Wave 8 prediction time

By ramy, in X-Wing

I predict that they start shipping tomorrow and arrive next Friday the 12th.

What are your guesses?

I'm hoping for February 11th because the next it's my birthday and Canadian release dates are on Fridays.

There still on the boat. Why do you think they will be so quick?

Most online retailers are showing shipping in late February.

They have been on the boat since December. It is entirely possible they switch to the next status which is Shipping Now and arrive next week if they go to shipping in the next day or two.

I'm going to be the pessimist here and guess they don't hit stores until March.

June at the earliest. Actually, realistically speaking, March (2018)

When products are updated to shipping they have been off the boat for awhile.

Starviper is listed as shipping now. Any idea when that will end up in stores?

Later this week or next week depending on your stores location.

Not sure if this is the case for all FLGS, but the owner of mine mentioned that with the change to distribution, starting last week, deliveries will always arrive for release on Thursdays. In the past a store could put new releases out as soon as they got them, but now only on Thursdays.

FFG just tweeted that if you have a tourney in 3 weeks you should practice wave VII lists just to be safe.

I am now the saddest.

FFG's social media guru needs to seriously up their Yoda game.

Uncertain, the future is!

Shipping Now... by Friday. :)

Seeing how they haven't even finished fully previewing the ships...

March (If we're lucky...)

I keep saying late February or early March. But the stores and distributors in my area keep saying Wave 8 is shipping this week. I wonder if they are confusing Wave 8 with the S&V restock.

That's possible. I just looked and it still says 'on the boat' for Wave 8, and so far a week or so after the status changes to shipping has been pretty consistant.

Guess I was wrong about it being yesterday.

It will be today. :)
