C-3PO promo question

By cpdilloway, in X-Wing

Is the C-3PO available for the store championships or the regionals? Is it a participation prize? Thanks for the help!

It is a top-32 prize for Store Championships. Which, unless your Store Championship is abnormally large, means it is essentially a participation prize. :)

we were two short at ours but two people dropped so that made it easy.

It is a store championship prize for top 32. Many store Championships do not reach 32, but some do. Fortunately, there are usually multiple Store Championships in an area, so you can usually get one at a second if you don't win one the first time.

In before somebody complains about buying the Tantive just for C-3PO and now others are essentially getting it for free.

I hope there are a lot of the slimy buggers.

Imagine buying a hundred dollar expansion just for a competitive card and then complaining when that ridiculous pay wall is knocked down.

The nerve.

Let's all take glee in their squirming.

C3PO is annoying enough that you should have to buy the Tantive to get him. Now we'll see him everywhere.

He's overrated imo. Good? Yes. Better than the alternatives? Not as far as I'm concerned.

I doubt we'll be seeing him much more than usual

As an owner of the Tantive since it was released it does not bother me in the least that they have offered this card as a participation prize. They may have actually decided on this due to the complaints on here that it was wrong to have to buy a large ship for one card. I'm glad that many of you who haven't picked up the Tantive will now be able to have Threepio in your squads, but I do feel sorry for you that you haven't experienced Epic Play. I have always enjoyed Epic but the last two releases have really made the game that much better. Besides, now I have one more alt art card that I want to add to my collection.

You hope that a large number of individuals exhibit a trait you find undesirable just so you can revel in their discomfort (which they wouldn't feel if they didn't have that trait)?

Honestly, I'm still planning on buying the Tantive IV for the standard-compatible crew cards even after I get a promo 3P0.

... You know, I've heard a lot of people talk about that, but I haven't heard a Tantive Owner complain about the promo, to be honest.

OK. I'm a Tantive owner and I'll complain about it. :P

Just a buyer-beware thing- While you can use Han Solo and Leia in non-epic games, they're really meant for Epic games. Han primarily exists to let Rebel Huge Ships change focuses to hits, while Leia's ability is strong, but you can't fit her ride and a good selection of jousters in a 100 point game. So without 3P0, it's basically just R2-D2 in there.

Well, and the Tantive itself, of course.

Nope. I hope a large number of these people show up to vent their frustrations here, not that there exist more of them.

Or, that every person with this distasteful character trait gets disappointed at having wasted their money

Enough time has gone by that this is really nice to be available this way. I can't imagine that this long into it anyone would be seriously upset by it.

thanks for the clarification...I will have to try to make it to a store championship sometime...
