In what may be either the biggest hoax FFG has ever seen OR a New Hope for a plethora of new ships to play with, what looks to be an Episode VII starter was spotted yesterday.
Via Captain Citadel (and various other sites on the web)
Pictures were posted on our forums that looks to show a new X-Wing Starter with the new “blue” X-Wing Fighter and two new “white paneled” Tie Fighters in a format just like the current Starter set. The art on the box cover is nearly the same as the current starter, just with the “blue” paint scheme for Episdoe VII.
Close ups of the box seem to show new pilot cards like Epsilon Leader for the new Ties, and Blue leader for the X-wings. Also visable was a card for the BB-8 soccer droid and the card back for what looks to be a new class of droids as well.
