Looks like big problems with Fridays releases?!

By Mesrob, in X-Wing

Guys, my FLGS just posted this on their Facebook page:

"Unfortunately due to production and shipping issues related to COVID-19, we will be receiving an allocated amount of both the MtG Zendikar Rising Set Boosters, as well as the new wave of X-Wing ships from Fantasy Flight. We will do our best to fufill our pre-orders from those who placed them first and work our way down the list. As the restocks come in we will continue to work through our pre-orders , but unfortunately the situation is out of our hands. We appreciate your patience and understanding, and will do our absolute best to get your favorite games to you as soon as possible."

Has anybody else talked to their LGS about problems with this Friday's Xwing releases?

I am in the United States.

What is the rush?

Good point, everyone wants their new plastic crack but how many of us are actually playing in person?

For me, its not a case of rushing, but trying to get my purchases as they release help me balance playing far too many games and avoid a backlog of things to buy costing me a fortune in the future!

That said, the only ship I'm interested in in this wave is the LAAT, so its not the end of the world!

I echo this as well. I sure hope there arn’t issues, but apparently you can’t even buy it off of amazon?!? (And before yall tell me to go support my flgs, I have none- it closed down about a month into 2.0 😢 😢 😢 )

I'm not trying to freak out, but if you play SW Legion like I do, then if stuff sells out on release day, then good luck getting your stuff at a fair price. It could be months or a year before they get restock, or you are forced to pay scalper prices on ebay. Just trying to help you all out.

Yup, I’ve seen this happen before. I’m genuinely worried about my LGS preorder.

I’m in Texas and actually got a call from the LGS yesterday saying my shipment (1 Xi, 3x HMP) was already in.
