You haven’t been paying attention, Crabbok...
Its accepted as just not being updated on the page, as both the Spanish and French versions of the website lists it as “at the printer”
But if it’s only just at the printer there is no chance of us seeing it before the end of the year.
Guess il have to find something else for my family to get my for Christmas
FFG is carefully watching the forums, and every post that someone asks where wave 7 is they push it back a week

No chance?
Could have been at the printer a while and no one saw it... and then, last year, the non-cc stuff was on the boat all of 4 weeks, and shipped 1 to make Christmas deadline.
its still plausible.
It does get more unlikely by the day, but still plausible.

I have to agree with you Crabbok. Even some say it has been updated to the printer in some foreign countries we will not see this wave released before 2018.
I believe that Legion was to blame for this delay. They wanted to get this new game out before Christmas. And also I think they still are play testing MC75.
This is why we don’t get any more info on this ship.
We will see a slow down in release in the future, not because they don’t have new ships they can release, but because it gets more and more difficult to keep this game balanced. They want to be sure that when they release a new ship it won’t be exploited and some one find an unbeatable combo.

I doubt the MC-75 is still in the playtesting phase. I doubt that very much.

I intrepret that as Spain and France will have theres much sooner than English speaking nations! =P
****, nobody expected the Spanish and French inquisitions either!
Edited by KarneckI'm fairly certain FFG is aware they've screwed up this time, but I think the same reason they screwed up is going to prevent repairs for a while to come. They are standing up FFI, no mean feat unto itself, running the non-SW Worlds Championships, and trying to get Legion out the door without the slow trickle of releases that doomed Runewars before Legion finished the job. And that's just what we know about. I know the playtester are excited about this Wave and its ability to "Make Large Ships Great Again", so I'll trust them. I really don't think we're looking at another W2 situation here. It's frustrating, but there's not much we can do.

It's just FFG. Caring for their Armada customers since 2015.
It really feels sometimes like Armada would be the ugly stepsister in FFG's big happy family. But it's a great selling game! Not as great as X-Wing but still....
The incorrectly scaled Legion game is taking priority. That's a ton of plastic. No wonder there's no room at the inn.

Ok Stalker.
I have managed to get a response on the topic via Twitter, whoever is in charge of their social media will apparently be finding out the state of Wave 7 and get an answer to the "is it delayed past xmas" question today. So, assuming they weren't just blowing smoke up my backside, watch this space!

I expect the answer to be appropriately ambiguous.

I'll take ambiguous answers over complete comm silence, it's still an improvement
Plus, where is the official list of scheduled Regionals? Their community support is rapidly approaching total incompetence. Aren't there some scheduled for the Thanksgiving weekend? I wish I knew, but I've only heard that from forum rumors!

True and the optimist in me wants to think that the stealth update on 9/21 which only changed the date but not the status was meant to put it in production. I find it interesting that the Spanish and French sites seem to have more info than the Engish site. I hope that just means those site managers have more time to keep things appropriately updated where the English manager has been so busy they havn't been able to correctly update the status for Armada, while staying on top of everything else... in my dreams wave 7 will be in stores on December 22nd.

Thank you for that, but where is it on this site? I just looked around FFGs site, and I can't find it. It's certainly not prominently listed on the Armada home page, and somehow they don't have the document linked to from their ORGANIZED PLAY TAB. Utterly ridiculous.
Manufacturing delays are nothing new and when you work with people overseas, it causes even more problems in terms of communication, shipping, model review, etc. I actually don't mind the delay, but it is frustrating that they previewed 1/2 the wave's ships and then radio silence. At least give the Rebels the ship stats and point costs.

It is linked, just in a roundabout way, and without the draft tag.
im not on my computer, so I can’t tell you the pathway right now...
but they certainly announced the locations, but not prizes yet...
... or Canada/international...

That's fine, but my point is that for a marquee series of tournaments it shouldn't be a treasure hunt to locate the page. It should, at minimum, be stickied in every Armada forum/subforum so it's impossible to miss.
