Someone remind me - how long roughly do expansions spend on the boat before arriving in stores?
I seem to remember it's usually about 6-8 weeks, but there's a few items - like the StarViper and Aggressor that have been on the boat for nearly 12 weeks now
Two months is the usual guesstimate.

Edited by FTS GeckoShouldn't be too long now then - thanks
In fact, doesn't the release usually come a week or so after the final preview article?
We've already had two previews for the Ghost and one for the Inquisitor's TIE - one for the Punishing One, one for the Mist Hunter, one Wave 8 summary article, then on sale the following week?
That would take us to the end of January. Sounds about right.
There's something fun in spaceships arriving via boat instead of flying... 
Agreed with Gecko, end of January sounds about right to me too

Unfortunately you have those scum ships backwards, Mist Hunter preview will come before the Punishing One. Don't get me wrong, I'm excited for the Mist Hunter, but for some reason I really want to know what Boba Fett and the new scum mechs do, even though I'll totally buy the expansion even if they're terrible.
I'm not too fussed about when the next wave arrives - it'll get here when it gets here and I'll buy it when it does.
I would quite like another Punisher, StarViper, K-Wing and IG-2000 before the next wave arrives though

Are you saying you can't get those currently?

I can if I buy online from about 2-3 different retailers - can't find anywhere with all the ships I want in stock so I can just place a single order and save on shipping
and I prefer to buy from my LGS where possible

Got it, thank you. And i don't have an LGS but am the same regarding shipping costs.
6 weeks on the boat (not counting bad weather or Chinese New Year complications) + ~10 days for unloading/domestic transport to stores is my "hopeful" estimate. Add another 10 days for how long it feels for expansions to hit stores....

I would prefer the LGS too, but when they charge full price plus getting there and tax, I can get more bang for my buck, and since I ain't made of bucks.... I buy online, even if the online sources were to start charging full price, between gas and tax, I still pay less online...
For my birthday I got a pre-order of the Ghost. I feel a bit like those kids back in the day who received an 'early bird package' from Kenner for Christmas. More anxious than usual.

I got a voucher for a Mist Hunter from my buds at the shop for X-Mas, so I know exactly how you feel. It's a torturous wait....

So glad I do not preorder anymore. What is the point...MM and CSI will have plenty in stock once the ships are available and at the same price as the preorder. No sense tying up my money for months on end when there is no advantage over waiting for the "In Stock" announcement.
