Wave 12 tie-ins

By evanger, in X-Wing

If our pattern holds true, we should see a website announcement today (Sept 7) or tomorrow (Sept 8) concerning the 2 or 3 The Last Jedi ships which will be added to Wave 12.

We're likely to see

SWX67 Resistance A-wing

SWX68 TIE Silencer

and, likely

SWX71 (something Scum from TLJ)

We are ~100 days out from movie release. Wave 8 add-ins were announced 99 days before The Force Awakens, on a Thursday. Wave 10 add-ins were announced 104 days before Rogue One, on a Friday.

Scum offering from TLJ: Quadjumpah mark II

The pattern among SKU is usually Reb, Imp, Scum.

In Wave 8 the add-ins had SKU numbers earlier than the rest of the wave.

In Wave 10 the add-ins had higher SKU numbers.

We've never had an intra-wave gap in SKU numbers before (as we currently do with Wave 12, as SWX69, 70, and 72 have been announced).

"I hope that when the data's analyzed, a weakness can be found."

SWX71 is the strangest one we've ever seen...must be Scum.

Maybe the Scum thing (71) is something from Canto Bight (but probably not the open-air police thing).

I really really hope it's a new kind of starter set or a campaign box. Would make sense to re-use the new Interceptor and new A-wing like this, and the swx71 is so alone in the order that it is puzzling

SWX67 Resistance Bomber

SWX68 TIE Silencer

SWX71 hopefully Campaign Box or Rebel Veterans - but I would be glad with a Scum Rogue-class Starfighter (with Cad Bane and his Xanadu Blood).

Resistance A-Wing is as boring as First Order TIE Bomber and would only be interesting if they added upgrades (titles?) that worked (and really helped) with their older versions.

FO Bomber with System, turret, crew and title.

Also I second that Xanadu Blood.

Turret: only if the ship has it in the movie (I doubt it). Crew: I suppose it's maned by 1 pilot only. System: do you mean Tech? Title: yes, please (something that really makes it and the old Bomber shine with bombs).

System and tech. Maybe two of each.

that is one slot that nobody has a doubleslot for yet...
A double system could be pretty powerful.

I like a campaign box and/or Rebel Veterans, but I simply can't see it occurring at number 71, mid-wave 12.

To keep the Reb, Imp, Scum pattern, the following might be more likely:

67: one-off campaign box, not Wave 12

68: Rebel (unknown), Wave 12

69: Imp (known), Wave 12

70: Scum (known), Wave 12

71: ???, Wave 12 (my guess is Scum)

72: Rebel (known), Wave 12

73: Scum (known), Aces, not Wave 12

I still think that SWX71 is going to be a pack with the Ghost and Ghost II. But it is a dissapointing perspective

The toys (and Lego sets) I've seen include four ships likely to arrive sometime:

Resistance A-wing

TIE Silencer

Resistance Transport Pod

Resistance Bomber

And at least two unlikely to arrive at all:

Resistance Ski Speeder

Canto Bight Police Speeder

Have heard rumors of a luxury (Scum?) ship owned by Benicio del Toro's character.

Why the wait to announce it?

Maybe a spoiler for Rebels season 4?

i'd be rather surprised if they rerelease the ghost already
Ghost isnt that old of a ship for this game.

71 is definitely the StarSpeeder 3000.

0ATK, 0AGI, upgrade bar full of nothing but Crew slots.

And one astromech slot.

71 is probably a "Scum Only" dice set.

Blood Reds: 2 crits, 4 hits, 1 Focus, 1 Blank

Olive Greens: 5 Evades, 2 Focus, 1 Blank

:P

Turret is possible? There a weird disc looking protrusion on the top of the left pod in the promo shots that could easily be a turret......

Like this?

A friend of mine theorized it it's gonna be a mat, which kinda makes sense. There's bound to be an epic spot in The Last Jedi to put on a Mat.
