New Core Set spotted/leaked - NO PICS.

[Mr Mystery]

Morning.

Bit of a brouhaha about this, as it seems to have been spotted through unofficial channels. To save BoLs a wrist slap or worse from The Power That Be, I shan't copy any of the pics I've found (though Dakka has them, and Dakka isn't my favourite place. Won't link either, because paranoia).

In short?

New X-Wing, two new TIE Fighters.

From the very little you can see from them.....the new X-Wing has a Boost action added, BB-8 is available as an upgrade droid, and it looks like there's a new category of upgrade card.

New Asteroid shapes as well.

Seriously folks - respect the BoLS and refrain from posting pics, lest we land our glorious site owners in the Rancor Pit.

My Hoax-sense is tiggling...

There are some things that don't make sense with this "leak" (from the source to the design of the "product" shown) - the only thing that speaks for this "leak" is the timing (FFG's must be recieving prototypes now if they want/have to make the movie tie-in release window)


That there are unassigned catalogue numbers in the current FFG X-Wing lineup is undisputed, same goes for the comments at GenCon that FFG has something lined-up for the movie ... but I am sceptical that this is it

For the record, I would be thrilled about a new starter

Pics very much suggest not a hoax.

Still not happy to share them on here though! They can currently be viewed on Dakkadakka - I'm sorry for any mental scarring in advance.

Looks legit to me

Same, looks totally legit.

Pic is incredibly blurry, but I think the X-Wing has 3 Hull and 3 Shields, making it quite the beast......but it is very, very blurry so I may be wrong.
