Anybody have any info? Waves near the holiday season always involve a bit more planning!

No idea. It's FFG so.

If you mean Saw's Renegades, the two Huge ships, and the like? Well, my (late) preorder of the CR90 and Epic Battles has shipped and is suppose to get here tomorrow. Other then that, no clue.

Mostly Epic news lately. Wave 6 was announced on August 1st. Nothing about it since.

As in, how to farm out the gift-getting?? 😉 🤣

A thing to note, a few FFG things that were stated for Q4 release seem to be delayed like Armada's next wave and some of the Legion releases.

Honestly expect it for the last week or two of December but don't be surprised if it gets pushed to January.

That is unless B&N jump the gun again.

I would call it at least a month after we get a preview for one of the two new sequel era ships. Even that seems optimistic.

I've already spent entirely too much in the course of two months on the game, and am planning on spending another $150 on Rebel Alliance stuff. But I'll have to wait for next year for that . Which hopefully means all the ships I want to buy will be released already.

Course, I have $250 worth of Galactic Empire ships I've mostly talked myself into buying too. Which again will have to wait till next year. I have enough Empire stuff for an okay 200 point list, but the more I look at the Rebel ships I want, the more I think to myself "Self, you should get more Empire stuff so any opponent you're supplying ships for has some choices beyond just what pilots to use." ****, I've talked myself into picking up the Imperial Raider on the grounds of "it wouldn't be fair to have a Rebel huge ship but not an Empire huge ship."

But again, since I'll have to wait till next year the timing of releases should favor me.

Epic is probably Nov 8. This is the conversion kit, mission box, and the cr90 and c-roc rerelease.

I am guessing wave 6 is early 2020 but if it’s right before Christmas awesome. I can’t see it happening faster than mid December

Have you seen this?

Mid-Dec would be my guess, has anyone seen any spoilers of the Fireball pilot abilities yet?

There’s a leak going around discord allegedly from ffg that Vonreg and fireball isn’t until Feb. the rereleases are in December

I've seen it. And while it's true I'll likely be spending $500+ all told due to changing my mind about picking up more Empire stuff, I am not spending it all at once. It'll be more the case of picking up a ship or two a month. Well, other then last month. Last month I got the core set, Millennium Falcon, and a Tie Advanced X1. Oh, and managed to scrounge up the funds to pick up a B Wing as well. Oh, and I ended up getting a pack of additional dice since 3 each is no where near enough. This month I'm only getting one ship and the Epic Battles expansion. The problem is that the ship is the Tantive IV expansion, which costs a hundred dollars.

Actually, now that I think about it... Epic Battles is rather diabolic in one respect. It actually encourages you to buy up to six of the same small ships. You know, since you need 3 to 6 of the same starfighter for a Wing.

This mentality is exactly what kept my rebels and empire balanced until my buddy finally bought in and went scum for his own collection.

I guess what I'm saying is that soon I'm gonna best man in his wedding and it was a great choice because this game is awesome and helps make great friends and get closer to those who also love it!

So I guess...dont worry about/regret your purchasing decisions? It's all gonna work out great? Yeah.

"While we work out the details with FFG’s representatives, Evan has already been so kind as to forward us the release windows for upcoming X-Wing products! It’s important to note that these are not final and may change for a variety of reasons, but the dates we’ve been given are:

wow for those of us not overly interested in Epic this is a long time till new standard playable content. thanks for the info though.

Hopefully the new pilots for rebels, Scum & Imperials in the hotshots pack are enough to keep players only in those factions interested still once it finally arrives.

Ew gross.

Those are literally the only things I'm looking forward to right now. Hoping they've pushed it back so they can release it alongside something else they already have cooking...

So everything good is pushed to February : /

I'm guessing it's because there are other ships being launched alongside the re-releases in December but because they are tied to the new movie FFG can't announce them yet.

Hopeful of course, but I'd actually be surprised at this. Given the sparse information and notable misfires in 1.0 dev previously (no K2-S0, Poe at PS8, no names for many of the pilots for T-70/resistance bomber) I'd rather we get a delayed release from the movie if the information is correct.

It is a super feels-bad for First Order who needs some variety, and the cardpack and TIE/ba both getting a February release is brutal.

Not a chance. We’d likely know about it by now. My guess is some snafu somewhere derailed them so they decided to break up the wave rather than delay it all...

Aside from epic I’m pretty stoked about the mission box and the last conversion kit. But yeah, extremely disappointed that my pilots AND my tie baron are all being shoved way to the back.

Thats a pretty big bummer for me, as the FO have seen nothing new since the conversion to second edition.

Not likely - there’s been enough mishaps with that over the course of 1.0 they won’t do it. Not unless Disney has given them super secrets that they’ve been unwilling to share before.

Also, with this short a lead time until the movie, I imagine we’d know by now. I find it much more plausible that issues caused delays, not hidden new products. The track record over the past year tends to suggest I’m right.

Seems that my prediction of the TIE/ba, Vonreg’s TIE, being branded the TIE/bah-humbug were correct... it being delayed is going to put a dampener on Christmas for some!

Waiting till February that's lousy. My FO lists are already stale.

It would be neat if theres a movie tie in but I kinda doubt it

I'm hoping for a Servants/Guardians 3 ship pack

Tie/wi with two Sith Daggers would be nice for FO.

Maybe the new look Poe Fighter and a couple of new B or Y wings for a resistance pack?

Would be nice with holidays and the movie on the horizon

QS =D
