WAVE 8 NEXT WEEK!!!!!!

By csgoat, in X-Wing

HaHa, made you look.

But no, seriously, a guy I know who knows some things said FFG is going to be shipping next week and wave 8 should hit the following week. Makes sense seeing as how most SCs will be wrapping up and that fantastic moderator ruling of "no ships unless they have been out for a week or longer" thing. I haven't been this excited for something since I lost my virginity. And I am sure that the unboxing for wave 8 will take longer than my first time.

Well the article https://www.fantasyflightgames.com/en/news/2016/2/26/boba-fett/said they would be at retailers next week now (at least I am almost positive it said next week) they are saying it will be March 17 "Wave VIII are scheduled to arrive at retailers throughout the United States on Thursday, March 17th."

Where have they stated March 17th. Last I saw their twitter said mid March....

In the article

he eighth wave of starship expansions for X-Wing is now just a few weeks away!

Featuring the protagonists and villains of Star Wars Rebels, as well as a few of the galaxy's deadliest bounty hunters, the Rebel, Imperial, and Scum expansions for Wave VIII are scheduled to arrive at retailers throughout the United States on Thursday, March 17th.

Makes sense seeing as how most SCs will be wrapping up and that fantastic moderator ruling of "no ships unless they have been out for a week or longer" thing.

We know they are coming out on the 17th. But ships are legal upon release in North America there is no been out a week or longer thing.

Others have said these things, but they bear repeating.

(1) FFG announced yesterday that the street date for Wave 8 is March 17. The guy you know is 24 hours behind the actual news.

(2) According to the tournament rules, everything is legal the moment it's released.

Where have they stated March 17th. Last I saw their twitter said mid March....

March 17th date is a hoax. Trust Twitter It's going to be mid-March.

What is 31 / 2? Is that close to 17?

March 17th date is a hoax. Trust Twitter It's going to be mid-March.

Err, the difference being...?

That's the joke.

Beware the Ides of March.

I cannot believe that anyone continues to read the FFG pre-release articles and actually thinks any of it is accurate.

The March 17th date can now be sourced to FFG's Twitter, a post in the forum, and the revised version of the article. That's pretty solid triangulation.

Nope, he told me Wednesday, just figured I would post it following the article to see who is actually paying attention. Seems split down the middle.

So now I'm confused haha. Didn't realize they updated the article and removed the date. However on Twitter they are almost guaranteeing March 17th as the date which was the date originally in the article. Why would they remove the date and then on Twitter say unless there is some crazy catastrophe March 17 is the right date?

What the heck is this? The Boba Fett article clearly stated at the end that Wave VIII was coming out this coming Thursday. Now I see that that info was edited out. I've went almost 2 days with false excitement. I would have thought that they could get the day right with only 6 days to go, but I guess I should have known better.

This, who ever told you otherwise, is wrong. It has always been as soon as the ship is out, it's legal.

They didn't remove the date from the article. The update was adding the date. Prior to that it said next week. Now it says in the current version article the date of March 17th. I don't know why say Its not there now.

The article was written weeks ago to be approved by Lucasfilm and wasn't updated when it came back from Lucasfilm after being approved before posting. Then they updated it and it now says March 17th. This was all done in a matter of hours the day the article was put up and FFG posted it here in a thread about the article and on Twitter too.

I was led to believe the release date was around mid March, nether confirmed or denied that internet rumours apparently specifies the 17th of March. The problem with the rumoured due date is not the problem at all, the problem lies in peoples expected, impatient assumptions and attitude regarding the problem.

So by everyone just casually trolling along until midish March can only define the grey area as to when the wave 8 actually arrives, apparently its around March some time, anyone care to elaborate?

That makes zero sense anything you posted. I have no idea what if anything you are trying to say with that post.

March 17th is the release date as per the article on the FFG main page.

Guess I was Johnny on the spot with seeing the article then. I guess I can wait a couple more weeks. I just recently ordered the Wave VIII stuff and the Gonzati/T-70/TIE/FO all together, so now I have to wait longer for the stuff that has already been released :(. My life is pain.

Life is pain, Highness. Anyone who says differently is selling something.
