Many Bothans Died to Bring Us This Information

By Engine25, in X-Wing

AKA the owner of the FLGS screenshotted his pre-order screen from the distributor. Take it with a grain of salt, as we can never be sure. The latest X-wing stuff has certainly been delayed longer than expected (Wave 8 and Veterans), but the OTHER Star Wars games have had quite short release turnarounds lately (Armada, Imperial Assault, LCG). Wave 5 announced in June and prereleased at GenCon, so I'd say this is possible.

Well if true that means u-wing and 2/3rds phantom will be the December release(if they are both straightened)

I believe it. That's about the time that force Friday will be this year. 9/30/2016 to be exact.

How realistic the specific date is or not - it does tell us at least one thing that we didn't specifically know before.

That is - FFG intends the HotR expansion to be released simultaneously with wave 9. That's legit new information.

How many titles are on this forum have "many Bothans died.....". Bothans must bread like rabbits or there would be none left by now

This wave will certainly be after gen-con which is the norm for X-Wing.

Close, but no cigar.

It's Manny Bothans.

He was a real hero, was Manny.

Colored bases and pegs?

I can see the new Heros pack out on Force Friday, and the other stuff lagging behind it.

Yup definitely the bases and pegs.

That falls in line with Last year actually. If I recall, their was a pre-release at GenCon, and the Wave dropped at the end of September. It gave those lucky few who attended Gencon almost 2 months to hock their wares on Ebay and to sell the ships at HUGELY inflated prices before the Wave dropped in stores. Expect the same this year.

of course its bases and pegs

thanks Guys

Only issue is how can it preorder on almost the last day of september and release in september.

The date listed there is the last day they can be preordered. Preorders are open now. FFG now has a standardized release schedule schedule, releasing products on Thursdays. 9-28 is a Wednesday, so we could get the ships on 9-29.

This has been the trend since the game released in 2012. Prerelease of upcoming product at GenCon, then wide release in the fall.

One day shipping would be AMAZING for any Hobby distribution company. It could be but I wont hold my breath on that until I see it.

I mean, pretty safe to assume that you won't get it day 1 if you put in your order the day before. The ships usually come in 2-3 waves close together. Mostly day 1, with follow up restock shortly after.
