All current releases are being pushed back April 2020, and looking forward anticipated releases after are being pushed back a month. Releases will resume as normal hopefully in May, but due to the unknowable-ness of how long this pandemic will last, they may adjust that further back.

Seems smart, but all I can think now is how Barns and Noble will be the only distributor of new X-wing product until summer 😭

I understand it, but with how the delays already existed before covid I am concerned about how long it’ll be in the end, and how inconsistently deployed the release will be when it is sent out.

I can understand how it would affect distribution and production of later waves, but given the utter steam pile disaster Wave 6 was, how much is excuse how much is reason?
At the end of the day it’s still just toys and a game, people are dying everyday because of Covid, so I’m all ok with things not being available until later in the year.

This, still no trace of even the Huge ship conversion here (Europe).

Absolutely not wanting to be the doomsayer and party-pooper, but we have a major recession incoming. Hopefully it will be short, otherwise even FFG might fall.

shocker!!!lol
