I wonder if/how this will affect the lists at The Worlds?

Latest update, Boat was seized in the South China Sea, while travelling in restricted area as an arms shipment, more news to follow!!!!

"The boat was suddenly and violently liberated by a small boat full of men of varying ages. Their identities are not known, but as they left, they were arguing about something called a maneuver dial"

Hell, if it meant I could get a Raider directly off the boat I'd take out any pirate with a cheese grater!

I wonder if/how this will affect the lists at The Worlds?

Assuming it shows up in time (which it probably will): Vader. Vader everywhere.

In fact I was almost sorta hoping that we wouldn't have it in time to make it legal for Worlds; it would have been fun to see the top tourney post-Whisper, pre-Vader.

Not that I mind Vader as much as Whisper, but you better believe he's going to be sitting in that spot right alongside Fel...

the rebel epic ships were on a boat and in hands withing 5 weeks from memory

x-wing rebel transport on the boat 11th of april

tantive on the boat 24th of april

i believe i had the rebel transport in habd on the 30th of april

only not i have on the tantive was it was "shipping now" on the 13th of may

Assuming it shows up in time (which it probably will): Vader. Vader everywhere.

I certainly hope so. A pilot that iconic should have a solid place in the game.

Uh oh it's being released before worlds!!!!! What on earth are people going to do now that it'll be available during a tournament season?! How will they ever be able to compete knowing someone could be using vader and adv targeting computer?! That's it, might as well throw in the towel, how dare ffg not wait to release it!

Great, we might be able to ask Santa for it

Is it this Raider?

I'm more excited for Palpatine than the X1. He's going to do some dirty, dirty things.

Yeah, Papa Palpatine is a dirty, dirty card. We have a player that's proxying him in the following list:

RAC (46) w/EPT (1-3), EU (4), Palpatine (8) & Isard (4) - 63-65, depending on pilot skill

Soonter Fel (27) w/PTL (3). Title (0), Autothrusters (2) & Stealth Device (3) - 35

Soontir Fel is going to see lots of play with the emperor...

Vader still has its limitations. The Advanced still doesnt have the best dial for what it is suppossed to do in my opinion and two actions are worthless if you make a k-turn. Honestly i almost expect more Eclipses that Vaders.

Yes, but Vader w/ Engine Upgrade doesn't need to K-turn. He can 2 turn, barrel roll back, and then boost. Or 3 turn and the same.

It will be interesting to see the Emperor at Worlds.

When is US Nationals? Is it at Gencon? If so, what if they sell the card before the tournament starts? Does that mean someone can buy it right before and slip it in his list? That would be so cool in my opinion.

Yes, but it's unfortunately nothing interesting.

Is it just me or does the TIE/Adv from the Raider look like it needs a black ink wash?

Let's hope it's just a production model and not the finished product.

Edit: ok, the image looks like it's CGI and not the real item.

Palpatine is good, but he's not going to have near the impact on Imperial list-building that the TIE/x1 title will have (much less the new pilots).

It's better to burn out than to fade away?

More that it's in the July preview, for things releasing in July

No. Pre-releases at Gencon are not tournament legal.

Stop me, oh-ho-ho stop me, stop me if you think that you've heard this one before...

Nothing's changed...

The first transport is...okay I don't have to finish the line...do I?

Not only do you have to finish it, you've got to say it twice.
