Horton, OGP, illicit tokens

Shame they didn’t sneak a cheeky EPT on Horton.

Shame they put zero effort into this game anymore. The dude who made HotAc is better at this then they are.

Seen a lot of hate for the OGP, personally I like it. If palp aces ever comes back, it'll be nice to have official alt arts for all 3 ships. Same with Horton to, now you can get all rebel aces (tycho, tien numb, Horton) in alt art as well.

The illicit acrylic tokens gives me hope we'll get an FAQ for jabba soon. I mean, why else would you need that many illicit tokens?

really glad they've gone back to double pilot card alt arts, would love to have more of those type kits. (At least one a year). I know some people were looking for alt art palp, I hope we'll get him in Q1.

Beats an alt art Swarm Tactics card, that's for sure!

I happy to see generics pilots alt art again !

Horton ? Well look like FFG love to bring back wave 1 pilots...

I actually love the Horton card. I fly him quite a bit so I'd love to wrangle that alt art card.

Would like the Horton card more if the y wing was painted with gray accents instead of gold.

To be fair, which Ywing was Horton flying? There were gold markings in the battle.

So they release tokens that basically do nothing. The FAQ will never come. Poor Jabba, but no one would play him anyway even if he worked. I'm going to have to ask Wade why he chose illicit tokens. Horton is cool though.

Really nice set! My Palpmobile will look great with the alt arts!

I like it. Horton seem like a small giant next to the Y-wing cockpit though?

Want that Horton!

Nah, he's standing closer to the front...with a really long arm!

I’ve never flown Horton. I’m going to have to if I get the card the tokens will be useless to me, unfortunately.

Unfortunately, Nym came out and is so much better - I had Wedge, Airen Cracken and Horton as a PS10 alpha strike team. Poor Horton got benched. Now I'm hoping for a nerf removing Nym's EPT as a minimum (and changing bomblet generator for preference) so I can justify using Horton again.

After a great kit (Crackshot, Omega Leader, Focus Tokens) again a disappointment. NO Upgrade Card? WTH? Illict tokens? As if somebody ever uses Jabba.

How about doing finally some official Shield Tokens again (for people who are not lucky to place high at a System Open or play this game since years). Or a new thing... an OFFICIAL set of

obstacle markers? That would be nuts.

But the missing of a new upgrade alternative art is bothering me the most! I really like them.

What is so bad about the kit?
Or did they really left out the participation prices in this kit?

Horton/Nym alpha list

I think the kit is pretty good. Horton is a favorite of many casual players. Omicron is pretty good too. Players will all receive a pilot card which is cool. Jabba tokens can always be used for things like Glitterstim or Extra Munitions and doesn’t have to be used for Jabba.

Not enough points for a 3rd ship with high PS. And Miranda or Dash or Rey or... are better partners for Nym in a 2-ship list. I'll still be flying Horton again, just not in a serious list.

Huge missed opportunity to not include an errata'd Palpatine. For some reason they instead decided to give us an alt art of his vehicle? Even weirder because the participation prize has always been an upgrade card. This is the first time they're doing a pilot card participation prize for a store kit.

Actually the participation prize was always a pilot card and was changed recently to an upgrade instead. So they are going back to what they originally did for years.

I wish they'd bring back the medals.

Another series of excellent prize swag decisions by FFG OP!

A unique pilot that didn't even see play five years ago when he premiered in Wave 1,
A generic that was incredibly popular a year and half ago before Palpatine was nerfed,
And tokens that go with a niche card that still hasn't been ruled on with necessary FAQ answers.

Sometimes, looking at the X-Wing prize support, I think that FFGOP likes to just troll the X-Wing community. I mean, the prize support for Armada is generally so much better, including the quality of the art used for the alt-arts, so I'm not sure why the X-Wing prizes are always so perplexing.
