So any word now on what the other 2 SKUs are for?

By Ken on Cape, in X-Wing

Unless you weren't around when wave 1 came about, it should be really super obvious. The next 2 SKUs will be a FO TIE and the T-70 blister packs. They will likely wait until Disney gives them the go-ahead to release them because they will have plenty of named pilots (the core set was notably lacking in named pilots).

I was about to say...its possible we won't see the next two expansions until the movie is released, since Disney probably doesn't want all the character/tech details out in the game and FFG probably doesn't want to have to cook up 'Mauve Squadron Ace', 'Gofast Killpedo', and 'Jhurk Baadgui'.

We have 2 new ships in the core set that one can only assume will be available individually. It seems to me that the two missing numbers are most probably reserved for the expansion release.

So, if they are individual repacks of the new XWing and the new TIE Fighter, will we see new pilots in those repacks? We had new pilots in the individual X-Wing and TIE Fighter packs that did not appear in the old Core Set.

They had better, otherwise the incentive to get the whole expansion pack is reduced. One of the selling points for expansions is new/different pilots.

We only have named pilots thanks to the EU so ffg is kinda stuck until new films get more info and world building behind them so expect to see more aces.

N-1 Starfighter with Jar Jar and 7-year-old Anakin pilots.

Droid Fighter piloted by Bea Arthur from the Star Wars Christmas special.

AND YOU'LL STILL BUY THEM.

'Mauve Squadron Ace', 'Gofast Killpedo', and 'Jhurk Baadgui'.

Gofast Killpedo is OP, and a sign of power creep.

It's just odd to have Poe in the core and then his x-wing in something else.

Plus they couldn't even name the second unique in the core and if they do a separate T-70 and Aces that's another 4 unique pilots.

I think the aces pack with the other paint scheme is a likely product, but not as a pre-film release, more likely when they have some people to fill those seats, mind you it would be cool if Luke could fly a T-70.

I would really like to have something else than just one boring T70, and one boring F/O (maybe cog). I have written before about the lack of named pilots.

My thought is some form of Resistance and New Order packs similar to the Most Wanted packs. these would have new Pilots for existing ships. I mean the new Falcon toy comes with Finn and Chewie, not Han.

(..)

One more indication that Han is going to a spectular heroic death scene in the new film?

At least one of the old crowd is going to die but it'll probably be Luke because the master has to die for the young ones to step up and become the new heroes. plus he can totes just become more powerful that you can possibly imagine.

It's already been spoiled that LOL in Episode VII. Not an official spoiler, but an "all indications are" type spoiler.

that's pretty much the biggest surprise in the movie and you just threw it out there. like, c'mon, man. no one came into this thread expecting to get spoiled on the movie's plot.

IT WAS NOT MY INTENTION TO GET ON THE SPOILER TRAIN.

We all know from the teaser trailer alone that Han and Chewie are not on the Falcon at one point in the movie and I was merely pointing out that new fans would want to fly the Falcon with Finn as the pilot especially since the new toy has him as the pilot and not Han.

We do not know when Finn fly's it or when Han gets it back we just know that Finn does indeed fly the Falcon.

SO PLEASE STOP WITH THE SPOILERS

Thank you and Good Night
