Pretty sure my local store ran out of Republic ships within hours.
FLGS stock of Wave 3
We have everything left except the Sep squad pack. The droids have moved really well in my area.
My local store only got a very little in excess of what was pre-ordered. I think there was an Infiltrator, 3 Zs and 3 Strikers left by the end of the day Thursday and maybe two of those ships have sold since then. I assume we'll be getting more in this coming week.
There's still a whole bunch of first edition stuff on the shelf (at 20% off), not moving because everyone already has all those things.
Pretty sure our store has a bit of everything except Strikers and Z's. Still have several 1st edition packs of those.
I see via FB that my FLGS got the Delta fighter in stock as well as a restock of GoR. No phone call saying my order was in though.
Was in a shop yesterday with plenty of 2.0 stock including the latest wave, but my preorder from another shop still hasn't even shown signs of dispatching. Hope I won't have to wait too much longer...
A couple of shops has Aethersprites, Servants, ARC and Infiltrators. Some have nothing at all with no word from the supplier. None of them have received Guardians or the single Vulture.
Rang my supplier today as my products still had not been dispatched. He said 50% of his stock Guardians, vulture and Strife packs have been deleyed and it could take 2 more weeks.
Luckly I pre-ordered soon enough that I got all my stuff apart from the Guardians pack so I cancelled my order of the guardians pack and then ordered it from eBay insted. Hopefully I'll get everything next week.
(I'm in the UK)
Pre-order. Pre-order. Pre-order.
If nobody pre-orders the store will have to guess how many they need, and will not want to over order. Avoei disappointment, and help your FLGS by pre-ordering.
FLGS had one or two of each of Wave III left when I checked yesterday. I had to restrain myself from stiff arming the entire shelf into my metaphorical cart.
Well they got my order in yesterday, (the Sith Infiltrator feels really small to me) and guess what, there was a small pile of Wave 3 merch that other people had ordered. I think my FLGS got the hint and maybe they should stock some of this wave.

I pre ordered everything. I still only received half my order, with no idea when the rest is coming. Preorders are not guarantees.

Same here, the store I pre-ordered from didn't receive enough Servants of Strife packs to fulfill their pre-orders, and they got half the wave a week late.
So far I have 2 Sith Infiltrators and a Vulture Droid.

It's not a guarantee, but your store will at least order more hold you a copy (if they get one). If you don't pre-order you can't have any expectations that there will be one in store.
I mean, that's a supply issue more than anything. I don't think its unreasonable to assume a store that sells xwing would have them on the shelf. A store can't survive on preorders
Still waiting for stuff to get in stock over here.
Yeah, in the UK even the preorders didn't get filled.
I didn't preorder because I'm sick of not knowing the release date or the points. I managed to buy 1 Jedi and 2 Arcs after release, but squadron pack is completely gone now.
Doesn't really matter to be honest, I'll just wait to see what's worth buying and get in later.

Yeah, I managed to get the second to last squadron pack available on ebay on the 29th March after my original supplier was sold out. I think they have all gone now though.
Edited by K13R4NCost an extra £7 though :(
yeah X-wing has a diminishing playerbase. still a big game, but its not compared to 2 or 3 years ago.
I work conventions for a living and a bunch of my collegues who sell game stuff have put their X-wing stock on clearance and cant move it.
between diminishing playerbase from 2.0 problems and the pace they release, its just not profitable to carry FFG stock for vendors
I thought it was more that they didn't get the stuff they ordered?

There's one on amazon for £45, that's all I can find. I will politely decline!
