Rebel Aces On the Boat

By ixdta39, in X-Wing

Hey all, Rebel aces are now on the boat! HUZZAHS are in order

Edit: I was too fast but more items are joining the "On the Boat" status as well

Smells like a Potential GenCon early release.

ON THE BOAT!!!

But, seriously. What does it mean. How slow is that boat?

It means we'll likely see them on the shelves in the second half of August.

KUHRRAIIII.

I was hoping to get them in July

Wave 4 took seven weeks from the time its status changed to "on the boat" to store shelves. If Rebel Aces follows suit it'll probably be in our greedy little hands the first week of September.

So, at three threads a week times seven weeks, I calculate somewhere in the neighborhood of 21 Cubanboy threads ahead of us.

And the Transport and Corvette were on a very speedy boat. We will see. August seems likely.

Or, as we've suspected, they belatedly updated the page after the ships had been on the boat for a while. Six to eight weeks has been the norm, the huge ships an exception. You're right, we'll see.

Sorry working 10-12 hour days

Are these models made in China? Where does the boat come from?

a galaxy far, far away...

The boat has to make many stops all around the world, dropping off boxes down game store chimneys. Some say the boat isn't real, but just a product of our capitalist society.

But I believe!

FFG should invest in a 3D printer. They could just print everything here in the US and save a ton of money.

What Cubanboy doppelganger are you!!

If that would actually save them money, I imagine that that's what they would be doing. I'm pretty sure that the 'printing' that they're doing is not 3d printing. It seems to me that 3d printing is not particularly cost effective on mass production. Then there's the human labor of painting the models, which is where China comes in.

So, I imagine that when they say 'printer' they're referring to the cards; not the models.

But I might be wrong.

So we get PS5 pilot tomorrow?

Can't wait for Farlander and Farrell!

Or the general manufacturing process.

For a moment there, we thought you'd missed it. :lol:

Well we better friggin get a b wing article on Friday or Monday then...

Oh they most certainly are not 3D printing, that would be crazy. 3Dprinting is great for limited run items. This is not one of those items. It would be wicked expensive, and the quality would suffer. Casting is better for volumes and can be higher quality.

I guess id better get around to preordering a third. Gonna be all about the chandraan refits.

Has it been confirmed whether there are 2 or 3 in the box?

I suspect I'll need 6.
