Wave V street date?

By Garrett Lowe, in X-Wing

I don't usually get antsy enough to start threads like this, ships'll come out when they come out, but I want my Decimators so so badly...

Are there any store owners/industry people/whatever on here that can comment on any deliver information on Wave V? Anything at all ... ... ?

and p.s. girls shouldn't play X-wing and I'm leaving the hobby ;)

I pre-ordered wave 5 from my FLGS on Saturday - the owner had just received an email from the UK FFG distributor and shared it with me - the latest word on wave 5 is that it will hit the shelves in the UK in early November.

Wave 6 won't hit until after Christmas

ps - bacon is for girls - real men eat pork belly

it is already early November....

It better be after Christmas, since word is Imperial Assault will be here by then and I can't afford both, plus Christmas!

Pork belly's for kids, grown men eat steak. Blue.

it is already early November....

Yep - so any day now.

My instinct is that if Esdevium are saying in early November that it's going to drop in early November, then they are now pretty certain of its whereabouts. I'm taking that as a big hint that wave 5 has now landed and is off the boat and will be on its way to the distributor / stores very shortly.

But, but, but....... Bacon so good :(

I was going to make one of these posts, good thing I checked, still no info it looks like.

PS: Girls should and can play X-wing with me anytime, and there should be more Ace Girl Pilots

We know that Wave 5 will not release until after Worlds.... So say in the next couple of weeks at the latest? Maybe?

Wave 6 I would not expect to see until Spring of 2015 at best.

Actually,

they only said that Wave 5 will not be legal for the World's Tournement

There was no mention that the release would be after Worlds

I did a calculation based on rebel aces that cam out at about 12th Dec for Wave 5. I basically took the date that it was first reported as being "on the boat" (which you can easily find out with a search of these forums ad check the dates people posted things) and the date it arrived in my usual supplier (Element Games). It came out as a day over 12 weeks. There were a few people had it in the UK a few days earlier, but it was only a rough approximation anyway.

By then looking at when Wave 5 first went "on the boat" and applying the same 12 week timescale it came out at about the 12th Dec for Wave 5. By similar deduction (or is this method technically induction?), as Wave 6 is not yet on the boat, we will probably not see it before 26th Jan here in the UK. As days go by without it being added to the boat, you can keep adding to that date.

Cheerio,

Ben

Unless it's out in the next three days, it's not going to be out before World's...

To be fair I have an alterior motive. I'm running an event in Feb/Mar the needs scum stuff to be available, so I'm quiet panicking for that it's not going to be there in time. If wave 6 isn't on the boat in the next week or so I'll probably have to postpone or rearrange the format dramatically.

They didn't say it wouldn't be out before worlds, but they chose not to make it legal because they couldn't guarantee it would be out long enough before worlds for it to be fair to people that didn't get it gencon

Can they eat bacon with you anytime?

Yep, I realize that, but I was responding to a specific poster whose post implied it could be out before World's.

Yes as long as they share
