Are we expecting anything tomorrow?

By Shenannigan, in X-Wing

This time last year, target employees had leaked some and we knew something was coming. There's a missing swx and an unexplained gap in the release of HOTR. Two weeks ago, I would have bet that something was coming for the rogue one force Friday release.

Now? I'm not so sure...,wouldn't we have seen...something?

Friday 2nd of September is 6 Weeks since an Armada Announcement (Corellian Conflict Campaign).

So expect more details there.

But for X-Wing Related things... There's nothing in the 'further detail' announcement window other than Heroes of the Republic.

But that window's so wide open, there's nothing about September 2nd that would lead to that. That could be any day.

The Official Articles on the X-Wing Core Set were on the Day last year, not beforehand... So officially, you wouldn't expect anything else.

at this point, no idea.

HOTR has been dead silent for eons, wave10 only just got announced, wave9 is just waiting to hit public shelves.

Cant say anything about ROGUE ONE yet afaik. Though i agree with everyone else that the TIE Striker and U-Wing is in Wave10 and thats why its only 3 ships.

Tomorrow i dont really expect anything. By the end of the month i expect SOMETHING for HOTR and of course Rogue One related stuff.

Isn't force friday like 29th this year, anyway?

30th.

It's been 4 months since news on HotR.

I think it's going to be a while before they announce anything. They're already into some bad marketing - people are all talking about wave 10 before wave 9 comes out. I think if they announce too far in the future, they'll kill their sales of the next wave. I'm betting we'll hear about rogue one stuff about 2 weeks after wave 9 hits the shelves. Usually, we hear about a new release after the buzz has died down about the last one.

Also, Rogue One looks like it'll have so many new ships they'll probably have to release it as wave 11!

A CubanBoy thread?

More likely we officially hear about Rogue One stuff on the 30th same as we officially heard about the force awakens stuff on last years Force Friday.

The Russian bride I had shipped over?

Dragoncon is this weekend so we might get some updates but I don't know if fantasy flight has a booth there

The Star Wars Go Rogue, Chapter 1 toy video that was recently released may have some hints as to new ships

0:26 tie striker and tie fighter

0:28 another tie striker in the background

these look about the quality of an xwing miniature, but can't tell dimension/scale of the ships because of all of the compositing. could just be toy and not a x-wing miniature

Rain and lots of it....

Force Friday for Rogue One is September 30. We do expect an announcement, but not for a month.

They don't have a booth, but there is a Flight Crew presence doing demos in the gaming area.

No it's not.

He meant 6 weeks after the Corellian Conflict Campaign:

No he said six weeks since the last Armada announcement. I was pointing out another announcement has happened since then for the next wave for that game.

Called it .

Yes, I know that's what he said.

But if you also read this other thread (in the Armada forum) you would have known that he actually meant 6 weeks since the Corellian Conflict Campaign announcement. But anyway, it's pointless to argue about that.

The new Falcon/x-wing is due to ship at end of the month SO(this is a big SOOOO) seems kinda off that it is coming out all by itself...

Not really. Aces pack style releases always come out by themselves. Same as Imperial Veterans a few months back.

Sunrise? I'm guessing Eastern sky?

I said no such thing

I said since an Announcement.

" Friday 2nd of September is 6 Weeks since an Armada Announcement (Corellian Conflict Campaign)."

Since a specific announcement.

That has been interpreted as to imply there has been no announcements in the meantime , but that is not what I said, nor is it the truth.... Clearly, I have made some grievous error.

Wow. I was totally wrong about this... I guess I'll get a job now to make money to pay for a copy or two of each of the TEN expansion packs in the pipeline now...
