Hoping: Something that would boost X-Wings, and maybe some new pilots for Y-Wings (I wouldn't object to a boost for E-Wings as well). I've mentioned a campaign box before.

Expecting: Something that made it far enough in development to get allocated a SKU, but not far enough to get announced before it was cancelled. It will just forever be a blank spot in the numbering.

Scum Aces. If not then why not? Would make sense with the Imp Vets and HOTR release. And while a Rogue 1 release would make some sense it also would not for release quatity. It would give the Rebels a total release count between HOTR and the new wave of 6 new ships while imps have 4 and scum are just getting the quadjumper. So a scum release makes the most sense.

So long story short i both hope and believe it will be some sort of scum aces pack.

You make a good point. Couldn't the Partisan X-wing be a scum ship. They could release something like the most wanted pack that has two x wings (or one x wing and an e-wing,...at least in my dreams). With scum pilots. It could still have some x-wing (e-wing) only titles that would still work for the rebel x/e-wings and give is the "x-wing fix".

A Scum X-wing would be really similar to the Kihraxz!

Only differences probably ag(g)romech instead of illicit and minor difference in the dial. Not sure if this is design-wise and expected-number-of-sales-wise a good idea.

Has this ever happened though? Just seems too sloppy to me for a giant company like FFG to say "Psych! We screwed up!"

Back before much was known about Rogue One, there was a Lego promotion that appeared to have a picture of a Firespray as a graphic representing Rogue One Lego sets. If Boba Fett has an appearance in the movie (perhaps one that explains why Vader specifically told him "no disintegrations"), we may be getting a HotR style scum pack with a Firespray and a small ship.

"No disintegrations" is a reference to Boba Fett killing Owen and Beru. Poor moisture farmers never had a chance.

What? Fett didn't kill Owen and Beru. That was Stormtroopers. I think you mean it was Vader's instructions in regards to finding the Millennium Falcon and its passengers in ESB.

It's an interesting theory... But how about we stick to what actually happens in the movies? As opposed to fan-based extrapolation.

You realize this entire thread is just fan-based extrapolation, right?

The Starfield Game Tile Kit got an article but was never released, i don' know though if it got a SKU.

It did get a SKU, it was SWX20.

On topic, Hope: An FFG confession that they accidentally skipped SKU 58 and got us all excited for nothing. (Yep I'm evil)

Expectation: A Rogue One tie-in that has potential spoilers so it can't be shown yet.

Hope - Phoenix squadron A-Wings set

Really - I suspect it to be something with a non-epic ship that is new to scum (which would keep the waves balanced, as they just got them balanced with Wave IX and then promptly unbalanced them again). So Scum Epic with scum Partisan X-Wing? New Core Set with Scum Partisan X-Wing, or Rebel Partisan X-Wing vs Scum Something else? Although it would be odd to make a new scum ship as part of a pack, but not also have it in single blisters. Maybe just Scum Partisan X-Wing? I'm also not sure whether "partisan" will fit Scum, I guess we'll find out in 2 weeks time.

Hope is a Rebel Veterans box that comes with a Y-Wing, X-Wing, new Y-wing and X-Wing pilots and a fix for the X-Wing

What I think it is is a Rogue One X-Wing expansion, also including the fabled X-Wing fix

I hope it's a Partisan Rebels aces pack with a repainted X-Wing and Y-Wing, with some neat stuff for the generics for both.

What I hope it is: Rebel Veterans with named X-Wing Pilots from Rogue One.

What I think it is:

God help me that's a catchy tune...

THE NEW GUY... Welcome.

Fun topic!

What I hope it is:

A Corsec Green T-65 X-Wing with pilot cards for Corran Horn, Tycho Celchu, and all other original ´Legend´ Rogue Squadron Pilots. Also includes Whistler the Astromecht and Wedge´s astromech (Gate if I recall correctly)

Also added are Vectored Thrusters, Integrated Astromech, and Rogue Squadron Pilot title

What I think it is:

An X-wing in Partisan Colours in a Rogue One / Rebel Veterans / Early Rebels expansion pack, possibly joined by an extra Y-wing miniature

All with new pilots and stuff to improve the game for two long serving fan-favorites.

So maybe it is not going exactly what I hope for, I know I´ll probably like it a lot!

NICE!

I hope it's a Partisan Rebels aces pack with a repainted X-Wing and Y-Wing, with some neat stuff for the generics for both.

Y-wings definitely feature in Rogue One so let's keep our fingers crossed.

What I hope for: The Gunboat

What I think it will be: Blue Sqd. X-Wing

Hope: Scum huge ship

Expect: Either a mistake that will live on forever as the SKU that got skipped, or something to tie into Rogue One they don't want to or can't spoil yet. Maybe there's a super secret shocker in the movie they want to capitalize on, but have to wait until we've seen the movie before they can reveal?

It either is, or it isn't.

My hope is for something to help out T-65 X-wings, I want to be able to fly Wedge without feeling like I'm throwing points away **** it. I'd be surprised if it ends up as another cancelled product, but that's always possible I guess.

If it is rogue 1 do we think it is x-wings & ties or x-wing & strikers?

My money would be on Strikers.

Though I'm not convinced it's R1 content. It's not like they've kept the U wing or TIE striker a secret (like they did with the T-70 and TIE/FO). It could potentially be another failed product launch that we'll never see. Anyone remember the Star Field Tiles? If it is R1 themed, it might be a playmat. If it's background was a spoiler for the movie, it would make sense that it wasn't revealed yet.

It's not going to be a playmat, it's the wrong product code.

Reality : Schroeder's SKU.

It both exists and it does not.

Wasn't that guy's name Schroedinger?

HOPE: A Most Wanted-style box with an Y-Wing and two X-Wings, one Partisan, one Blue Squadron. Includes a bunch of pilots from Rebels, Rogue One and the new canon books. Dials to make the Shadow Caster a rebel ship, hijacked Lambda shuttles, and a slew of neat upgrades for almost every rebel ship in the game.

LIKELY: A Scarif-themed mat.

I'd say one page till somebody guesses it again...
