Seen this pop up a couple different places on social media. Reddit features a picture from what looks like an Australian distributor with both next week's Armada wave and Wave XI in-hand. I know FFG only changed the status to "On The Boat" three days ago, but it would also explain why they pushed out preview articles for all three ships before they even made it onto the boat.
In short:
Doesn't fall in line with the history of the "On the boat" status. But does fall in line with preview articles. I believe it. FFG may have just gotten smart with when they update their status.
Well it does look like they have the packages on hand...

How is that smart? They list how long each step in the process is, and there's nothing smart about about waiting to update the status to make it seem like stuff is getting here faster.
Instead of announcing a wave when the product isn't close to ready, they release the articles within a short time frame where the consumer is still excited over the product. Idk, about you guys, but when I wait 2-3 months since the last article I tend to not be excited and have already proxied the stuff I was excited about. This way the consumer is still in the honeymoon phase of the product.
I want to believe but I can't quite buy it just yet.

None of us can buy it just yet.
But maybe next month we can.
I can't see it being July, but I definitely expect it to be out in time for GenCon.

Well played.
I want to believe, but I just can't bring myself to believe yet. :-)
I was expecting at least an early release for GenCon, they always have something new there. This would be a plus, because I dont know yet if I am going to GenCon this year.
Yikes. Gotta get some money to spend!
I want to believe that it will arrive, but I more want to believe they've managed to get their supply chain and preview cycle in order so we don't go two or three months from preview to release and end up having more or less completely played out all the new stuff before it arrives.

You guys are getting the Ausituck. It's similar to the Auzituck, but powered by koalas and kangaroos.

Who cares if you can flush the toilet at home, if you spend all your time playing X-wing at the FLGS?
Technically, if the water is shut off, I can still flush the toilet... once.
Just now, Kehl_Aecea said:Technically, if the water is shut off, I can still flush the toilet... once.
True.... showers, however.... eh. X-wing players are still above the average magic regional, so hygiene is important.
Well then, armada released to schedule. Who's ready for next week?
