TIEs for Epic now, and then have the upgrade and pilot cards be fixed later in Q3...Ahh!

:lol:

If I'm seeing this right, there are actually no pilot cards that need to be "fixed". The only cards that have received errata (and therefore warrant a reprint) are Boost, Daredevil, Expert Handling, Gunner, Luke Skywalker (crew), Proximity Mines and Swarm Tactics. So the ones that you are concerned about are Luke (in the YT-1300 pack) and Swarm Tactics (TIE Fighter pack). But as I said I cannot confirm that these have been or will be fixed in reprints. Anyone? Bueller?

I report my FFG email:

My Message:

X-Wing Miniatures: do you fix the errata over the cards when you release ship''s reprints? For example the Proximity Mines card text is wrong based on your''s FAQs.

Thx.

FFG anwser:

Thank you for you question. We do update the cards when we reprint them. Please let me know if you have anymore questions and I would be happy to help!
Thanks and take care!

Thanks for posting this. I am going to make due with a few more core sets... for now.

Dab-Nabbit -To-Heck...somebody stop me from buying these ten Ties now now now!

Epic...need ten TIE-TIE-Yahhh!

:o

Wouldn't that give you 13? And isn't there a max 8 ships of any one type rule?

Maybe that can stop you rushing out to buy 10 ships?
