Delivery delayed in Australia

By TheEldarGuy, in Star Wars: Legion

I was recently told, that We (in Australia) probably won't be seeing the Legion game until mid/late March. Apparently it was slated to appear late Jan or early Feb.

The FFG distribution to the antipodeans is too often delayed.

We have money and We are ready to spend...

It’s releasing March 22nd for everyone.

Its already taking up valuable storeroom space in several Australian Retailers

There are photos of Australian distributors with the product from last month. FFG is shooting for a worldwide release on March 22nd, which is the officially announced release date.

The three or four Retailers I use for all my gaming kit in Melbourne, use the same Distributor for the FFG Minis (I'm guessing an exclusive contract?), and they get no word of 'actual' confirmed release dates.

It could be the distie is playing games or just being a tool, but I'm inclined to believe the retailers when they tell me they don't know.

The official release date was announced on this website, and is the worldwide release date. https://www.fantasyflightgames.com/en/news/2018/1/29/the-imperial-march-1/

It is common for Australia to have the FFG miniatures products arrive at the distributor early as it comes direct from China, rather than going to the States first. Release dates are still set by FFG and obviously have to wait till product is in the US and ready to ship etc.

Yeah, we get our own container straight to us downunder as they have to pack it upside down so that when we open it it doesn't all fall out
