You're quite a bit more optimistic than I am if you think they can finish development, do all of the printing, ship it to their warehouse in MN, and then ship it from MN to the retailers in the next 6 weeks.  I hope you're right, but the shipment from the printers to them can take 6 weeks by itself…

I've been collecting FFG stuff for years. The Upcoming Page status is not always accurate. 

However another way to look at it is according to upcoming page pack 1 is Q1, pack 2 is Q1 and pack 3 is Q3. Only way for that to work is Feb, Mar, Apr. 

Now if there is a printing delay this is all subject to change.

So what is the deal with this page - is it an error?

The page has prices, with "A Dark Time" saying it can be bought now, with the others not available.

MasterJediAdam said:

Lol, yes that is an error. A funny one too since A Dark Time is the third pack. I'll report that one to the webmaster.

Thanks. I am super excited to get my stuff in the mail this weekend, but wanted to get caught up with all the gear I needed.

Also, I know it is off topic, but is it a good idea to purchase 2x of these packs. I don't have experience with fixed pack games, so I am a little unsure.

Force Packs come with two of each objective set unless it says Limit of 1 in which case you get one. So you will never need more than one pack unless you want to use the same sets in multiple decks at the same time.

MasterJediAdam said:

Yes you only need to buy one of each Force pack. Would you guys be upset if they call the future prequel packs "Midiclorian Packs"?

I am excited. My stuff comes in the mail soon. I am planning on coming your way later on this year; so I fully expect a tour of the gaming center and some time to play a few rounds. Beside you and Jeeps, any other locals I know playing?

Toq don't joke!

To add, I'm really interested in this cycle. The Hoth expansion for SWCCG was one of my favorites. Target the main generators!!

How do you guys feel about Vader only having 3 damage icons, one even being edge? His ability must be powerful.

videinfra said:

His ability gives his 4th icon back to him and the rest of the attacking units.

Which is why I don't understand why eveyone seems to think it's Unit Damage.  It seems more logical to me that it would be Blast Damage restoring the same 4 icons that the Sith Vader has.

Well, he was leading troops on the ground on Hoth, so it makes a bit of sense that he'd assist in doing unit damage in this instance.

DailyRich said:

Yes but the goal was the takeover of the base (objective) and capture of forces (units), not wanton destruction of said forces.

It could be either icon. We cannot say for sure until we see the entire card. For now all any of us can do is guess.

Considering that he has to be attacking I'm hoping that it is objective damage.  If it was defending I would love unit damage.
