Finally, It may also mean, that they dont plan to release the Raider, *as an imperial ship*. We may still get a raider as a First Order ship. They may not even release a CR-90 as a republic ship, opting to just release a card pack for the upgrades instead so they don have to have 2 lines of huge models with different paint jobs. This is what im more expecting to happen.

This would actually make a lot of sense for them. The current stock of 1st ed Raiders would be for GE and when they run out they can issue a 2nd ed FO release, with a different paint job or cards. Same with the GR75. I also don’t think they mean the Raider is permanently cancelled as they have the molds and cards already done so it would be silly not to re-release the Raider at some point. I wonder if they’ll release the Gozanti again as 1st ed stock is really hard to find.

I just bought one from my not so local game shop (401Games) on the weekend for $40. They had a Black Friday sale with 35% off 1st edition X-Wing products and had 5 on the shelf when I picked mine up. I posted about it earlier in this thread. I believe they are out of stock now.

Grumble...Grumble...Grumble... Lucky... :) I don't know of any locally and online I'm looking at them costing 150%+ what FFG was charging for them on their 1.0 product page.

Remember back in 2015, when the Raider was just consider a piece of junk plastic that you were forced to buy to get Palpatine??

Ah, good times. 😲
