So did Wave 4 release is some areas of world, but not others?

By eagletsi111, in X-Wing

Aussie here with MOST of wave 4 in my hands.

The N1 starfighter expansions seem to be in short supply.

My FLGS didn't get any but received the rest of the wave.

Good Point. I forgot the points are not revealed yet. Very Interesting. Feel sorry for those Ausses who got their stuff and cannot use it, until FFG Allows. It's like buyinga car, but not being able to drive it for a month until the Dealer says it's ok. You can look at it, but not much else :) . Almost Feels dirty to me

Quick Builds are able to be played. I am in Aus but my FLGS where I have my pre-order told me their shipment is delayed until next Tuesday while other stores in the same city already have theirs. With a big game day set for Monday at said FLGS, that feels almost as bad as no points

I'm going to make a guess that Australia's distributor gets their consignments sent straight from China, rather than being shipped to the US and then shipped to the final destinations as it appears to be for the rest of the world. This means that if there was a shipping delay between printer and the US warehouse, it would hold up the release for everyone but the Aussies.

That would be a huge waste.

From what I've heard (at least some) non-US distributors have the wave sitting in warehouses, waiting for the release day. I also heard that FFG is atrocious at communicating with distributors so it's likely Australians didn't know the wave is delayed.

This is exactly what I heard happened for us Aussies. FFG never officially informed our distributors that there was a delay. So everything went as scheduled and it was all released on the 6th.
