Crabbok reported in a new video a June 5 release for Iden, Cassian and Vital assets.

I just received notification from my LGS that my order for the Imperial, Rebel, Scum, Republic, and Separatist Damage Decks has been fulfilled. But those Damage Decks are supposed to be released June 5th.

I wonder if that means my LGS will receive the AAT, Vital Assets, Iden, and Cassian expansions sooner than June?

It's sounding like the official release date as of today for a bunch of stuff including legion is June 5th

MAYbe is the official FFG answer.

Soon™

Heard word that Alliance has a target date of May 18 to reopen.

Man I just want distribution to resume for the old stuff. I have a ton of credit built up on CSI and was going to spend it all on Legion...but NOOOO. Still out of stock :(

So this was a thing shared in a facebook group.

Sounds like this thread should be renamed, " June release ?".

Sounds about right on the dates.

Most game shops should be reopened by then.

Maybe not. Fantasy Flight just posted they were starting to ship again and had updated the Upcoming page. Legion wasn’t updated.

So I don't know if this counts for anything but I think Amazon got stock of Iden. I saw she was up for sale yesterday and ordered 2. It looks like they've been shipped from amazon, so FFG could be shipping out stock as we speak.

I received my vital assests, Iden and Cassian today. Wasn‘t event expecting them.

Did you get the normal confirmation email before they shipped?

They probably used Iden's infiltration keyword.

When did you preorder?

What a cluster......

Can confirm amazon is shipping Iden. I received mine yesterday from amazon as ordered on monday.

Great, so those who ordered directly or from Amazon get their stuff, but the guys who try and support their FLGS get the shaft..... This is getting old quick.

Standard old FFG and Legion. It’s never been good to the LGS for legion.

How they get this so wrong and get xwing pretty close is so confusing — when I preorder Xwing from my LGS they typically have them within the week of release. Usually a few days late but nothing I’m not willing to wait.

Legion? Lol - they never got phase 2s or b2s. Never got Rex. Just one big inconsistent cluster.

Games workshop already learned that lesson. Seems like Asmodee/FFG still has to do so.

To be fair, I'm also picking up a couple copies from my FLGS. Iden is the only mini so far that I'm painting 1 for each pose.

I pre-ordered direct from FFG but haven’t gotten anything. If it follows past examples, for a June 5 release, I should get a confirmation email tomorrow then shipment by next Friday. We shall see.

I was wondering... has there been an official explanation why Legion players in Europe have received the new Legion expansions?

Because what I've read is that the new Legion expansions arrived in Europe first, FFG instructed those retailers to hold them until stock arrived in NA, but they didn't and started selling them.

And now it seems that, in NA, retailers are sporadically receiving Legion stock and selling them ahead of the June 5th release date.

Any word at all from FFG/Asmodee about this?

And what does this mean for future release dates?
