Release date of Wave 1 in Canada

By Wildhorn, in Star Wars: Armada

For people living in Canada, Bosco Li (boardgamebliss.com owner) told me that Wave 1 should release on May 15th and that they would be able to get it on the day it is released.

300 year from now, when a mass migration from the US to Canada occurred in the month of May, 2015, researchers will be baffled to discover it was due to ordinary people seeking to acquire the wave 1 release of Star Wars armada....

I doubt, since US are supposed to get their the 12th. While we alway get FFG stuff released Thursday or Friday, just so that we can't get them before next Monday/Tuesday due to no mail service on week-end.

I heard the stars in canada dont go to war, they have long polite roundtables aboit their disagreements over fine beer. If they cant come to an amicable conclusion, they settle it on the ice. Is that not how it goes?

Ya, is pretty close, eh?

Wildhorn, I too also pre-ordered from boardgamebliss! What I'm personally hoping they'd do, mind you, is mail out the expansions a day or two before the scheduled release date so as to arrive on our doorsteps on that day.

Wishful thinking perhaps ;)

I had never even visited that website before - I like it !

infusco: I would suspect they are now allowed to 'release' product until the proper date, even if it's just to mail it, if it's anything like video games and such, but that's just a guess - it -is- a nice thought though :>

I'll probably be ordering through this site too since my FLGS isn't going to carry the product and my other (un)FLGS isn't going to be an option for me.

Have to admit, getting a little concerned about the release dates what with the upcoming page still stuck at On The Boat.

It will arrive soon. At least we know it is already in the US. I am more happy when wave 2 is on the boat...:-)

Hope thoose China workers do work night shifts.....

I too am starting to wonder as to how realistic next week is. More likely week after. Just in time for our first Armada event in my region.

I have heard word that a Canadian distributor is shipping their Armada goods tomorrow. So next week doesn't look unreasonable at all.

Which means Lion Rampant since they have exclusive distribution for FFG in Canada.

My LGS says next week, available in store Thursday by their reckoning.

Hoping this week the shipments arrive as it seems everything takes longer to get across the border.

Want to add to my fleet for the Victoria Day weekend.

So have any of my fellow Canucks heard anything more about shipping dates, etc?

I've now committed to preordering from Boardgamebliss. The estimate I recieved is that they should get it on the release date, which was estimated by them to be at the end of May.

How about everyone else?

It's already in Canada. Lion Rampant showed it in stock last week.

I have heard from two stores (one in Halifax, one local to me in Truro) that it will be in on Thursday, release on Friday.

Espacejeux.tv (online shop based in Montreal) show Wave 1 as avaible right now.

Has anyone got any shipping notices for Canadian stores yet then?

I doubt since the official release is May 15th.

But I heard that Espacejeux.tv might start to ship them May 14th.

Heard from My Local store in Stratford Ont, will be available on friday.

I will be picking mine up at the store on Friday the 15th.

Got my wave 1 today! Hooray for my FLGS in Vancouver! :)

Lucky! I haven't got any shipping notice yet, but I'm sure it'll be soon.

Received all of Wave 1 from my LGS in Kelowna BC today.

And a long weekend dead ahead!
