Info from the fb groups, apparently world's entrants recived an email stating the aat won't be on sale in time for the event, and requested any CiS players email them required list numbers so they can use "loaner" tanks in the event...

I feel bad to the people this affects I truly do but in all honesty this cracks me up they just cannot figure it out. Though to be fair this specific delay could have something to do with corona

Shoot, I'm still waiting on B2s and Phase IIs to come into stock. And to make that worse, my Stormtrooper upgrades expansions are in the B2/Phase II preorder.

Classic

As a Canadian GAR player I feel like the AAT will still be out before the Sabre Tank gets to me...

So because the AAT has been delayed, there will be loaners. What about people who can't get ahold of enough Sabres, Phase 2s, or B2s for their lists because of the shortages?

While I'm sure the number of players that applies to are lower, that should be a concern for worlds as well.

At this point i look at my droid army and wonder why did i do this again, oh yeah because of the freakin tank. FFS FFG get your **** together.

... and that boys and girls is how you get one guy at worlds to actually use armor, a loaner tank.

My Saber P2s, B2s and AAT are part of the same order, and don’t ship until they have everything. I’ll never get them. 🥺 😢

My heart says boo , my wallet says yey

Good, I need more time to catch up on painting

Even if the AAT was being released on the 20th, it already would have been the most delayed model in the game's history. What's a few more weeks, right? 🙄

Pretty sure FFG doesn't actually do much with the release, its their parent company. Which has to be frustrating for FFG. I'd be frustrated if my supplier was always delayed, surprised FFG hasn't said enough is enough and looked for a new or in house distribution.

Here I thought one of the starters would still hold that crown.

You might think so, yeah. But the GCW core was released 216 days after it was announced, the CW core was released 204 days after it was announced, and we are currently 222 days after the AAT was announced. Even the Dewbacks released 228 days after they were announced, and that had a very obvious, public reason for their delay.

When they were announced has no bearing on how delayed a unit is.

By delayed I simply mean delay between announcement and release. The average is around 5 months, though that includes all recent releases which have had announce-release windows much longer than average. The mode is closer to 4 months, with the shortest being slightly more than 3. The AAT will be over 8 months when it finally comes out, if not longer.

Any word on the other figures or they're behind schedule in everything? BX droids and Cad Bane / Arc Troopers, Amidala and the other supplies expansion would be helpful to ease up on the frustration.

I feel like whatever factory they are using and port authority is probably sitting there with their hands tied at this point unable to do anything.

May was the projected date for those units. Realistically though, if the AAT is behind schedule, so is everything else.

It wouldn't supprise me if everything got delayed. I'm still hoping the battlefield expansion will arrive more or less on time. Really looking forward to being able to build a mission hand where my occupier can score in every mission.

This is pretty sad.... and it makes me think every other release is going to be even farther back.

I don’t play Seppies, but I feel for you guys for sure.

We have had product (including starters) that had announced/indicated release dates which were later changed. Which is what I consider a delay.

The gap between announcement and release I personally wouldn't term a "delay" since there is always going to be some gap there, unless FFG stops announcing product entirely.

I deeply apologize for using a word that might not have been the 100% most correct choice to describe a product being released 4 months later than is typical.
