If you are unaware - It is available for General sale - just without the "World Champion" brand in the top corner.

Yeah, I was gonna say "One of a kind playmat huh? Looks exactly like the Hoth playmat currently available."

Its exactly the same as the DS2 mat they did - They pick a General Mat, add the World Champion Brand and... Boom. One of a Kind

Don't be negative!

There will be 2 copies of Dodonna in the Store Champs Kits!

They're not even technically tournament prizes -t hey can be participation or give away awards!

THERE IS HOPE!

Corners are cool.... but are we already to the point where we need to be re-doing prizes that obscure?

Silver

But I am fine with my red/green ones. Silver is nice, but its far far far from necessary. They get used for 2 minutes at the beginning of the game. Would rather have had pretty much any other acrylic piece. Or at least include the turn token as well like before. Just seems like a downgrade from what I have currently.

I know a lot of people who use them to mark squadron and ship locations if they need to pick them up to flat-place a maneuver tool, for example.

And. Y'know.


SHINY.

Ok fine Dras, you have wore me down. My excitement over everything else is large enough that my initial disappointment over potentially getting a redundant acrylic is minimized.

heh I'm with Broba.. Will be fun to oversell the coolness of the shiny silver corner-markers to all my unimpressed friends, if I'm fortunate enough to win them! Overall the prizes look fine.

Wait... You're right! I forgot about that part.

I honestly like the swag, but I'm not dying to have it all or anything. I think my comment was on the lack of me traveling to Worlds. I get beat up enough at the regional levels to think about spending money to get trounced by even more elite players.

Ok I need that dodanna but can't make it someone trade me 1!!!

Where is the source info on store champ kits?

they should really sell those range and distance tools... 3rd party suppliers just can't provide accurate stuff.
