...but.

As well as the missing fore/aft blue line on the base token...

• The epic flight stands don't fit snugly into the bases, and keep popping out.
• Both the C-ROC and the Scyk have the Target Lock action, but there's no Target Lock tokens in the box.
• Five copies of Arc Caster, only two Weapons Disabled tokens.
• The positioning of the Heavy Laser Turret on the model itself is... pretty bad actually, it's forward arc is obscured by the sensor dish right in front of it.

I'm literally picking nits here as it's a great model and some of these complaints were noted before the ship was released, but hey. Feedback is feedback.

These oversights are amateurish. Come on FFG!

That said... I'm still probably going to pick one up, and a copy of the Scyk.

I'm not sure if they designed it. I believe that's all Lucas Arts.

This was a huge problem on ours, but this is the first I've seen somebody else mention it. My son figured out the problem. It is difficult to explain, but the stands had a small piece that was supposed to snap into the base but the piece was too big and was actually preventing the stand from connecting to the base securely. We contacted FFG and the sent new stands. We don't have problems now.

I'm having the same problem. Was this something that could possibly be sanded down or trimmed? I'm at work and can't look at it right now.

We tried but it did it work very well for us.

I had to shave the stand pegs down to get them to fit into the sockets on the ship, too. Bit of a pain, but a little caution and a little knife-work did the trick.

And, yes; loving the C-ROC.

Hehe, you're missing Target Lock tokens? ;-D

Did they run out of double-digit letters?

That's not what "digit" means....

Eh but it's close enough, no?

we should enjoy that while we can before Target locks start having phone numbers for identification

Been so busy that mine has yet to leave it's box but man, it's a gorgeous looking ship!

Not only has it been apparently packed horribly, it has obvious design fault and last FFG hasn't been commenting on these things at all, makes me feel like I will be paying ton of money for bad service. I'm still waiting to get my hands on my C-ROC that is waiting me at home, but I am already disappointed bit because it is very nice looking miniature and has very important cards for me and all Scum players.

All though, I won't let this bother me too much! Like I said, miniature is excellent looking!

I've seen 2 C-ROCs bought from the same store just days apart (thus conceivably close in production timing) - one had this issue, the other didn't.

The injection mold that the bases/stands are formed in probably has one dud in the array.

I thought you were going to say providing 5 ACs was the mistake in itself, something like:

"Who would even field 1 Arc Caster? So you basically get twice as many WD tokens than you need for Quinn Jast!"

I love the new syck pilots. There are good times to be had. Love the CROC model. Used it as my obstacle in a casual game; doing so definitely changes the game dynamic.

This really bothers me too, first thing I noticed when I was handling it before putting the pegs on. It was a "really...?" *sigh* moment for me lol

You can 'unplug' the sat dish if it bugs you too much.

(it will still have 2 others!)

Opposite problem on mine: the pegs sit hard like hell, difficult to get the ship on and off the pegs. If you have it permanently on display it would not matter, but I do not have the space atm. Might need to sand down the pegs a little bit..

The firing arc of the gun placement is stupid, but can easily be modded.

AND FFG, why there are 6 'light' scyk titles in the box but only 1 'heavy'??? You missed this one opportunity to replace outdated cards. This makes me sad. You could have easily put another scyk fighter in the box for THAT price tag - but you don't even give us the ****ing +5 cards you know we wanted ... are we getting greedy a little bit? Do we?

I think that's perfectly fine. I'm slightly miffed about there only being one container token in there instead. One "Heavy Scyk" title is enough to show "this is how it's supposed to work, the others were FAQ'd to be just like it".

Oh well ... happy you then.

Yeah, wouldn't want them wasting all that precious cardboard.

And I finally got a chance to unpack my Croc and took Inaldra out for spin and loved it.

I have been flying Fenn, Asaij and Laetin for a while and had a reasonable amount of success but switching to a cheaper pilot (with a more consistently useful ability) allowed me to add Outmaneuver and Pulse to the list and the Scyk went from being a mosquito to a vampire and it was a delight.

The new list is 4:0, looking forward to giving it more table-time.

[haven't actually checked the C-Roc for stand issues, hoping I got one of the good ones]
