Yeesh, that is one HECK of a delay at (seemingly) short notice. The more things change, the more they stay the same it seems.
New Releases for February 28th

That's nice for your guys. In the UK - based on Dark Sphere's listings, which are usually reasonably accurate - we're only getting the Phase 2 box on the 28th. The SBDs have slipped to March 13th, and we have to wait until the end of March to get both the TX-130 and the AAT.
Yup, still screwed over here. We have the European championships this coming weekend, and they’ve stated today that B2s are legal for the skirmish event - they’re not even released here yet! Asmodee’s distribution is an absolute joke and a sure fire way to eliminate sections of the customer base.
Edited by mini78Can't find anything from the new wave in Poland. I play Republic and Separatists. Official distributor (owned by Asmodee) had a few boxes of Phase 2s but they sold out immediately. It's hard to be a Legion player here.😥
In France, my retailer said that the Coronavirus could apparently lead to even more delays.
Portugal has absolutely no word on the new stuff.
well it isn't Friday in the US yet we'll see what happens.

My US based FLGS reported they were told to expect the shipment of FFG/Asmodee product Friday by noon. Which is a day later than usual, but not alarming yet. They are currently expecting to get the Phase 2s, B2 battle droids, and Sabre tank. Hopefully this doesn't turn into another fiasco like the last release with the last minute one week delay...

Mine are scheduled to arrive tomorrow, so that sounds about right. Also one day later then I usually get FFG shipments.
Anyone else get notified that FFG shorted the distributors on today's releases? (Phase IIs, B2s, Saber Tank.)
My FLGS emailed everyone who had pre-ordered and told them that they only received Tanks, and Asmodee gave them no ETA on when they'll be able to fulfill.
WTF is going on with these guys?

Lots of things. The distribution has been bad for awhile for most/all the miniatures games Asmodee distributes, not just Legion.
Given how many jobs we know about being cut, there's nothing saying something similar isn't happening in other, less visible departments. Asmodee is seemingly being prepared to be sold by the current investment group that owns it.

Let's also not forget the effect the Corona virus is having on their manufacturing base.

Based on past examples of production lead time before distribution, I am guessing this wave was already out the door before the coronavirus was impacting at any meaningful level.
I fully expect it to cause delays in all the products that were announced this winter, however.

My FLGS got everything in pretty sizeable quantities. It got at least 6 boxes of B-2's, Phase 2's, and the Saber tanks. Your distributor may have gotten shafted or somehow dropped the ball.

Yeah I just got notice that only my Phase IIs were in and they had no info on the Sabre Tank, checked around my area and no Sabre Tanks came in anywhere I can find 😔
My store got everything they ordered, granted the order was small. Only 3 of each new thing.
Well regardless of the new products, it doesn't look like the expected restock of existing SKUs has shown up either, at least in the UK. I had 2 CW core sets and a Dewback on order, and while Dark Sphere got the Phase 2's as expected, the older stuff hasn't been moved over to picked & shipped 😑
