Just wondering whose gotten their pre-orders yet.
Have You Receieved Bantha Rider and Smuggler Yet?
Miniature Market always sends me a notification email with a tracking number whenever they ship my orders...so far, nothing. ![]()
My FLGS is expecting them around the 17th or 18th.
I'm in the UK, my local store expects it in the mid-week shipment.
My FLGS said the street release date was also something like the 17th.
My FLGS in the UK expects it in their mid week shipment. So hopefully today (16th) or tomorrow (17th)
My FLGS just messaged me that my Bantha and Smuggler is in. Picking them up after work.. Woot, woot.
My pre-order was despatched yesterday! So I'll be hopefully playing with my new pet and making weird honking noises by the weekend!
Me and a mate ent to our flgs for a couple of games before this weekends store champs in the uk, and the bantha and smuggler were in their delivery box, so I grabbed two of each straight away, then used the banthas straight away.
Initial thoughts: hilarious to use and the stampede/trample combo is insane with the command card "Junland terror"
Thinking of this list with them:
Bantha
Temp alliance
Estormies
Estormies
Reg Royal guard
Ref officer
Reg officer
For the campaign, how many figures are allowed of each? I'm assuming one. I'm just wondering for when I buy them.
Edited by allenkwestOooh! Oooh! I gotta work on my Tusken Raider yell.
according to the announcement on the homepage, they should be out now.

SHOULD be. I've called the three (not so) local stores in Southern California and each of which say "not in stock they've been out for a long time". After me attempting to explain that ffg today marked them as 'in stores' I get a "huh" response along with a "next week maybe". Frustrating as a new player looking to get boba fett and paint and play bastard.
My comic shop had them in stock yesterday.

Man that's a bummer. My FLGS is pretty good at chasing things down. I lucked out that someone had ordered Boba but hadn't picked it up for a few weeks. The owner sold it to me. I hope you can get it soon though. He is pretty cool looking.
I'm hoping soon too! Thanks for the kind words.
Ah! I found a copy of twin shadows and boba fett. Pretty pumped on it.
Picked up a bantha and two smugglers today

Your only going to need one smuggler, but if the expansion includes cards for regular and elite banthas, you can run one of each, in the same manner you would hired guns. I think the Bantha has an environment requirement, so keep that in mind.
FYI there's no grey Bantha card. It's like the AT-ST - it only has an elite version.
And before anyone complains - yes it's meant to come unglued. The head, tail, base and rider are separate pieces.
That'll make it easier to paint!
Edited by jonboyjon1990My bantha rider just arrived but was missing the head!
That's a bummer.
At least we have two things to consider...
1) FFG awesome support-- they'll send a replacement.
2) Sorastro's painting can now include a section on working with green stuff and sculpting!

Lol I'm not sure my green stuff skills are up to bantha-head levels of proficiency ![]()
The missing part isn't a big issue as the retailer is sending out a replacement; it's also not as if I don't have enough awesome miniatures to paint as it is!
I got mine yesterday. It's odd, the bantha was fully assembled, but unglued. The hilt of the rifle had broken off but was an easy fix.
Picked mine up at my nearest LGS in Glasgow yesterday. Luckily I had today off so didn't have to delay the painting!
