So I am new to the game, but I am a collector as well. Are there any promo like cards that I have missed out on and if so how could I get them? (I am sure amazon and ebay are locations)

Amazon/ebay may be locations, but they'll cost waaay too much. I've seen promo cards for like $80 a piece.
there are a few alternate art cards about. u get them by participating in game night leagues and such eg. alt art wedge, alt art lando, alt art gold squadron pilot, alt art black squadron pilot, theres also acrylic tokens too.
Yup.. free stuff guys price gouge and sell on ebay.. personally I don't 'collect' I buy stuff to play with.. I have a few alt cards due participation and I resfuse to pay outrageous prices to gain items that are unnecessary for the game.. be careful when you go looking for these items.
A background on the promo items: none of them are in any way a competitive advantage. There are a number of pilot cards with alternative art. There are also a couple of early ones that were oversized. There are acrylic movement templates, acrylic range rulers and various acrylic tokens.
It's up to you to decide how much you think they are worth, I won't tell you they are overpriced. They are purely cosmetic. That's a good thing. FFG won't make something pay-to-play or pay-to-win. That's very counter to their core philosophy. But they do make all kinds of fun prizes and participation rewards for various events.
Well I know that the boba fett cards from worlds were selling like crazy on eBay last year. Think the first one went for 120. The lando cards are hard to find any more. Which do you have and which are you looking for?
Edited by LegionThreeBoba Fett was a participation reward at World Championships 2013. Lando was at Gen Con National Championships 2013. Since they are very limited, they have a higher "value". Wedge was part of the game night kit, so many more out there.
I've started a list here: http://community.fantasyflightgames.com/index.php?/topic/101522-x-wing-promotional-items-overview/

Like Hexis says, this is not like a collectible game with rare, unique, etc... The collectible items are different art or acrylic versions of standard tokens. That way every player has the same chance to field/build squads. It doesn't matter whether or not you attended and won at a convention halfway across the country or whether or not you're willing to cough up $100+ for a single card.
Some people like that, but others get bummed when only you are allowed to use different dice that cannot miss.
FFG has said while this is a living game (new expansions) it is not considered collectible in that respect.
I just saw poeple selling target lock tokens from the game night sets.. 50 bucks for 5 pairs... and a range guide from same set, fo 50 on its own... I hate people...

Don't hate the people selling the stuff, hate the people buying the stuff... They're the ones that are determining the stuff is worth that much. And then hate the gaming stores that buy the kits for $20 with the sole intention of selling the stuff on ebay for quite a bit more than that.

The most expensive card is boba fett, the others sell for a decent price. The y-wings are cheapest followed by the black squadron pilots.
Wedge is about 18-20, lando 5-10, nien about 7
Lando is not 5-10. Lando is ~60 bucks. I'll buy it from you at $10 though if you're selling! And by Nien, do you mean Ten? There is no alternate Nien Numb card. And since stores have started, he's sold for 7-22 bucks on ebay.

Yes Ten lol sorry for that, and I haven't seen lando in a minute though so I put mine up for 20$ just now
When I see certain cards go for $80+, and even the templates that went for $127+, I don't really have any desire for them
But the translucent dice...
I want.
Heck, I'll even settle for someone to make some custom ones. Clear dice are cool. ^^

Auction starts at 20 XD Hey bid 21 and you might win
All I can say is gotta love ebay -.-
There have been two oversized double-sided promo cards and 12 normal-sized alternate art promo cards (two of which are unreleased). Here are all the promo cards in the order they've been released:
Herm... The question becomes - how do I get my hands on extra alternate art Bandit cards? One is obviously easy, two is manageable, but since they're all going to be on one weekend, how do I go about 3-8? Bah... 1st world issues.
Edit: Holy hot mumma... Your Lando just sold for $100... I suppose you made the buy me now a little too low =P
Edited by KhyrosGot an offer and posted it up for 100.00. Shipped it today, got to get that positive feedback for the first 1!
Well, I'm looking for Lando, Fett and Wedge alt arts. Have Mithel, Ten Numb and Jendon, and a few of the Tie Game night medals.
If someone sends me a self-addressed stamped envelope, I'll send them my extra Ten Numb.
I'm still looking to trade for Shield tokens and/or Stress tokens.
I have a Store Champ Range Ruler.
Anyone selling the Boba or Luke (alternate foto) cards?
