The latest expansion for Star Wars: Unlimited, Jump to Lightspeed, doesn’t enter Hyperspace until Mar. 14, but you can already pre-order the new set online. Jump to Lightspeed will launch with Booster and Prerelease Boxes just like the previous expansion, Twilight of the Republic, but introduces a couple of new ways to collect the Star Wars TCG in the form of Spotlight Decks and Carbonite Edition Boosters. We’ve found some select online retailers where you can pre-order the new set, but you might want to consider checking with your local games store as well.
As the name suggests, Jump to Lightspeed focuses on the ships, pilots, and fleet commanders of the Star Wars franchise; it introduces new Leader cards for characters like Grand Admiral Thrawn and Wedge Antilles along with iconic starships like the Millennium Flacon, Home One, and The Invisible Hand. We’ve provided the various options available to pre-order the new expansion below.
Spotlight Decks
Unlike the two previous expansions, Jump to Lightspeed wont launch with a two-player starter box option, instead opting for a pair of premade decks built around Han Solo and Boba Fett. Jump to Lightspeed Spotlight Decks can only currently be pre-ordered as a pair from Miniature Market for $34.99. Both of the 50-card decks include tokens, a rulebook, and a single Jump to Lightspeed Booster Pack to jumpstart your collection.
Both Spotlight Decks also include four exclusive cards unavailable in Booster Packs. The full roster of cards for either deck can be found below.
Prerelease Box
The best way to start collecting cards from the Jump to Lightspeed expansion if you’ve already been introduced to Star Wars Unlimited is with the Prerelease Box. Each Prerelease Box includes a deck box, two premium leader cards from the new expansion, tokens, a quick-start rulebook, and six Jump to Lightspeed Booster Packs. You can currently reserve a Prerelease Box from Miniature Market for $29.99.
Booster Box
Booster Boxes for Jump to Lightspeed contain 24 sealed Booster Packs containing 16 cards from the new expansion. Booster boxes are currently available to pre-order from Miniature Market for $84.99.
The spread of cards for Jump to Lightspeed Booster Packs remains the same as previous expansions, with each 16-card pack containing nine commons, three uncommons, one rare or legendary, one base or token card, a Leader card, and a single foil card of a random rarity.
Carbonite Edition Booster Packs
Jump to Lightspeed is also introducing a new type of Booster Pack containing more rare variants of cards for dedicated collectors. While currently unavailable to pre-order, single Carbonite Edition Booster Packs will be available at launch for $24.99 each, with 12-pack display boxes retailing for $299.99. Markedly more expensive than standard Booster Packs, each 16-card pack contains a more impressive spread of cards with alternate art treatments including foil, Showcase, Hyperspace, and Hyperspace Foil cards. Only a single run of Carbonite Edition boosters will be produced, making them extremely valuable to collectors.
Carbonite Edition boosters also introduce Prestige variants, ultra-rare versions of cards that feature unique art which can also potentially be a foil card or one of 250 serialized copies of that card.
