This guy will most likely make more sense in the future once more droid support are availble. More of a conceptual character than anything.
Nebit - Jawa chieftain (borrowed idea from swgoh)
Yellow hero (could be red because of chieftain title)/ 10 health
9-12
[1] ranged
[1] disrupt
[1] resource
2x [special] - exhaust a droid support, turn its die to any side and resolve if it's not blank. If you set it to blank, rather than resolve the die, repeat this process with another droid support instead.
You may start the match with 2 resource worth of droids already on the battlefield.
Nebits ability can accomplish 2 things - getting all droid support dice in the pool for a future reroll or to resolve a needed ability. You can actually combine both but the chain will end if you run out of droids or immediately resolve one. Points may be off but it is heavily influenced by the quality of droids available

Technically you would be taking 4 actions in a row.
Regular action: play tactical mastery
TM action 1: card with ambush
TM action 2: your choice
Ambush action: your choice

One other thing to keep in mind... sure, little Timmy might cry that he can't play his luke with two dice because one of them is a misprint but should it become common knowledge that you allow tournament attendees to use misprints, spike with expendible income for days will start buying misprinted dice online (like my 3 damage side Han dice) and have a MASSIVELY unfair advantage beyond just having the best dice/cards in the meta. He will win almost every tournament even in mirror matches and once your regulars realize what you are allowing spike to do so you don't hurt little timmy's feelings, you will LOSE players and actively be hurting the longevity of the game in your area.
I wasn't completely joking about having a Han die availble should you allow misprints... it would easily be worth hundreds of dollars (thousands if the game really takes off) in your meta where Han sells for what, $30-40 at the moment.
Even if everything else we have all been saying does not sway you, ASK YOUR TOURNAMENT ATTENDEEs. I have a suspicion that the overwhelming majority of your player base will not care for this in the slightest and you will deter more players by allowing misprints than saying other players can't play a certain deck because of misprinted dice.

Because the die doesn't match the card, nor any other copy of the card, nor the digital card list provided by FFG through CardgameDB.As for others claiming a die that does not match a card makes the die incorrect, how are you determining it is the die that is wrong? Why is it not the card? Why does it have to be a mistake rather than an intended variation by FFG (not by the original designer, but it could have been made after it was out of his control by the company producing the game, FFG)? I have certainly played other games where there were multiple game elements that looked similar but had different game functionality.
Are you actually asserting that FFG purposefully decided to manufacture dice that match no die reference on any version of the card they correspond to?
What games have you played in which misprinted product is ever legal for use as is? Game elements looking similar is not even remotely similar to a misprint. Eventually we will have multiple Like Skywalkers. Those will look similar but be distinct from each other in function. That is not the same as Luke Skywalker die that has an extra melee side and doesn't match the Luke Skywalker card.
If you really need an official ruling for what is common sense, go ask FFG. But as I said before if you run events and allow players to use dice that do not match the intended die facings for that character, upgrade, or support; players will opt out of playing in events you run or ask the venue to not allow you to run events. And they absolutely should do so because if this is indicative of your judgement you shouldn't be running events.
I was unaware of cardgamedb, is this some official FFG page? It seems to have a lot of their products.
It is possible FFG produced variant secret rare dice with different faces on them. Why they chose not to produce matching cards for those high rarity dice is beyond me, I find that to be an odd choice if these are intentional prints.
Heroclix produced a figure that had a game effect based on the height of the sculpt. It has never come up at an official event, but I suspect if someone tried to play a copy they pulled from a booster that was damaged in such a way to make it shorter than the expected height of it, it would likely be allowed. Heroclix has many game elements that were errataed that remain legal for tournament play (and I would argue if it was errataed, it is hard to consider that not to be a misprint). True Dungeon also routinely allows errataed tokens to be used, ignoring what is printed on the game element in place of the errata. I am uncertain of Magic's policy on the matter, but I suspect they would allow cards that have a misprinted card front (or even card back if it were sleeved). As for games that allow game elements printed with game information the tournament rules writers (not local judges, but the people in charge of that wonderful tournament rules document) state is not associated with that game element (for a Star Wars Destiny example, a card for Admiral Ackbar that was packaged with a die that has the collector's number for Leia), I cannot think of any such game, but every game that does this is incredibly explicit about what this covers and does not leave it open to interpretation of the intent of this rule. And most of them have very strong product replacement programs in place and/or very high quality control such that the issue is non-existent all-together.
Seeing as ffg is providing a free pack if you receive a misprinted dice (with receipt and picture of dice) and there has been an abundance of information regarding misprinted dice and manufacturing difficulties hold back release and availability of the product, I believe you are safe to assume that misprinted dice are not intentional and will be unusable in any officially sanctioned tournaments.

Yup, this works. As it binds all things says before you play and imperial armory says to play an upgrade, you can exhaust the support while claiming.

Section I-7-a
Unsporting Conduct
Players are expected to behave in a mature and considerate manner and to play within the rules and not abuse them. This prohibits intentionally stalling a game for time, placing components with excessive force, inappropriate behavior, treating an opponent with a lack of courtesy or respect, cheating, etc. Collusion among players to manipulate scoring is expressly forbidden.
The organizer, at his or her sole discretion, may remove players from the tournament for unsporting conduct.
Two things to note. While cheating isn't strictly defined, it is listed as unsportsing conduct. You as the organizer have sole discretion to determine if something is cheating or not and to remove them as you see fit. I would hope you would consider using misprinted dice as cheating.
If you don't, I've got a Han dice with an additional 2r damage side I would love to sell to one of your win at all cost tournament goers! I mean that won't be an unfair, meta breaking advantage at all, right?

Correct, you can't resolve mindprobe that activation. Just like supporting fire, you can only resolve the one die targeted by tuskans ability.

The best explanation I've heard for why this is the case is the shipping issues that this game has been having. Basically, the interest for this game is much higher than expected. FFG use cons, tournaments, and brick and mortar interest for determining how much product they produce. Once prerelease happened, interest for this game skyrocketed to levels that they were not prepared for. When you combine that with the production delays, it makes sense that they would be removing not completely necessary steps in the manufacturing process in order to get out product as quickly and efficiently as possible.
In other words, when you're making large quantities of items in a factory setting, shaving off seconds can save days and weeks in production time. Once supply has caught up with demand, I would expect the original packaging to be reinstated.l but that still remains to be seen

That's 3 packs per 12 players At the start of the event and 6 packs per player after the event. I would assume the expectation is that for Every expected player over a set of twelve, a participating store should order a set e.g. 13-24 players = 2 sets
