How Much Longer?

By Archangelion, in Star Wars: Armada

The Rebel and Imperial SquAdron packs have been in stock on FFG's website for about a month now but my local game stores still don't have them in stock. What can I expect for a timeframe for how long the process of a local game shop getting product from their supplier after that product hits the online store on the FFG website.

I'd just order it from FFG but between exchange rates and shipping costs it just isn't worth it to basically pay double the cost of what I can pay at my local shop.

Your best option would be asking this question to your lgs. Only they will know when they should be receiving.

I'm in West Virgina but continue to order from an old shop up in New York. Squad 1 & 2 packs were back ordered, but I think he had received them within 10 days.

Mine? Much

i'm getting FB reports that stores are getting them in the UK.

Edmonton has some too, here in West Canada.

Its all distributor / retailer, niw

They say their just waiting on their supplier and don't know when they'll be in.

So it could be next week, it could be the week or two after. Hopefully sooner than later, but at least that gives me hope that I'm not going to be waiting until Christmas for them to be in!

Thank you for your input everyone.

A batch of Imperial squadrons made it to the UK fairly quickly, but a lot of them seem to have gone now. The Rebel Fighters don't seem to have made it at all. If you are desperate, US-based stores other than FFG may be worth going to (I got a Rebel pack from one for about the same price - but that's with the UK's tax-dodging bonus).

Otherwise, best to ask your FLGS if they know anything about it or, if you know who it is, check your regional/national distributor .

I'd actually ordered 2 imperial packs back in feb from thewarstore not realizing they were out of stock. they informed me via email and let me know they'd mail them separate from the rest of my order as soon as they came in. Lol so ya, got those about 2/3 weeks ago. when FFG goes out of stock they go out for a long time.

I just want my FLGS with a webcart to put Chimaera up for pre-order.

Anyone seen it posted for sale anywhere online yet?

Considering its still listed as "In Development" on the FFG Website, you'd be hard pressed to get anything at this point.

Still has "At the Printer", "On the Boat" and "Shipping Now" because its in stores, after all... I doubt you'll even really get pre-order sides of things until we're either in or closer to October...

Oddly enough my FLGS already has Wave 7 up for pre-order, but then they're pretty keen for putting new things up, and are the exception rather than the rule.

We in Central Europe usually get the goodies 1-2 weeks later than everyone else, so don't feel too bad. It's hard but the wait is survivable (just barely).

That's actually where I order from. Neal may not always be the fastest guy out there, but he does provide communication throughout the process as long as you keep talking to him. His pricing is better than most as well unless you find a steal. I've ordered probably about $1300 of armada pieces from him in the past 3 months, with only 1 still being backordered which is a Neb-B.

Well it was a week. Preordered. Can't wait! Well I can, because I have to.

If anyone in the U.K. Is still after the rebel squadron packs book depository has them in and on sale at the moment plus it's free delivery.
