Dial upgrade kits are shipping now.....

By Wayne Argabright, in X-Wing

In case folks missed it like I did..

I don't think that many of us care to be honest.

£3 a piece is a bit steep and I cba to pull dials apart.

That cost is actually for a set of 3, which many would be plenty for Palp Aces, Dash Corran, etc lists. 2 sets would be able to cover most lists and anyone running full swarms would need 3 sets. Overall, I personally believe they are worth it and will be purchasing them when they show up in stores.

I'd much more be likely to purchase if they were not specific to a faction.

I would guess the point of that is to turn your rebel y wing and z wing dials in to scum dials and visa versa with ease.

Yay?

Thanks for the update, I plan to get a couple.

That's unfortunate they come in packs of three :P

True. But you are aware that its perfectly legal to use any dials with any faction. Just saying, cause i didnt know until recently.

You say I will only need 3-4 dial covers but my OCD tells me I will want to replace all my dials. It may be better to not start down the road at all...

I just want one Interceptor dial...

I'm a Rebel player generally and so I plan to get these for all my Rebel dials in the first instance. At that point I fully expect my OCD to kick in and demand that I get them for all of my Empire and Scum ships too but that can be done further down the line at some point.

Please just don't tell my missus how much they cost :P

I doubt I'll get into them but I want them soooooooooooooooo much.

The reason's I don't want them maybe because I cannot easily switch which dial is in the holder. The actual dial doesn't appear to be that hard but the id token doesn't look like it pops out once it is inset. If FFG has came out with Id numbers instead of Ship Id which would allow me to get 10 dials and use them for any ship I have then that would have been awesome. Also if I cannot swap the Id then they actually take up more room than the dials do now.

The reason's I want them is they protect the dial and are kind of cool.

As far as I'm concerned, they'll make great "extra prizes" for tournaments that stores will be able to use, so that's good. Not too expensive, can be used with any ship (of a specific faction), etc. It can be fun.

I like them for various reasons. Not gonna go crazy and buy one for each ship right away. Will get a single pack though to try them out.

Exactly. I really have no need for these. Me? I am WAY more interested in the new colored bases........

However, when they finally get around to creating their own acrylic tokens/templets, I will be the first in line......

Ehhh I kinda sorta care and will get about a half dozen of them Just so I can easily locate my huge ships.

These have had a shipping update,

Still waiting on my purple flight stands to leave...anywhere.

I just put them on my Amazon wish list and will wait for friends and family to buy them as cheap birthday/Christmas ideas.

I want to get a few sets and paint them. Also intend to get a few sets to use as prize support for tourneys.

Much more excited about the colored stands than about these dial holders.

What is a good use for the colored stands? I was thinking different pilot skill levels but I can use the Id for that.

Hmz, it looks like the dial kits are not due here for another few weeks.

I've gone for purple as I have custom purple maneuver templates. Having all your stuff match would be cool.

Good question. For my part, I just really, really, really like the color orange and would be thrilled to have orange stands.

Other than that, I'm considering picking up red and blue so that I can have different colors for each faction when I play with just my own collection, but I'm not as concerned with that at the moment.
