Why not update?

It's been 7 weeks since Han & Commandos have been on the boat and some have gotten their hands on them at Gen Con already. The Spanish site also has hard release dates for them and Boba & Scouts. Right now I feel that the U.S. is going to have to wait an extra week or 2 just like we had to for snowtroopers.

Hey now, don't forget about KEYFORGE!

1) The US FFG Upcoming page is more like guidelines than actual rules. On the boat also says "generally 4-6 weeks" meaning that it sometimes takes more time, sometimes less. There are innumerable reasons international shipments get delayed.

2) The switch over isn't automated, some intern has to be told to go update the page.

3) "Shipping" is listed as taking 7-10 days, so why should they switch over prior to actually shipping the products? The Spanish site release date is still 3 weeks from now. Distributors and stores don't want product they have to sit on for a long time. If they can't sell the item, it is just taking up space in the warehouse or backroom (which at my FLGS is basically a glorified walk-in closet to maximize play area). That's space that could be occupied by product they can sell to keep the lights on.
