Maneuver Dials Wearing Out

Panic said:
yeah,
The dials are made for holding and turning,
If your dial wears out you should contact FFG, It should not happen
!
If my dials wear out I will request replacements from FFG as they are obviously not fit for purpose.
Panic…
Really??
So the tires on my car, being made to allow my car to grip the road, shouldn't wear out? Even after tens of thousands of miles of use?
You're rubbing two surfaces together… logic dictates, along with a few thousand years of history, that things will wear out after repeated use.
Now if they aren't holding up to casual use, then that's a problem.
But then you should at least be able to buy replacement dials, rather than the whole set

Oh… I completely agree.
One of my Y-wing dials is wearing out on the inside where the printed maneuvers are. I have not used it very much at all. I would say less than 10 games for sure, and I am not doing anything abusive with them. Potentially I pushed the black buttons together too tightly but I don't know how it's any different than other times I did it for the other ships.

I agree with Panic. If any of my dials wears out, I will be contacting FFG for a replacement.
Also, don't let people with sweaty hands play. My brother rubbed through the printing to plain white within 20 minutes.
I made a video tutorial on how to use the ACID free contact paper from ContactBrand.

And idea why FFG didn't laminate the dials first place? it should not be very expensive to do and it would have solved this issue….

Find me any other FFG games which come with laminated dials, templates, tokens, etc.
