I opened my wave 3 ships last night. Here are pics of the ships and the cards all in one place for those that need to know. Sorry some of the pics are a bit blurry, but you get the idea. Ships:

That Blaster Turret will fit on a Y-Wing, won't it? That's a bit of a game-changer. |

No it's not a turret. It's the same type as the heavy laser cannon for the Slave I. The cheaper 3 point ion cannon is the same type. It only fires out the primary weapons arc and the Y-wing doesn't have an upgrade slot for it. The fire control system is interesting for the Y-wing. Burn the target lock to fire and acquire another to just toss it onto another unit. It would be nice to have a cheaper option for torps then the proton. |

If you look at the icon on the blaster turret, it is the same as the icon on the y wing's upgrade bar. I think you could assign it to a y wing. You're thinking of the autoblaster. it is the same as the heavy laser cannon. |

Stevet has it correct…we were posting at the same time. :) |

So does this mean that Wave 3 is now available? Did you pre-order yours or how/where did you get them? |
| CorSecEng | 23 Aug 2013 11:05 a.m. PST |
GenCon is the only way to get them so far. The main shipment is on the boat and stores can pre-order soon. |
| afilter | 23 Aug 2013 11:22 a.m. PST |
Correct, a friend attended GenCon and hooked me up. |

Crud. I had hopes my pre-order would be at my FLGS. Another week or so, I guess. |
| CorSecEng | 23 Aug 2013 1:14 p.m. PST |
Think another month or so. Preorders are opening in a week or so. Depends on customs times really. They call it a slow boat for a reason. |

do the shuttle wings fold down? |

It only fires out the primary weapons arc and the Y-wing doesn't have an upgrade slot for it. Nope, the blaster turret that comes with the HK-290 IS a turret-type weapon, so the Y-wing can also use it. -Will |

I was wondering the same thing. Do the wings fold down? |
| afilter | 23 Aug 2013 8:10 p.m. PST |
Yes wings on shuttle move |

I still like my Hallmark shuttle better since It plays vader's song.! |
 miniMo | 13 Sep 2013 4:37 p.m. PST |
I already have an F-Toys shuttle. 2 FFG ones on pre-order. If I ever decide I could use a 4th, 'm definitely getting the Hallmark one. Alas, I did not know that the Hallmark one played the theme back when I got the F-Toys. |
