Wave 4 should be hitting the shelves sometime in the next few weeks, and Wave 5 just got announced: a YT-2400 and VT-49

Part of the bits in the kit include Debris Cloud Tokens, stay tuned for rules details….

those are sexy – I been putting off buying anything as I will go over board but with all these non cannon ships the dark side is pulling me in – although outrider was added into ep 4 later --- they need the ebon hawk and I am all in

That TB-49 is very nice. I need to get back into playing this game.

Disco Joe13 Jun 2014 4:43 p.m. PST

They look so cool. Two more items added to my list.

I like that they're doing some of the ships from the old sketchbooks.

McWong7313 Jun 2014 5:34 p.m. PST

isn't the top ship in the picture from the new animated series?

Brother Jim13 Jun 2014 5:38 p.m. PST

I like the way the VT-49 looks !!

Personal logo miniMo Supporting Member of TMP13 Jun 2014 5:56 p.m. PST

No, the top ship is from something else. I'm not familiar with it, but love the way it looks. Very Imperial sinister.

The Ghost in the new series also looks cool, and has a huge B-24 vibe to it.

Airborne Engineer13 Jun 2014 6:02 p.m. PST

Nice, now to wonder what the other two ships in the wave will be. Probably two small ships.

That VT-49 with 4 shields and 12 hull is going to be a beast to bring down.

Mr Elmo13 Jun 2014 6:05 p.m. PST

I think my collection is done. The are outside of original movie canon now.

Lord Ashram13 Jun 2014 6:28 p.m. PST

Holy crap… Anyone notice the imperial only Mara Jade card…?

DB Draft13 Jun 2014 6:49 p.m. PST

Best thing about these ships…. absolutely no reason to get more than one of them.

Personal logo miniMo Supporting Member of TMP13 Jun 2014 7:16 p.m. PST

Aaaand, all this is going through Disney approval, so it looks like we'll be seeing Mara Jade in future movies <3

McWong7313 Jun 2014 7:28 p.m. PST

I never really took to the expanded universe designs, especially all the tie variants, but these do look cool. IMHO, I found that much of it taken up with fleshing out ideas around the Jedi mythos. For me Star Wars was all about the space ships, not lightsabers.

Toshach Sponsoring Member of TMP13 Jun 2014 8:43 p.m. PST

I like 'em.

Delthos14 Jun 2014 9:01 a.m. PST

Airborne Engineer, I'm thinking this is all there will be in Wave 5.

Mako1114 Jun 2014 2:51 p.m. PST

The designs don't do anything for me, but it appears I am in the minority, or others are just being nice……

Personal logo Herkybird Supporting Member of TMP14 Jun 2014 3:14 p.m. PST

Can't say I am interested in any more non-movie models.
I will therefore probably not be doing any solo rules for them. (sorry to anyone who uses the solo rules)

I would personally like some models from Episodes 1-3!

SouthernPhantom14 Jun 2014 4:17 p.m. PST

Again, once they make Skiprays, I may need to buy in. Listen to me FFG!

Personal logo Parzival Supporting Member of TMP14 Jun 2014 5:51 p.m. PST

One of each, but that's all. Of course, that's all I have of the other large ships, too, so I'm not really making any sort of change to my buying habits.

As designs go, they're okay. The second is better than the one that looks like somebody slapped R2's dome on top of a TIE cockpit and then stretched the sides out.

Imperials finally get a turreted ship.
