If a new "Heroes..." set arrives, it should be for the Empire. Maybe a Striker/Punisher pack, giving bombs to the Striker and fixing the Punisher into something that could... punish?
The Missing SKUs....
2 hours ago, Phoenix5454 said:It's a long shot but I was hoping the missing sku would be a Heroes of Scariff expansion that has a Blue Squadron X-Wing , Alternate paint gold squadron Y-Wing (maybe a partisan X-Wing) and goodies like a T-65 X wing title, a K2SO crew and u wing pilot card, a u wing upgrade that allows a side firing arc (door gunner) etc
Last "upgrade" xpac was Heroes of the resistance. Then there will be gun for hire. This one will be for a Tie phantom/Punisher (or Decimator+X) upgrade. Would make sense since the 2nd movie is alsways about the dark side comming back... :-)
A new core set would be a questionable choice, as we already have core sets that serve as entry points for original and sequel trilogy. I hope that's not the third SKU, but it's possible. Seems like a lot of competition with themselves, though.
I could see a heroes/veterans/aces pack that splits between factions, maybe? Never been done, but nothing says it can't be. Resistance bomber with upgrades that can also help the Punisher, TIE bomber, etc, maybe, and something else from the First Order. I've heard rumors of an FO bomber, so maybe...
granted, all the mystery may dissolve next Friday, but it's fun to speculate for now.
My hope supports the Heroes of Scariff, with some awesome new support for X-wing and U-wing.

Honestly I'd like to see a Heroes of Scariff & Citadel pack. Already discussed the Rebel pack but I would love to see a Citadel pack that has The Delta class shuttle and TIE reaper with Director Krennic and Death Trooper Crew Cards as well as more goodies for the TIE Striker like a bomb / crew slot addition and more pilots. It's weird it doesn't have a bomb and crew slot as they show it in the Rogue One Visual Book with a bomber mech and a secondary crew...

The reason the Striker doesn't have bombs is because it was designed and released before the movie came out and Disney didn't share those minutia with FFG. They probably got a few still shots of it and maybe a short video of it flying.

How about a Battle of Scariff campaign pack, with new stuff for the Striker, TIE fighter, U-wing (cough K2SO), X-wing, and Y-wing (that also accidentally helps the punisher). I'm not talking a multi-model pack, but a campaign pack with new pilots, upgrades, etc

With a campaign pack you could have a partisan Xwing for Scum, and the TIE Reaper in the box....with upgrades (pilots, mods, epts, etc) for the rebel X,Y,U wings, Imp TIE Fighter and Striker, and the new X wing if ypu really want to throw everything mentioned into one box....prob would be $75...
A campaign box, of some sort, would be PERFECT!!!!

Why the heck does everyone think the Partisan (another word for rebel) X-wing should belong to the criminal element? They already have the Vaksai.

I think it boils down to the fact that Saw and his Partisans were on far from friendly terms with the Rebel Alliance. Or maybe they just want to add the all mighty, super-powerful and game-breaking X-wing fighter to the otherwise lack-luster and weak Scum selection.

Rebellions are built on hope
On 2015 we have Force Friday with a new core set and two expansions (tie/fo and t-70), we can expect that again this year.

I'm in the (minority) camp that scum don't need an x-wing, and I'd rather have the Partisans as another sub-faction of the rebels to give us more T-65 pilots.
As for the campaign box, I'd rather not have the Reaper in the box, either as I feel it should be its own expansion.
What i would like to see in the box (if they have to put a model in there) is a triple-faction Zeta class Cargo Shuttle. It would need to be a large base, but its canon length is less than the Ghost so it should fit. They could even go as far as giving it a single Epic cargo or team upgrade slot if they wanted to, but then we would need energy as well so that's probably a step too far.
personally, I think that when they make a campaign set they need to keep the price point somewhere around the core set price so they don't price people out of it.
Partisan Xwing for scum, man **** that noise.
If you wanna play rebels, play rebels. Otherwise just accept your faction is a joke for kids to live out their powerfantasies. Not only you want the most powerful ships, but you want the most iconic ones? Would you like a Vader Scum pilot as well?
This makes me mad.

Scum Vader in a Jumpmaster! It is a new thing ...

yesterday's news
the new breaking news is the Scum Raider that comes with Scum Vader's X-wing and TIE Fighter, the Scum Raider being the first Epic to have an EPT (3 of them per ship card) and the Barrel Roll action and the Scum X-wing having a scum only upgrade that gives it a Jumpmasters movement dial.
did that trigger basically everyone
in all seriousness, my first choice for the missing product code is a campaign pack, but I'd quite happily take a double card scum-epic as a second choice, and a Heroes/Defenders of Scariff aces pack as a third/forth

Don't for get Scum Zeb and PS9 Scum Sabine ....
Humm... Quite interesting, i've been revising the waves and this is the first time the released ships do not have a usual order. I'm pretty sure that SWX67 and 68 are Tie Silencer and Resistance A Wing, respectively, i have some theories for the SWX71:
THEORY 1: Epic ship (That rebel ship we saw in the trĂ¡iler of the new film, maybe?)
THEORY 2: Another core set with an x wing T65 and a scum ship(s) (two Z95?)
THEORY 3: An "Essentials" pack with the same of the core set but without the ships, as in Runewars.
THEORY 4 (The most probable to me): A new pack with the Ghost and the Phantom II. (Take in account that Phantom II is SWX72)

Because "I'll try spinning! That's a pretty good trick!" would sound AMAZING in Darth Vader's voice.
We should know next Friday!!!

I'd rather the partisan Xwing stay rebel (Saw's troops still considered themselves such, even if he was on bad terms with a few of the more political minded rebel leaders)
Instead I'd make it a 0pt 'Partisan Refit' title giving the xwing an illicit slot, to reflect that Saw's forces were unconventional and prone to dirty tricks.
