Apologies if this has already been covered in the past...
However, I was just a bit curious as to whether there was - as the subject line indicates - an approximate timeframe for a FFG item being "on the boat."
Are we talking a few weeks? A month or more?
Anyone produce an average or median timeframe?
Sea freight really has too many variables to nail that down. Want to say something like 4-6 weeks barring work slowdowns/strikes.
I've said it before and I'll say it again: Putting the manufacturing plan on the boat would do wonders for the speed of availability for new releases.
Don't forget customs too. Figure more like 2-3 months, that way you'll be pleasantly surprised when stock shows up in 6 weeks, barring any hold ups.
A couple of months is likely. Wasn't the Gozanti on the boat for 3-4 months or so? I remember when the Decimator/Outrider-boat was ionized, that one took a while to get here.
reading the future in the innards of small birds is easier than guessing when ben-hur inc., the company I suspect does the shipping for FFG, hits any coast.
Depends on whether it is kracken season or not.
Let's hope Poseidon finds himself too busy with other undersea matters to unleash that particular beast... Ha.
Anyway, thanks for your responses, everyone.
More specifically? I'm waiting on the Most Wanted set. (Finally got tired of my Rebel Y's not being able to compete.)
It seems that expansion is going for out-of-control prices on nearly every online marketplace, as it is currently unavailable at any online retailers. And unfortunately, Most Wanted is not available at B&N or any other brick-and-mortar retailer near me.
So - *sigh* - I must wait.
Anyone aware when Most Wanted first appeared "on the boat?"
About a month ago. So probably another month before it gets to distribution centers and starts getting shipped.
If you want new life for your Y-wings, buy a K-wing for the 2 TLT cards if you don't own one already.
so, just so everyone knows, you don't have to guess at average "on the boat" times, the are listed on the right hand side of this page:

btw, it states an average of 4-6 weeks on the boat
So when did Mist Hunter and Punishing One get on the boat? When are they gonna drop? Ohh! I can't wait!
Edited by DarkcloakIt should arrive by the end of the month. My guess is
January 15th: Mist Hunter Article
January 22nd: Punishing One Article
January 29th: Wave 8 Now Available Article
7 years

That's a typographical error though.
When FFG said "generally [takes 4-6 weeks]" what they meant to say was "under absolutely ideal circumstances when nothing whatsoever goes wrong"
probably just a slight slip of someone's typing fingers or something

doesn't it always seem to take longer when you are waiting for something you really want to, I mean, doesn't it automatically add 2 weeks or something... feels that way to me anyhow
6 weeks, give or take a decade.
Many Bothans lost their lives trying to find out this information but to no avail.
Good luck finding out lol. I want to know when out of stock items will be back in stock been checking on warhammer quest forever to come back in stock lol.
