Not sure if two T-65's would be a waste. Depends on the added upgrade cards I think.
But one X and one Y would be nice too
It could be a 'Most Wanted' style expansion. Two Xs (one Partisan, one Blue Squad) and a Y...
Waste is maybe the wrong word but how many expansions now have had some kind of X-wing?
Well... Given the game is X-Wing: The Miniatures Game, I don't think there necessarily needs to be a limit.

There is a reasonableness limit, I doubt many/anyone would be okay with the next 10 expansions being some form of X-wings.
The X-wing's laser cannons had various settings:
- Single fire, where each cannon fired individually;
- Dual fire, where two cannons in opposite positions paired up and the pairs fired alternately;
- Quad fire, where all four cannons (one at each foil-tip) fired together, converging on the target; or
- Stutter fire, where many underpowered beams were fired in rapid succession (added during Yuuzhan Vong War ).
...okay, make that the next 21 expansions.
Edited by gabe69velasquezI'm ok with this.
Core set 3 with two partisan X wings and one Tie Defender from Rebels.

A core with 2 X wings and one Imp ship? I'm sold.
I doubt it will be a core set. Two 'core' sets is already pushing it; three gets ridiculous. Given the Striker and U-Wing are already coming as separate expansions; a 'Rogue One' expansion in the vein of the Vets/Aces/Most Wanted sets seems the most logical. And would allow FFG to address the perceived weaknesses in a number of Reb ships (T-65, Y, E) in one box.
I'd dearly love to see a Campaign set, that lets you play through the different battles we will see in the films. Included would be an X Wing (for sure) and some other ships (Strikers probably) and cards for a whole bunch of stuff. New X Wing only titles and mods to make them into competitive beasts again, some adjustments for the Y Wing so it's only saving grace is not as a turret-toting super dogfighter, a fix for E Wings that aren't Corran, but most importantly an official way to deviate from the 100/6 drudgery.
For a game called X-Wing the name-giving ship fares rather poorly.
There are indeed 3 sets where the T-65 is present and 2 with the T-70.
With the general view of the performance of both versions sales probably fare poorly too.
Time for a boost with an expansion with new material. 1X and 1Y or 2X or even just 1 X-Wing could do the trick.
Given we're on the count down to Rogue One, I can't help wonder if we'll see some news in the next week or so...

Probably TIE Striker in the next day.
Then I'd say, IF they have another product announcement it will either be another week from then, or more likely it will be on/after the movie release date. I wouldn't expect to see anything sooner than that.

Agreed. We should have the Striker article today (Monday). And IF the missing SKU is R1 related, they will announce it Friday the 16th or Monday the 19th. If we don't see it then, your guess is as good as any.
Good points people! We shall await the striker for today and let´s hope for the missing SKU appearing just before the premiere of Rogue One :-)
AND let it contain an X-Wing!

Makes sense. If '58 is linked to the film, it would make sense to release news the same week as its general release. (Not that I would think most of us would need any extra hype.)
Thinking about making more cards.
Do we have a list of names somewhere?

He is happy because his moustache won a prize.
So my point is, if it is a Rogue One tie in
then what are the odds we'll get theses
three
four.
I'm pretty convinced at this point that it will be a double X-Wing pack whether it's "Rogue Veterans" or whatever they call it. Paint job will be a blue X-Wing and a black partisan X-Wing. There really is no way FFG doesn't take full advantage of Rogue One movie release without some brand spanking new X-Wings.
The thing that strikes me is that if it is a Rogue One pack, they've been very good at keeping it under wraps.

My guess its they have some sought of "spoiler" contract with Disney and it will be announced in the next week or so
Indeed. There will be fairly stiff non-disclosure penalties.
The fact that it's not been shown off is surprising, though, because...well....why keep it a surprise?
The reason, presumably (hopefully!) is that it's something which is inherently going to be a big spoiler by showing it.
Like....I dunno.....if the climactic bits of this half of Rebels has Obi-Wan in it, for example, as a 'dramatic reveal'.
I'm not sure what 'big twist' there might be in rogue one. But I guess that's the point of big twists.
can anyone remember how many missing/unknown SKUs there have been for X-wing? I think the Force Awakens Core Set was 'missing' for a while until it was leaked on Reddit. (SWX36)
Were there others?
Honestly at this point I just think someone at FFG messed up the SKU list and instead of putting something there, FFG brass is just "no no, let it ride. It keeps people interested!"
I think they are just doing a better job than last year and didn't send it to Target.
