Just received Twin Shadows, as with the base set :
- All cards have a noticeable curve to them.
- The hero cards are both twisted and bent.
Had similar problems with the Core Set - not the biggest problem in the world, but I'd expect more.
*Sigh* Are FFG unable to Produce Flat Cards ?
Store them properly and they will straighten. Mine are straight now. Its really not an issue.
Mine were always straight.

How do you store them ?
Between games I place my cards under one of the feet of my pet elephant, Edward. I've never had a problem.
Straight cards, non-straight cards. Are you some kind of cardophobe?
...
If it's a big deal, contact Customer support and they'll probably send you replacements. My cards weren't bent.
just got my wave 2 expansions today and all of my deployment/skirmish/agenda/mission cards are noticably curved as well. When I sleeved them they didnt lay flat at all.
none of my cards from the core set were curved like this.
pretty disappointing.
also one of the skirmish cards was printed REALLY off center as well.
Edited by rlannI have all my cards in sleeves and in a box insert. It has all my game components in it. To straighten your cards tho, just put them into any box or organizer and they will straighten up.
I used to see this same thing with baseball cards when I was young, but same thing. Put them in an organizer or even just stack them, and they will straighten.

In that case, I would definitely recommend contacting CS. I had 2 Probe droids completely off their bases in my second Core set, so I took a picture with my phone and contacted CS. No hassle at all. They sent two replacements out to me as soon as they were available. So if a card is printed off-center, then I'm absolutely sure they'll be happy to make it right. Basically, a picture is worth a thousand words. And FFG knows the importance of solid customer service, so I'm pretty sure you'll be fine.
BTW, I haven't noticed any bending problems with any of my cards so far.
*Sigh* can FFG produce normal sized cards, so that you don't have to buy their special brand of card sleeves?

Making extensive use of mini-cards us one of the best things FFG does.
Oh, and BTW, other companies make mini sleeves too, so you DONT have to buy FFG's.
Edited by ForgottenloreI also play the LCG and only once I had noticeably curved cards. After storing them in the middle of lots of others cards I can't really notice now. But try contacting FFG.
Sure, they can. Do you want them to jack up the price and have your cards take up twice as much storage and table space?*Sigh* can FFG produce normal sized cards, so that you don't have to buy their special brand of card sleeves?

Yeah, but the greys and the greens? Couldn't they have settled on one for all their games? (I think they're called European and US Standard).

I had broken droids in my second core set as well. they replaced them no problem. It's just pretty sh*tty that they would release cards like this in the first place. Pretty terrible quality control.
Also my Kayn Somos figure has a warped base like my IG-88 did as well.
This stuff certainly isn't worth the prices that they are charging for it IMO.
I haven't had any issues myself with the minis. Some of the cards have a slight curve sure but the insane humidity here hasn't helped with that. I just put all my cards in a binder and or sleeves anyway so they are fine after that. As for costs I find this to be the most affordable of the Star Wars miniature games they have.
Straight cards, non-straight cards. Are you some kind of cardophobe?
Not at all, and it's great that cards can now get married.
Warped miniatures can be fixed with warm water from the tap 
So far I have fixed Vader, IG-88, E-Webs, RG and Diala
Yeah miniatures are easier to fix. Actually all the cardboard in the box smells and feels a bit damp... I'll try leaving it out to dry, is this because it was packed in very high humidity ?

I fixed Vader's lightsaber and IG-88 pose with a hair dryer and cold water, but the warped base on IG didn't stay fixed.

Probably. Would explain all the curved cards. Seems like damage from humidity.

More affordable compared to Armada/X-Wing (which is of much better quality) yes, but for the most part IA is not very good quality for what it costs.
Don't get me wrong though. IA is my favorite FFG Star Wars game by far. I just wish purchasing it and it's expansion didn't also always involve having to contact FFG customer support...

Grey is regular playing card size, yellow is American mini. What size card is green and what games does FFG make that use it?
I wish they would get orange tarot size sleeves back in stock, but that is a complaint for the armada boards.

Imperial Assault uses greens. Same height as greys, but a little narrower.
