Pretty happy they're going to include the errata'd Royal Guards, kind of expected it but nice to see it happen.
Spring Kits Announced (incl fixed RG cards)
But... The RG cards are double-sided? How is that useful?

How is it not ? One side elite, one side regular. Great. One less card to carry around and easy enough to get duplicates of these new cards.

I don't follow on how that wouldn't be useful?
Yeah, this is a pleasant unexpected surprise! Shows that FFG is trying to make right after the errata.
Very nice!
Great artwork for the RG and those rebel sheets look interesting.
Does anyone know how many sheets are in the pack for the top 4 players each? They speak of a set so it should be more then one.
Doublesided deployment card are unsuably in campaign without sleeves/some background. I understand they halve the price by making it double sided, but it also only makes the cards usefull for half of the game
No it does not make them useless for campaign.
Just have the original one in your hand or in reserve zone and when they are in play exchange them the alt art.
It is a little bit annoying but one can do that.
Or change to opaque sleeves.
My opinion? this is ****.
They remove the usual alternate cards with the errata'd cards (this material should be additional and free for all, or accesible to all, not only to people who play skirmish).
This is not going to be free as they promised, FLGS have to pay for the kit, and we have to pay to play the tournament and get the cards, they remove content from usual kits to place errata'd cards.
They also remove 20 acrylic and very useful tokens by 4 pieces of cardboard??? really? is the price of kit to decrease? because 19 cards, cardboard and a coin don't costs so much. We have focus and stun tokens, what about bleed and weakness?
You could use opaque sleeves.
You could put them into sleeves with the original cards as card backs.
I think, the "Rebel-themed damage tracker sheets" are brilliant. I love them.
@ Hijodecain:
Would you whine about this if they put the Alt Art RG before the errata in a kit? NO.
And this has not to be free for all. Why should it?
And where exactly did they promise they would give the reprints as free material? They said they will be in the Kits and here they are.

^ this guy gets it
This also means Players in mainland Europe will not get English versions of the errata cards, which I find pretty annoying to be honest. No store here is ordering kits from the UK because it costs about double and German kits only contain German errata cards. Considering how behind translated versions are (TS is STILL not released in non-english languages!) many players just buy the English stuff.
Bummer.
Yep, that's a bit annoying. I have three copies of Nationals Han Solo, but I'll never use all three and they're pretty much worthless for trade since they're all Polish.
the rebel sheets do not look good... will have to wait to see them in person. the RG alt art looks great.... really wish the would have but blled tokens or weaken tokens in the kit though....
Looks like a cool kit. I personally would have preferred more tokens/doors/whatever, but these are neat enough.
I asked FFG OP on twitter how many sheets per player for each of the Top 4 were in the Kit, there answer
I believe four
This is also for the Spring tournament kits. Didn't they say before that they have single errata'd cards in the Winter kits with the updated Royal Guard information just on the one side?
No,
The Winter kits were already released before the errata came.

I agree they are very nice, I feel like I have seen a fan made version of this somewhere already though. Maybe FFG liked what they saw.
LOVE that the RG cards are double sided.
Not digging the damage tracker cards...
Also, did anyone see the gorgeous acrylic dial in the LCG? It would be tight if we got an acrylic Turn/Threat counter in a future kit.
Ffg did say they were looking into alternative ways of distributing the errata'd cards.
I'm glad the double sided cards are in the pack, I do expect them to turn up elsewhere.
Personally, I'm not thrilled that the RG reprint cards are double-sided. None of the other cards are that way, so it's a bit odd (and annoying for my OCD self) to have these ones that way.

Funny. Just yesterday we were discussing the same thing. I won the acrylic DS they made for Nationals last year. It was much more like the regular cardboard version. Been toying with doing a proper Yavin version but now I'm just hoping to get my grubby hands on this new one.
