Final Wave VIII Article! Paul Heaver on Boba Fett

By Tsiegtiez, in X-Wing

woop woop! :)

Aaaaand the Upcoming page still lists Wave 8 as "on the boat," oh brother. Well, it's nice to know it'll be in stores next Thursday, regardless of what the Upcoming page says.

Oh, and I like your Boba Fett, Paul. Good addition to the game.

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!

Which is why I don't put the religious-like fervor into believing that page as many folks on here seem to do.

I don't believe the article.

By this time next week I'll start the timer to see how much longer it takes to reach european stores...

Because it is more often than not correct. Even if the 'shiping now' status isn't updated until tomorrow it's still correct.

I love this line: "After he does that, Boba leaves… If you wanted him to stick around, you should have paid him more!"

I'll belive it when they're in my hands. "Less than a week away" could mean anything from being able to pick them up at my local next week, to they start shipping next week. The former is the doubtful ideal. The latter is the likely prelude to several more weeks of waiting, as stocks arrive at the warehouse, and are redistributed.

Sounds pessimistic, but I'm not going to get hyped about this until I'm running my Leatherman through the blister of the five TAPs I ordered.

WAVE VIII LESS THAN A WEEK AWAY GET HYPE

Love the card Paul!

I can't wait to see what you design after your third Worlds win....

So the new wave is releasing before a couple stores near me finish their championships? That's weird.

Add another week or 2 for it to reach Canada. You know what would tide me over in the meantime? An updated FAQ :)

Not the first time it's happened.

It still says less than a week away with no date listed for me. Weird.

I've refreshed a few times and still see the "The eighth wave of starship expansions for X-Wing is now less than a week away!" line.

FFG just tweeted "shenanigans" on the article... they forgot to update it, wave 8 won't be out until mid-March

I love this line: "After he does that, Boba leaves… If you wanted him to stick around, you should have paid him more!"

I like this part:

With Boba Fett, disintegrations are perfectly acceptable again!

Far from the first time. I'll be taking my Wave 7 Palpatine Aces out to TableTop in Overland Park, KS on March 12 to get my butt thoroughly kicked. Then I'll have to come up with something fun for Village Geek in McPherson, KS on March 26.

It'll be fun, if you like adapting quickly and trying out new stuff, and it'll be a nightmare if you actually want to win. :rolleyes:

I totally missed the Official Level Omega status of this post, sorry! Thanks for the heads-up.
