Wave 13 Pre-order??

By BVRCH, in X-Wing

Now let me preface this post in saying that I don't pay close attention to FFG's product page, but I happened upon the resistance bomber listing today and it states its available for pre-order.

None of the wave 12 ships have this tag, and state 'not yet released'. same with guns for hire.

What does this mean? Why are they tagged differently? Has anyone seen this with previous releases?

I was able to preorder wave 12 ships in my LFGS, but not wave 13, last week.

Though it was through a very crude excel file, probably not through the official distributor in Canada.

I see, my LGS has taken names as placeholders, but no official pre-orders yet as they said they haven't received release info on any of it yet.

It's been showing the pre order message for around 2 weeks now:

Despite what the preview article says (early 2018) I'd be surprised if they weren't available alongside the movie/Christmas.

But personally I'm much more interested in when Wave 12 is coming out! :P

Looks like I'm not the only one perplexed by this.. :P

Me too, I want wave 12 and guns for hire already!!

Yeah, surely Guns For Hire should be arriving any time now.

You would think. Hopefully in the next week or so.

I feel like they are really kneecapping themselves with release timing if they don't get GfH out very soon, considering they will want wave 13 out as close to the movie as possible for maximum hype/profit.

I was hoping G4H was going to be last week of September/start of October, but all's quiet so far. Something will be out in time for the Last Jedi and the holiday season. Not sure what it'll be yet.

And we're still waiting on one unannounced SKU!

Yeah who knows. To be honest I can't believe they've announced so much stuff in one hit (so to speak).

About that SKU. I'm thinking it'll be scum as a lot of others have guessed, I think it might be DJ's ship, and I'm thinking we might see him for the first time in the extended trailer due out next week. Hopefully we will get an announcement along with the trailer release.

That's definitely a possibility. The alternative would be that it's the next Aces/Veterans box, and might be announced following the release of Guns For Hire.

For the Phantom and Punisher. Plz.

My guess is wave 12 is the last wave going through the older distribution channels.

I'd love that. Although I don't really think they will drop that so close to guns for hire. It's a possibility though. I'm hoping for a rebel veterans pack after the grand finale of the rebels TV show.
