How fast will Wave 4 sell out?

By Crabbok, in X-Wing

So normally when my FLGS gets a wave of stuff, between pre-orders and 1st week pick-ups, it ends up selling about 80-90% of the inventory right away. I think it depends on HOW MANY of a ship people need.

The Tantive IV is still in stock - because not everyone needs one, and nobody really needs more than one unless they are collecting multiples (IE the special crew are all unique, so there really is no benefit to having 2).

Imperial Aces had a few left on the shelf - some bought 2, some bought only 1.

Rebel transport sold out instantly - since some decided to get 2, this was gone quickly.

I'm expecting the Z-95 to be the first to sell out, with the E-Wing to be the last one left in stock. Phantoms will sell out fairly quick, and defenders will probably only sell out 3rd due to the upgrade cards IMO. But I'd say Z-95's will easily be gone 1st week.

That concludes my predictions.

Unofficial I heard mm had over 10,000 ships they were sending out and still had supply. I think we should be good for a while.

oh dude, everything is already sold out--you didn't know your LGS was taking preorders?

I preordered 2 of everything already but in theory I'd like to eventually have 4 phantoms and 5 or 6 Z-95s.... maybe another defender or two depending on squad build ideas.

UK players are nuts for the Phantom, and surprisingly not so for the Z.

That said, I don't think the order changes much; I would say that the Phantom will go first, followed by a tie between the Defender and Z-95, with the E-Wing staying on the shelves a little longer (possibly not even going out of stock in most LGS, to be honest!)

I reckon the Z-95 will sell out first, simply because people are more likely to buy multiples of this ship for Rebel swarms.

Our FLGS has already sold out all stock through pre-orders

I think the E wing will sell well, advanced sensors, r7, outmanouver etc. I'd like a couple of copies of r7.

I assume he meant the R7 astromech which allows for a TL to be spend to force a reroll? Pretty sure in looking at that card that one isn't unique.

Ya that R7 is pretty sweet

Have it in both Tarn and biggs

If any one who bought multiple transports would consider selling their unique cards and pilot, can you send me a message?

I think he means the "R7 Astromech". I'm not sure if it's non-unique, however.

Ah ok guys my bad. Yeah that is a nice astromech indeed.

I plan on at least two e-wings. It's a chance to get two advanced sensors without having to buy two shuttles.

At my FLGS, after filling preorders where some people didn't get everything they ordered, They'll have exactly 1 E-Wing and 2 Z-95s for sale. The girl that filled the preorders said she actually had to look at the time on the receipts to fill out the orders in the order they were made.

Went to Team Covenant tonight and they are down to a bunch of ewings. Everything else sold in the first hour. It was brutal fast. If it wasn't preordered or bought by 4 you were out of luck.

I'm sure Barnes & Noble will have plenty of Wave 4 if all else fails.

I just hope they have learned to have sufficient stock of the new ships....it's frustrating to try and get new players into the game and go "well it's out of stock and ent knw when new stock will arrive"

The place I order from, Gameslore, Has only Z-95 remaining, I think they expected it will sell in multiples and acquired more.

Stupily fast on the empire side. Not so much for the E-wing. Headhunters will do well though. That's my two cents.

On a side note, I wonder if its sometimes a bit scary to work at a place like MM and be faced with... you know... us :P

That really depends on the number of prints per ship. If they print the same number of ships for each of the 4, Z-95's will sell out first as there is more of a need to buy multiples. The Phantoms will not be far behind them as they seem to be the popular pick. My guess is the initial shipment will go very fast possible gone by the end of next week. Hopefully FFG has learned from past experiences and have another boat in the water to keep the supply chain running. I think there will be a restock on shelves by mid July and that will last. Of course this is just speculation.

What is going to suck, is if you didn't pre-order, and are planning on doing a tournament soon - and you can't get wave 4 stuff, yet most other people there DO have wave 4. Gonna feel bad.

The Headhunter has being a cheap ship pointswise going for it so people buy more of them.
