Question about Tie-Reaper and Saw's Renegades

By Mesrob, in X-Wing

Folks,

Is there any reason for me to wait for an official 2.0 re-release of the Tie-Reaper or Saw's Renegades? Does the 1.0 versions, which come with 2.0 cards, fine enough? The reason I am asking is if there are going to be new cards and tokens with a 2.0 re-release. I believe they delayed these two re-releases. I know this question may be hard to answer, and I apologize if it sounds dumb. Thanks for your time, be safe everyone.

Some of the upgrade cards verbiage has been updated but there really isn't a reason to wait that I can find.

I would bet that in the end they will not get a reprint run... I would not wait for them.

The 2.0 rereleases of Saws and the Reaper were cancelled

Don't wait. While there will be some differences between the second edition components in the "1e" version vs "2e" version, namely a slightly redesigned dial for the Reaper and the use of symbology instead of text on some of the 2e cards, get them if you want to play with them, especially if you can find them for cheaper than MSRP.

The 1.0 Expansions for the Reaper & Saw’s already came with their 2.0 components.

Yes. I edited my original comment to clarify what I am talking about in the original Saw's and Reaper packs.

So bouncing off of what @LUZ_TAK , do we really think that they wont reprint Saw's Renegades in a "true" second edition package? They will have to do the Raider eventually to act as a counterpart to the Rebel CR-90. Wouldn't they just put the Renagrades and Reaper out at the same time? Eventually they would have to release the U-wing in a 2.0 package why not do it in that fashion?

They actually cancelled the 2.0 Raider release as well due to, according to FFG, an over abundance of 1.0 stock. Both the Raider, along with Saw's & the Reaper have had their 2.0 releases cancelled for several months.

This might be helpful to some. While the TIE Reaper, Saw's Renegades and Raider Corvette are not listed on the 2.0 product page, the 1.0 product page is still operational and shows all 3 as being in stock.
