Force Friday next Friday. Speculations?

By droz69, in X-Wing

I actually wonder if they would drop a Rebel Veterans pack that day. Would definitely fit the theme for Rogue One. Would also fit the price point that would normally for afforded for a place like Target at 40 bucks. Xwing and Ywing. I could see it.

Your thoughts ?

Well there is still that mysterious code 58 waiting to be revealed. My guess is some sort of Rogue1 tie-in, maybe even a new core set. Having said that, Rebel Veterans would be great if it is done as well as Imp Vets.

Oh yes please. Rebel Vets, X-Wing (black and white colour scheme) and Y-Wing with fabled X-Wing fix. I already have too many X-wings but another 2 can't hurt.

(ps. please don't read this my darling wife.)

I could see a Partisan X-wing expansion for the Rebel faction getting announced.

I wonder if for some reason if Saw's partsans are a major plot point or spolier and that is why they havent announced anything about it yet.

Or a Rogue One tie in box with an Xwing and Ywing in it...kinda like Rebel veterans would/could be.

As for a Target box, Im not so sure anymore, oe would think we'd of seen something being announced or spoiled by now.

If it is something going to Target, and other big retailers then one would think it would have 2 Strikers or regular TIEs and then the Partisan paint job Xwing.

I'm pretty sure it'll be a new core set. There's just so many new players,FFG sells more core sets than you can shake a stick at. I'm really looking forward to it! Core sets are a great deal. I have 2 of each!

Rebel Aces (Partisan X-Wing + grey Y-Wing) or Rogue One Core Set (maybe with the Partisan X-Wing?). Anyway, I expect a Saw Guerrera PS 8 X-Wing pilot...

But my secret hope (and dream) is a campaign box (Rogue One or not, don't care).

I really wish people would stop suggesting a new core set. They are not going to be releasing core sets every year

The evidence against a new Core Set is that there wasn't a single Target that screwed up and put them on clearance a month before they were even supposed to be on the shelf.

I especially love the it's a new core set with a tie striker and some other ship other than XWing statements I've seen in the past.

Yes because that wouldn't be confusing to some people as to why this game is called XWing, but yet the core set has some new unrecognizable ship in it

I'm going to guess there isn't a new core set. However, I would not be at all surprised if the U-Wing and TIE Striker were released next Friday. Otherwise, why would they have announced it as part of Wave 9 10 so late? They also said we'd have those ships before the movie dropped.

I'm still guessing the missing SKU is a Scum Huge ship.

I think it is unlikely we'll see a core set. TFA set was just released 12 months ago and with it came the welcome addition of a new damage deck as the game had evolved since the original damge deck was released. That is, the TFA core was a vehicle for bringing new players to the game and introduce the new deck.

Considering that they are currently at the printer, I would be very surprised. They are part of Wave X and not Wave IX, btw.

Uwing and Striker will be released on December 16th the day Rogue One releases to theatres (maybe a day or two early), exactly like the T70 and TIE FO were released on the same day as Episode VII came out.

(I'm also betting the rest of Wave 10 will be delayed til early net year, just like last year too)

I predict they'll ignore imps and scum again.
