OT: I guess we know why we don't have Most Wanted

By benbaxter, in X-Wing

Correct me if I am wrong, but wasnt this http://www.fantasyflightgames.com/edge_news.asp?eidn=5263 supposed to launch after Most Wanted?

If I am wrong feel free to mock me liberally.

If I am not wrong feel free to join me in my ineffectual grumbling.

It's unlikely that Imperial Assault (or Armada) had anything to do with the timing of Wave 6. FFG has a lot of stuff in the pipeline right now, and given the time of year it is, it's probably inevitable that there will be delays.

I'm glad it is out now, this is one game I want for Christmas.

Off off topic, how come you list the HWKs in your ship list for S&V but not the Ywing and Firespray?

Not necessarily. They were announced at the same time, but that doesn't mean that they were at the same point in production. In fact, I suspect that they might've held off on the Imperial Assault announcement due to some fine tuning the agreement with Hasbro and to have something really exciting for Gencon. They likely are using different factories as well.

I don't think it was ever said that Most Wanted would be out before Imperial Assault. Wave 6 may of had an earlier release date, but that doesn't mean anything really.

Plus AFAIK the people making IA have nothing to do with X-Wing.

Because I've already purchased my S&V HWKs (separate from my Rebel HWK). I intend to do some slight paint alteration. I have yet to purchase my S&V Firespray or Y-Wings. Thus, they aren't listed.

That is an excellent point.

I pretty much suspected that wave VI was going to be delayed pretty far back. Hell, I'm expecting April as the launch and I'm still not holding my breath for that either. I love this game, but FFG takes their time in releasing things and they do have a poor habit of creating release dates they can't seem to adhere to. In the meantime I'm waiting for Armada, which I'm more hopeful will come out before wave VI. You know, probably.

We need sarcasm font. o___o

But...but...but.... when they release something it is so nice! You do want it!

It is... precious to you.....

Wave 6 and Imperial Assault were both slated for Q4.

With the delay of Wave 5 and the release of 2 other Star Wars core games, it makes total sense to push out Wave 6. I would imagine this was deliberate.

Cool :)

No preview today it seems either... <_<

I'm more excited about Imperial Assault, I think. I'm just glad they're not all coming out at once (S&V, Imperial Assault, Armada), but one in time for Christmas. None would obviously be pants, but more than one would mean eating Amazon boxes for Christmas dinner.

Anyway, hope Amazon gets it dispatched in time, they're still predicting 7th of January for my pre-order.

My LGS told me today when I picked up my Wave V (Yay Wave V in Australia finally!), that since the Asmodee takeover of FFG all production has slowed... potentially a few teething problems with the corporate merger...
