I hate to be that guy but... Wave 2 release.

By rowdyoctopus, in Star Wars: Armada

Wave 2 isn't even at the printer yet. I would rule out a July release completely at this point.

I'm not surprised, and I know July was never official. It was just the only indication we got from our good officially unofficial friend so far. I believe he tends to be more accurate closer to actual release :D

Wave 2 will be released when it's released. My wallet can certainly wait, even if I want it here sooner rather than later.

"Help us Enquiringnewt your our only hope."

Oh I know that. I'm not worried. This was mostly just a heads up to anyone that was holding out hope for July still.

Probably have a container expressed shipped for gencon and then it'll hit the rest of us a month later. That seems to happen a lot with FFG.

Exactly

I find the lack of articles for wave 2... disturbing.

Seriously though, the raider still hasn't released. The ports must be much more f**** than any of us realize.

I don't think that this has anything to do with the ports. The Upcoming page shows that the (X-Wing) Raider is still at the printer.

I think FFG is having issues with their partners in China. A number of items have been backing up at the Printer.

Could be as simple as the ships that would have been carrying the goods from China are still waiting to be unloaded on the US coast.

Then the status would be "On the Boat"

It's also possible they are not updating the upcoming page. The way they do update it seems haphazzard at best. The last time anything from Wave 2 was updated was April 9. I find it a little hard to believe Wave 2 is still "in development" after all this time. Especailly considering how long they were probaby in development before they ever let us know about them.

I don't think they wont make July either. Probubly. But I just dont think the upcoming page is anywhere near trustworthy.

Nay, the correct status would be sitting at the printers waiting for a boat.

;)

I started playing x-wing in 2013, I have followed many of waves being at the printer and shipped. In fact I have had to tone back my comments because most of the time that was all I talked about, so let me give you some insight into the matter.

Wave 2 will not be out until the 3rd quarter which means September maybe August if we are lucky just guessing this is the time table.

Development is about 1-2 months

At printer is about 1-2 months

On boat is about 6-8 weeks (if there is another west coast labor strike is going to be longer)

Moving to FFG warehouse is 4-7 days

Shipping to retailer is 4-7 days

** if you buy online retailer to house is another couple of days**

Sept is my healthy guess for the ships based on past experience.

Last edit" per news page https://www.fantasyflightgames.com/en/news/2015/4/6/here-they-come/

"The five expansion packs of Armada Wave II are scheduled to arrive in the third quarter of 2015!"

FFG never has anything at the beginning of the quarter it's always the end.

I really hope it isn't available before the world championships

I should add also they might have wave 2 early for some big events (Gencon) but if you don't buy from there your waiting like the rest of us.

They are updating the page. Things updated within the last week, just nothing related to Armada.

In Development is a generic catch all for anything that is not a reprint and has not actually gone to print yet. It doesn't necessarily mean they are still actively working on the products.

The actual status is not a real indicator of anything. FFG has LCG packs labeled at the printer that are sitting in thier warehouse.

I don't mind the wait. That means more savings. More savings equates to bigger and more purchases.

>_> I'm looking at you MC30 and ISD.

I can deal with the wait but man I want some spoilers!

September.

Seriously, if you hate being that guy... why start this post when there are 5 others along the same lines?

Haven't seen if this has been said already, but there was also that strike a few months back. Probably caused a lot of wide-spread delays.

I check this board daily and haven't seen one.

Wave 1 is just out (and selling well in my part of the world).

Why would they want to release wave 2 so quickly?

Doesn't make sense. July was never a possible release date.
