Shipping now means it will be here before Christmas for NA, sorry to the rest of the world!

USA!!! USA!!! USA!!!

Hmmm. Let's see....

Getting IA early (but having Trump as leader) or getting in IA in 2017 (and don't have Trump)

Rest of the World!!! Rest of the World!!!!

(sorry,too easy)

Someone willing to sacrifice it all will take Trump and his Russian friends "out to lunch" and save both the Galaxy and our delivery schedule for IA.

Now you're on a list

And not the one being checked twice?

Pleas stop before this thread gets put on lockdown. I would hate to have it locked before we get our stuff and it would be the first time I've ever had a thread locked

Yeah this thread has spiraled waaaay off topic...

With that in mind, any new ideas on actual release dates? I'd like to know which side of payday this is going to fall...

My Finnish store shows 12th January, so I expect that for the Europe.

Dec 29th has been one of the rumors for the US.

My store is also stating December 29th.

It's always tough to tell with tabletop games, since they don't follow as strict of a release schedule as something like DVDs or video games, but if we're going by what the Upcoming page says, approximately 7-10 days from shipping update could place it in stores between today and December 24th. Of course, the holidays, weekends, weather, and the simple fact that (once again) board/tabletop games follow a pretty laissez-faire release schedule (when compared to some other media), I guess the 29th is certainly not out of the question either.

For people like me who live 90+ miles from their nearest FLGS and had to order online, it's surely going to be an even longer wait.

I think that's just called a FGS.

Haha, you got me there!

Maybe the "L", in this case, stands for "long-distance".

I like the L. Instead of a "Favorite Game Store" it's affectionately a "Favorite Little Game Store". A hobbit-hole like tavern, where everybody knows your name, and they're always glad ya came.

I've always known it to stand for "Friendly Local Game Store"

Sounds like we need the EMPIRE to take control of the US so we can have peace and security. And maybe they could get Fantasy Flight's production on a tighter schedule.

The Evil Empire guy has taken over the USA, or he will January 20th 2017. I doubt starting a war with China is actually going to help FFGs production schedule however. Anyone dependent on their business model manufacturing in China should be VERY worried about the next 4 years. Of course gaming fans will be impacted in a negative way as well.

On a positive note maybe 3d printing will take hold. If printers become cheaper and great quality we could all buy the printers and the plans for each model then print them out. Might be a interesting alternative.

I hope that most online retailers ship early so we recieve our pre orders on the 29th. Some are good at this, others not. I have preorder from both mm and CSI for the next wave, really hoping to get the game before 2017 hits.

The holidays here and the soon to be coming Chinese new year won't help I'm sure.

Really excited to round out my mercs faction with some new characters and troops.

I got mine but I had to give them a friendly call and ask what the status of my order was. They said that they were backed up from the holidays and would ship it right away.

I love the flowers behind the boxes. It looks like a fiery explosion coming out of the walker.

I like General Weiss being in there randomly.

"Jabba? Alliance Rangers? Dewbacks? Frigging noobs."

If you look real hard you can see my black cat to the left in the back. She was all over and in the way of the unboxing. The extra General Weiss will be my 3rd AT-ST two with normal armaments and one with special armaments. I just happened to order it at the same time.

HOLY CRAP! Now that you point out the cat it's super creepy. I love it.

Good grief. This is why I have zero desire to get into the Skirmish aspect of the game and stick only with Campaign play. Buying one of each item is expensive enough. But having to buy TWO boxed sets? And what about all the extra cards and other bits that are left over... FFG really needs to sell the minis in the boxed expansions separately if they want more people to take skirmish seriously.

They cleverly stuck their LCG model inside of IA with the command/deployment cards... it has a bit of a collectible card game stink to it as well, but we can't quite call it that since you technically know what you are getting. However you will over spend to get 2 elite activations of box expansion units, which is just absurd because as you've said there is so much waste you don't actually need.
