Store championships coming soon!
Store Championships
I like this a lot.
Yes, definitely a good support move on FFG's part.
I like the idea. "Regionals" were really watered down last year. I just wish the X-wing kits didn't look so paltry compared to the LCGs. Are Range Rulers really compared to playmats with AMAZING art?
Will any of this stuff (particularly the card boxes) be for sale?
Not likely.
I would guess these items will be exclusive to the kits. After having used all 3 kits that FFG has put out for game nights, the range rulers were the most sought after. The target locks were Ok, and the shields are really cool, but all of my league players ask me when FFG will be putting out more range rulers.
You may find some of this stuff on ebay as I have seen and purchased shield tokens off ebay for $2 each. I like them so i purchased them. The store that supports the league i run get 3 kits each time they come out. That gives a lot of free acrylic items to give out to players. With the store championship kit, they will probably be limited to one per store so they will be limited to 5 rulers and 2 boxes plus the 36 cards. I am really looking forward to this item.
Meh, not impressed. This must appeal to card players. Should I win any, they will be given away to others.
I think the pilot card storage would be once. I have a crapton of cards as I have 4 of every ship except shuttles 3 and firesray 3. That's a lot of pilot cards I carry around. I also demo the game so having the multiples are important. If you have a few ships, the boxes may not be very appealing.
If I don't use the card box for X-Wing, I'll use it for the LCG or some other game. Its just too cool looking!
I wish that they showed one of them open though. The description says its for ship cards, upgrade cards, and tokens. So does it have several compartments in it, sized for each of those items, or is it just a standard box w/2 rows made to store normal sized cards and your upgrades and tokens will lay around lose inside?
