Nice article but it is a bit annoying how we get given some squads when they haven’t updated the app yet.

Though it may mean that an update may be coming soon?

Huh, maybe I am crazy but that Silencer looks smaller and different than the old one. Might be the new sculpt they talked about.

They said the app would update on the 13th, when they release.

And still no official release date?

someone said the 13th was confirmed but I've not seen anything to back that up.

It's gray and black, rather than all black. And yes, it looks smaller to me, too.

Pictures of a new sculpt along with the missing SKUs do seem to point towards an initial plan for release with Wave 2. Interesting.

My FLGS said they should have them for release on the 13th.

Street legal 13th, Premier legal 24th

They had previously mentioned the new sculpt would be smaller. Good thing, since it needs to fit on a small base instead of a medium. The old sculpt was too large for that, really.

A lot smaller! (specially the wings)

PS: dang, I think I will buy one just for putting those wings on a TIE Advanced's body to make a TIE Avenger.

That's awesome - now I need two new Silencers. Merry holidays me!

How does the ship ability for the TIE/sf work? You can shoot missiles wherever the turret is pointed, is that right?

Anyone else noticed that the A-wing has their turret but the MG100 (Space B-17) doesn't have theirs?

Missiles that are normally limited to the forward arc (so all but Prockets, their limitation is bullseye arc so they are not affected by the TIE/sf ability) have that limitation replaced with the turret arc limitation. They can only fire out the arc the TIE/sf's turret is pointing (which is limited to either the front arc or the rear arc).

Yep. Looks like they're having issues getting the turret arc indicators to work right on the larger bases too.

I think I'll need to have the new one on small bases and the old on medium bases as the TIE SuperSilencer homebrew!!

Oh man! They updated the image. I really hope the first one is real.

Not to mention that four of the six ships between the two lists are ships that aren't individually part of the wave. This is really shaping up to be a strange wave.

I was curious about the missing SKUs before because I was holding on to a bit of hope that they were something really cool that they were just waiting to announce at the last second, but now I'm just curious about what happened in general, because it certainly seems that something did.

Oh c'mon, seriously???

Instead of Easter Eggs, this company hides Rotten Eggs for people to find. . .

Buying what? They’re not selling the Silencer right now anyways, just the conversion.

The first Silencer image looks like someone stepped on it. The other Silencer looks like a 1.0 miniature to me....no size change.
