Wave VI Release Date Updated

By SgtDurandal, in Star Wars: Armada

Pretty new here still but I just noticed in the Upcoming section that they updated the release date today for the Wave VI expansion to 7/6. Just wondering how reliable this info has been for past releases?

Panic Not, People :D


The Latest Update was updated, but the actual content of the Date for US release did not change. It was stated last week that the US Release Date was going to be the 7th - so that part of it isn't New News :)

This is a background update - which probably means its met some background milestone or some such, that we are not directly privileged to.


(As an Example - they updated to Shipping Now when it was all completely received at FFG and began shipping out to US and International Distributors... The date is now updated a second time - ie, now - when the US Based Distribution has been completed, as an example... It doesn't change any information for us, as the Release Date is still the Release Date, but a shipping checkbox on the system has been completed )

The US Release Dates are virtually guaranteed US Release Dates. They don't say it unless they're going to hit it, barring natural disaster, basically.

US release dates should be followed very quickly worldwide. But its not guaranteed.

Ah great. Thanks for the info. Guess I'd been out of the loop for awhile and missed when the release date was posted. As always @Drasnighta , you are a most reliable source of great info. Keep up the good work!

This would ship today to hit distributors and then retailers before next Thursday/Friday given that Tuesday is a holiday in the US. You still won't be getting these for the weekend.

hopefully we will see the missing cards show up soon then!

This makes the info I got on my pre-order seem even more confusing.

If your Preorder was handled UK Side, then its handled by Esdevium, and, well, they're subject to stuff in the Outside-of-the-US market.

Same as I have here in Canada... There's no guarantee we'll have release date on time - so could be another week or two, who knows...

Yeah the word I got was late in the month. Bit of a let down, but hardly life threatening.

My local salesman swears that they already have them in their warehouse...

Yep, quite a few of those rumours around.

One person I know said they have it already... But are sitting on their hands and their copy until closer - since they were not supposed to have it, and it getting out there would expose their source...

We'll see final details soon.

I just want someone to rip open one of the boxes so we can finally know what is on the Quad Battery Turrets card...

I guess... Troll Mission Accomplished....

It was not intentional.

I've seen boxes - some FLGS already have em.

Looks like they are in stock here in Australia too but not available til the 6th

Not surprised, now that you guys have three distributors now! Sheesh! :D

with as many people out there that say they have access to these now I'm amazed that the Quad's haven't been leaked.

FFG doesn't take kindly to leaks like that. It's a fast way to be blacklisted from distribution. X-wing had some issues with that in the past.
