Is it just me, or has the Raider been "At the Printer" for wayyyyy too long? Like, I feel like it should be on the trucks to stores by now. I know it says it was last updated in march, but they had listed it as on the boat awhile back and changed it back to at the printer - so I'm pretty sure that March date is the last time they "fixed" the error. Feel like it's been at the printer for 3 months.

A friend of mine had a kickstarter being printed at a Chinese Factory that got shut down for the entire month of February - I wonder if this affects FFG printing as well?

can I haz raider nao?

Yeah, in all the rage over FFG picking ships people didn't like everyone kind of missed that the Raider is still somehow at the printer. Hoping they just forgot to update the page but more likely they didn't.

I wonder if Armada is eating into X-wing production?? which is why the raider is taking so long? as they are spooling up Armada instead?

It would be nice to have regionals without new ships dumped into it halfway through. Cleaner data that way.

Actually, I was really hoping for the Tie Advanced fix for Regionals.

I did NOT miss that the Raider is still at the printer - I'm waiting to order it along with Armada from Miniature Market!

I've already pre-ordered since I first could!

I dunno...I just don't have any list I'm excited about lately. I'm just waiting for the Tie Advanced.

I had considered pre-ordering it for my birthday, but I wanted to at least wait until it was "on the boat" before doing so, fearing delays. It looks as though I made the right call (birthday is in june), but I have no idea what to get instead!

Dense structure - much to print.

Exorbitant ressources and material costs.

Slow, atomic-wise printing is a must.

After printing, it must be shipped by the slowst ship available for the same reasons.

Also loading and unloading can only be done by the slowest persons you can think of.

I knew I wanted the Raider and the Advanced fix. I worried if I didn't go ahead and pre-order, I'd spend the cash on something else that I didn't want as much!

Have you ever tried to build a hyper-drive that small?

I still want the Raider (with the Advance fix) and a second Imperial Epic before any S&V

Pleeeeeeeeeeese FFG

I was told at Celebration that some of the elements haven't been finalized yet. Can't comment to the veracity of that statement, but it's what I was told.

And it will sit there for another month because the dock workers are on strike.

Was it the com0pletely senseless solar panels?

They aren't senseless. If it's a long range craft, it needs to recharge somehow.

I suspect it had more to do with play elements than aesthetic elements.

sure

is the ship called the "Ark of the Lost Raiders"?

Hey-yo!

It's been at the printers since the announcement in December. I've never know anything else to be this long in that status.

Heh, some of the LCGs were at the printers for a very long time.

It is a general time line, for the most part. We know the LCG cycles are printed and shipped at the same time, but they are often at different statuses. Most likely, the Raider is finished printing, or had some delays, and is waiting to be put on the boat.

Hey-yo!

Dont' worry, I'm sure FFG has top men working on it right now.

I also remember it being on the boat at one point.

maybe it sank or the container fell off and they needed to make a new batch, but with Chinese new year it got held up.
