New sneaky article that doesnt appear on the mobile site for some reason.

Because we all want TIE Phantoms right? The Expanded Hangar bay art looks amazing though!
And look! You can there's a live example of a GR-75 as the flagship! New flotilla nerf coming maybe?
I'm kidding, im sure it's an old photo from Wave 5.
I'm curious if this is for the much-delayed Q1 kit or the upcoming Q2 kit...
@jamie nasmyth I wish to be informed if Giga is receiving this at once!
(or, anytime you find out would be cool too...lol)

I haven't been following, but i assumed the kit with the clear acrylic squadron tokens and alt art Y-wing was Q1.

Those were the Q4 2017 kit, actually. The Q1 kit was delayed until sometime this month, so I'm guessing this is for those? How exactly they expect to provide quarterly kits with such a late Q1 kit I'm not really sure. My FLGS will happily take all the kits it can get, but I'm not really sure other stores would feel the same.

The Card Marking is for Q1 (Top Left)
Phantoms? It looks nice but not many use them. Bleh.
Also expanded hanger bays? Really? Why not external racks or skilled first officer?

Yup, so it is. Good catch, you're right. Q1 it is.

Give them time.
I'm hoping on Flight Commander myself. I only have 2 in my Rebel list because I was
stupid
crazy enough to purchase 2 Interdictors.
So many battle of Endor quotes and stuff that relates to Dreadnoughts...
Hm.
Am I going crazy or is that the SSD on the Hangar Bay Alt Art?...
I thought hangers was a fine choice, given that currently its only in the vic or the core set expacs.

It is a Bellator/Assertor. Not THE SSD but A SSD.

Awhh... I was thinking it was just a weird angle on it... still, Bellator/Assertor card at this point means that we can potentially see them or other legends SDs in the future!

ooh well there you go! I assumed it was Q1 because you know, 4 command tokens, 1 per quarter. But i guess not, come to think of it, i think they did that with engineering tokens from the last set and made it a Nationals only prize right?
It seems like we're either a whole kit behind or a whole quarter behind. ah well, like you these days we just take whatever we can get.
Not Yelling Hat Man!
Still pretty cool. I'm optimistic Phantoms are going to get some help eventually. Like how I just finally got to play my Vader AA last week...
Anyone else kinda hoping medical teams becomes an Alt Art at some point? I know they're pretty useless but it would be nice to get some seeing as they only come in the Liberty currently.

I'm not sure what makes phantoms better than than a straight up rule change. People that argue they're good with sloane are the same that say things like "one time i rolled 4 doubles on my red ISD dice". Ya, one time that might have happened, but that's 1/8*1/8*1/8*1/8 so their anecdote is pretty meaningless. Until I see something legit happen to them they're relegated to the shelf to share space with my space dump trucks and non-IG88 crab fighter things.

So does SFO, and that actually gets used.

"While attacking a ship, squadrons within distance 5 that do not have bomber , rogue , or swarm may reroll any number of dice in their battery armament."
... or something.

Add Spinal Armaments too.

I was also sad about this. The Expanded Hangar Bays alt-art is really sweet, though, but it's hardly a chase upgrade nowadays.

I'm one of the few TIE Phantom defenders and even I would happily accept a buff to bring them up from "decent provided you base your squadron approach around getting them to work" to "good without having to do all that work to polish a
turd
misunderstood squadron."
The article describes these as "Season One" prizes; maybe they're considering a new Season structure, with 4 throughout the year lining up with Spring (after regionals, up to Worlds), Summer (Worlds through Store Championships) and so on.
Or that's just their way around the 3-month delay.
