I love multi character packs like hera and chopper! So much cheaper compared to single packs and less skus cluttering up the line. Also I don’t need missions for every character in the game.

Agreed.

Although, rather than 2 figure packs focused on named characters, maybe we should have some 2-3 figure packs based on generic troopers like with the rebel trooper and Rebel sabeutur packs.

Maybe a 2 pack containing scout troopers and a 3 pack containing Imperial naval troopers (death star troopers).

I would have eben bought a "Rebels Crew Pack" including all 6 figures. I don't really care. I buy one of everything anyways ...

There should be more Trooper packs. I usually buy two of each Trooper pack (Sabs, Echoes, ...) or even three, when they are combined with a character (Terro).

Baze Malbus and Chirrut Imwe would be fun. Chirrut would be another force user, but one who could also shoot ranged, and I'm not sure what Baze would be able to do... his big blaster was BA in R1.

For the sake of continuing the plea. A Zuckuss / 4-LOM pack would be great.

What about some multi-faction characters while we're at it?

Saw Gerrera - rebel / scum

K2SO - rebel / imperial

and of course Dr Aphra - imperial / scum

When someone says Dr. Aphra, I immediately think of Michael Scott form The Office when he finds out Toby is back in the Annex.

Just give us a whole big box expansions with porgs, sirens, and caretakers. No heroes, though.

I would like to see some more of the 2/3 character packs (more likely troopers than not). Actual Scout Troopers (vs E-Web engineers) is high on the list of what I would like to see. Death Star/Naval troopers would be cool as well.

Ewoks - 3 figure blister

4-LOM & Zuckass

Zeb & Sabine

Ezra & Kanan

Hondo, Asmorigan & Ketsu Onyo

Kallus & Thrawn

Saw Gerrera & Rex

Naval Troopers

Scout Troopers

Shore Troopers

Death Troopers

FSD, yes I agree I would also like to see Shore Troopers and Death Troopers for IA, as well as 4-LOM and Zuckass (who always seem to be the afterthought when it comes to the bounty hunters shown in ESB).

The droids wave was announced in January of last year. Personally, it's among my favorite waves (in addition to 7 and 10) given how out of the box it seemed. It's exciting to think that there's a possibility that we could be getting a new figure wave announced soon (hopefully).

Agreed about the multiple character packs, too. They're efficient, both financially and in game. At this point, both sides have so many options for uniques that most will rarely see play. By packaging multiple related characters all into one mission, they become far easier to earn.

I'd say that Rogue One and Rebels lend themselves pretty well to this.

Baze/Chirrut

Cassian/K-2SO

Jyn/Saw

Kanan/Ezra

Sabine/Zeb

Other ideas include

Embo/Cad Bane

4-LOM/Zuckuss

Aphra/ Krrsantan

Nora Wexley/ Mr. Bones

Inferno Squad

But yeah, I just like the idea in general of multiple characters per pack. It's a **** shame Han and Chewie can't be earned via the same mission- if not just simply for the reason that it would mean we would presumably have at least one mission in which they both natively show up.

A couple of ideas for other multi-character packs:

Crix Madine and rebel strike team.
This could be a 3 or 4 character pack. Madine could fill that void the rebels have for a commander with "Executive Order" (I know we have Leia, but it's not the same). Crix could have something like Trooper Assault that gives him synergy with the strike team. For the strike team, I'm envisioning 1 trooper, 1 saboteur and/or 1 ranger. I'm not sure how it would work though.

Kyle Katarn (mercenary) and Kyle Katarn (Jedi).
I would absolutely buy a 2 sculpt pack of Kyle. You could add Jan Ors into this also/instead. She not much of a fighter though, and her role has already been done in Hera.

Dash Rendar and Leebo (as a companion).
I know this isn't a true 2 character pack, but I want me some Dash action.

Tyber Zann and Urai Fen.
From "Empire at War: Forces of Corruption".

Galen Marek (Starkiller) and Juno Eclipse.
You could have both Imperial and Rebel versions of both characters.

As much as I loved Kyle Katarn, I think he's been deleted from Star Wars canon. Probably Dash Rendar as well. Not sure if Galen Marek is still considered a canon character, but he isn't anywhere in Rebels.

He's not currently considered canon. He likely never will be, sadly.

There was one point when Pablo Hidalgo had apparently considered adding him, but they went for the Inquisitors instead- probably to avoid giving Vader any sort of meaningful attachment to anyone and risking undermining Luke's story.

Kyle is in the X-Wing Miniatures game, Dash is in X-Wing and Armada. I don't think it's a stretch to see either of them in IA.

You're just talking about Starkiller, it's a little confusing based on the full post you quoted. I do agree with you though, it is sad that we will probably never see him. Given the conflict of his story versus "Rebels" show and "Rogue One" it's not surprising.

Whoops, forgot to take out the other parts of the quoted post. Edited for clarity, thanks!

The X-wing items were in production or released before Disney announced the total wipe of the EU in April of 2014.

Wave 3 (Kyle) was released in Sept of 2013.

Wave 5 was announced in June of 2014 (Dash was previewed in August) and released in Nov 2014 so it's very likely they were already past the point of no return to put the kibosh on his release since FFG had already put some considerable time into R&D.

Granted, Armada's second wave was announced in April of 2015 (a year since the Disney wipe) so that one might be the only glimmer of hope in regards to us ever seeing those characters in IA (but I'm not holding my breath).

Mara Jade is in X-Wing as well, I still doubt we'll ever see her either. Kir Kanos is also in X Wing. As FSD said, there has been considerable changes since Disney wiped the EU. However, even if I saw Kyle Katarn show up in Destiny, I still wouldn't think we'd see him in IA.

IA is a little more rooted in storytelling than X-Wing and Armada. Not to say that it's impossible (after all, at one point we had at least three characters who could not have made canon-friendly appearances) but it seems unlikely that they'd muddy the waters by merging the two canons together in this game. Gives me a headache thinking about it, really.

So far, it kinda seems like a better idea would be canon-friendly stand-ins. The obvious example here is the RGC as Carnor Jax. Heck, it's possible the Smuggler could be a Rendar or Katarn stand-in, too.

My thoughts exactly! I think a double pack with Zuckass and 4-LOM would be cool that included fixes for Dengar and Boba (and possible a Bossk buff).

That's an awesome idea to get EU characters like Katarn, Rendar and Mara Jade in the game while side-stepping the canon issue.

Maybe a "Rebel Operatives" pack with Kyle and Jan styled figures. They could be a mix of the Sabs and Alliance Smugs with both Smuggler and Spy traits. Rendar could be inspiration for an "Outer Rim Mercenary" pack. Would be cool to see him as another Hunter that could dip into Smuggler and synergize with Rebels via Temp Alliance. Mara Jade would be an "Imperial Spies/Assassins" pack and help out Blaise in the Spy trait. It would be so sweet to put out Mara Jade with Palp and have him use Emperor to command her.

You can still put 2 to 3 figures in each pack, but have the necessary amount of models look like those characters. It's definitely a long shot with the Rebels and Rogue One material left to use still, but it's totally plausible. That's a blister pack wave right there with all three factions after all! Do it, FFG!

I'd really love to see a Rogue One Box. The accompanying blister wave could include K-2SO (Rebel unique) / Imperial security droid (Empire elite / regular), Chirrut & Baze double pack, Jyn & Cassian double pack, Director Krennic as the empire bad guy and Saw as a Rebel "Merc" ("Paranoid: You may not include other unique deployment cards in your army." / "Many Shady Contacts: You may include any number of non-upgrade Merc deployment cards in your army")
