are they out yet because according to FFG's site they are not? how did folks get them early? or is just the pre-order at YOUR LGS sold out??

I would like to get some for the huge ships. Keeping those dials seperate from the scores of other dials around would help in Epic games.

I was not planning on getting any, but you have made a good point. I might now have to pick up a pack of each for this purpose.

The cost of the extra cardboard would be pennies per pack. They could have just stuck three of everything in there.

punch is not as cheap as you imagine, more like $1 per 4x6 sheet I would guess in full color print. 36 dials would be like $6 in punch or so. I'd rather not have dial upgrades cost $20 a pop instead of $15 for 3.

But you're right, I wasn't considering poor little FFGs profit margins.

Ah yes, that charity that Asmodee runs, where they just keep giving us toys, with no concern as to whether they are a profitable business decision. We can rely on them to keep producing stuff for us at cost so they can just keep feeling good about letting us play games.

If the game and its products don't turn a profit, this game will go the way of almost every other collectable Star Wars game.

If I didn't switch lists so often, I would consider it. At the moment, though, I am flying too many different ships.
