Store championships.

By Hystarr, in X-Wing

I read this in the organized play section, and wondered if anyone else had more info about it...

They  said in their Hyperspace Report that Store Championships this Summer would start in June and would have 2.0 compatible prizes. I, for one, would like to  make further plans with actual information.

FFG has stated that all upcoming kits will have a mix of 1.0 & 2.0 goodies inside. Beyond that we have no info on dates or specific contents.

I see, but if they do in fact start in June a mere 18 days away for June, then the more vision we have on them the better people can make plans.

Sadly it will most likely be the case where events will be held without the kits and then prizes will have to be sent out later. FFG hasn’t been all that good about hyping the kits/events lately.

That sounds amazingly awesome....could they at least do it 3rd class mail with absolutely no tracking numbers too? Ooohhh, I know they could send them COD....you want your earned prizes? That'll be $19.95 for the shipping. ?

Oh its not FFG sending them out, they’re pretty hands-off except for sending the kits. Its up to the store/venue/host to send the prizes out. Its happened at higher-tier events as well.

Didn't they give out dual sided promos at Worlds (Fearlessnes concord dawn 1.0/zealot recruit 2.0 and the Fenn Rau 1.0/2.0)? I'd imagine that will happen for a while.

They sure did and the Continental prizes are double sided cards too. In the hyperspace report, they stated they would ship in June. Nothing else is known. The same thing happened for regional kits. We didn't get the reveal article until after the season officially started and kits were in peoples hands.
