So what is the actual release date

By drummerc, in Star Wars: Legion

According to the article announcing the release date for Legion we will see it release on March 22nd which coincides with Adepticon, but according to the review of the Rebel Trooper Unit expansion we will see them on March 8th. FFG, what is the release date?

All is released on March 22nd except Leia and Fleet Troopers. Those are Wave 2.

All from SWL12 on is later.

FFG very quickly edited it back to show 22nd March.

veers and snowtroopers are also not going to be released in March, the only info we have is April, from the Spanish FFG page.

From where did you get that info if you don't mind my asking? http://www.fantasyflightgames.es/en_desarrollo still has Veers and Snowtrooper as April, and Leia and Fleet as May. I'm just curious to see if the Spanish site is going to continue being a good indicator of release.

Recall that before the announcement of March for Legion, the prevailing thought was February, but the Spanish site had March listed before the official annoucement.

Directly at a convention, or somewhere online?

the Aussie distributor also has April and May for Veers and Leia respectively

"Lets Play Games is the Distributor:
https://now.letsplaygames.com.au/miniatures/star-wars-legion.html?limit=50
While we can't buy from them they have a release date that reflects what the others are saying. Like the others I believe they have had it for a while already."

I suspect at the moment that is place holder dates based on the articles.

Just checked, it is actually April and May. Apparently I can’t read today.

No worries, I have days like that as well :D

Well FFG says on it's news:

You can look for the General Veers Commander Expansion (SWL10) at your local retailer in the first quarter of 2018!

You can pre-order your copies of the Snowtroopers Unit Expansion (SWL11) at your local retailer or online through our website today, and look for them to release in the first quarter of 2018!

Since the first quarter ends with march a release with the rest on the 22nd seems likely.

my guess is those are simply mistakes like the rebel troopers announcing the release as March 8 and other misprints.

I noticed on the FFG Website that Generl Veers and the Snow Trooper are already on the boat but Leia and the Fleet Troopers are only at the printers, will they both be released at the same time?

Rumour has it no. The Spanish FFG site says Snowtroopers and Veers in April, Leia and Fleet trooper in May. That could of course change as we have not had an official announcement from FFG akin to the Imperial March update.

If you look at the recent post from FFG with the OP for SW:L it says at the beginning:

The Core Set and the initial offering of eight expansions

So all units except Veers, Leisa, Fleet Troopers and Snow Troopers will be around at march 22nd for release. I think that solves it ;)

So I had this on an email from a retailer, I hope it’s right!

The latest news from Star Wars Legion is the new Snowtrooper and General Veers Packs which are due out in April. We have also been advised that FFG will be launching 2 new packs a month for the rest of 2018 so they are putting some serious weight behind this game.

If this is true, I’m a very happy Star Wars fan.

That’s what trade sales are currently saying - Veers/Snowtroopers for April (preorder cutoff end March) and Leia/Fleet Troopers in May (preorder cutoff end April).

At least it's not the price of freedom.
