Twin Shadows street date?

By Shabigity, in Star Wars: Imperial Assault

Yep just got that email too - bit of a bummer for us consumers, but I feel for Chaos Cards - and fairplay to them for splitting the shipments at cost to themselves.

Hi ,

Thank you for your recent order for the Wave 2 Imperial Assault expansions placed on blah blah

Firstly I would like to thank you for placing a Pre order with Chaos Cards. However I am afraid to say that we have had some bad news from the official Fantasy Flight Games distributor.

It would seem that Esdevium has put a quota on the Twin Shadows and Boba Fett expansions. All UK retailers have been limited to just 6 of each. Before I go on I need to stress that there are no limitations on the other lines in this wave, and the pre orders for these will be met as per our normal policies.

In the case of the Twin Shadows and Boba Fett expansions we do have another shipment arriving next week, which will allow us to fulfil our pre order commitments.

Therefore what we are proposing to do is send out to the first 6 customers who placed an order with Twin Shadows or the Boba Fett expansion. If you ordered 2 or more of these then you will receive one, to make sure that 6 different customers get something. All other orders will be fulfilled as soon as our alternate supply arrives.

All other orders will be split and the available items will be sent, with the missing expansion dispatched at our expense as soon as they arrive.

We are truly sorry for this, and the frustration and inconvenience it will cause. We are fully aware that you have been waiting for sometime for the release and we share your frustration. Please be aware that all retailers that are supplied by Esdevium will have had their orders limited and as such will have similar issues.

If you wish to cancel your pre order, we will of course do so immediately at your request.

Once again we hope you will accept our deepest apologies and understand the difficult position we have been put in.

Thank you,
Chaos Cards

Yeah, got the mail too. I've never dealt with these guys before but they are clearly very good at the customer service thing. I'm almost certainly not in the first six but at least we'll get droids and kayn soon.

Yeah I really rate them. Large range, free shipping from £20, same day dispatch on orders before 2pm. Excellent.

At least we get the droids!

Yep, heard the same from my flgs. They have stock today, but not as much as they ordered, a lot stuck on a dockside somewhere and to follow.. somewhen.

Well DragonCon is 2 weeks away and there is a mountain of new stock for X-wing dropping this month (my primary game). Because of that, I can't swing Twin Shadows quite yet, but I did get to snag Boba and the droids last night at the LGS during our X-wing league. Quite excited to bring them to the table.

For anyone in the UK looking to get your hands on Twin Shadows, Red Dice Games has one left in stock as well as the new packs.

My FLGS are getting the Ally/Villain packs today and have set some aside for me. Yay!

They can't get Twin Shadows at all yet. Apparently even the (comparative) mega-retailers like Wayland only got six, and my FLGS didn't get any. Oh well... I guess a bit more patience.

This morning Amazon had everything (the box and the 3 figure expansions) in stock. I ordered them, chose the fastest shipment option.....and according to my profile they're preparing the items for shipment now.

It looks like I was quick enough; both the box and Fett are not in stock at amazon anymore now. (7 hours after I placed my order)

Hope mine well ship and arrive soon!

Nothing yet in Ontario it seems :(

My order from MM came today. Keep your chin up, all!

I was one of the 'lucky 6' and received it all from Chaoscards yesterday morning.

I got it all yesterday. The theme is very strong with this expansion.

4 days later: the whole funky bunch arrived today!

(Not that it matters, but I think I'm one of the first in Europe?)

Hope everyone gets theirs soon!

My shop got 2 Boxes yesterday... i arrived at 1 p.m., but both were already sold... same in the other FFG store in town...

Chaos Cards have shipped out their remaining orders for Twin Shadows and Boba Fett today. Or at least, they shipped mine.

Shipped mine too, just came here to announce it but you beat me to it. They're out of a stock again though, so I guess some people might still be waiting.

Played the first mission with a couple of mates over the weekend, was hoping get through a couple of them but forgot how slow one of my mates can play.

So far its a lot of fun and the new units are great.

My FLGS says thet will be in store next week in Denmark

Mine had been on hold for me since last week at my FLGS, and I picked it up Tuesday afternoon. I finally got the chance to open everything this morning while drinking my coffee and watching the news, before heading off to the office.

I'm really digging everything, except not having an additional regular Heavy Trooper and Tusken Raider card for skirmish...
