Falcon availability

By Guest, in X-Wing

OK first off apologies if this is not the place to ask this. New to the game and forum so if it isn't bear with me for now.

Picked up copy of the game a couple of days ago and have been trying to find a Millenium Falcon model. No one locally has it and every internet site is sold out except for one lot I wouldn't trust to run a raffle.

I found the upcoming section of the site here and saw it's listed red, reprint, in development, Q3 2014. But everything red is either listed as Q3 or Q4.

Anyone know of any info on if it's going to be available at any time soon. Or where such info might be found?

thnx in advance

Try a Barnes and Noble. Every time I go to one I see a Falcon on the shelves.

I had just seen a post about Barnes and Noble never being out of stock. I had just jumped back in to add ...UK based to the post.

But thnx IKKA.

Yeah, no one really knows when they're gonna be in stock again.

The Upcoming page of this site will tell you when restocks will arrive. Until then, it's just a matter of finding a place that isn't sold out yet.

No one may know exactly when they will be instock again but remember that they SHOULD BE at some point so don't go running out and paying twice the retail because "it will never be available again!"

As far as "quarters" go you probably should consider that we currently are in Q3 of this calendar year. The Q4 should be October through December otherwise known as "the Christmas season."

The good news, it WILL be in stock again at some point. FFG has often said nothing is limited print, and they will keep supporting the entire game while it's popular. Well, it's more popular than ever, and a huge portion of their gross revenue, so no worries there. It's just a question of when. B&N has a lot of stock in the US, you may be able to convince a US based player to get one and send it across the pond. Or have a few sent over and sell them at a slight premium to cover your costs (not gouging, just cover costs), so other local players can get some as well.

Cheers guys.

I'll probably just wait.

I thought it might be the case when even the ebay crowd didn't have one at inflated prices.

Having ordered from the states before, it's a 50/50 chance I'll end up paying import duties and handling charges. Sometimes customs and the Post Office hit you for the charges, sometimes they don't. So as it's not a desperate need it tomorrow thing and I want 3 of them, it can wait.

And after reading the forum a bit and before I get jumped on, they are not all for one game. The knives and paint will be coming out.

Thnx for the quick replies. Some place I would wait a week and not get a relevant answer.

I've been hearing about shortages, but I still see one here and there on the shelves. That Amazon is selling them at $60 is pretty hackneyed.

It's not Amazon themselves selling it, it's Amazon Marketplace. They don't set the prices of independent sellers selling through their site. Some of those retailers also have Amazon handle fulfillment, but many don't.

And this other side of this coin, becouse this might take some time. Interceptor went out of stock in Q1 as far as I remember and the reprint is still marked as "in development". I hope FFG will make me a christmas suprise and I will actually see my Soontir Fel this year..

If you look on Amazon UK, the price goes (after currency conversion) from approx $60 to $225 (total optimism)

But that's par for the course. And as Maine says, it's the independent shops. I knew I should have got into this game earlier and wouldn't have to wait:-)

I just saw 6-8 Falcons between two stores this week, one is B&N and the other a FLGS. They are out there if one looks everywhere!

You should be able to find one of you look a bit. I see them everywhere.

They may be there in the states he's in the UK.

You can pre order from sites like gift for geeks they won't take the money until it's despatched, don't give the greedy sellers on Amazon your money.

When I started you could not get interceptors for love nor money, it will get reprinted just hold tight.

In early June I was told by a supplier that they expected to be restocked in August when the FFG boat from China comes in.
