So ive been wondering why there has been a lack of news over new products from ffg, especially in the star wars product line. Except for imperial veterans in xwing, news on new products has been slim to none. No armada stuff for months, imperial assault only has 2 figure packs due out with nothing behind that, and xwing is just wave 8 and imp veterans. My original thought was episode 7 tie ins, but as we are almost a month past that there must be some other catalyst driving it.

It could be they want less time from announcement to street date, or to let current products feel fresh by not giving new product news, while that could be the case, im wondering if there is a bigger more business oriented reason. As many of you know ffg becomes asmodee north america on 4-1 and starting that date they have a new set of rules about who can distribute, and who can sell, and via what medium.

The radio silence, while explainable with different theories, im wondering if they are waiting for 4-1. Its possible if they announce it now current distributors might have contractual rights to order, throwing a wrench into thier more tightly controlled business model. I hope im wrong as a near 3 month new product line freeze could suck, its a reasonable theory that no one has presented.

/sigh. . . here we go again. . . This time the last topic is not even a day old. . .

X-Wing Release dates:

Wave 1 was released at GenCon in 2012, that was August 16th

Wave 2 was released on February 28th (look at that it was over 6 months) while their Kessel Run event (same thing as our Sullust event) occurred in December. Oh to help you more, They previewed Wave 2 in September 2012.

Wave 3 was released on September 13th, WOW what a long wait there! You know. . . Wave 3 was not even announced until May 4th so that was 2 months from the time of Wave 2's release

Wave 4 was not even announced until February 7th! Talk about a wait and a half!

After wave 4, FFG started to really pick up its pace, in fact it announced waves, 5, 6, and 7 all in 2014. Hmmmm, personally I think you and all of those who are complaining need to settle down and look enjoy what we have so far.

For those that don't get why I posted this set of dates. So far Armada is mirroring X-Wing's release schedule. Now if that is intentionally done or not I don't know but it is a fact.

You're doing God's work. You should just start quoting the last one so we get the seven layers of Lyraeus.

As for God. Meh.

It could be they want less time from announcement to street date.

I would go with that, the last two releases have been delayed, wave 2 quite significantly.

I certainly hope they keep silent until there is a nice reasonable release date, having had Wave 2 for just over 4 weeks I am in no great rush for knowledge of Wave 3.

I think they caught on to two very important things: production to street time, and digestion of a wave time. They want people to have an interest, bring their buddies in with basic ships and build groups.

Part of the reason I think Mel's isn't shut down, is because it keeps people interested in the game for those who can't wait.
