while it seems mostly evident that we aren't getting wave three in february, unless their going to surprise us this thursday, i have also seen plenty of online stores saying it will be out by the end of the month, with mightyape here in australia specifically predicting the 28th. Even my LGS has said it would out in february earlier this month. have any of you guys seeing anything similar where your from.
wave 3 february release?
New article still promotes a Q1 release date, which is any time between now and end of March.
I'm guessing March 22nd
My money is on the end of March for wave 3. Probably the week of the 25th, which would mean 28th or 29th for it to be on store shelves.

and place it parallel with Adepticon
Hihgly unlikely to be February, we still have a LOT of previews left to go.
Especially with the just announced variant paint-job vulture droid at Adepticon, doesn't that particular week make the most sense?

Wouldn't be the first time a con got stuff early.
I'm personally feeling early to mid April.

It could still come out before the con... No reason to make everyone wait just so the con people can get a different color ship at the same time. We only need 3 more previews, so it could be out on the 21st.
Though I agree it's unlikely, and you're probably right
Probably late March, which is what I always assumed when they said Q1.

It could also reasonably be the week before Adepticon. If it's the week of Adepticon, would these sets be legal to play there?

This is all I want to know. I think I have my list for the Open, but if I’m playing Hyperspace day two I want my ARCs.

Striker and Z. And there's only a week to go in Feb, so unless we get a preview every day this week, release next week seems unlikely.
Not to mention it's very rare for release to happen the week after the last preview.

Did they preview the re-releases last wave? I'm too lazy to look.

They previewed the FO and the T70, yes.
Just now, thespaceinvader said:They previewed the FO and the T70, yes.
So unless they do more than 1 preview per week...we're looking at April.
I wonder whether they might preview the Striker and the Z as one article, given that there's 0 new about them except the Z paintwork, whereas the FO and T70 were new-to-2e at least.
But yeah, I'm expecting early to mid april.

Early to mid April would be quarter 2. A combined article is likely.

You... do remember FFG's record of actually making their 'quarter x' release dates, right?

Pretty good since 1.0 Wave 11 -Wave 12 at least. They’re on the correct trajectory for on course, unlike the estimates of old.

For 1.0 it was mostly miss. For 2.0 it has been dead on so far... Give them the benefit of the doubt for now. Mid to late March is most likely.
I only expect previews for the three remaining prequel-era expansions with previews of the Striker and Z-95 to be part of a larger release-has-happened article. If that big Adepticon event with the special edition droid ship is the end of the March, the Ides of March doesn't seem unrealistically optimistic.
Wave 1 - 13th September
Wave 2 - 13th December
So logic would suggest that Wave 3 will be released on or around 13th March...
