2016 Store Championship kit contents leak via Italian distributor

By Otacon, in X-Wing

Alt art C-3P0 (though the image of the kit implies an Imperial card without showing the front, maybe is a placeholder; the same case with Netrunner showing the card back of the wrong faction for the card named), blue acrylic range ruler, and a medal/coin/medallion thing.

Well that is interesting. Anyone able to translate all of that ?

Google did a pretty solid job. 33 copies of C-3P0, 9 range rulers, 5 challenge coins(the 'extra' copies of all three presumably intended for the TO as usual), and the usual regionals bye.

Somewhat similar to their Netrunner kit for this year they're a bit late to the party with doing an alt art for a highly in demand card; X-wing's because it's only available in an Epic ship, Netrunner because the pack Jackson Howard comes seems to be eternally out of stock...

Challenge coin ?

Very interesting that they're deploying a very strong card from a very expensive deluxe box. Will make it easier for newer players to get a copy. Wonder if they'll do the same for Palpatine or the X1 title?

Challenge coin ?

That might be an artifact of the google translation, but you can see that metal Imperial symbol there in the image. I would have figured a medal like they do in the game night kits but I guess they decided to go with something different.

The Emperor is a distinct possibility, but handing out single X1 titles seems unlikely...

Challenge coin ?

Probably an acrylic version of the initiative token found in the new Core.

Anyway, taken with a grain of salt. It seems a bit early for this.

Really interesting. I wonder if they are going to start doing this more often. I think it would be a good idea.

Nice of them to give us a 3PO.

It reminds me of the balance of the force coin for the 2013 lcg regionals

It's not an artifact of translator, it's the correct translation from Italian.

Anyway i guess it has been previously translated from english from Ffg, so it may be anything after the double passage :D

I believe the term "Challenge Coin" refers to a contest where people compare coins, and whoever has the weakest coin has to buy beers. We used to do that in the Army. Not refering to money, but units, and high ranking officers woudl get "coins" that they coudl distribute to soldiers who were doing something good. If you got a General's coin for example, you wanted to keep in on you in case you got challenged.

This is great if accurate. We have imperial lasers, rebel lasers, and ion cannons for range rulers.
