Any concrete idea of when Wave 5 and Wave 6 will come out?

By gundamv, in X-Wing

I know that Wave 5 is supposed to come out Q3, 2014 and Wave 6 is supposed to come out one or two quarters after that, but does anyone have any idea as to the month and year the two Waves will come out?

(I count Rebel Aces as part of Wave 5. By "come out," I mean being generally available in stores, whether online or FLGS; being available at a convention doesn't count.)

I think we will see wave 5 next month probably, and I think I heard before the end of the year for wave 6

september for aces, but I doubt wave 5 gets here before october.

The folks that were able to buy wave 5 at GenCon are going to be enjoying those ships for a long time before anyone else--I'm quite surprised they were selling it, since no one else will be able to buy it for literally months.

I think I saw somewhere 6 would be available by the end of the year

In terms of the Wave 5 ships, have they actually stated the “Release Date” that is to say the date that the ships are legal for tournament play. This is how the new Tournament rules dictate when you can use your ships and if they have said a date it will tell us when they are likely to hit shelves.

If not it would be a little annoying for those who have managed to get them to no know how long they will have to wait to use them in tournaments.

Though of course I'm sure they are just happy enough to have them as oppose to the rest of us that live on the other side of the world.

Read somewhere that Wave 5 is due in October.

At the in-flight presentation the CEO said that wave 5 will not be available at FLGS's until October.

During the FFG panel at GenCon they stayed that Wave 5 will ship in October and that Wave 6 by the end of the year.

EDIT: meh. ^

Is it just me that's a tiny bit happy wave 5 hits a month later than aces? My wallet is suffering badly at the moment :)

YUP like Sept 30'ish Oct 15'ish!

It would seem the Rebel Aces is going to get to us mid Sept while wave 5 is Oct. Wave 6 is slated for by the end of the year, but I wouldn't get your hopes up and expect it sometime in Jan.

This stuff is good to hear. Can get Aces when it is out and my Decimator at Gaelcon at the end of October. The entire S&V faction can then come from Santa :P

I must admit it kinda annoying that we know they have had stock made for Gencon but the rest of us have to wait 2 months to get wave 5? I suppose we have waited 5 months for rebel aces but still.

A local retailer told me at the end of August Aces will come out. As for Wave 5 I heard late October.

WHERE ARE MY REBEL ACES ?!?!?!?!

WHERE IS THIS **** BOAT ?!?!?!

I can't see Aces coming out before the first week of September, sorry to be a party pooper. Wave 5 will most likely be the first week of November, because whenever someone says October I have my doubts, too many factors that cause delays. Wave 6 "should" be released before Christmas, but wouldn't be surprised if it ships after, yup with shipping delays and holiday breaks, I bet first week in January.
