Just got a mail from my x-wing online retailer of choice (escapade gaming gear) that my preorder of the TIE Reaper has been shipped. That means I should have it tomorrow, but you never know with Swedish mail, might be on Monday.
Update: The mail stating that they shipped the stuff to me was erroneously sent out. No TIE Reaper just yet.

That would potentially make it legal for the European Championships?
SUDDENLY ALL MY PLANS ARE CHANGING
Ooh, that's really tight on the deadline to have it legal for European Championships.
I had it on relatively good authority that it was going to miss the Euros deadline by a few days. It's the official store date that's going to matter... this could go right to the wire, especially as Euros starts on a Friday so we lose a day.
I think it's still not Euros legal, but so so so **** close...
?
Welp. If it releases next week they will have to take a call on it for Euros.
A big, big call.
I'd bet they release it on 31st though. Two weeks for shipping is not unheard of.
It would be cool if the kept it out of the main event and hyperspace but made it legal for Hangar Bays.

Thursday's the day we get the "available now" articles. All eyes will be on FFG's news page tonight!

Personally I would be ABSOLUELY fine with the TIE Reaper and Saw's Partisans being legal for Euros.
It will, after all, probably be the last big X-Wing Organised Play UK event of 1st Edition... let's send 1st Edition off with a bang, with some crazy janky squadbuilding.

While Swedish mail can be slow 2 weeks of shipping inside Sweden is unheard of.

Shipping now means 'going from the warehouses to the FLGSes', not 'going from the FLGSes to the end users'. It shouldn't be going to the end users until the status changes to 'available now'.

No, his 'shipping' notification is from the FLGS to his house.

No, this shipping from the store to me, I had a bunch of other stuff on the same order that are special made things they only they have like Grip Inserts that is shipped in the same package.

o_O
Your FLGS may have jumped the gun a bit, then.
E: Yeah, I assumed you meant that the status had changed on the upcoming page, which it still hasn't, it's still down as On the BOat at the moment. Chances of formal release announcement before 31 May at the earliest seem slim.
But if you do get it early, be sure to spoil everything ASAP

There is still an unrevealed card in the pack, and whatever 2nd edition holds. I sure hope so you can provide the community with some tasty pictures

There have been a couple of the usual rumours going around that Wave 14 has already arrived at various stores, and they're just waiting for the official "on sale now" announcement.

So maybe a release article today?

Fingers crossed. As @thespaceinvader says though, the end of the month is more typical for X-Wing. But there's also the Conversion Kit unboxing tomorrow as well, so who knows?
Just noticed a first edition reprint of the humble X-wing is on the same boat. That seems... odd?

That would fit with a retail release of May 24th, aka "Opening Day for Solo ."
I really hope we are getting the new wave next Thursday, I NEED my Partisans.
