I wouldn't be surprised, and it would be awesome as Hell if the FFG gods snuck in some surprise TFA expansion to be revealed soon or sooner (when the FLGS gets wind of it). The timing of the T-70 & TIE/fo expansions gives me hope.
After the Target Core set leak... I think it would be nice to get a real shocker. What do you think?

Sorry about the grammar in title.... 
No not at all, if you look at all the TFA products the coincide with Disney's schedule for the movie. The core set was available on the Force Friday hype day where Disney begins to drum up all the hype a few months before the movie so they can sell out tickets 1 month in advance. The TFA expansion packs come out the same week (and in some stores the same day) as the movie.
Now the fact that all TFA products do not follow the rest of the X-wing schedule, such as announcements a quarter year in advance, previews before the release date, and being released with all other ships of the wave shows that Disney has a heavy hand in this. Will it always be the case for all future X-wing products? I hope not, and I don't think it will be for most of FFG's X-wing products. However for other products that are directly related to an upcoming movie such as Episode 8 for next year I'm afraid we can expect more of this.
I think it would be cool if the new movie ships started to have their own "waves", and were in between regular waves, if only to have moar new xwing ships all the time

Honestly they did a great job with the FO and the T-70, albeit Poe is another OP Ace ship. So I don't really mind Disney having a hand in things. This is the company behind Fantasia. At least Lucas isn't ******* with things.
The only issue is that we still don't have the TIE Avenger and Assault Gunboat.
