Expecting Gama Trade Show Announcement?

By Killerardvark, in X-Wing

What the heck are they going to be talking about for an hour?

Star Wars Love Letter

DARN YOU ARMADA!!!!!!!!! )

I like to thing the people in charge of releasing news are sitting back watching this thread laughing to themselves.

Once our anticipation finally dies down and we give up hope, then we'll get our news.

So after everyone gets into new games? That sounds unwise?

I find their lack of news... disturbing

As long as they're other FFG games :)

I was honestly expecting wave 7 today. But it's possible they don't have it in a place where they're ready to announce it yet. Everything they do for X-Wing has to be LFL approved, and there maybe a holdup on some part of wave 7.

But honestly, I'm still working my way through Wave 6, learning all the tricks and pilots and such for it. So if I don't hear anything about Wave 7 for a month or so yet, that wouldn't bother me in the least.

I guess ffg doesn't love us anymore :'(

There's a lot of Star Wars getting released. A ton. Maybe even too much.

Actually, it would've been surprising for X-Wing Wave 7 to be announced. And it certainly would draw attention away from Imperial Assault and Armada Wave 2. And not give these 2 titles time to take root.

Wave 7 is done, wave 8 is close to done, according to Alex Davy

What are you guys following? The twitter links in this forum aren't revealing anything, unless I missed one.

FFG said they'll have Force Awakening products, but they aren't naming them today. Blegh.

I wonder if that means wave 7 is episode 7?

If that's the case, obviously they aren't going to be able to announce anything about it until mid-summer or so, when the first announcements around toys and other products supporting the movie's release will start appearing.

Would make wave 7 the biggest wave for them, yet, but also means they have to sit on it for a while (probably a good idea given how late most waves have arrived and the importance that such a wave MUST arrive in the market before/simultaneous with the movie).

Maybe they'll close out the seminar with x wing ships. Fingers crossed!

x-wing sales by market:

87% - Hobby Market

8% - Barnes and Noble

5% - Amazon

Yeah, but what percentage of that is CoolStuffInc, Miniature Market, and other "mostly online" hobby retailers.

Coolstuff and Mini Market have to be at least 60% of that 87% figure

We could see a Wave 7 announcement along with the new episode 7 trailer. That should hit around May. But **** I was hoping to get at least a crumb to nibble on.

1-2 hours for a Armada game! Wow this is going to make those tournaments really long!

Here are some rehosted (on Imgur) photos from Twitter today:

Imperial Raider adds lots to epic format. Special formats for epic play? TIE advanced upgrades as well :)

Addressing supply. Their factories have good working conditions and they do not want to sacrifice quality.

New factories on board and increased efficientcy leads to this. Though new product means old stuff gets made less

Millions of ships have been sold since Xwing release. Great to see @FFGames and @FFGOP support the retailers so much

Charts and graphs, no care. I want ships damnit!

Surprised to have no new product announcements, or even a further update on the Raider. Maybe they're trying to slow down the rate of X-Wing stuff so they can keep players focused on Armada's launch?

I think what you mean to say is more along the lines of "Charts and graphs do not concern me, Danthrax, I want those ships."

Strange how they devote an entire hour to Star Wars without a single new product announcement. Eh, I still don't have all of Wave 6 so honestly I'm good. If they don't announce anything until the Raider drops I'd be perfectly fine. Wave 4-6 all happened so fast it felt like...
