February release maybe?

By Bipolar Potter, in Star Wars: Armada

Looking at the news page, it's been 2 per month (excluding tournament kits that all games got a press release), so we know rebels will probably be in 2 weeks time, then maybe one or two more if late February is still accurate :)

Current pattern has been a preview every 3 weeks exactly (checked the dates on the last 3 articles). So I'd expect something on the 6th-7th

Then maybe the game releases on the 27th (3 weeks later). Cross your fingers, folks!

My money is on late March-early April release.

My money is with these guys being bought out and no longer having production fulfillment issues. I don't think a major game company will stand for people having to wait so long to have to buy something they are holding money for. If this released tomorrow it would sell out. Wait till April you may have lost some people.

Could you explain that a bit further?

Is there a reason people would have a bump of money right now rather than in April? If anything, I expect people would have that bump in late April/early May after they get their tax returns, rather than now when they're recovering from having to spend at Christmas.

I do hope that the merger with/buyout by Asmodee will mean more leverage with the 'printers', but I don't imagine anything in the logistics would have changed this soon.

I just received an email from Barnes & Noble stating that shopping date for my core set is 28 March.

That's optimistic. I wouldn't stake anything on it, though.

First quarter of 2015 means no later than march so 28th is realistic.

If Armada makes it on the boat within the next 10 days, I would believe that date. However we get into the first week of February and it's not on the boat by then we won't see it until mid April due to Chinese New Year.

So let me get this straight, during the Chinese New Year everything just stops for weeks at a time? That doesn't sound good for business.

Better for business than trying to have these models painted by children in Luxembourg or Dubai.

It's too hot in Dubai for paint, it just evaporates. Honestly, don't you read?
