The Summer 2016 kit is due by the end of August and meant for use through the end of 2016 (are we not getting a Winter 2016 kit?)

It comes with:

  • 17 copies of alternate art Predator cards
  • 8 sets of acrylic stress tokens
  • 2 copies of alternate art Corran Horn cards
  • 1 metal challenge coin featuring a TIE Fighter

My thoughts: It's kinda funny that the alt art Predator depicts a Rebel Y-Wing when no Rebel Y-Wings can take Predator without taking the unique EPT astromech.

Corran Horn, uh, at least looks better than Dash Rendar's alt art did.

LoL at another challenge coin. We're gonna be swimming in these things before long.

Challenge coins are legit, much prefer them to the medals.

Looks great and I like the coins too, but I hope the other side of that coin is scum! I want even more S&V alternate art and prizes in future kits.

Corran looks amazing.

Corran card looks good; it's just a shame he's flying an E-wing.

We get it, buddy. You want the medals back. Will somebody get on the after-market coin-to-medal conversion kit? (A ribbon and a piece of double-sided foam tape.) I guarantee X Wing Nut would be receptive to your sales pitch.

I have two kit medals myself. Definetly my most proud prizes, but I'll admit the actual hanging portion is really cheap. The pin has come off one of the ribbons already,

Dat Corran though. So pretty.

Conspiracy Theory:

Haven't seen the art on that poster. Could this be our first glimpse of a new product to boost our T65s? Maybe when Imp Vets hits the shelf we'll get a new X wing Aces with that art?

No? Oh, well.

They do tend to reuse art from the cards...hrmmmmmmm.

Still, purely speculative.
