Does anywhere sell acrylic ship tokens? I find that it is the only bit of cardboard that has not yet been replaced by third-party products, yet it is also an essential part of the game as one cannot field a ship without it(as compared to the many extra command tokens after buying so many exp packs). This thought came to me after seeing a friend's isd cardboard damaged from wear and tear and improper storage. While I do try to preserve mine, cardboard is not a very durable mat imo and so I'm wondering if there is any way to solve this issue? Thanks for the help.

If you are concerned about the status of your cardboard products, contact FFG support. They may be able to help you out. Especially if you made sure to keep your proof of purchase pieces.

Do they offer replacements for wear and tear over time? I thought is only for defective pieces.

Anyhow, i don't stay in the U.S. FFG support says they can't/won't send outside of U.S.

Hmm. Aside from that, pretty much the only thing you can do is print out copies. When you say damaged, how badly damaged is it?

Any scans available? Oh but would they be tournament legal like third-party rulers though?

Gashes and bruises from the plastic bases as they were dumped together in storage

My own pieces have frayed edges and inside where the stand places over the centre.

Unless these are preventing you from properly setting up or measuring to/from your models, I don't think this is a big a deal as you are making it out to be. Cardboard getting dents and dings is fine, within reason. That said, if you're seeing bent pieces, or the printed graphics are getting damage in key places, or the carboard doesn't fit right with the ship etc. then I'd expect your only recourse is to contact customer support.

I've had the corners 'fluff' a little on me, but I find putting some superglue on them and giving it a squeeze helps lock that down.

I really wish FFG would sell a basic set of acrylic tokens and measuring tools.

I did paint my edges with paint markers and that has helped to glue them too. Works a charm.

What I'm looking for though is something that endures better. It's part of the reason we buy acrylics to replace our rulers and tokens.

Give them 2 or 3 light coats of a clear spray on varnish. The Rust-Oleum satin clear enamel is fully dry in about an hour, and should maintain the look of the original cardboard while providing greater durability.

As always with spray on varnish, sever light coats is better than one thick one. A thick coat can cause a cloudy finish, making it hard to read.
