The latest expansion for Star Wars: Unlimited, Jump to Lightspeed is finally available via online retailers. Jump to Lightspeed has launched 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 purchase 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 Falcon, Home One, and The Invisible Hand. We’ve provided the various options available to buy the new expansion below.
Unlike the two previous expansions, Jump to Lightspeed won’t 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 bought 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.
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 buy Prerelease Boxes from Miniature Market for $29.99.
Booster Boxes for Jump to Lightspeed contain 24 sealed Booster Packs containing 16 cards from the new expansion. Booster boxes are currently available 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 that can also potentially be a foil card or one of 250 serialized copies of that card.
