January 8, 2008 (SEATTLE) — WizKids Inc. announces Order 66, the next scheduled release of the Star Wars™ PocketModel™ trading card game (TCG), to arrive in stores March 2008.

Chancellor Palpatine’s treachery has been revealed, and the annihilation of the Jedi rebellion is imminent with the execution of Order 66. Fight the military response with Jedi Starfighters and AT-RTs. Or outnumber the Jedi with Republic Gunships and Clone Speeders. Order 66 has more than 40 PocketModels and 60 cards to collect!

“This is the first Star Wars PocketModel TCG set to offer PocketModel decals,” said Justin Ziran, Star Wars PocketModel TCG brand manager. “The decals will allow players to customize the look of their fleets with faction-specific symbols and striping.”

With the Order 66 release, players will also be able to purchase the Star Wars PocketModel TCG theme deck, Elite Assault. The Elite Assault theme deck will contain a 30-card preconstructed deck, eight exclusive alternate-art PocketModels, a strategy guide, an Order 66 set checklist and one decal sheet.
