So wave 8 is one the boat at long last which means I should be able to fly the ghost in about 6 weeks~ish. I am excited about that but am also ibtrigued by what will come next. Based on the last few years of releases, will we not see anything wave 9 until that is fully released?

Yes.

See, instead of ETA I read it as Eta, as in Eta-2 Actis.

You got me all excited, OP..!

I would buy that for (considerably more than) a dollar.

I'd be happy to not see or hear anything for new releases until we've got Wave 8 on the tables. In the past, the new wave gets announced before the in-transit wave ships and all the talk just ends up about the newly-announced wave. It ends up making the stuff that's hitting the tables seem anti-climactic.

Probably March at the earliest.

Yes, although you're presupposing the next thing after Wave 8 is Wave 9. Given the announcement of "Imperial Veterans" last week, it wouldn't surprise me if we hear about another Veterans pack and/or Scum Epic before Wave 9. But hey, what do I know.

About the same time they shut down online sales of x wing apparently.

Historically haven't most waves been announced before next one is out. Of course we just got Imperial Veterans announcement so maybe that counts. I'm surprised not to see wave 9 and wave 3 Armada announcements now that the movie is out.

Honestly with Wave 7 and the episode 7 ships and the Gozanti soon/now I'm fine with not seeing wave 8 for a while. I have enough new ships to play with.

I just hope they announce an X-wing Aces pack with T-65 and T-70 repaints, including Poe's black/orange livery, before too many more people go to all the effort of painting their own. Like me. I'm sorely tempted but I would just ruin a good model.

Call it' X-Wing Generations' and you're good to go

Edit: Alternatively, make it a square dish falcon with Rey and Finn pilots/crew and chuck in Poe's black X-wing too

I think Rey's ability flying the falcon would be to do a zero red maneuver. To simulate when she stalled the falcon to give Finn that shot on the tie fighter.

hmm hopefully wave 8 is on the same boat that they used to ship the T-70/FO tie on. In that case it should be here like next Monday!! lol

I hope it's not for awhile

Let us enjoy the stuff that's not even out yet and get to use our new stuff

Too much too soon

And then people complain about lack of previews. It's pretty normal for them to release previews of the next wave ahead of the latest release. I would not be surprised to see an announcement soon. And a wave 8 preview this week for one of the ships.
