I hope we get them all but I am worried they all fill a similar role.

I think The Ghost comes with both shuttles. I've seen images of the rear of the Ghost model with a removable Attack Shuttle back there. My theory is that it'll come with the Sheathapede AND an Attack Shuttle with TINY folding wings, or a SECOND Attack Shuttle with open wings... but if not, at least those of us buying the Ghost a second time will have the joy of having an open wing version of the shuttle to use
Ah, I see that in the photo now. That's pretty smart; it cuts down by a SKU, and now they can have a Sheathipede release for CiS.

Maybe:
TIE/vn - beefy with torps
SF IN - turret/rear arc
Vonreg’s - shields and insane dial or superior ship ability
Triangular one - 3 Hull 1 shield cheap filler
Edit: Actually I saw in a concept art piece that the triangular one has what look like rear lasers too. Could be a problem...
Edited by ClassicalMoserThe images of the ghost's packaging shows a sheathipede and nothing docked in the ghost itselt.
My guess is they didn't want to pay for a 3d printed prototype and just put a 1.0 ghost out.
Presentation showed a new stand for the ghost as well and that one has the old stand.

Crabbock posted a vid of the Ghost display from Celebration on Youtube. It looked like the old Model, but upon closer inspection it appeared as if the Phantom 1 was detachable. It's in a glass case though so can't really say for certain. The lack of Phantom 1 cards and model is a bit disappointing, but if it does have a non-flyable model to insert that could be cool, just for the sake of the min looking the way it should. Again, can't be sure at all about this, but it's a little ray of hope.
EDIT: lol I just realized that someone already said all this. I need to read all responses before posting
Edited by Hippie MoosenI like the Y-Wing, but I've barely started playing and don't want to buy into another faction yet. As an aside I've downright LOVED my Rebel Y-Wing so far.
I only recognize the Imperial TIE variant because Hobbytown has a bunch of 1.0 versions of it on the shelf they can't seem to give away.
The rest I don't recognize so I'm like...okay.

Remember, we don't know the poster is legit.
Also, the TIE Defender doesn't have Autothrusters... Who says these new ones do?

Where???
The ghost only comes with two dials so unlikely it will contain 3 ships...

Sounds like it might come with a "docked Attack Shuttle" model? But no dial/cards/cardboard to play it with. It would be super generous of them.

Looks like F/O and resistance are only getting expansions every even numbered wave right now and might suggest the Upsilon, MG-100 fortress and YT-1300 could be in wave 6 as the last expansions to drop for them prior to wave 8 bringing film IX ships
the first order barely exists in the new films and media. with such a bare bones presence, no backstory and minimal worldbuilding, Disney hasnt given FFG anything to pull from yet. its like making cloud city police a faction

This is a problem that the Resistance and First Order share IMO. I feel like the First Order gets the worst of it though. Their entire identity is their visual motifs which they lifted from the Empire, and the unbridled psychotic rage of their leaders. They feel like directionless rage given physical form. For the Resistance we at least know that they are tangentially related to the Rebellion, thanks to Leia and Nien both being in this group. We don't really know why they called themselves the Resistance before the fall of the Republic though. At least not from the movies. I think there are some novels or comics or something that explain what the setting is like after the 30 years following Palpatine's presumed death, but that stuff really needed to be in one of the films.

They read the script.

the resistance have T70s, Awings, that Fug Bus, the shuttles they use in TLJ, Star fortress bombers, and the Falcon.
The first order have the Upsilon, Ties, and the Silencer.
Th SF tie is the regular first order tie in the movies, they just split into 2 ships to sell more toys.
So 6 ships vs 3 ships?

No its not, both standard TIE/fo and TIE/sf is seen in the films. The differences aren't major but they are there, as one sees clearly in the miniatures.
The SF TIE is definitely distinct from the regular even in the movies, although it's honestly hard to tell them apart given how similar the silhouettes are.
It's a crying shame they went with 'same sillhouette with a few extra greeblies' rather than something interesting.

And the Xi-Class Light Shuttle https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/Xi-class_light_shuttle
The troop transport https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/AAL-1971/9.1_Troop_Transport
The FO Interceptor https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/First_Order_TIE_Interceptor
So, 6 vs 6.

we havent seen the interceptor yet, but yeah I forgot about the dropship from TFA.
First order is gonna be the shuttle faction, lol

eh Disney errata'd cannon so all Ties are that big. theres nothing different except the antenna and the chunkier wing stems.
A TIE fighter wearing a call center headset is still just a TIE fighter

Sez u.
They are canonically, in the movies and in x wing, different ships. The /fo is an update of the original /ln, the /SF has some different greeblies, but also two seats, a rear window and a turret, hyperdrive, beefier shields, life support, missiles, etc.
Like I said, it's annoying as heck that they weren't more different in design, but you're just straight up wrong to say they're the same ship. Wrong. No two ways about that.

Yes, we have. It has been seen in multiple episodes of the Resistance cartoon. Considering how many ships X-Wing got from Rebels, I’d bet it’s only a matter of time before we see an FO Interceptor in game. Plus, we already have a named pilot who will probably slot in at i5 or i6 named Elrik Vonreg.

We have seen that interceptor in Resistance, we haven't seen the NEW interceptor/silencer hybrid from the tRoS trailer.
FO is going to be the shuttle and interceptor faction with at least 3 of each (counting the Silencer as an interceptor)

wow, youre projecting some baggage there dude.
never claimed to own Disney Corp., have control over ship design, etc.
clearly my opinions about a ship are my opinions, no need to get weird about it.
In my 2 viewings of TFA I saw zero indication that any of the ties were different at all, antena aside. Some of the toys sold for the movie didnt make the distinction either. the cockpits are the same size according to Disney, they have the same wingspan, etc.
its like saying the E250 Ford transit cargo van and E250bford transit passenger van are different vehicles cause 1 has some extra seats and a window. theyre different models of the same product... like Scyk and Heavy Scyk
