Distribution Strategy

By RepCommando, in X-Wing

While I'm sure that this has been discussed to one respect or another, we all know that FFG hasn't quite been able to keep up with demand as the game has progressed. Wave 1 and Wave 2 are pretty much absent from stores these days and so that got me to wondering, do you think that FFG is going to try a restock of one or both of these waves before wave 6 hits or after? I almost wondered if that's why we got the pushback to Q1 2015 instead of Q4 2014. I'm not going to lie, I'd be just as happy finally being able to pick up some of the wave 2 stuff for my collection and snagging the S&V stuff at the end of January-ish.

Thoughts? Comments?

Thanks in advance!

I suspect the Q1 2015 release is to coincide with a restock. The same boat, perhaps. Conjecture, entirely.

Also, my giggle for the day...

LOL!! Wonder how many people will bite on that.

Omg we actually got a restock of those at the store I work at recently or we'd be out of them too XD

Back when I fist started playing I saw amazon listings for y-wing up around $300. Don't know if anyone was crazy enough to buy them, but that is what they were listed at.

Some stores did get partial restocks. (No Falcons though). But firesprays and ints and shuttles.

Also missing A and Y.

My Queendom for a Firespray.

Speaking of the Firespray, I wonder if demand will begin to temper when the new one drops. Also, are there opinions on which will be your preferred version?

Which new firespray?

Most Wanted has cards and dials for a Firespray, but you still have the buy the Imperial Firespray for the model.

Sorry, I meant the pilot cards. Whether people would still prefer the imperial versions or the S&V version. The S&V get Emon though...

As a side note, though, I really did expect to see the paint scheme from Jango's days on the imperial Firespray while we got the Boba-era paint scheme for S&V. Just a thought.

Far and away Scum Firespray pilots are superior. It isn't a close race.

I have been play testing Kath. She's my favourite, but every single scum Firespray pilot will find a home in lists, including the Mandalorian.

But you still need to buy the ship, so it's the same. People who were playing only Rebels and buy into S&V won't get 3 Firesprays, maybe it will even out with the notoriety of the Falcon and sell about the same amount..

Not necessarily. The BH is superior than the Mando, because you can use 3 of them. The uniques come down to preference for the most part. Yes, Scum Kath and Boba are better, but there are options for the Imp versions that can be interesting. And I still can't get Krassis in Scum.
