All the X-Wing Promo Stuff?

By Mattr0polis, in X-Wing

Hi all,

Just got back from FFG Worlds Weekend. I had a blast! I was only there to play Star Wars LCG but between rounds I kept wandering past the crazy amount of tables of X-Wing players. It was impossible to miss! I couldn't help but be taken aback by how awesome the game looked on the table and how much fun everyone looked like they were having playing X-Wing.

Anyway, due to all that, and also being a huge Star Wars fan, I was thinking about starting up X-Wing.

I see all of the ships available, but I was hoping someone could help me find a list of all of the other promo stuff available and how necessary it was to get.

I've seen some of the acrylic tokens, some promo cards like the Fett they were giving out at Worlds and in the game kits, etc. I even saw one guy with an awesome metal coin.

Can someone show me a list of all of the promo extra stuff? Are all of the promo cards just alternate art or are they actual different ships? Is there any other cool extra stuff?

I have all of this down for SW LCG, but I'm a bit lost with the X-Wing stuff for now.

Thanks! MTFBWY!

The promo cards are just alternate art

The acrylics are done by 3rd party companies.


Start with 2 core sets. It's the cheapest way to get tie fighters and X-Wings, and you'll need the 6 dice of each type. After that, there's not really such a thing as a bad purchase.

While the 2 core sets are definitely a good idea, don't forget; the X-wing and TIE fighter expansions come with different must-have pilots, so if you see those, grab them too.

Yeah, I picked up a Millennium Falcon at the FFG Center so that I can say that my Falcon came from there, but I'll definitely be going after probably 2 core sets first.

I'm mainly curious about all of the promo stuff though. I thought some of the acrylic tokens were "official" and from the game night kits? Do they have those for every token type?

Sounds like I don't need the promo cards then though, but is there an easy place to see a list of all of the current released ones?

Where did that awesome metal coin come from and what is that used for in the game?

Thanks. ^_^

It was either the coin from Star Wars LCG regionals (only the top two got them.... I traded a gyro for one lol) or it was the championship coins from last years FFG World event for X-wing.

Was it Sith / Jedi or Rebel/ Imperial symbols?

Also yes SOME of the acrylics are official FFG promos, but that was just the game night range rulers or the movement templates from the Top16 this year. It's easier to get them from third party and get them customized.

Don't forget the shield tokens (gnk2) and focus tokens (regionals).

to play the game, all that stuff is just fluff.. with 2 CORE sets you are set to play, and then you can acquire ships as your funds allow.. unless you go overboard like I did and buy up a bunch of ships lol.. I got like 40 of them so far, and 2 each of the big ships.. sigh..
