wave 2 upgrades in the Kessel Run?

By niceas, in X-Wing Rules Questions

Just a quick question. Is there anything official preventing people from using previously acquired Wave 2 ships and/or upgrades in Kessel Run events? I've assumed that it was a no-go, but wanted to check.

You cannot use unreleased models/cards in official play. Specifically, if you check out the FFG X-Wing Tournament rules, it explicitly states which products are legal in tournament play (Core set, wave 1 expansions, dice pack, dice app).

Wave 2 ships and upgrades are not legal for KRE (or any official tournament) currently. Legal expansions are listed in the tournament rules PDF and only include Wave 1. So no Wave 2 ships or cards for KRE.

As above, no wave 2 ships in tournaments until they are officially released. (Sorry, just posting because the "new post" tag has been stuck on this one for me and I want to make it go away so that I can more quickly tell if there's a new rules question to address).

officailly they are not allowed however I would check with your TO (assuming it hasnt happend yet) Ive known Kessal run people get it in their head that they can sell their kit, or let their regulars who happen to have wave 2 ships have an advantage

That would be something to contact FFG. FFG sent those kits with certain expectations. It is in thier interests to see the events run properly. At the very least in order to keep the same people from getting kits again.
