Looks like the Arquitens box still says Imperial Raider.

Oh my God!

But we don't even have the detailed previews yet :o

Means that it is highly possible to get it by December and November for the Conflict

8 Weeks at the Printer, 8 Weeks on the Boat, and 2 Weeks to store is the Start of November.

...

For Wave 5.

Every Week beyond 8 at the printer, or on the boat, pushes us through November into December.

Umm we have different math...

I hope they retired the boat wave three was on.

You're right! Let me reparse all that through my head......

4 Weeks at the Printer puts us to Mid-September.
8 Weeks on the Boat, brings us to Mid-November.
2 Weeks Shipping, is Start of December....

With the Caveat that a bunch might be done in advance, early, to be sold at Worlds start of November.

With a 12 day difference between printers and for Corellian Conflict and Wave 5, we may see them ship together but I have to do a quick check on how long it takes some of their board games to print and ship. . .

Correlian conflict just has cardboard and no miniatures, so it will get through much faster. See Schmitty's blog for sourcing and more details.

I know that which is why I want to check some of their other games on time lines. It will still be 3 weeks or so at the printers and then 8 weeks of shipping.

That picture is literally my xmas list :D

Hope you have been extra nice, so FFG-Clause gives all the good little Rebels and Imperials lots of plastic spaceships and galaxy conquest campaigns this year.

After last year, I thought "theres no way next xmas will be as Star Warsy as this one was" I was wrong. Awesomly wrong!

Yay! Interesting how the Pelta gets the bigger, nicer box like a AF2 or Mc30 and the Arquitens gets the little package like a Raider or CR90. They're both small base ships. Thats fine, I like the Pelta more anyways :)

Times 2 for me. . . Actually. . . it might be x3. . . hmmmmmm

And now the hard question. Is Armada cranking out to much to fast? I dont want to see armada become x-wing with the 3-4 expansions extra year. I like how wave 1 and 2 were separated.

I think we'll see some time after this one.

Mostly because it'll help align things with Organised Play and Major tournaments, again.

I want 4 Arquitens

This likely wont occur too often. People HATED the wait for Waves 1 and 2. The issue is that people will never be happy. Some will like the speedy release but in all likely hood this is just following roughly the release schedule of X-Wing but I think we will have 2 waves next year. One after worlds and 1 before Regionals.

Given that painted models and not unpainted prototypes were shown at gencon, we might actually see them on time by the end of the year.

Something similar appears to be happening with X Wing wave 9.

So, likely to drop right in the middle of Regionals season. That will make my data tracking process more difficult.

We should see Corellian Conflict late Oct/early Nov and then Wave 5 after that. I agree with Dras that Worlds attendees should have early access to Wave 5..

If they rush it they may have have it out right before worlds and out to players a week later. They could be hopping for a joint release after October 21st and have just only updated the products.

Oh my god its like I'm mainlining prack.
