I went to the FFG site and read all about the second wave. I particularly loved this bit of intro copy for the A-Wing:
Conceived by General Dodonna, the RZ-1 A-wing interceptor proved its worth by crippling Star Destroyers during the Battle of Endor. Well, yes, an A-wing *did* "cripple" a Star Destroyer at the Battle of Endor… by crashing into her bridge! But, hey, a kill is a kill, right?

Exactly! Hmmm, perhaps a squadron of robotically controlled A-Wings are in order. Sounds like the Tie Interceptors are gonna be a hot commodity, due to their performance, in addition to their looks. |

I think ALL of the next wave is going to sell like hotcakes. It sounds as if all the ships are going to add a lot of new flash to the game. And I haven't come close to tiring of the game as it is now! |

Yep, definitely a good mix of unique maneuvering, weapons, and tactics to keep life interesting for awhile. Looking forward to the B-Wing and Tie Defender releases too, which will hopefully be forthcoming. If not, I'll just make up my own stats, and use Titanium fighters for those battles. |

Perfect time to post this I just finished my Revelle buy of 6 X wings, 3 Tie Advanced and 3 Tie Interceptors. All for under five bucks each on sale at the hobby shop. I was just going to use them for Tie Fighters as they do not make them in this scale. This will work out very well I will print the cards today! I did see a Millennium Falcon and another ship I can not remember right now. They also had a series of X Wings in the box that are $6.99 USD but I am not sure of the scale.

If the box is about 5" x 8", and comes with a pilot fig, and the R2 unit (could be an R5 I guess, but I doubt it), it is approximately 1/56th scale (28mm), based upon a posting and review by another gamer. They normally retail for around $20 USD – $25 USD bucks. |

I remember the other ship now. It was a B-Wing but once again no indication of scale.
