Cool wave 11 stuff... but I want some new x- and y-wings!

Yes, we can still hope for Rebel Veterans (X- and Y-wing version).

I am, for sure.

I'm pretty sure that HoTR filled the Rebel Vets product slot at least for the time being. I'd expect to see at least Aces type pack released for Scum before getting another Rebel one.

Typical rerelease boxes like that arent part of a wave. Its entirely possible in the next 1-3 months we'll see either Rebel Vets or Scum Aces pop up, and since Scum are getting an epic i'd bet the Rebel Vets are next.

If we're looking for patterns here FFG released two Rebel Epic ships and then Rebel Aces. Two Imperial Epic Ships and then Imperial Vets. We're probably due for a pair of Scum Epics and then a Scum Aces pack.

Rebels literally just got an Aces pack. They aren't due to get another one any time soon.

They may not be due for one, but I am sure they will capitalize on Rogue One. A U-Wing and Tie Striker just aren't enough. I am really hoping for an announcement this year

This topic won't be "A New Hope" that's for sure.

The Rebellion is built on hope, so yes.

While I agree that some x/y-wing love would be great, I don't want another x-wing model! Can they release it with some other stuff? A b/a-wing set (again) would be perfect for my collection!

I would prefer an E overhaul over the Y, but alternatively, I think an EXY pack would be super, super exciting.

Maybe just release everything again! I love having alternate paint versions of models in general while not having enough time to actually custom paint anything myself. And pilot options!

FFG declared that HotR was the "Rebel Veterans" pack.

As Imperial Veterans was.

Now is the time for scum.

again though just being "due" for something to occur doesn't ensure it'll actually happen

In all reality Rebels are more due for Rebel Veterans because of heavy X-Wing and Y-Wing action in Rogue One, that FFG has not yet capitalized on. People want to play stuff from the movies, not ships that have never been in the movies, regardless if Scum "is due" for it.

FFG has a window to make successful Rogue One products and that window is closing. There is no window for a successful Scum Aces product.

Aren't people tired enough to stop saying those things? People who wanna fly their movie heroes litterally doesn't care about the competition. They will play Y-Wing and X-Wing anyway.

That quotes is totally worthless. There's a lot of people who loves flying new stuffs, and ships that DOESN'T appear into the movies! Is the joy of the "what else?" thought, discovering new stories, new stuffs, new background.

Thanks to X-Wing, I discovered the Black Sun, for example. And I love it.

That's... absolutely untrue. I'd jump at the chance to fly X-Wings in tournament, but, i kinda actually wanna win the prizes, so i never do. Ignoring the fact that the X-Wing was the very first ship released for the game, and it's namesake, the fact that i can't fly it if i want to win is not doing the game itself very much service.

While I understand where you are coming from and agree that it would be nice for the X-Wing to see more tournament play (aside from Biggs), I have to disagree that all people cannot be consoled or find enjoyment in different ships. The ship I really wanted from wave 11 was the Kom'rk Fighter, which has never been seen in the movies. But it's Mandalorian and would likely contain Maul, so it works out. And, to be honest, I would rather that or fixes for ships that haven't even been touched yet (like the E-Wing) before they take another crack at the T-65.

I'm with Cerve. SOME people want to fly movie ships. Others of us are way more excited by expanded universe stuff (as evidenced by the longest thread on the forum being about the assault gunboat, which is most definitely not a movie ship).

Like all the other "aces" expansions for X-Wing, Heroes of the Resistance revisits one or more of the ships already in the game—two, in this case—and updates them with new miniatures, ship cards, and upgrades.

Pretty sure alex davy claled it an aces pack in an interview as wel

I am, for sure.

For X and Y-wings I would like a Battle of Yavin pack. Re-up all the Wave 1 stuff to modern and include a nice Trench runs scenario (that scum could be a part of too).

For Rebel Veterans I think the E-wing is in need of help, but more classic X-wings won't hurt if we are not going to get more rebel Z-95s.

However I would like to See a Scum Aces pack before any of that. Sure it is nice they have a Huge ship with alternate paint Scyk and the fix for it. Finally Scum has a ship with more than 6 pilots available. But they are still behind the other two.

Um... I dunno about you guys but the X-Wing's still amazing. Wedge and Wes do phenomenal, put VI on Wes to strip a token and then have wedge reduce their agility is wonderful, it melts aces and other ships.

I also hope there is an X/Y aces pack coming in the near future. I love X-wings and play them regularly but not in tournaments because they start you in a huge hole. I know scum have not received any aces packs other than Most Wanted(really the scum starter) but all of the scum ships are more recent releases so I don't feel they really need them. Yeah the Star Viper and Kihraxz need some help but they are still better than X-wings in my opinion.

Rouge One Blue-Ray drops in April (I Think) maybe FFG already has a "Rebels Veterans" pack tied into Rouge One ready to go they're just waiting for something like the DVD release and hence renewed interest in Rouge One before they drop another Rouge One related product.

Yes, absolutely. I am confident that HotR was released specifically to tie into the film, and we can expect both Rebel Vets and Scum Aces, at some point.

Unguided LWF Scimitars are a slap to T65s so FFG better get on with it.
