Was notified by my local shop its been delayed till next week. Booooooooo.

It's a lie! My shop got 3 copies of the 12 he ordered. He'll get more next week. Pinky promise!

Big shocker. FFG delivery times have always been dubious, but have gotten even worse since the merger with Asmodee and their new polices.

Yea i was rather upset when i went to my game store yesterday and inquired about the vets and they said next week...perhaps?

Im not buying 2 of them for the sheer fact that theres ~30 of us in this area and i wanna say only 5-6 of us dont care about vets...but i want MY 1 BOX! lol

FWIW, I've heard the 29th for awhile in the states (FFGEC is doing a release event).. I wonder if there was some miscommunication internationally.

FFG really needs to get with UPS and figure out the whole Logistics thing.

Imperial Vets was initially scheduled for a 2016 Q1 release. And with the current release date they are barely making it into Q2.

I don't mind long waits, so long as it's accurate. FFG, be pessimistic so we can be happily surprised, not the other way around.

Mine arrived today, 23rd, exactly as expected. Uk, though - a smaller place so deliveries should be faster.

I had heard the 30th for a while now so ths isn't exactly news

You can blame "Ass-modee" for this. They like to setup these artificial release dates. Stores are made to hold on to these items in their stock rooms and not sell them or be punish if they do.

I'm sure they aren't doing it randomly or out of spite.

I only think delayed releases are a huge issue when they impact a major event. And FFG has been fairly helpful with suggestions about whether or not expansions will be legal at upcoming events.

Not delayed. The release date was always the 29th. FFG GC has had a release party/tournament scheduled for the 29th for almost three weeks. I mentioned it before but y'all ignored me.

I pre-ordered 2, but if there's an initial shortage at the FLGS, I'll just pick one up for now. Everyone deserves Defender (and Bomber) goodness.

I don't mind long waits, so long as it's accurate. FFG, be pessimistic so we can be happily surprised, not the other way around.

Same thing I say about the retail side of my office. Under-promising and over-delivering is far superior to the other way around

Got mine the 22nd, where are you?

Endless waiting...

street date in the US is june 30th

Then this picture probably stings a bit

Ergh! I was SO hoping I would get a call today from my FLGS. Oh well, gives me another week to play with all the stuff I haven't been able to try yet, maybe finally repaint a G-1 or finish my Kihraxz mod.

How will Brexit affect future UK releases?

They go to the back of the queue.

they should be out in Gencon... along with the highly touted colored bases..wohooo...

At this rate, my preorder of heroes and wave 9 will arrive on my tombstone long after i am gone from this world

Well! It's not often we get products first in the UK! Nya nya!
