Let's take a guess on how late Wave 11 will be

By Cubanboy, in X-Wing

Per the article,

Stay tuned! These Wave XI expansions (SWX64-66) are scheduled to arrive at retailers late in the second quarter of 2017!

So unless it's on the ship and no one told us let's guess when wave 11 will show up. The winner gets a cookie. (Also the preview arts are normally when ships are on the boat so....)

I think it's about 10 weeks away. August 25th

Last I checked, Wave 11 was still at the printers. Retailers have no clue when they're getting their merchandise in. But this is FFG, by now I think we all know to expect these delays. While I'm geared up to buy some new ships, I'm not too upset about having the money in my pocket for the time being.

I'm guessing early to mid august. Scum aces will arrive around the same time as the yet to be announced Ep 8 tie ins, which will be late Nov to early Dec.

Early release at GenCon in August, general release late September, then Guns For Hire late October.

Ahh, you beat me to it. When FFQ says Qx, they really mean Qx+1. So late Q2 is really late Q3, which would be September. Late Q2 is now.

“An expansion is never late. Nor is it early; it arrives precisely when it means to.”

Well ok, not really. As long as it arrives in sufficient quantities so that there is no shortage, I'll be happy :P

I'm going for September as wel. As for the new Scum Aces... probably november

October. Guns for Hire December. 2 ships from Wave 12 just before the movie, the rest of the wave Feb.

Praying for next year, so I don't have to fight tactician gunner wookiee space hinds till after regionals.

NAH... MARCH!

:lol:

I see the 3 Ships being September, Guns for hire November, movie tie in ships late December / Jan

• Wave 11 release August (maybe alongside GenCon).
• Wave 12 announcement at GenCon (August).
• The Last Jedi product announcements will follow on Force Friday (September).
• Guns For Hire will release late November/ early December.
• The Last Jedi releases early December, coinciding with the release of the film.
• Wave 12 release Q1 2018.

Wave 12 will consist of:

• 1 Rebel
• 1 Imperial
•1 Scum

The Last Jedi announcements will be:

• A rebranded The Last Jedi Core Set (2 x TIE/fo, 1 x T-70, updated rules, maybe new pilots/upgrades)
• Resistance A-Wing
• First Order Interceptor

The Resistance A-Wing and First Order Interceptor will be "added to Wave 12" once they're announced, but will arrive in December to coincide with the cinematic release of the film, while the rest of Wave 12 will arrive Q1 2018.

This is pretty much my expectation for the foreseeable future - even numbered wave in January, aces pack or epic ship in May or June, odd numbered wave early release in August, general release in September, aces pack or epic ship in October, movie-related release in December. Seems like it's been a doable schedule for the last couple of years.

Rumour at my FLGS is late July, although I think August is likely to be closer to the mark. That said, we've started getting preview articles earlier than I expected...

My prediction is very similar to this, but I'm actually guessing wave 11 will be the December wave (not wave 12)... but yeah, they'll add two ships to wave 11 when it's released in December.

General FFG rule of thumb: add 1 quarter to all predictions, 2 if they use the word "late" anywhere in there.

Since they switched to a single distributor I'll bet you can add a further quarter or 2 to those numbers. Lowest bidder wins again!

Armada's wave 6 should be in the trucks already and in stores next week... due to my initial estimates, so based on that I'd put Wave 11 about 1 month behind schedule. But that's all magic and prediction and stuff.

Going against the grain, First part of July with Guns being September

It will be so late wave 12 will be released before it. :P
