The new ships are HERE – come see the new X-Wing Episode VII Starter set that was available at Target last night!
Following up on Episode VII X-Wing Starter Set pictures from last week, the pilot cards and ships (the new “blue” X-Wing Fighter and two new “white paneled” Tie Fighters) presumably from the new set have now been spotted as well.
