Pop! has released a new C3PO with a red arm instead of the old silver foot. its part on the new range from TFA. See it here

Does this mean there could be a new C3PO card coming one day soon?

Will it strengthen you attack like the current one strengthens your defence?

Could it be guess the number of attack dice?

How about the "Hand of 3PO" guess every dice roll then add or minus you correct guess to the total dice rolled?

or am I bored seeking amusement?

what do you all think?

I think every important critter from the classic films will see an upgrade for the new films in the FFG X-WING product range.

If we start getting new versions every time a character loses an arm we're going to be drowning in Vader.

He definitely lost more limbs in the Clone Wars then in the Galactic Civil War, I think we're safe.

It wouldn't be the worst idea to see new versions of old characters like Han.

I hope they release C3PO alternate art version as a store-tournament participation price.

Like instead of recon specialicst/PTL-cards in these kits:

C3PO 2.0:

Once per round Every time, before you roll 1 or more defense dice, you may guess aloud a number of evade results. If you roll that many results (before modifying dice) , add so many evade results.

That would be crazy! Imagine how many people would want to participate! How the guys that bought the CR-90 just for him would be enraged! I would love it...but I don't belive this is going to happen. So far they only gave us pretty common generic upgrades. Of course two is not a great sample size, but I'd go by this for now.

Sure, for about 15 pts? Sounds about correct.

Possibly under costed at that.

I would never buy the CR-90 just for him. I would get it for the ship itself, but I have observed that ppl buy CR-90 just for 3PO.

But most who get the CR-90 for 3PO have gotten him already, and played lots with him. From a buisniss-standpoint it seems like a good idea if you ask me. Besides, not everyone will win them, and PPL might wanna buy the CR-90 anyways.

C3P0, R2D2 (crew), and Han Solo (crew) need to be promo cards... Even with the Tantive at $60 on amazon, there is still a large portion of players that will never buy it. But, if they do give us poor duds all a high five, then the people who bought the Tantive just for the card would cry foul instead.

And I'm not liking the idea of new cards of characters already in the game. What would they call them? "New arm C3P0", "Older, slightly fatter Han", "Older look-the-same Chewie", "Non existent Extended Universe pilot 1,2,3,4,5...". Obviously I'm be a little facetious here, but you get the point.

I don't understand the Pop phenomenon - those things are just weird looking and they all look the same. (shrug)

Maybe they all are generals now. So, General Han, General Chewie, (maybe cabin boy Luke), etc

I think if they do additional versions of existing characters, they'll need a new name.

Like if they did a new Luke, he couldn't simply be called Luke Skywalker.... he'd need a smaller sub-title in italics, like:

• Luke Skywalker

Jedi Master

With PZ-4C0 and Buford "B-U4D" i don't see a need to have a new C-3P0 card, except for as a tournament prize with alternate art depicting his new appearance.

Has a new arm

I guess they weren't able to just reattach that left arm like they did in ANH and ESB. Poor 3PO, always falling apart. At least he's not on that battle droid body anymore...

Wait...

Battle 3PO! If the player says 'roger roger' add one hit result to attack dice.

On second thought, maybe they should have left him on the junk pile...

Were you involved with the Age of Sigmar ruleset...?

I think you're probably right, but at the same time, characters from the new film will be part of the new factions (e.g. Resistance instead of Rebellion, First Order instead of Empire).

You already can't have more than one Han Solo/Luke Skywalker/Biggs etc in your team, right?

So the differentiator here could be faction maybe?

Same way they differentiated in the old Decipher CCG.

New arm and a new line of text "you may not guess zero"

If we start getting new versions every time a character loses an arm we're going to be drowning in Vader.

I imagine he will still have the bullet point denoting his unique status, he is still C3pO so you won't be able to take both in one list. It's no different than not being able to take dash crew and dash pilot in the same list.

If we start getting new versions every time a character loses an arm we're going to be drowning in Vader.

The entire Skywalker family has serious limb attachment issues.

New arm and a new line of text "you may not guess zero"

Where would they possibly fit it?

I'd be okay letting them still guess zero, but it gives them stress if they do. And then they can't guess zero as long as they're stressed. But if "You may not guess zero" won't fit, no way hell that novel is going to.
