Missing SKU

By drail14me, in X-Wing

We still have that lingering SKU.

My first hope was a Heroes Of Scarif pack with an X and Y buff.

Then speculation turned to a TLJ Resistance A-Wing.

Now that that has passed, what are we thinking?

guess I’m picking a Scum Falcon in the Solo paint scheme. I mean, it’s perfect, we need another Falcon!

Still holding hope for a Scarif pack.

I continue to believe we are looking at the next Epic ship, most likely Scum.

Some sort of aces pack is not out of the question, though I feel the timing fits an Epic ship better.

Very much doubt it's the tie-in for the Solo movie, but it's not impossible.

Holding out hope for scum corvette. Also hoping that they're just giving us some time to let our wallets heal.

The last time we had a mystery SKU hanging around for a while, it turned out to be a huge ship.

First order dial upgrades.

Same as the imperial ones but bigger.

I disagree. I think the solo movie would be a better time for a scum epic ship. If there is going to be some cool scum corvette I’d think it would be then.

I thought the last one ended up being G4H

Well, considering it hasn't been announced yet, FFG's historical speed at getting products to stores (barring direct movie tie-ins), and that the Solo movie is suppose to come out in the summer, the timing might work out.

The current mystery SKU is 71. Guns for Hire was 73 and has already been released (months ago). So something big is probably cooking.

Fair play. I can’t argue with that logic.

As much as I want it to be Scarif too you are probably right with the scum corvette ship!

I do hope we get a Scarif pack down the line. Get some cards for Xs, Ys, and Us would be nice.

Prediction is either scum epic or an ace pack of some sort. It may not be tied to the Solo movie, although that would explain the long lead time to getting it announced.

I think the resistance Awing will turn up in a future wave of ships.

Still hoping for a campaign box around the timespan R1-ANH, maybe even spanning to later like ESB, RotJ as well. X-buff, U-buff, updated Striker, Punisher buff, more variety for Y, Z95, classic Ties variants, Krennic and other useful crew for Empire. Maybe Partisans and some pirates for Scum.

However, unfortunately it is really unlikely to happen :(

That would be amazing, but I have zero faith it’ll ever happen. It’s just cheaper and easier for them on their limited r&d budget and staffing to focus on new ships.

It's "Starwing the Miniature game" a new Core Set with overhauled rules.

How about Dr. Aphra in the Ark Angel with Triple Zero and BT1 crew cards.

Reason for the delay? Because they wanted people to hate something else before dropping the next Jumpmaster-style OP large base Scum & Imperial ship on the populous.

Dr. Aphra will be both Imperial and Scum (ala Nym)
Black Krrsantan would be Imperial
Beebox and IG90 will be Scum
No generics

Triple Zero and BT1 will be imperial crew cards. Triple Zero will be the fix people wanted for the Firespray, maybe something like: "At the start of the combat phase, you may acquire one evade token for each enemy ship in your firing arc at range 1 - 2, to a maximum of two". It will be 1 point as well, because. . . power creep. I can't think of anything for BT1 right now. Suggestions?

Black Krrsantan, Beebox and IG90 will all be Scum/Imperial only crew cards
Dr. Aphra herself will annoyingly be the only one that ISN'T a crew card.

Ig90 would be 3 points and allow you to choose a friendly ship in your list within range 1 - 3 and mimic it's ability for a stress token. So if you had RAC and Vader for example, you could receive a stress via IG90 to perform two actions that round, or Inquisitor and have your attack count as range 1 this round for a stress token.

Beebox, no clue
Krrsantan, no idea either.

That's my prediction.

Reason for said prediction: I like the comics and Triple Zero/BT1 recently arrived in Imperial Assault. Plus Imperials just got the Gunboat and could do with another large base ship.

Thoughts?

Kessel Run playmat?

Playmats are a different product line. It might be coming but it wouldn't be the missing SKU.

My guess is a Huge scum ship. Since every Huge ship thus far has also come with a small base ship, what ship do you think would accompany this one?

If I get my wish, we'll see a Gauntlet with a new Protectorate fighter.

But since the Protectorate is not in need of any updates, I find this unlikely.

I'm going with the Dornean Gunship. It's the only original trilogy ship that fits in the x-wing scale, that hasn't been made, and FFG loves making obscure ships no one wants. <_<

What if it's a new starter, with two Vulture Droid Fighters and a V wing?

At this point, I'm assuming it was a planned product that got cancelled (like the Starfield Tiles).

Good point, I'd forgotten that. I'll hope then for the Gauntlet with Scum and Imp ship cards, Nightbrother title, Imp Gar Saxon crew that has an ability more in line with Scum faction, and maybe a two-crew slot 'Mandalorian Raiding Party' that gives some kind of R1 bonus.

CR90 would like a word.
