Still on boat?

By JediJF, in Star Wars: Armada

So if the core set is available next week. How come it's still showing on boat? The Imperial Assault will be available this week and they have been showing under the shipping status for a week.

Hopefully it's an error and it will be available next week but now I'm having doubts.

Maybe the boat delivers directly to the store...

I believe that they said that it would be shipping next week, so it's probably 2-3 weeks out still.

The article says the core set will be with retailers next week, so I would suggest their upcoming page is just wrong. I have seen ffg products I have been holding in my hand as still marked as available soon or on the boat.

Again, who said the upcomupcoming page is updated regularily? FFG probablly has bigger worries than a page that essentially does nothing.

According to the update page, products will be "on the boat" until the last shipment is received at their warehouse in Minnesota. This means it will be "on the boat" while it sits in customs and even on the freight train and in delivery trucks long after it is actually offloaded from the cargo ship.

Once the shipment actually clears customs, they should have a much better idea how long until the stores have the products. Which is probably what happened on Monday morning (or over the weekend).

And shipping containers are likely spread across multiple boats.
