Where is the source info on store champ kits?

From the FFG OP Email asking for Pre-orders:

(I'll find the Public Web-post in a minute... URGH. People making me do their Research! How Tedious! )

What is This?:

• A Store Championship is an event that is available to all hobby retail stores and welcomes players of all levels to come have fun and compete!
• The kit will contain a variety of prizes for the Top 32, 8, 4 and 2 players, plus a plaque and Regional Bye card.
• BONUS: Each kit will come with two copies of the 2017 World Championship promo card to support a fun World Championship Celebration event in your store between May 3-7!

Here it is:

There is the Pre-order page for the store Championship kits (from back in November), where they state that 2 Worlds cards are included.

Because most of the OP kits require a 6 month Pre-order-to-delivery Period.

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

Neither can they.

Theirs vary in length too

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!

I really really wish they would just produce acrylic range and distance tools. I'd probably buy three sets and I imagine many would buy two.

Trophy is awesome.

The Armada world champ get an X-Wing mat!?? My dream of a 3x6 armada mat are crushed.

Just like they were crushed last worlds, when they did the same thing

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.

To be mostly honest...

... You have no idea how jealous I am that you are in a position for that to matter.

Really.

How am I supposed to switch over to Sloane when I have a sweet sheet of uncut Dodonnas to be using?

Pure, uncut Dodonna. Crit gold. This is the stuff dreams are made of, kid...

On that noteL

There is seemingly no Ebay records of the Rieekan Uncut sheets being sold in that format.

They are literally priceless, in that regards.

If I was given one, I'd do it.

Fund raise a Museum as part of the Sentry Box and wall up and display all of the FFG Alt Art Property I could get my hands on.

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.

The silver will match with the new turn counter dial in the 2Q kit.. hope I can get one.

Did anyone else notice that the dice appear to come in sets of five? If the picture is accurate, that's pretty awesome!

The description is vague enough to say "Full Set" and that's it. :

Top 32

Once the Swiss rounds have finished, the top 32 players will earn a set of never-before-seen dice with marbled silver. With a full set of these unique red, blue, and black dice in your battery, you will stand out as a skilled commander who has mastered the weapons at your disposal.

Historically, they have been good with the pictures accurately representing the correct numbers. And the X-wing shows 4 dice of each color and Imperial Assault just two of each, which is to be expected.

It's possible they screwed up the photo, of course.

Right as if FFG has been so accurate with their orange double sided range ruler?

Yeah, honestly I found little value in mine, and have considered selling it. Every time I do though I think I am only 1 in 4 people in the world with this. Plus I think it would be funny I show up at a tournament one day using the uncut Rieekan sheet as my Commander Card.

I would bring it to tournaments and tell every opponent my Admiral is Dodonna Dodonna Dodonna Dodonna Dodonna Dodonna Dodonna Dodonna Dodonna Dodonna Dodonna Dodonna Dodonna Dodonna Dodonna Dodonna Dodonna Dodonna. Every time he took a face up I would pick whatever I want out of his deck.

Still not as strong as Rieekan Rieekan Rieekan Rieekan Rieekan Rieekan Rieekan Rieekan Rieekan Rieekan Rieekan Rieekan Rieekan Rieekan Rieekan Rieekan Rieekan Rieekan who, after a ship or unique squadron is destroyed, keeps the unit on the field for the next 3 games.

I know I repeat myself, but nonetheless: Its abhorrent that Armada WCs are played on cobbled together xwing mats.

It looks even below unprofessional. For gods sake, allow third party quality maps.

Other than that, Id love to have this version of my favorite Admiral. Wonder if prices are about the same for European CSs, even if they are a category below.

Dodonna... And that playmat.... So jelly and sad for not being able to travel to another continent for Worlds...

I'd wager there's an old person in China who picks the unused card sheets en masse from a trashcan behind whatever factory FFG uses and recycles them for $0.12 per pound.

Those range rulers... *drool*

I'd love to have them all, but those range rulers take the cake for me. No question.
