unOfficial: SW Armada Wave 2 11/24/2015; and no more Newt :(

By Enquiringnewt, in Star Wars: Armada

Hello boys and girls, one and all from the Armada community,

Happy news from FFG: your Star Wars Armada Wave 2 goodies will be available in the US starting Tuesday,November 24th. Get out there and and blow some Rebel scum to bits, or fight the evil oppression of the Empire.

Also, this may very well be my last unofficially official post for product releases; it's been a good run. (Though, I will still poke around in the forums; I love seeing repaints)

To head you off with some answers to some questions I've seen:

I still won't reveal my information sources; let's just say I won't be privy to my sources any longer.

Yes, I'm a dude.

No, I don't work for FFG.

No, I'm not a penguin IRL.

This community has been good fun to communicate with and I'm sad I won't be a source of info for you fine folks any longer.

As always everyone,

Fly safe, good hunting o7

May we ask why?

May we ask why?

It still kinda falls under where my sources are and I don't want to get anybody in trouble. Essentially, my normal information flow is being cut off for reasons outside of my control.

How hard would it be for FF to make a simple statement like this?

and how far would it go to assuaging community impatience. Its so much easier to wait for a specific approximate date than it is to refresh the "upcoming" page 4 times a day with increasing amounts of frustration.

No, I'm not a penguin IRL.

all the best, newt. You're going out with the most important wave, the ISD wave

I bet he doesn't even lift.

Will wave two be released all at once or staggered?

Many thanks newt. Hope to keep seeing you around!

November 24 isn't too far away. Thanks!

Everything all together.

Lol, I don't, bro.

Do any penguins lift?

Thanks Newt, I'll always remember your Bothan Spy network!

Thanks Newt!!

Thanks man... Appreciate you helping us impatient souls through all these releases! Hopefully wave 2 will be the last release that is past its projected timeline :)

Thanks much!

You should stay around and lurk with the rest of us!

Oh man, the wait for wave3 is gonna suck. We are all on the mercy of our overlord FFG.

Thanks Newt. We'll all miss you a lot. Every date has been treated as speculation until you post, and now that's all we'll have.

Thanks again buddy!

Thanks for everything Newt. Sad to see you go though. I feel like it's saying goodbye to a gaming friend.

there will be dark days ahead.....

Thanks for the hard work mum, good to see a Aptenodytes forsteri beening promoted into upper managment. :) Pitty you'll be leaving the front line, where stuff actually gets done. :(

The Imperial Star Destroyer E.Newt will be a tribute to you.

On a side note. It is the day before payday so I am all good with this.

Well, better the loss of the info than you getting into serious trouble newt. Thanks for the info until now and I hope you get a chance to enjoy the new stuff too!

It's a sad day indeed. Regardless though, thank you for your time and your sources they brought much solice in these uncertain times.

Newt was the closest thing we'll probably ever have to an official answer from FFG about their products.

We're going to miss you buddy!

My theory is he got a visit from his future self who told him horror stories about fines imposed for breaking the rules!
