Upcoming Regional kits... pretty lack luster.

What was it you expected? Looks pretty standard for an FFG kit to me...

A set of templates would have been nice...

Pretty upset the aren't doing maneuver templates this year

White dice are sick.

And we don't know the alternate art card yet.

Am I the only one that's over the whole Challenge Coin thing? Don't get me wrong they are very cool, but I like the "I can actually use these" prizes over things that just sit there in your box.

Are they expecting people to walk up to an opponent at regionals, throw their SC challenge coin down and go "WHERE'S YOURS SCRUB?" Lol

Acrylic Cluster Mines? Seriously? Conner nets or go home!

White dice are sick.

And we're not just talking about a typical winter cough, either. White dice are so sick they should be in the hospital.

And it was

"as if thousands of voices suddenly turned to meh's"

Its a bit risky but you can flip the challenge coin for initiative.

Can anyone make out what the card is? And is the 'Champion Item' just the trophy?

No matter the event, I'm only ever in it for the alt art cards, so this is all fine for me.

It would be nice if they had a participation prize in the kit.

Where is this photo from?
Maybe there is a photo for Imperial Assault prize kits too?

I think, from the blurryness, mild colour I can make out, that it's alt art Hera pilot. But, for which ship I can't tell.

If it is, my eyes are better than I thought. Tweeted a guy who posted a pic from the event. See if he could see it better.

I believe that's what the 64 cards are for.

That's not going to come close to covering most Regionals this year.

Maybe in your area ;)

Most regionals last year had around that many players. We were capped out at that many last year and are expecting a lot more this year. I'd be surprised if it was sufficient for most regionals this year (they should probably have to start including 128 cards instead).

I think we were around 20 players last regional. The lucky TO got to bring home a whole deck of Bobas. :P

My local Regional is making space for 120 players and expecting to easily fill all of those spaces, although admittedly there's not another one for some distance. (By UK standards, at least... ;) )

Agreed, only 64 Alt Art cards shows just how out of of touch Organized Play is with X-Wing.

As far as I'm aware, almost every US Regional last year exceeded 60 players (many nearing 100). With attendance at Gencon and Worlds growing drastically and Store Champs swelling all year, I'm sure there won't be a US Regional under 100 players this year.

So now you have almost 40% of the field that won't be getting a a single thing for a full day of X-Wing, a $10 entrance fee, and probably a hell of a lot of driving. Could OP really not spare another 35 cards for each kit? Given the rigorous application and screening process, could they not add cards to those kits in regions they expect to have greater attendance (e.g. US and UK regions, at the minimum)?

Pretty ridiculous.

Agreed. We had 116 last year, I'm expecting ~130 this year...

Guess we'll be requesting an extra set of cards =)
