Potential Release Date of New Wave

By j_man_04, in X-Wing

I was just updating my Amazon Wish List of X-Ships I want/need and Saw's Renegade's Expansion already has an Amazon product page. It says "in stock on July 31, 2018."

Maybe this was common knowledge. Maybe it wasn't.

Sadly, Amazon release dates are notoriously inaccurate when it comes to this stuff.

Incoming new wave!

They probably just added it as a placeholder. They do that sometimes

It’s a Tuesday, and it’s the last day of the month, and I believe Amazon always gets their stuff after stores. It’s a really safe bet this is a placeholder.

I'm pretty sure we get an Amazon prediction date and reminders of how unreliable they are with every past and present wave

Amazon dates are very rarely correct. The most reliable predictor has been the Spanish ffg website. They get intel before we do.

How off has Amazon been in the past? We talking a few weeks or months off? Late July seems like a decent estimation based on the original article announcement date.

I think late May, early June is more likely.

As much as two months +/- IIRC.

Late May is basically impossible at this point - that's 6 weeks, which is the minimum shipping time (and let's be honest, FFG have literally never met minimum shipping time, except for air-freighting a small number of Strikers and U Wings to 'release' the wave before the movie), when the things are still at the printer. I'd expect late June, personally, at the earliest.

Which is a shame, I'd love to have them for Euros, even if they wouldn't be legal then. And my birthday is the week before Euros :(
