What kind of boat are the Veterans on?

By TwoDeeSix, in X-Wing

I was hoping someone else was also feeling that the wait for the Imperial Veterans expansion has been painfully long. It's been "On the Boat" since March according to the upcoming tracker.

Please. Please. Hurry.

far as i know, on the boat is just a relative term. Many local distributors probably already have it but theyre not allowed to send it to the stores until everyone has it unpacked. Given how slow customs can be on a boat...that can take awhile lol.

Im expecting them early/mid june.

My understanding from a reliable source within FFG (no I won't name them), is that Vets will be available late July early August at the soonest. And there is a possibility that it may get pushed back to November to be released when the Rogue One is released.

I think they may be on an imperial gunboat

Side question: Where do you find the status. When I look at the product page, it only shows "Not yet released".

Here is the product link that I'm referring to above. Thank you.

Nevermind, found the "Upcoming" link after I posted this senseless dribble.

Consider that FFG has 2 major conventions this summer Origins and GenCon. They like to pre-release in the past. So consider Veterans at Origins in mid June and Heros at GenCon in August. It would fit in with past experience. If you have been to one or the other you can see the sales they have new product releases. It probably pays a great deal of the cost of the convention.

Canoe....no paddle.

What was the total boat-->release time for wave 8? I think that's the new Asmodee standard.

nice..

though why the hell would a tanker have 1 agi? i call bs, **** thing cant even turn unless its in the wide open waters to begin with let alone dodge say... an ICEBERG!

*whimpers* i just made myself sad with that joke...

Oh... don't put that out there... all those pre-orders sinking... unable to even make it to a lifeboat...

i'm told they are gonna be in stores thursday

Honestly, does FFG even know when these boats get here?

I can't keep pulling the boat on my own. I need help and need to take rests, which involves me getting on the boat myself. I could use some help, as I'm only an average swimmer.

FFG is based out of Roseville, Minnesota. Those rivers can be hard to traverse. Lol.

You DO realize the models are actually manufactured in China, right?

Well their site says that "on the boat" can take about 8 weeks. This Wednesday will be 8 weeks. So, in actuality, they aren't even late yet.

I'm about 99.99% certain you're wrong. Given that tomorrow is tuesday, and they're street dating now, so presumably we'll know beforehand when it will release. And it's not switched to shipping yet anyway....

Let's just hope they didnt hire Han Solo to get them here:

I mean, it's not completely impossible. After all, it will have been eight weeks this week. But I asked my FLGS about them on Saturday, and they didn't even have a street date yet--so I'd be really surprised if it dropped this week.

The only explanation I like is that Han dropped them at a customs checkpoint. All the other reasons are far too plausible ;)

They're on the same boat they've always been on.

A big slow one. Nothing new, tbh.
