Been accused of having a crappy Christmas list over the years, and do not want to hear it again this year.
Do we know if Wave VII will be out before Christmas? If not, I will have to add fodder to the list to get people off my case.
Can only have so many LA Kings hats and shirts......
No
We have been Twitter-informed previously that it is 2018 now due to “unforeseen” delays

t likely.
Be an optimist.
I know they said it wouldn't, but I can dream, can't I?
Do we know when in 2018? I’m hoping before March 1st.
Well then,
Go Kings Go!
Before Christmas 2018? Yes.

"Early 2018"
At least that is what they replied to me on twitter.
I'm somewhat conflicted on early 2018 release. I'd love to have the new ships for sure, but dropping new product right in the middle of regional season seems...I dunno... You just get practice'd with a build you like against common archetypes for the big date and then wham, meta gets blown wide open perhaps leaving you as little as two weeks to adjust...
Thoughts?

Happened last year with W5. It had a dramatic impact on Regionals, but... I dunno, it doesn't seem like a big negative to me. Early Regionals are duking it out with established archetypes, and execution skill is more heavily weighted; late Regionals are more heavily weighted for list-building and innovation skill. It does make comparing results across Regionalses more challenging, but I don't think there's really a great time of year that will avoid some kind of issue like this.
It's either right in the middle of SC/Regionals season and you can't track results across all SC/Regionals, or it's right before Regionals or Nationals or Worlds season and nobody has time to prepare and there's no crucible for the established archetypes of the previous wave, or it's right after Regionals or Nationals or Worlds and you get cries of "****, if only I'd had XXX for YYY event!"

I HATE the idea of "Metas" and so a shake up like that makes me ecstatic. If a person builds their list to fight what they expect to play they'll have weaknesses in other areas. Learn your list and learn how to fight ideas, not specific ships, then people will be fine. This is a similar issue i have with people that flip out over the Sloane FAQ, the 1 issue people have with her vagueness isn't really make or break. If them being able to use the brace/redirect to reduce the 1 point of damage difference the person's so gung-ho on getting they prob don't deserve it.
(sorry if this reads weird, i replaced a lot of the you/yours with they/thems to make it clear i wasn't talking about sky specifically, just the vague idea of people being too serious about rules).
