Still no AAT or B2's

By XR8rGREAT, in Star Wars: Legion

Because there is no street date for the AAT we still dont have access to it in NZ as retailers wont release the small amount they have. The B2's very few made it in but now all gone. What is a CIS player to do? There is only so many times I can play the same list.

COME ON FFG.

As a fellow kiwi, thankfully our local had some come in and sold em. But yeah, it's all getting a tad frustrating. The whole Legion situation is rather a muddle.

Who was that as M.A. has said they have received them but until they get a street date they won’t release them and only got enough for a few pre orders. I didn’t pre order as I didn’t want my $120 tied up for months.

Yeah I noticed M.A is all still pending, for lots of their other hobby stuff too. I'm surprised really, as I'd you look on trademe you can order from the AAT from Gameology in Oz. (I've ordered stuff from them before and they are pretty good)

Just not sure on how long I could be waiting if I order from aus atm with all the restrictions with covid.

It's about 10-14 working days. I just had stuff arrive today and it took 10 working days. Again it was all cardboard so hard to mess up!

Honestly, it sounds janky but the Lego figurines are almost the same scale. Buy some Lego B2s and glue them to some premium bases. Print the cards off. lol

The mere mention of gluing Lego brings me to tears...

I'm in Canada and one of my retailers just got the AAT. I signed up for an e-mail alert for the AAT, Vital Assets and Iden. Got the email at 9:15 AM on Monday, by the time I got onto the site to order 45 minutes later all of the Idens were already gone 😭 . I managed to snag some B2s a couple weeks ago but it took some digging. Now I'm just waiting for more Phase IIs, cant find those fellas anywhere.

Fewer and fewer retailers here are stocking FFG products because of how hard it is to keep getting stock. And then there are the people who buy far more then they need. Which just amplify the issue.

do Cerberus do online orders and Shipping? Toyco are out of stock plus $75 plus shipping is a bit steep for 6 figures

Might wait till I’m down in Wellington next. $12 shipping makes them $82

I can't speak about NZ, but here in Canada, the AAT, Vital Assets, Iden Versio, and Cassian Andor expansions were all released Friday June 5, on schedule. I pre-ordered them from my LGS months ago and I received the fulfillment notification Friday morning and picked them up in the afternoon.

Based on Crabbok's AAT unboxing and assembly video, it seems that board game stores received stock of AATs on schedule for the street release date, but the Asmodee Store hasn't shipped their pre-orders yet, which is strange. IME the opposite is true, so I'm uncertain what's going on. Perhaps Asmodee fired all of their workers because of the pandemic and there's no one in the shipping department to ship out the pre-orders for the Asmodee Store.

My LGS has to wait until July to get the new releases. Alliance's contract is ending and ACD's starts in July. From what I can tell it looks like Asmodee decided not to let Alliance ship FFG's new releases in June since they had already stopped shipping because of COVID anyway.

My AAT just shipped today from miniature market

My FLGS (in the US) just got a bunch of Asmodee distributed items in on Friday. AAT, Vital Assets, Iden, Cassian, and new Song of Ice and Fire miniatures that I know of, they implied they had gotten even more stuff that is distributed by Asmodee.

Talking with the manager and employees, distribution is a bit jumbled still for all game distributors in the US, even the few that were able to stay open throughout everything.

Got my Cassian and K2 expansion in the mail yesterday.

Does Miniature Market ship to NZ? I just checked and they have all the new expansions in stock. Who knows how long they'll last, though.

I know they do international shipping, nothing is listed on their site about excluding NZ.

plenty of places ship to NZ but shipping costs make it not cost effective .

Yeah shipping down here can end up almost doubling the cost plus very long shipping times. Covid certainly hasn't helped shipping times either.
