RAIDER... IN 2 WEEKS?

By Joe Boss Red Seven, in X-Wing

DUNNO... but AMAZON is hollering 2 weeks!

I might only get two.

:lol:

How many you boys buying?

:)

I was looking at wave 7 this morning because of Amazon prime day and it also says 7/31 from a few shippers.

I've played epic once in over a year of playing X-wing. I think 1 will do.

Wouldn't be surprised at all. Pretty sure there's a reason why we've had five weeks of Wave 7 previews in a row...

I want ALL OF THEM..but one will suffice.

I have 2 Tie Advanced still in their blisters waiting for the coming of their savior. It will be a joyful union.

True Dats!

That is funny man... funny!

Toy budget spent for next month... two weeks early, I reckon.

Got mine preordered from lgs already and the 3 advanceds all painted up and ready. Just need the raider for the last advanced and a title and I'm good

I highly doubt 2 weeks. Maybe more like four unless they loaded them on a ship that can do the Kessel Run in under 12 parsecs (equivalent to 4 weeks). And I won't be getting the one I preordered for a while as I got it with Wave 7 and that's still at the printer.

Here's the response I got from my flgs when I enquires if the suppliers had given an eta now that it's on the boat;

Hi Paul,

I ask my supplier from time to time about the X-Wing Raider. The normal reply is "HAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!"

withholding the hype gifs until I see the official announcement (or better yet, a raider on my doorstep)

can't imagine buying more than one, though, unless you're running 8 Advances. Me, I'd rather run 4 advances and 8 ties, so every advance will get its own mini-mauler and mini-stabber

One will do for me. I don't plan to play an epic Empire vs. Empire game and only one is allowed per side, assuming it's 3 epic points.

No, amazon is not saying anything. Funagain games is saying 2 weeks. A 3rd party seller who has no inside information whatsoever and is known for just putting random dates on their pre-orders.

I don't know why I have to keep explaining this.

Hope is a powerful force to be reckoned with.

Well I guess Funagain was our last hope.

No, there is another.

It's not a TIE. Nor does it carry TIEs. So...none?

It does come with a TIE and a sexy title for TIEs though

Raider definitely getting one. Can hardly wait. Wave 7, I'm still on the fence if I want any at all.

Cool Stuff, Inc. is saying July for the Raider and Wave 7.

Does anyone want to sell two tiex cards?

X1s and Palpatine are going to shake things up a bit, I feel.

Would love for this to be true... Not holding my breath yet.

Ha, I am in *exactly* the same situation. I painted the advanced myself so when I get the raider and paint that advanced they will all match. I can't wait to try the 4 tempest squadron build.

Only ze one for me.

Also, I've been giving it a lot of thought lately. Barring seeing them pull some crazy BS in play that I'm just not forseeing right now, I don't think four of advanced's are going to be good. I'm wondering if FFG did four copies of X1 so that you would have your two or three to play with, and have one or two to sell or give away.

Four X1 Advanceds will be putting out some heavy damage, combined with pretty decent dials. I wouldn't write them off.
