What happen to expansions #10 & #11?

By RogueMorgan, in X-Wing

I have been sorting through my X-Wing minis and tokens and noticed something peculiar. Ever notice that little identifier on the token punch-out cards (black text on a field of white), it has the number for the product in the format SWXXX?

Well, the number correlates as follows:

SWX01 - Core Set

SWX02 - X-Wing Expansion

SWX03 - TIE Fighter Expansion

SWX04 - Y-Wing Expansion

SWX05 - TIE Advanced Expansion

SWX06 - Millennium Falcon Expansion

SWX07 - Slave I Expansion

SWX08 - A-Wing Expansion

SWX09 - TIE Interceptor Expansion

SWX10 - ???

SWX11 - ???

SWX12 - HWK-290 Expansion

SWX13 - Lambda-Class Shuttle Expansion

SWX14 - B-Wing Expansion

SWX15 - TIE Bomber

So, it appears that two other vessels had been "racked and stacked", but were bumped in favor of the Wave 3 vessels we now have. From a design and development perspective, this doesn't surprise me, but it makes for great conspiracy fodder as to what they were and why they were passed over, either short term or <gasp> permanently.

Perhaps the two biggins coming next year?

Probably the medium transport with escort and the Tantive IV. They had them on the drawing board for quite some time.

Early in the year it was revealed at a German games convention that the Falcon and Slave 1 were "medium" ships. That was way way back in the spring. Now those two ships show up at Gencon in full mockup.

That would be my bet.

There are enough pictures from GenCon floating around that we could probably confirm this if true. The little pieces of paper with the product name, price, and expected release time also had the product number. Can anyone find a good picture of them?

Could it be the Tiles and Dice?

The dice are 10, but the tiles are 20. I remember this coming up once before "what happened to 11?" and the answer was basically "things happen in production, might see it used later down the line".

My X-wing games....they go to 11.

They are not over 9000 however.
