I have looked at the xwing faq, and you're right, its ridiculous. Still putting my voice out there (figuratively) even if their hands are tied. after all, maybe they feel its untenable only in XWING? we dont actually know.

In XWing.

And IA.

And all their others...

... apart from Destiny. They don’t care there about incorrect cards because the cards go out of print and out of legality in time anyway.

That's nice. At least I will have a chance to try out the Thrawn regenerator.

Oh important detail! We are hosting a tournament on Sunday the 15th starting at noon if you can make it! FAQ will apply (players are insisting we set the new rules in motion early).

If I can make it I will be there, but I think I have Indians tickets with a friend that day! Serious first world problem. Thanks for letting me know though.

I mean, there HAS to be a legal reason as to why they wouldn’t just drop an upgrade card pack.

The margins on it are fantastically good ...

But despite the demand for it existing FOR YEARS in X wing, it hasn’t happened.

There IS business sense in doing it.

The fact that they have NOT points to me that they MUST be restricted outside of their control somehow.

Which makes demanding it, in sorry to say, a futile effort in whining.

Bad business decisions are not a legal requirement. They could simply have data that says "Packaging with minis is how you make money"

I just figure there has to be a reason, and it’s widely accepted (but hardly a proof) that just card only packs have a fraction of the manufacturing costs of other additions — and the markup is pretty much whatever you want...

We’re all in the dark on specifics anyway.

Just figured if it was going to be done, it’d be done by now.

I'm probably going to just suck it up and print out the new cards and slip them into the sleeves alongside the old ones for strength. Frankly, it's not like I haven't been playing all along with printed upgrades from the ships I haven't bought yet, anyway.

As for all the cards where there is just a rules clarification rather than a rewording, I'll probably just use a sharpie and put a little asterisk on the card sleeve to remember there is something to reference.
