As it is, Starviper/Kfighter for Scum or Xwing/Ywing for Rebels are top likely picks for an aces pack. Starviper/Kfighter because they really could use it and the Scyk is already getting love, Xwing/Ywing because of the scene in Rogue One where they were utter badasses. Scum Aces or Heroes of Scariff incoming!

I'd say Scum is more likely, as Rebels have essentially had two "extra" boxes (Aces and HotR), while Scum has had none.

Both Episode VII and Rogue One ships weren't originally announced with the rest of the ships in their wave, because they weren't allowed to talk about them until they were past embargo dates set by Disney. And, hey, what do you know? There's another new movie this year! With an expected release of the teaser trailer at Celebration...

Don't forget they had to release on the same week that the movie was released. So the rest of the wave will still be delayed.

One one hand I don't understand why movie tie-ins are even considered part of a wave and not given their own wave. hey are not announced with the wave (for reasons you have mentioned) and they never release with the wave they are put in (for reasons I have already mentioned).

On the other hand I do understand why they are put in a wave, it matches the business model which is new ships come in waves, and repainted ships (or new ships not designed to be in standard) are to be in special releases. The only thing different is core sets which are designed to introduce changes to the core rules (such as a new damage deck).

Still IMHO movie ships should be their own wave. Sure that would make this wave 12 waiting on wave 13 instead of wave 10 waiting on 11, but TFA and R1 were for almost the entire introductory cycle separate from Waves 8 and 10.

They don't have a panel scheduled, so I doubt it. I'll be there to find out tho.

But they seem to be in the announcement they say Friday at 6PM.

I think the announcement will be Imperial Assault's App, and next wave.

Also hope to have them confirm a 2nd huge ship for scum and super star destroyers for Armada. But I can dream.

It'll be the Gunboat. It deserves an announcement all to itself.

And it will be made of solid gold and come with it's own pedestal. :)

Well one has no say anymore and the other is a fictional character, so I doubt it'll do much. :P

Scum had Most Wanted.

Rogue One themed Rebels box would be my pick. And it seems appropriate given the timing of the event and the DVD/Blu-Ray release.

Though I wouldn't *mind* a Scum Aces box (I'm new to scum and don't have much), I'm a Rebels guy primarily, so I'm biased :P

But that was merely to catch it up to the two existing factions. It wasn't a "fix" box.
