I think I've seen the new packaging and details leaked on this forum already; I can't wait!!

Still overpriced...

They can't release a new core with each movie, well they can but it'll anger the player base.

Why? It's not like they are mandatory. Put cool models and upgrades in and leave it to individual players if they want them or not. As long as they don't do things like force people to use a particular set of damage cards, I don't see the harm.

Given there are pilots in the core you can't get elsewhere as well as upgrades you can't say it's not a mandatory purchase.

Can rebels get along without Biggs? He's only in the core.

The only t-70 pilot used is in a core.

Personally I don't need a forth set of templates or more dice etc so it harms me to buy a product just to throw most of it away.

Ello Asty is in the T-70 Expansion, mate!

They can ask, but employees at target will not know the difference. Not everyone shops at game stores, and target usually carries the core sets, so Billy walking through the game section will scratch h his head.

At least the second core set was to jumpstart a new trilogy. Would start to look real dumb if every movie had to have a new core set. Han solo core set, boba Fett core set, Yoda core set, guy with blue hair core set, etc etc.

I really wish people would stop expecting one. It's not going to happen for awhile. If and when it does it'll probably be in a few years when the game needs a much needed boost

What would even be the point of another starter this soon after we got the last one?

Selling more stuff? A starter with 2 Tie Strikers and a T-65 X-wing .. And then they could even fix the T-65 so it is actually useable and not just the most iconic and loved (perhaps apart from the Falcon, obviously). And then they could sell the single ship Striker with more pilots as stand alone after that.

That would be really, really dirty trick - give a T-65 X-wing fix in a new starter set... To fix your X you have to buy another big box. I can't even imagine how bad it would be...

If you think you won't have to spend at least $40 for the T-65 fix, I have no words for you.

I'm more aggrieved at autothrusters only being in the Star Viper. I will never, ever play scum. At least I get to field the Raider and it's a cool model.

You're missing a third of the fun then mate! I'm pretty sure they will release another ship with autothrusters when starvipers got their fix...

No, two thirds. I won't play rebel scum or real scum.

It not that bad, you are missing just half the fun. Rebel Scum ain't fun. ;-)

You mean like pairing the TIE Advanced fix with the Raider?

Spot on.. An epic ship that costs more than twice as much as a Starter which includes 3 ships for less than 3 single expansions.. (that said: it comes with an extra Advanced and i like my Raider)..

Can't really see the formula of 1 X-Wing vs 2 TIEs for the assumed new Core, when Strikers only have marginally less HP than naked X, but their cost seems to be one of the lowest for 3 reds ships.
