What do I spy?

A New Hope.

Rapid Reload: just the card we needed the most.

I mean, nice artwork, like the dials, but when was the last time anyone took Rapid Reload?!

Hammerhead might want it. And you can take it on the Pelta. It is fancy art though too...

Also, before anyone asks those are turn counters, not maneuver dials. Turn counters with color change for the squadrons phase.

And a case can be made for Ackbar MC30 torp. And Sensor team GSD-2 Pretty niche though.

Kinda feels like they determined the art for the regular card was too lame, and needed replacing rather than a super useful card.

But I suppose Demo/MC30's are popular.

I'm just going to keep telling myself this is what it actually says.

Nice kit. But it is so far in the future ;).

Insidious and VSD1

Very cool for the dials. Been waiting for something like this but since it is only 2 per kit, yeah i will never see these.

A-wing cards are nice.

Q1 trolled the Raider by featuring it on a turbolaser upgrade card.

Q2 trolls the ISD by featuring it on a missile upgrade.

The dials are what SHOULD have come in the core box. For a company that can't get enough of dials, I've never understood why FFG gave us individual tokens to count turns. I NEED one of those dials.

Me too. I am using one from the LCG and I have thought about buying an acrylic one I found on etsy. Now I just need to get good and wait for our bi-annual local tournament.

I'm honestly surprised that the picture I took of the Q2 kit at my FLGS (see the first post) seems to be the first photo evidence of the Q2 2017 kit even existing. I was surprised when it showed up, so I popped it open just to see what was inside. The alt-art A-Wings are nice and the turn dials are an improvement over the cardboard discs (although I prefer Recreator Studio's turn counter, myself). The Rapid Reloads are definitely a disappointment, though. It's at the moment not a very rare or in-demand upgrade so it's just going to become binder fodder.

Has everyone received the Q1 kits?

Can't speak for everyone, but someone has received theirs.

Q2 kits already in ebay!

Our FLGS has the Q2 kit.

Lol... The AA A-wing has the bomber symbol with the counter keyword.

Boy that'd be a cool unique squadron. You can counter the squad that attacked or if within range 1, bomb a ship.
