the B-wing reprint hit the boat well after the wave 4 ships did, and the B-wing is now shipping and wave 4 still on the boat........

Difficult to see the wave 4 ships are. Meditate on this I will.

Well since FFG doesn't have a "Sitting in a warehouse waiting for a release date we were shooting for" option on thier upcoming page I'd say they will just leave it as "On the boat" until they actually start shipping them to retailers. The re-prints I doubt have any kind of secret release date they were wanting to have them out by thus why they are already shipping to retailers.

I think the wave 4 is expected to final days of June, and B-wing is middle, so I think it doesn't have problems yet, greettings

It goes like this... What's the point of shelving a Bwing when wave four ships are out same time? Are you going to spend time buying that Bwing or an Ewing, defender etc...

B-wing reprint will be a smaller order. It is a filler order. Wave 4 is four ship types for 4 times as big, and more so with the Z-95 needing double numbers to hit stores or else they will be sold out.

Why doesn't FFG have a release date? They know when the new ships are going to arrive roughly.

Under production of items keps sales and demand hot. So sure sprikle some into the market and keep demand going.

The rough idea they have about ships is very very rough. Between varying production times (likely made worse by the painting of them), varying shipping times from factory to US, and the massive variance in time to clear customs and then get shipped to their warehouse, it is supremely hard to predict product arrivals. Even if they were to guess, one snag in customs could take a week or even longer to fix, disrupting the whole thing, and leading to disappointment and outrage.

They do, the date for Release is Q2. They don't give a specific date because they have not been able to run to so precise a schedule. They do give an exact release date but only about a week before they actually get released. That being said, you can roughly guess give or take two weeks when they will come out by when they change to being on the boat. I suspect that we will see them released in the last half of this month. Rebel Aces will follow either next month or in August most likely.

I am happy with this. Gives those who won the wave 4 ships some shine. Sorry but it allows them to play the ships somewhqt before they hit the market.

i also find it strange we have not heard of anything beyond wave 4 or rebel aces.

they usually seem to have us drooling over more stuff.

im not saying i have the cash to keep up with releases at the rate they are coming, well i could if i dint buy 4 of each ship minimum.

but it would really be cool to see an imp epic ship coming down the line, and all i have to say is, hey they started it with the rebel ships we have now. they opened that door and now the demand is there for an imp ship.

But they don't know how long it will take to clear customs.

Many shipping containers are lost at sea. Maybe they used to be on the boat.

To bad that we who won ships can't use them in official events until the ships are released.

Which is why I will be making the Phantom I won personalized. It's the first ship I won, and in becoming that it was made extra special.

i will never repaint my ships, some 6 year old in China painted my ships so i think of it like my kids artwork, its going on the fridge.

I am torn. Part of me wants to like this, but part of me just feels so wrong for doing so.

Patience, younglings.

I am going to be painting one of my Phantoms (probably the one I use for Echo) red and refering to him as "The Red Comet" (Gundam fan ).

Phantoms do go three times faster don't they?

And have a hell of a racing drift going on. Was tempted to do a fast and the furious paint scheme on one.

"younglings"

That word is the number one thing I hate most about the prequels.

...and the list is pretty long!
