Raider - still At the Printer?

By mazz0, in X-Wing

I thought it had gone to On the Boat, did I imagine that? Possibly I got mixed up with people saying their FLGS had told them it was shipping, and suchlike.

Anyway, no spoilers peeps, I've managed to avoid learning anything from the last two articles about it! One thing I would like to know is when I can has it, but hey ho.

I don't think it's gone 'On the Boat' yet. It may of updated that way by mistake though, that seems to happen from time to time. Someone at FFG updates the wrong thing.

That thing has been 'On the boat' for god knows how long.

It'll still be 'On the Boat' by the time Wave 7 is released.

No Spoilers? Why wouldn't you want to know about the Advances Cloaking Engines?

now im starting to wonder if it was simply a QA issue. With Armada wave I delayed, but now finally in our hands it can't simply be shipping delays can it?

My guess is that perhaps the Raiders were unacceptable quality and FFG is having them re-made or re-painted by a different factory.

Still shows At the Printer. Not even on the boat yet.

Everytime someone starts a thread about this, it gets delayed a month. True story. Or maybe not. Best to. It take the chance and not keep starting the same threads again and again.

Deep down we're all masochists, this is why people start talking about delicious food when hungry even though it would be easier to bear that hunger until mealtime if you're focused on something else.

Every time somebody complains about something having been discussed before on a tintermawebs forum a Gungan is added to Force Awakens.

Every time some one quotes another forums to make a point on how wrong that post is, JJ Abrams adds another lenses flare. :P

[tangent emoji] I actually quite like the lens flare. They could even go back and add it to the old films to make it congruous.

That's my pet theory as well.

Well I'd rather they keep the quality high than rush it out.

FFG has X amount of production... and now has BOTH Armada and X-wing stuff to print.. something had to give... that's MY theory!! and since Armada was receiving the BIG push the raider got pushed back....

Good news! I'm pretty sure the Raider will be out by mid June. How can I tell?

Every time I preorder an X-Wing Wave, it arrives from the factory just after I move. _every_. _freaking_. _time_. I usually have to scramble to make sure the preorder arrives at my new home.

My wife and I are putting in a bid on a new condo as I type these words. We're pretty hopeful to get the place. That means we'll be moving in mid/late June. That means the Raider should be here in a few weeks.

YOU'RE WELCOME.

I'm sad it's not out yet as where I play at we're having an Epic League which I was hoping to field one next month.

Well I'd rather they keep the quality high than rush it out.

I'm willing to wait a little longer: I love that FFG are proud of showing off how good the miniatures are for X Wing and the paint job they do for them.

I appreciate it, but man you must move a lot if this has happened multiple times in the lifetime of this game.

What makes you think they are using the same factory and/or supplier for both games? There are lots of factories in China and tons of companies that do this. I don't think armada is having the effect so many would like to think it is...and even if they are the same supplier, you think ffg hasn't learned from the smash hit xwing turned out to be? I am sure they plan xwing and armada separately and have separate factories working on each. Putting both games in the same factory makes no sense and never has...

I on!y do a major preorder about once a year, and... Yeah, we've moved about that often. Once when I got married, then we bought a house, a year later she got a dream job 500 miles from home, so we moved to a temp apartment, then a real apartment, and now we're buying a condo. *grumble*

Things we do for love.

And it's probably bad business to spread around that your manufacturer had a bad batch, hence us all being left in the dark about it.

Well there's no hurry I suppose. Since I'll have to buy Armada Wave 1 this payday, it'd be nice to have another one before the Raider ships.

Are not regional tourneys happening now in the US??

If that's correct then we won't see the raider until after it's done.

If thats true, then we'd be looking at August at the earliest since there are regionals scheduled right up to the very end of July.

Yeah I've given up. I'm going into my flgs tomorrow and cancelling my pre order. Maybe I'll consider preordering if it ever makes the boat but i'm so fed up of waiting for it i'm just going to forget it ever got announced and just carry on with life where epic is rubbish because imperials have no ships and the advanced is just a cool looking desk ornament.
