Per @Absol197 , 6-7 weeks (ignoring anomalies like Ghosts of Dathomir ) to go from boat to Shipping Now, and then I think another week or two to get to In Stores Now. With all those books on the boat at once, though, they may stagger the releases.
They're sending the big boat this time, with four different books. I must admit that it's hard to pick a favorite, but since my current character is a force sensitive techie, it's probably this or Fully Operational (or both).

It seems counterintuitive but I've generally been more pleased, at least initially, with the books I wasn't as interested in. Probably the difference between anticipation and expectation.
It's probably my eternally giddy fangirling, but I've not been disappointed by any book, except perhaps Ghosts , and I like it well enough because of the new Force power.
Sooo...yeah . No matter what, this book is going to ROCK!!1!1!

Say it with me now: Alchemical space station
I'm pretty stoked about Dawn of Rebellion as well, hoping for a bucket load of Rogue One and Rebels stuff, so...
I'll probably end up loving cyphers and masks according to that logic, because right now I couldnt care less about that book. The Melitto look cool I guess.

More on this, no disintegrations was initially a let down for me after all the hype we all gave it. But nowhen I consider it to be one of the best career books in any of the lines, after a month or two it won me over and I started appreciating it for what it was rather than critiquing it for what it wasn't.
I return. Just to open one eye incase of a wild article.
Just ordered a few books should arrive this week.
Does anybody know if no disintegrations will be available in the next couple of weeks again and the mystics book... will it be in stores/amazon before the february 10th? Ok i think i know the answers... but hope dies last...
Btw wasn't there a thread where people told other people where what book was available?
hope we get something today, i just got cancelled on by everyone for a party. so... article please appear.
Ahh such things are so annoying! Wish u good luck with ur article and merry christmas, otherwise replay kotor, thazs always funny and feeds the sw-hungry

No Disintegrations is currently available on FFG's web store, so you should be able to buy it right now. How long before other online retailers get it, I can't say.
Unlimited Power is unlikely to be available before March, although it could, potentially, be out by the end of February. Which sucks .
And the answer is yes! My Trends thread on the Edge of the Empire board! I try to keep the first post of that thread up to date with the most current predictions for release dates. Feel free to stop by!
Edited by Absol197Hey, they posted an article (about an Elder Signs expansion) today - that probably means that they have articles queued up to auto-post. So we still might get a SW RPG-related article this year - hope lives!
So, here's the thing.
Assuming I'm remotely correct in my prediction, we have about ten weeks left (TEN WHOLE WEEKS ;_; ) before this amazing book is in our hands. However, as of tomorrow, we've already gone exactly fourteen weeks since Unlimited Power was announced. That's ~58.68% of the production time, a fair bit over half, without a preview article.
That, unfortunately, says to me that we're unlikely to have a preview, they're keeping everything back until release. Which...really stinks.
I've also determined that, unlike with other book releases, once we're shipping and people are getting their first copies, I'm going to abstain from all spoilers. I'll still read any FFG articles if I'm wrong about those, but I'm not going to read the threads spoiling the book. With other books, it was some new stuff, more data and such. But this is the Mystic book. I want to see the new stuff fresh.
So yeah. I hate to be the bearer of bad news . I really hope I'm wrong in this instance.
Okay time to hire those Somali Pirates ag...
I mean pray for the safe arrival of the book.

Did someone want me to do something bad again ? *Ghost chirps in the hangar* Oh hush...
Small update; my brothers local hobby shop updated their ETA for Unlimted Power to Feb 17th but still list early March as well on their arrival dates for the book
This does not bode well for the fact that there's now a balance of 75XP floating around my character waiting to either multiclass (again), buy into force powers, or rank up most of my attributes. (Given how squishy I am, it was going to be multiclass again, but I'm tempted to hold a float until the book comes out...)

February 17? Wouldn't that be a dream...
I so badly want to know what those signature abilities are... Even just the titles at this stage...

OMG MEEEE TOOOOOO....
I'm not panicking yet. Could be that it's just the Christmas/New Year's holiday that's been setting off the preview article schedule some, and that something will drop once we're a week or so into the new year.
(/whistle past the graveyard)
force item crafting sounds pretty neat as well.

Technically we don't know that we're getting Alchemical crafting in this book yet. We only know that we're getting one specialization called the Alchemist. While there's a good chance, seeing as most crafting systems appear in the book with the related spec (armor crafting with the Armorer, cybernetics and droids with the Cyber Tech and Droid Tech, ship crafting with the Shipwright), we technically still don't know for sure.
If only they'd give us a preview article to confirm it !
