Hey, we got something! Nothing for us campaign-only players, and still no "Shipping Now," but it's something at least!

Nice!

I'd be willing to bet that the shipping status changes later today.

So with the 3 in 1 article, are we not going to have any more articles? that would make me kinda sad TBH.

Unless we're getting an article just for agenda cards from the Maul and Emperor packs. But yeah, I agree.

I would gladly take In Shipping instead of another article.

If I had a say, I'd request Shipping now and then a new IA product announcement!

Edit: But not a skirmish map.

Edit edit: All three of those figures look great. I honestly don't know who I'm most excited about. I guess since I normally play campaign as Empire, Maul or Palp:) "Zappity Zappity"!!!!!

Well, if it hits "Shipping" status today, we will hopefully see an "In Stores" article in two weeks which leaves next week for an announcement of the next wave.

There need to be some surprises left when you open the box

From the looks of it, the blisters don't contain campaign hero upgrade items. That's a shame, they were so fun with Wave 7.

Edit: Well, nothing on Upcoming updated today yet. Maybe it will later, or maybe it's already shipping and the page just won't be updated until next week.

Or, maybe it's still on the boat, and this article was just throwing us a bone.

Honestly I think @Fightwookies is right. It's arrived and they're timing the Shipping status for a 10/12 release date.

Edit: I completely agree on the campaign items. They added so much value to those packs with one little card.

I... I'm actually feeling confident today. In the words of Ben Kenobi, it's probably about as naive as "some **** fool idealistic crusade", but for some reason I think @naitsirk is right. We'll get something today.

I've been having kind of a crap week, so I guess this is just wishful thinking, but hey- it is Friday. From the name of this thread, that used to mean something.

Seems like my best hopes for friday were less than the article surprise!

seems like FFG likes pissing the IA community off

It went on the boat the same time as legend of the 5 rings. Unless they put it on a different, slower boat, they already have it.

I noticed that too. Initially I thought they just hadn't unloaded it yet when L5R went to shipping and IA didn't, but you made a good point about staggering releases.

So HoTE is coming out in 2 weeks?

Or is there one more preview article to come out?

Closer to three weeks assuming we're correct.

To summarize:

FFG's releases are always on Thursdays and the shipping period is consistantly 15 days (give or take a day).

The thinking is that HOTE will go to Shipping status Tuesday-Thursday of this week for a 10/12 release date.

Whether or not there's room for another article... it's up in the air.

I asked in e-minis.com for the release date and they said that is comming last week september.

Do you think this info is correctly?

No

In New Zealand it seems to be releasing on Friday 29th September for the blisters, and Saturday 30th for the box set. It seems highly unusual but that is the info I have. I’ll wait and see I guess.

I really hope this is a case of "Oh, we here at FFG totally forgot to update the Upcoming page, but it's totally been shipping for already a week" and not that they're holding on to it to stagger releases. Haven't IA fans suffered enough this year without needless delays?

Problem is we got really spoiled there for a bit, where things last year were showing up every couple of months it seemed like. Personally I'm happy for the slow down, my wallet likes it better. Plus giving me time to catch up on painting that I had fallen behind on doing.

I'm used to the long delays... I played X-Wing since it came out... they never hit release dates there.

Day 63 under the dome...

We're smashing that 55 days On the Boat record that Jabba set.

Fun fact- the time between "Announcement" and shifting to "On the Boat" was 82 days. That seemed like such a long time, pretty hard to believe the time between "OTB" and "In Stores" is probably going to be similar. I guess the semi-frequent updates helped it go by faster.

Well you know how it is ... there's a lot of traffic on Coruscant, the longer delay is not very surprising ...
