Some wave 8 news.

By TasteTheRainbow, in X-Wing

any news is cool.

I was going to post "Not until the second of May!?!". Then I remembered you Yanks order your dates oddly...

I can wait a week.

Awesome news!

Not sure I believe it, we still haven't seen the Punishing One preview.

There are two possibilities

1. Jumpmaster rocks SO MUCH that they don't want to spoil it

2. Jumpmaster is such a crapheap that they're ashamed to give it a spotlight

The JM5k dial is probably the most interesting thing about this wave, so I can hardly blame them for leaving it til last! Just hoping we get a preview today and release this week so I can get my Chimps on board Redline for a tournament on Saturday!

3. The Jumpmaster preview is today and wave goes to shipping to stores this week.

Jumpmaster preview was going to be last we knew since it was last in the announcement article.

No, we do it the right way. Month before day. That way, dates listed numerically automatically sort chronologically as well.

Although technically, we both do them wrong, because we both list the year last. It should be Year-Month-Day.

It'll be both depending on which side of the dial you're looking at.

It's still a PWT that's like 2 waves late for the PWT-fest.

Unless we see a dial with 4-5 maneuvers with speed 3 it'll be hard for him to find a sweet spot.

he's still in Han's price bracket and surely misses all the goodies Rebels and Imps utilized for PWT-fest, like Isard, C3PO...

Boba crew!

I wonder if the preview will hit whenever wave eight is shipping.

I think Jumpmaster and a few specific cards are going to do some work, so they're saving them for last.

If anything it comes with two copies of Guidance Chips so you don't have to buy 4 TAPs.

Meh, I'm already buying two, maybe three TAPs depending on how the "Baron of"s turn out.

Meanwhile, I'm just not personally a huge fan of the Jumpmaster 5000. Happy to see it in the game and I'm happy for all the Dengar fans and folks who just want a PWT for the scum, but I have mostly no interest in ever actually using one at the moment. I'm sure someday that might change (variety is the spice of X-wing!), but it'll probably stay on my backburner unless some of the upgrade cards are just that amazing and too expensive to justify buying separately. Which I am tempted to see what the Boba Fett crew does... but hey, my Bossk now gets 4-L0M, which is already fantastic.

While it'll be great if this turns out to be true, we've been burned by Amazon shipping updates before. We had a thread like this every other week for months while waiting for the Raider, after all.

A shipping notification is quite a bit more substantial. Unless it's fake, obviously.

Anyone remember when wave 8 was put on the boat? I can normally find a post for it, but google has failed me today.

That's the last update, which isn't always the same thing as when it went on the boat originally. But if that's the date, then it would be in stores next week or the week after. IIRC when it did go on the boat I think early Feb was what most of us predicted.

That may mean that Wave 8 is out before my Store Championship... That might change what I fly.
