I heard a theory the other night that high-demand product was being held back to coincide with the Asmodee North America April 1st online price change.

It's not on the boat anymore. They just haven't updated its status. Check the wording on any MM preorders status.

Do you have a link to any of this? You've got me intrigued.

Ask anyone who has an MM preorder.

Do you have a preorder? what does it say?

Current speculation has it that the paint used does not meet with current EU regulations.

I've also heard that Germany is considering an outright ban on any type of wargame, so they've chained the ship the minute it docked in the port of Antwerp.

The current crisis in Syria has mandated the closure of the Suez Canal, for fear of freight ships running over refugees, thereby forcing ships to go the long way around Africa.

Due to the presidential election in the US, the currency market is fluctuating so much they've decided to hold back until the dollar is back to a favourable level.

With fuel prices so low, the shipping company has decided to unload some of the lighter containers to transport heavier ones. The added fuel consumption being offset by the low fuel prices.

I thought, why not add a few more unsubstantiated rumours?

FFG got the cloaking devices into the actual models. Wave 8 is in, you just cannot see them on the shelves until they decloak. Using the 2-straight template at my FLGS would put the wave 8 ships buried in the Munchkin display.

Just what we need; more Munchkin

My Lgs announces it for late March..

The same status shows on my Imperial Veterans pre-order, which is still printing.

Worst coincidence ever. It just changed recently. I guess they adjusted wording.

Current rumour is that talk of a ship carrying U-boats for pirates has caused all sorts of security issues at ports.

Must we have these threads for ​every release? We all know that FFG is... optimistic with their announced release dates.

Long enough for me to cancel my pre-order...

Optimistic about releases? No.

No. NO!

More like useless.

Never have I considered a logistics/marketing/PR team ever this incompetent.

If it was going to be held such and such a date....

make it get there before and on time...

Then announce that darn date.

Well it's quite usual to be optimistic' about product release dates for the simple purpose of generating hype and anticipation among the consumers. But we're approaching a ridiculous level of delay, way beyond any reasonable marketing purpose. The least they could do is give an update about the delay.

Does it usually take over 2 months like this?

Wave 2...

There's 7 waves worth of ships that you haven't tried all the combinations out of.

relase date from my gamestore ist 3rd of march

Has there been a release date that I missed? Because the site is quite clear that it should take about so long for each step, but that isn't a promise or a release date.

Well, 200 days ago they did say 4th quarter of 2015. Right now, they'll be lucky if they make the first quarter of 2016...

I remember them saying they were hoping for that, but it wasn't a given.

Well, it always was rather optimistic, but still, expectations were raised.

The starship expansions of X-Wing Wave VIII are scheduled to arrive at retailers in the fourth quarter of 2015!
