So what do you think will be SWX67 through SWX72? My bet is another core set with two types of ships, those same two ships individually packaged, and then three other Wave XII ships, one for each faction.

Gunboat!!!!

Actually I'm expecting a Battle of Scarif mat with the shield gate printed on it at some point...

1.) Punisher fix. (I want more mods, guidance +lightweight +long range scanners would be prrrrrrfect)

2.)Green dice buff as a generic upgrade that comes with a ship thats not optimal for it ( some kind of intensity style re roll)

3.)A piece of ordnance designed specifically to be optimal against large base ships

4.) Another EPT that's allows EPT carriers to passively buff ONLY low PS generics for new swarm tactics/viability

In 6 pieces. Released at 1 year intervals. Some assembly and lots of patience required.

Mats aren't SWX though.

Personally, the obvious things are a Scarif/Rogue One themed set, another Scum epic, Rebel Vets, and some additions to Wave 11, just because 3 small based ships seems a little thin at the moment.

I fully expect ships from The Last Jedi to come out before Guns For Hire.

So,

- Resistance A-Wing
- First Order Interceptor
- Resistance Bomber?

More Scum Super toys, fixes, upgrades.

And maybe one or two mediocre ships for Rebels and Imperials.

Would be too obvious otherwise.

So what we know to come.

• Movie Tie in ships for Episode VIII TLJ. On historic the last two movie tie-in include 1 Rebel ship expansion and 1 Imperial ship expansion. And will be announced to be part of the next coming wave although it will be released sooner in conjunction with the movie.
• Wave 12 which will have at least three ship expansions, One Rebel, One Imperial, and One Scum.

So with those two facts that really leaves only one SKU in question. So here are some likely speculation on that SKU.

1. It is another ship from Episode 8. We might get another Scum ship with the tech slot or we could just end up with another Resistance or 1st Order ship.
2. Wave 12 is a four ship + movie launch. Either way just like 1. That would put Wave 12 as a 6 ship wave. Logic still dictates that there will be 2 Rebel, 2 Imperial, and 1 Scum with the unknown another scum.
3. It's another Special Release Expansion (i.e. Heroes of the Resistance, Gozanti). Like how the C-Roc SKU was hushed under close wraps. This could be another release separate from Wave 12 (including TLJ releases). Probability says it is the Scum corvette sized ships to match the Rebel CR-90 and Imperial Raider. Or it could be a 1st Order special expansion. Since a scum alternate paint scheme expansion was just announced another one is unlikely unless it included the huge ship.

So there you go. At a minimum we can expect

• One Resistance Ship Expansion
• One 1st Order Ship Expansion
• One Wave 12 ship expansion for the Rebel Primary faction
• One Wave 12 ship expansion for the Imperial Primary faction
• One Wave 12 ship for the Scum Primary Faction

As for the last SKU, well your guess is as good as mine, and that is all that it is , a guess.

Still would love to see a campaign set (what was my guess for SWX58, which turned out to be the C-Roc), be it Scarif or Endor or whatever. Scarif would capitalise on the newest film.

Another Epic is also still an option.

I don't. Guns For Hire will be late October early November as Heroes of the Resistance was, I'd guess.

• Kylo's TIE Advanceptor;
• Resistance Bomber? Or (hopefully not) Resistance A-Wing;
• N-1 Starfighter?
• Assault Gunboat;
• ? (wishing for another Scum Epic)

Well again, all guesses. 1 & 2 could be TLJ releases, 3 & 4 could be Wave 12. and then the last the missing SKU, but that is a wild guess on everything.

Wave XII is in there. So there's three. Probably won't get new mats till May. So, the real mystery is the 3 others.

Dont forget the movie, Episode 8 is going to have at least 2 ships.

This. How they passed up on such a pretty mat escapes me, especially after the (IMHO) Hoth dud...

I am going to bet ANYONE on this forum that the N-1 is going to be released NLT next May. FACT!!!! (IYKWIMASOYD)

I'm with you on your whole list, but I'm wondering where you imagine they will pull the N1 from?
... you think they'll visit Naboo somewhere in the middle of episode VIII?!
... truth be told, a third A-wing would be a bit silly, but if we see a color other than red in the movie...
... Scum epic will likely come from the fourth season of Rebels, unless Benicio Del Toro is not aligned and has a cool ship.

Woo-oah, got some interesting results when I googled my own comment:

http://makingstarwars.net/2017/04/the-mystery-of-benicio-del-toros-ship-in-star-wars-the-last-jedi-and-more/

Reminds me of this dining area...

For the missing SKUs I could see a Wave X repeat, wherein we get 3 announced ships plus two late additions from The Last Jedi.

... plus a Scum Corvette (please).

I think that Scum players have got all the love they/we needed for while. I don't expect anything else from FFG this year for us scum players. My needs and desires have been fulfilled completely!

There will be some nerfs coming though, the usual suspects, TLT, Mindlink and Jumpmaster. Now I have been pleased to take some bad news also, like another big nerf.

Next stuff to come out probably will be new map, something wicked stuff like Gunboat for Empire and something for Rebels. I have no idea what, but I think next priority is Empire players for sure.

Just a reminder that Playmats are a different SKU, so it wont be playmats.

But, having said that, the dials and other accessories DO fall under the same SKU. And with such a big gap, I'm expecting at least part of the numbers to be just accessories and not new expansion releases.

Gotta keep your expectations low folks!

That sounds realistic and I bet this one will be worse than the community design as well.

I was sooo sure this would be the 1st answer :-)

Yeah, I'm betting it's not going to be ships. Or at least, no more than one of them is.

It's going to be one of those things like colored ship bases.
