I was looking at the part of the website where it shows production status on the different expansions. The TIE fighter was in Reprint status, with a little banner that said 'updated'. Does that mean it will be different in some way? any fixes to FAQ'd things or such? Maybe will look like the fat ties on rebels, lol?

I've noticed that too - figured it was just a quirk

It just means it's getting ready to go back to the printers. There apparently isn't a "Getting ready to be reprinted" status. So they use Updated.

Updated means its status has changed recently.

its actually secret code for Tie Avenger....

all new Howlrunners will cost 20 points. sucks to be a newbie.

I actually think that in the current state of the game, Howlrunner is now actually appropriately costed.

Even the tie swarm has a hard time against the Falcon if flown well.

And now people are learning how to take Howlswarm against Whisper.

Basically, these three archetypes are becoming fully evolved.

Your opinions?

Really? I heard you could use Howlrunner for offense or defense, once per ship per turn.

If only......

Might be updating the new packaging ; adding the Disney trademark...

It comes with the Swarm Tactics card. Maybe that's been updated to reflect the changes in the FAQ.

Have they really bumped up the price on Howlrunner?

sigh

"Updated" on the upcoming products means that the status was changed recently. Whether it is being added to the docket or the changing of a status. It has no bearing on what is actually being printed. If there was an errata, than a new printing would likely have it.
