new core set?

By frogy84, in X-Wing

Is this a target only item if so how do people get them witj out the store. our is x wing going tp only be sold at target now

We don't know. Should know more tomorrow.

X-Wing is not going to be Target only even if somehow this core set ends up being exclusive to them for a while.

It's probably not a Target exclusive. One person heard that their game store can't buy it, but that's the only indication we have that other game stores might not be able to purchase it. And even then, we're only talking about the core set. Target will probably never carry expansions for this game, so I think we can rest assured that we'll be able to get our ships from our game stores for the foreseeable future.

Since there is no big red sticker declaring it a Target exclusive, it isn't.

So all have to get it a target so i can the new rules hate this limited release stuff

Watch everyone's gonna get this core set and find out that the bases and maneuver templates are just a little bit smaller than everything else..... meaning that it's not compatible with the rest of the game! OMG that would be awful but morbidly hillarious at the same time. and awful.

One person heard that their game store can't buy it...

I haven't seen anyone say that and have it be conclusive. The truth is until tomorrow we simply don't know what will happen.

But myself I'll be shocked if this is a Target only thing, or even a Big Box only type thing. I would also be surprised if my LGS doesn't have some in next week.

So I have to get it at a Target so I can have the new rules ? I hate this limited release stuff.

No one said that.

I'll be driving to mine Saturday but midnight madness isn't for me. Spoilers tomorrow will let me know how much other stuff I'm buying.

My LGS has tried to order it, but can't. It's coming out first for Target, and then the rest of the game stores.

True. They just said they were told that the store couldn't get it -- with no mention of a time frame.

And seeing as how I was told by an FLGS employee that I would have to special order wave VII and then showed up to find Wave VII ships all over the wall, I know that game store employees don't always have all the information. We should definitely take that one comment with a grain of salt.

So i better drive the 2hrs to traget tonite so i can get one so i up to date with rules. and yes i believe this a limited release bs it should be open to all not the lucky ones to get it at target

We have no reason to believe it will only be at Target.

and yes i believe this a limited release bs

Believe what you want, and do what you want. But there is no way this will be an Target exclusive. It may be next week before LGS' get it, but more then that and I'll be shocked.

So i better drive the 2 hrs to Target tonight so i can get one so i up to date with rules. and yes i believe this a limited release bs it should be open to all not the lucky ones to get it at target

You're not listening to any of us. You are making assumptions based on little to no evidence.

Or wait until 8am tomorrow morning when a Target that isn't opening at midnight will open and have the item in stock.

Both are characteristic of trolls.

Then why is it the only place geting it so its now pay to play and rush to target to get it i mean we all need the new rules to.play

Hi everyone. I am the manager for a FLGS here in southern california, and recently started playing x wing (and carrying x wing). I can tell you as of yesterday there has been no news from our distributors regarding EP7 core sets. We did get a shipment of the old core sets just this past week though. I am going again today to visit our distributors, hopefully I will find out more.

Then why is it the only place geting it [citation needed] so its now pay to play and rush to target to get it i mean we all need the new rules to.play

Fixed that.

OMFG. No one said it is the ONLY place. And for the love of all the gods, spell check.

The fact that you haven't seemed to read a single thing anyone else is saying makes me think strike 1...

its now pay to play

Strike 2... It is not pay to play any more then it ever was. And no we don't need the new rules to play, they are functionally the same as the old rules.

The only thing you may need, and even that is a big question at this time, is the new damage deck. But even if it becomes required it will only be so for official events.

For the benefit of anyone who doesn't know this stuff and who is actually reading this thread...

The most logical scenario here is that LGSs are unable to keep secrets. Since Disney required that this stuff be kept secret until tomorrow he distributors (or possibly the next level up) are not allowed to tell the local stores about this or let them order it until tomorrow. The big box stores have more clout, customers and legal departments to protect them against reprisals due to leaks and so have them but the info leaked.

The upshot is that the LGSs will almost certainly be able to start ordering the new stuff tomorrow.. They will probably have the stuff on shelves next week.
