Rebel Aces Guess "off boat this week"

By Cubanboy, in X-Wing

... i wish FFG was a bit more precise with the indications of release dates and upcoming status...

FFG is very precise with their release dates. Just about everything so far has been pretty much hit stores about 2 months after going on the boat. The Transport was the only one that was way off, and that was early.

Now their estimates of Late Q2 or something those tend to be off, but those are pretty broad guestamaates and shouldn't be taken very seriously.

so the product is already ready !!! ... what are we waiting ??

Enough product to sell at GenCon was ready, that doesn't mean they have enough to cover the orders they're getting for stuff. Also Rebel Aces was already on it's way here when GenCon happened, not like they could get that boat to go faster.

Do you really think so ?? The indication of "Q3" is just a way to be less accurate as possible !! It's ok when you announce the product, but after 2-3-4-5 months...

Wanna be precise ? Write SEPTEMBER!

Also, if FFG has decided to bring some stuff at GenCon, at least now they know when Rebel Aces will be exactly release...

FFG is doing a great work, but the wait is EXCRUCIATING !!! Please, let us know a little more about all the releases !!!!!

I think the problem isn't the wait, but the uncertainty. I know I'm frustrated by the confusion about when Wave 5 and Rebel Aces arrives - but I also looked at the numbers someone posted, and FFG has released a staggering amount of product this year compared to the last two years. So, for me, it's not that we're not getting stuff, it's that we can't plan when we can get it and start using it.

So as we grow closure to having them in hand it appears that this week, is week 6 since they were shipped. My guess is this Thursday they will be off the boat and by Sept 18th we will have them in hand. So 24 days to go.

I haven't seen a "where are they?" thread from you for so long I was beginning to think something had happened to you. Like the anticipation got too much, and you exploded or something. ;)
I have a mentor that told me the following,

"Don't let life get in the way of living."

This has happened a lot, I have been super busy with work and home life, posting on the forum is a last thought most days. I woke up super early this morning so I had some time to respond. Also Parravon what is the current fleet never heard what ships you ended up with.

Ps thanks for caring about my head not exploding

Just updated my signature. So there's the fleet. I'm going to grab a HWK-290 from our local store this week some time and I'm probably going to get the Most Wanted pack when it finally comes out as that should give me a good selection of options.
