The Boat...The facts

By The Jawa That Shot R2, in X-Wing

If we call that 60 days, that is 1440 hours. In that time the boat should have covered 38,880 miles. The earth is only 24,901 miles around. I think it missed the first time and decided to make a second pass?

Well, it's a missed opportunity.

Who sails at night? Cut your estimates in half.

Pretty much every commercial boat ever?

I doubt its one single boat...though that could explain things.

"Alright lads, we've delivered 1/8th of the stuff for North America. Now let's go back to China and then hit the UK for a third of their shipment. Then NA again..."

Ban boats!

It's says "on the boat" and not the "the boat has sailed" or maybe it's delayed as some big guy is always yelling "hold the door" and it's delayed again,

Dude. Too soon. :(

I only hope that this boat trip isn't going to take 7 years too

Our distributor already has it in their warehouse and is just waiting for the green light from FFG.

Perhaps in a move inspired by star wars the goods arnt shipped in shipping containers and are instead packed into under floor smuggling compartments of a ratty little, heavily modified, tug boat. And they don't update the "on the boat" line until all of the consignment has arrived. It just takes a lot of trips.

"Hold the door"

Made me so sad

I think the entire boat is delivered to FFG. So it takes a long time to box it up and ship it to Minnesota from California. Plus when FFG actually gets it, all they get is a receipt slip from UPS requiring them to come down to the office and pick it up. Not to mention the logistics involved to get that huge box with the whole boat in it... through town to FFG.

Boats often sit being loaded for some time and vice versa being unloaded. There is probably only a handful of containers out of hundreds on a large ship which contain FFG products. It could easily take weeks to load and unload the boat fully.

Ban boats!

DAM-IT-FFG... I am out of LIKES. .. AGAIN!!!

:angry: :mellow: :lol:

THURSDAY... is... tomorrow...!!!

^_^

They were all set to ship Imperial Vets. But then some idiot loaded half the boat with indigo. Some silly dock regulation states that the indigo boat has to sit there in port waiting for more indigo.

The next boat was really big and would have been perfect. Except FFG was second in line to a coffee roaster, rolling his single barrel of coffee up the ramp and grumbling about market cost.

At least FFG has a small warehouse, so they can store the product and don't have to dump it all into the bay. ;)

No Green maneuvers and the captain is stressed! Can't perform the "dock action"!

All new Rogue One pilot spoiled! Can you guess what he pilots?

After taking things like rowing breaks, night time, red tape, alien interruption, ships shipping to smaller ships, no "dock" action when the ship is stressed, no white K-turn and FFG just playing with the ships...I have extended my prediction. I might have to move it to June 29th.... :D

As a side note, what if it does actually ship on the 28th? I would have to pause and think, "was I actually right?"

i would be rather upset because i wont be around to claim any for a couple weeks. Meaning, by the time i can the FLGS would be out of stock. FML lol

First half of June, according to my FLWS (friendly local webshop)

Really hoping to get it before US nationals

Maybe the reason it's taking so long is because Imperial Veterans is a two-day-event?

Har har!

Well i was wrong about it being a surprise release today.

Oh well can't win em all.
