Wave XII speculation??

If we have six unassigned SKUs, the logical assumption is that that means we're going to see the exact same pattern we saw for TFA: The previously announced three ship wave will gain two ships, making it a five ship wave. That's most likely Kylo's new TIE Interceptor and either the Resistance A wing or the Resistance Bomber (I'd lean slightly towards the bomber, since it seems to be getting more early notice/promotion (the lego set etc.), but it could go either way). Then, Wave 12 will most likely be whatever's left:

  • The Resistance A Wing (Assuming the Bomber went out in Wave 11, they could easily be swapped)
  • Another FO ship if one is made available by the new movie, if not, something from Rogue One (Krennic's Shutt;e or the TIE Reaper seem most likely, but the Cargo Shuttle is a dark horse).
  • 2 Ships for scum pulled from some random place.

Yeah, this seems like the most likely scenario.

Except that they're highly unlikely to release anythign for TLJ, prior to the release of TLJ.

.... the exact opposite is most likely true. In the past they've always tried to get their tie in releases on the shelves before the movie opens to take full advantage of the hype, that's just sound business practices.
