Seems like Wave II street date is 11/20/2015

By JediJF, in Star Wars: Armada

Yeah frustrating a loyal player base is never a great idea, but from what I heard it was due to "Unavoidable manufacturing delays", in other words it was most definitely not planned this way. I have worked in manufacturing before and I know that sometimes s*** happens, like you can design: all good, prototype: all good, produce tooling: all good, hit GO: "OMFG huge problem we didn't foresee shut it down omfg"

I think where they are falling down is in the communications department, unavoidable manufacturing delays are unavoidable but no updates to your fan base is CERTAINLY avoidable and might be where the frustration arises.

I just hope wave 3 wont take as long. Im still surprised they havent announced a slew of ep7+ ships.They really would miss a great marketing opportunity if they dont have ep7 stuff when the movie hits. Probably already too late, unless they announce soon.

If wave 3 is episode 7 ships (which seems like a reasonable guess) I would imagine they'd announce it after episode 7 begins screening (within a week of opening night, I'd imagine) rather than beforehand.

true, I mean, they could easily release a fighter pack with the new ties and x-wings and/or any special characters from the film.

but tbh there is still SOOO much they can release that is already existing in some form in the SW universe and easier to balance into the meta.

I'm sure they are already pretty deep into the pre-production of wave 3

I always assumed Canadians wrote the date the sensible way we do in Britain. I'm disappointed :(

As an Australian Living in Canada, I can say, Most of the time they do... But being Polite Canadians, they often automatically translate for those Down South.

US distributors have them already. FFG, please let them release them!

Say whaaaaaaa?

C'MON black friday sales!!! (Yeah right)

Was hoping for sooner, but I guess you can't rush firepower of that magnitude!

Well, we could....... IF YOU WOULD QUIT DODGING!!!!!!!

Are you for serious? Because if you are for serious I need to plan a trip to the US soon.

Just checked my local Canadian distributors website, not available from them yet.

In Upcoming, only 3 items are listed as 'shipping' before the 'on the boat' items, sooo it's definitely getting closer ;)

I hope they give us a chance to play with the new stuff before showing us new shinies. And said shinies should NOT take as long to roll out once shown. This might have been a good time for them to pop out some items that take less lead time. Like a card pack.....

If they were with the distributors then FFG would let them release them. There's no reason at all for them to hold it back at this point.

Amazon.com says that Home One will be available on Nov 23...

Amazon.co.uk says 1-3 months availability :)

I agree the lack of communication from FFG is scary. And hurts the game. Going to guess we wont see a wave three till april at the soonest.

I think I would be good with one every 41/2 months.

Without paint, I don't think you'd be able to tell the new TIEs from the old at Armada size (though new cards, of course). Come to think of it, I wonder how neat they'll be able to make the wings on the T70s at that size.

I wouldn't be shocked if it turns out they do have some Force Awakens stuff on the way (maybe at the same stage as Wave 2) and they just want to surprise us with it!

Ah, that is very considerate of them!

Canada is basically the USA's very polite hat. We appreciate your consideration, Canucks. Sorry about the whole War of 1812 thing. We got a little overexcited.

The Canadian who read this over my shoulder said, and I quote: "That's okay... We won, anyway. Nice White House, by the Way."

As an American let me tell you that I have no idea what we're doing with our date structure.

Your Canadian is correct. The whole thing was a mess in just about every way.

Join the military. We use the metric system and write dates in a sensible format. Not sure what the hell is wrong with the rest of you fat, lazy, A.D.D. civilians =)

There's so much wrong with me I don't know where to begin. ;)

Distributors have been complaining that they have them but can't release them. Not that it means we will get it anytime soon. That's just their response when asked for a ship date. Shrug
