That's what I want to know

Still says at the printer and I can't wait for this

I'd love to be surprised and see a shipping now status tomorrow, but won't get my hopes up

My question is, any idea in general how long it usually takes from when reviewers get their copy until it's finally released?

Since reviewers have it now, are we looking at 2 weeks or months or what?

There likely isn't any real correlation. The copies that reviewers have were likely from a handful that were airlifted from china, possibly without even all the final components. While the fact that there are copies complete enough to be reviewed probably means that it is almost fully manufactured, we will still have to wait for it to be put on a boat, 2 months to name it across the pacific, and another week or two to reach stores.

I would expect it mid April, at the earliest, and, given FFGs supply and logistics issues (Chinese new year is in 2 weeks, everyone remember the delays that has caused in the last), it wouldn't surprise me if we don't see it till gencon.

Very well thought out, but of course I hope you're wrong!

On facebook FFG said: "Marchish" for whatever that's worth.

I have read on miniaturemarket.com that they expect it to be released in february which I ind a little optimistic in regard of the actual status of the product. We'll see. After all, we don't miss any good game to wait till the messiah comes to us :-)

It just hopped on a boat, so it beat out the Chinese New Year monthlong shutdown.

That's still not counting travel, customs, getting into shipping, going to distributors, and then to stores and FINALLY to you. We're still at the tail end of a very long supply chain.

The positive is that it's on the boat ahead of the Chinese New Year celebrations! Hooray to FFG for coaxing that along. March'ish seems like a real possibility!

The fact that it is currently listed as "on the Boat" suggests to me that it will show up in stores sometime in April. I can't really see FFG managing to speed their normal pace up any more than that.

Well based on FFG's own timeline it puts it here anytime between Feb 25-Mar 10. Add on a week or 2 for shipping to the stores and we may have it in our hands by mid March.

SU&SD's review copy is on it's way to them. So assuming they get it in the next week or so - we can assume that ours will be Marchish - as quoted by FFG
