Knew it. Star Wars X-wing news releases on tuesdays and thursdays unless it’s a shipping announcement usually. Although we’ve been shunted to Friday’s for the time being it seems.

Shipping announcements (for all FFG products) are Thursdays. There's no fixed day for articles.

Tell that to the clearly established patterns of releases. And GFH shipping article came out on Friday. X-wing stuff always releases on Fridays.

*Shrug* feel free to check. I know how it typically works.

It's Tuesday. You know what that means...

Disappointment?

The same thing as every Tuesday? We try to take over the world?

Armada got an article Monday. First in months. That throws a wrench into Star Wars on Tuesday’s and Friday’s as someone mentioned before (but I cannot quote)

For the record on that:

recent preview articles and release announcements:

22 Nov: Res Bomber. Wednesday

10 Nov: Sheathipede. Friday

3 Nov: Kimo. Friday

26 Oct: G4H release article. Thursday.

20 Oct: Gunboat. Friday

8 Sept: Silencer/Bomber announcement. Friday

21 August: Gunboat/Kimo/Sheath announcement: Monday

15 August: Vaksai. Tuesday

24 July: SVMk2. Monday

13 July: Wave 11 release article. Thursday

16 June: Scurrg. Friday

9 June: Auzituck. Friday

8 June: C-ROC release article. Thursday

30 May: G4H announcement. Tuesday

22 May: Aggressor. Monday.

That tackes us back to the first wave 11 previews. There's no pattern to any of the days the articles are published, except that release announcements are ALWAYS Thursdays unless a public holiday in the US causes them to be delayed, and, in general if a set of articles are released close together, they'll be on the same day a week apart, and if anythign there's a SLIGHT trend towards X wing previews and new product announcements coming on Fridays.

So best guess is Silencer tomorrow - but I suspect we'll get it on Friday, unless Spikey Bits spoils it early - I suspect the intention was to publish the Res Bomber on Friday, but they pulled the trigger early because someone spoiled it.

I was bored.

This made it for me.

I'm curious why SpikeyBits did the two Rebel ships and then the Gunboat and Kimo together. Maybe we'll see the Silencer and the unannounced SKU together? Assuming it is a Last Jedi ship. If so, wonder when the wraps come off.

I'd be surprised if the unannounced SKU has been sent out to reviewers, given that reviewers spoiling stuff is pretty common at this point, but it's always possible, I suppose.

Indeed, if the unannounced SKU is for release with this wave, I'm surprised we've not had leaks of what it is yet - we're getting to the point where the bigger stores will have received their stock already.

I expect unannounced SKU is probably being saved for either a pre-holidays announcement (Christmas Eve article etc), or is linked to The Last Jedi and will be announced once the film is released. Either way, I don't see it being actually released any time soon.

There are only 3 possibible scenarios for a missing SKU in my book:

- (Obvious): it's linked to the movie in a big way, so they can't even talk about it because they must keep the pilots secret

- It's a different format; huge? In which case, it's a different production line.

- Something happened during design time that caused a delay. Maybe a problem with the miniature or something was detected balance wise.

Those are my guesses.

My suspicion is that it's a huge ship related to TLJ, for release as the next ace/huge cycle, probably the ship belonging to Benicio Del Toro's character.

What if it's an Imperial ship, and that's why Spikey Bits is saving the Silencer?
