It looks like pre-order for Wave VII is now available...

https://shop.fantasyflightgames.com/preorders/create/SWM29/

So, from past experience, does this give us a rough estimate of date of release?

*Soon*

It was between now and the heat-Death of the universe. I think we can now push it at least between now and the time the sun consumes the planet. Maybe even between now and the depletion of global oil reserves.

A little optimistic, are we?

I put my Chimaera on pre-order this past weekend, though I did so from my FLGS, rather than directly from Fantasy Flight.

I am still assuming this wave will not be out till some time January............ Sadly............. as I NEED THAT CHIMAERA and also Thrawn I guess.....

The last update we had was early 2018.

But historically early in the year has been closer to march.

Do you have the actual history on that?

I don’t expect to see armada until a month or two after legion which I don’t expect until February. My best guess is armada wave 7 in March as the earliest date for release and possibly not until April.

I think we end up with a double wave of 7 and 8.

Someone with the inclination (not me) should go back through the forum and catalogue the data from all the woe-is-us threads on the forum. Then we might know what the projections have been, and how long delayed the actual arrivals have been.

You know, this would not surprise me.

I suspect we'll see Wave 7 late in Q2 of 2018, shortly before Gencon 2018.

Really? As late as almost August?

That is little faith...

Well, I put my pre order in yesterday with the supplier (Boardgamesextras, UK) saying there's solid potential for them to arrive before Christmas, so I'm gonna hold out hope. It's what rebellions (and apparently FFG miniature games) are built on

If memory serves, didn't we have a similar carry-on last year and they did arrive on time? Or was that the year before?

Gonna be pretty sad if its past...

heck. I'm already sad.

Last year. The timeframe however, was short and tight on whether they would arrive on time with a massive delay for the corellian conflict box... but they were stated Christmas, and they made Christmas.. barely...

thd difference to this year, is this year we have been specifically told they were delayed and will arrive 2018 .

Don’t we all, I’d like something set around the Rebels tv series or maybe Rogue One
