I wish the cards normally looked like this. They're pilot cards! I already have the ship, I don't need a bunch of pictures of it. Don't get me wrong, there is some neat art in this game, but I wish the pilot cards showed the pilots and the art wasn't all squished up.

Having ours this Saturday

I thought it was a store championship you were having this Saturday ? I'll update the event lists I have posted.

Its really nice having alternate cards, allows you to go through and remember what event you got it at

I have the dice bag, it is smaller than the x wing version that top 8 in store championships got. I really want the alt art card for push the limit.

Everything but the bags looks great, the only thing I use the bags for is cushion for fragile ships.

Found out the deadline for that was Oct 3 so our store missed that deadline

Dec 29 was cut-off for spring kit

Someone told me Dec29 was sc cut off

Also while I like the art on the PTL card I have to disagree with the concept of upgrade card alt art from a game play perspective. The art is what helps you identify whats on the other side of the board from you more easily. Yes, you and your opponent go over it with each other before hand but during a game you refresh your memory by glancing over from time to time. This confuses that. Also I just generally prefer alt art pilots and ships. It's more meaningful, at least to me.

I feel the exact opposite way.

Alt upgrades are so much more fundamentally useful than alt pilots. If someone isn't interested in novelty, collectability, or advertising their event experience then an alt pilot has basically no use for them. All of mine get sleeved and then go into the same box as my billions of extra cardboard tokens/plastic bases.

Whereas an alt upgrade can actually expand a player's collection of useable game materials. Someone who doesn't own a PTL card (or only owns 1 copy, or 2 copies, etc.) will be able to build more lists after attending one of these events than they were able to build before attending.

I'm going to my first event on Sunday. So I'd be happy with just about anything, frankly.

This describes my situation. I'm super excited for the new PTL card *because* I don't have the regular one in my collection.

Fair point. Personally I have four A-wings and two Imp-Aces so I never really considered PTL a hard get. If they did Predator that would be something notable.

But Alt Pilot cards really should also come with a base. An alt Fel is useless unless you already have Fel.

Man, that'd be sweet.

I don't understand why they didn't go with Alt-art Engine Upgrade - as the first thing.

Especially given the ongoing shortage of that expansion.

wonder what would happen if they did an alt art C3PO crew card..lol

I like FFG mixing it up with bags and boxes. Personally I have a ton of boxes at this point but they're nice for keeping other things in, and I wouldn't mind a scum themed one now. That being said the bags are just too big. They're functionally useless for anything pertaining to this game.

I love the bag I got at a store championship because now I have a way of keeping my asteroids and small maneuver templates handy yet stored.

I keep my dice, ships and chits in plastic organizer trays. Those trays are housed in a vinyl bag with lots of pockets. In one of those pockets I keep all my maneuver templates, but I don't put the one-speed templates in there because they're a bit small to fish out. They are about the same size as the asteroids, though, so I keep the one-speed templates and asteroids all together. I previously kept them in a box where I store my pilot cards (the box, along with another box that stores upgrade cards, sits on top of the plastic organizers in the vinyl bag) but it was a bit of a hassle to open up the box and pull out all those tokens. Sometimes they'd get wedged behind the stack of cards or the cards would fall on top of them ... it was annoying.

Now I just keep my asteroids and one-speed templates in the bag, which is easy enough to pull out and dump but small enough not to get in the way. It's great.

Don't really need another bag, though, heh.

The Dice bags fit the Decimator pretty well. Haha. It's nice to have an extra layer of padding around the ship when it is bouncing around in my box.
