Wanted: Blue Squadron - Rebel Veterans Pack

By lntrn8, in X-Wing

I would not mind a Partisan X-Wing. I like the paint design on the ships.

Do it FFG!

Blue Squadron 3 pack:

1 - Blue Leader X-Wing

2 - Blue Veteran Y-Wing

3 - Blue Squadron U-Wing, with troop door opening to expose gunners

Anybody with me?

So the U-wing has just been release and that's not good enough for you,

you already want another blue U-wing in a veterans pack?

That's very nonsensical, and I find your lack of reasoning disturbing.

As it's been said the Y-wings were Yellow for Gold Squadron.

Since Rogue One is so full of X-wings we are sure to get a Rogue One expansion,

but it won't have another blue U-wing.

.... Friend : I didn't spell it out so I will now .. #3 U-Wing was a Variant I suggested.... A variant.where troop doors open to expose lateral gunners. No. It's not good for me that the u-wing was just released. I am a collector and custom ship builder so I love all variants and reinterpretations on things; sooner or later, doesn't matter.

B X: WHO THE HELL ARE YOU!?

T70: Im you....FROM THE FUTURE

U: is it me, or is the future guy even less experienced than us? Hell, is his ship EVEN LESS EFFICIENT

T70: dont remind me

Fixed it for ya ;)

Do it FFG!

I feel you, but considering we don't see the U-wing again in Episodes 4, 5, 6, or 7, it's a safe bet FFG won't make another expansion with it. I really really wish Disney had been more forthcoming about what was in Rogue One so that FFG had gotten the chance to make a side gunner Ion Cannon upgrade. But maybe Disney did, maybe FFG considered it, and rejected it - the arcs on the thing being odd, a 90° auxiliary arc on each side?

As I have said several times in various places, my bet is we'll see an expansion with a Blue X-wing and a Gray Y-wing. Maybe SWX58 got pulled because it would have started a useless one ship Partisan sub-faction (stand alone movie), and the Partisan X-wing is being replaced with a Blue X-wing.

How long before the 4K bluray release of the OT with he U-wing digitally inserted into the fleet scenes?

Battlefront paint sheme! :)

That was George Lucas, who doesn't own Star Wars anymore, remember he sold it for $4 Billion.

I would buy that.

there are so many a, x and y wing pilots that could be added to a Rebels/Rogue 1 cross over set.... I would love to see that

Red & Gold squadron lived on in the movies until Force Awakens.

Noooooo! Not only is gold squadron utterly destroyed at the Battle of Yavin, but Red squadron survives with only two members - Luke and Wedge. In Legends they were reformed into Rogue Squadron under Wedge, and who knows under the new cannon. But gold squadron is dead, no doubt about it.

I could see a rebel heroes of the Rebellion pack along the theme of most wanted - An X- and Y-wing with additional cards for more conversions and/or new pilots.

Just ticky tacking ... ROTJ .... Lando is Gold Leader.

Also in the Battle of Yavin, there is one lone Y-Wing that survives. My guess that it was not a part of Red Squadron .... Was it a Gold Squadron survivor?

Apparently, In Legends lore, that's Keyan Farlander.

In cannon according to the Aftermath Books it is Nora Wexley who was in the that Y wing. Who we have as a Arc-170 pilot already.

No, Norra pilots the Y-wing that goes inside the second Death Star, and IIRC it's her first mission as a fighter pilot.

I'm all about a rogue one vets box. Or just rebel vets in general. Y-wing and X-wing. Generics with EPT. X-wing fix and new droids. Reprint Horton with an EPT. Life is good.

Indeed. Evaan Verlaine from the post-ANH comic Princess Leia was present at Yavin (Galactic Atlas) and was Gold Three (Rogue One Visual Guide). Making it pretty clear she's intended to be the Y-wing survivor.

I was ambivalent about getting a fifth T-65 mini until I took a closer look at some of my X-wings. Those wave 1 sculpts are terrible! Bad plastic or molding or something. Ugly and misshapen with really poor definition.

Y-wings are just a hair nicer. I just hope they include standard Gold Squadron cardboard if the set includes Y-wings. I can run four Thugs but only 2 Goldies and that bugs me for some reason.

Well, if they can do a resculpt for the Falcon and Poe's T-70, a resculpt for a y-wing and an x-wing is possible. Not likely, but possible.

Yeah looking at some of the original models from early waves of X-Wings and Y-Wings. Could really use an update with how much better the new ones have been.

Well, if they can do a resculpt for the Falcon and Poe's T-70, a resculpt for a y-wing and an x-wing is possible. Not likely, but possible.

It would be criminal if they released the pack and didn't re sculpt them.

Anybody with me?

I'd love to see a Rebels Vet pack with a new X-Wing and Y-Wing, but you throw a U-Wing in there and the price goes up by $25-30 bucks. That means it's a $50+ expansion and I'd much rather see a $30 with just the X and Y.

It would be criminal if they released the pack and didn't re sculpt them.

Poe's T-70 and the TFA falcon are the first resculpt that FFG has done. All the other packs were just a recolor.

It would be criminal if they released the pack and didn't re sculpt them.

Plus, it would be a good way to make these new sculpts availiable without invalidating the old - they are ONLY in the Scarif Veterans/Battle of Scarriff pack.

New Y-wings with the actual turrets on top would be nice.

I touched up some of the yellow and added damage paint chips.

A Group shot. I feel like I can take on the whole Empire myself with these little guys!

New Y-wings with the actual turrets on top would be nice.

Dude yes! And special "ion Torpedoes" cards that can disable capital ships (in this case the Raider & Gozanti) for up to 2 turns!

Do it FFG!

Blue Squadron 3 pack:

1 - Blue Leader X-Wing

2 - Blue Veteran Y-Wing

3 - Blue Squadron U-Wing, with troop door opening to expose gunners

So the U-wing has just been release and that's not good enough for you,

you already want another blue U-wing in a veterans pack?

Could U=wing Ion Cannons be Battlefront DLC? I'm sure that is possible.

I'm all for an X+Y pack, IMO it's too early for an U-wing, even though the movie provides us an alternative paint scheme.

X-would obviously be Blue Squadron, Y-wing... we need more pilots, there are two Golds left from ANH, and at least one new in Rogue. Norra in the novels, Chopper, Rex and everyone's favourite Sabine in Rebels.

Considering we already have a Gold Squadron paint scheme on the standard Y, the repainted one could be Grey Squadron.

Sabine's Y-Wing in Wave 11. Confirmed.
