So in hunting online for the Clone Wars Starters, Dial Pack, CW Squadron Packs, and the card pack I thought we were supposed to get, I was only able to find some of these products, and most of them seemed to be available only for preorder.

Have these been officially released, and if not, when will they be? Navigating the various news feeds is frustrating, and I’m not finding firm release dates. My local game store can’t even figure out what’s been released, what’s coming, or when they can get it.

Can someone tell me where and when I can buy these products reliably? Because that seems to be a bridge too far for FFG.

EDIT: Also, of the online stores that had ANY of these things, NONE of them seemed to have Republic Starter Sets. I’m not buying just Separatists without Republic! What gives?

I received my starter fleet, squadron pack and upgrade card collection yesterday. So yes. As to general availability, I can't answer.

Where did you buy these? And I noticed you said, “Starter Fleet.” Did you only buy one faction? Which one?

This is unbelievable. I can’t even order Republic Starters from FFG’s own website, due to errors updating the shopping cart.

I ordered a Republic Starter fleet, squadrons to match, and an upgrade card pack. I have received the fleet, but not the other bits. I'm in the UK and ordered from BoardGame Extras.

Have you tried Miniature Market? That's where I preordered my Republic starter from ( it just came today 🤗 ). Also It WAS officially released on Dec. 4, and taken off preorder from FFG then. Otherwise maybe GameNerds has it but it seems their preorders were delayed (These are all U.S based).

Boardlandia shipped my Republic Fleet Starter, Upgrade Card Collection, and Republic Squadron Pack, on December 4th, should be arriving Friday. They shipped my Separatist Fleet Starter and Squadron Pack yesterday (I made this as a separate order a couple weeks later than my Republic order).

On Reddit there's a lot of reports of Amazon shipping delays. Not sure how many of those were actually "Sold by Amazon" or marketplace sellers.

On Boardlandia the product pages still say "pre-order", but they're a small team and need to manually edit listings.

I haven't ordered direct from FFG/Asmodee, but I think it's generally said to work best from https://store.us.asmodee.com/ rather than FFG's site.

Distribution to Scandinavia delayed until January. Whatever that actually means on terms of street date.

Oh FFG, you never fail to disappoint.

Pre-ordered direct from FFG several months ago. I purchased the Separatist fleet starter and squadron pack (one of each).

I would recommend to always preorder or you’ll sometimes find it very hard to find the new releases.

Yep, I searched like mad on eBay for a while. Should have checked back here before I overpaid considerably for what appeared to be the last Republic starter on earth and an upgrade card pack. I’d found the other products elsewhere a bit earlier.

Really bugs me that their distribution chains are so poor. My local game store didn’t even know these products existed!

Is it sad that I don’t trust Asmodee to deliver a preorder?

I don’t usually preorder from them. I try to preorder thru a local store and they actually got the new stuff last Monday and let me go in and get it. Cool stuff and miniature market are good places to preorder from if you are an online shopper.

I have to say - all my german stuff came in right on point 👌 I preordered a faction starter and 2 squadron packs for each new faction in my local store and picked it all up on the 4th december.

@Cpt ObVus I always order/preorder my armada stuff from 401 game (Canada) got my CW stuff today 1 starter and 2 squad pack of each faction they have all CW item listed even the republic starter https://store.401games.ca/products/0a6f6e36-8bcf-11ea-f3d6-d438a0f52211 I'm just no sure if they ship to USA or elsewere.

Thanks; unfortunately it’s been my experience that many Canadian stores do not ship to America, many who do charge unreasonably high shipping, and it usually takes a much longer time to get things over the border these days.

Dam those @$#%! I preordered as well from 401 and my order hasn’t even shipped, never mind getting notification! They’ve done this to me before. Guess I have to contact them again. 🤬 😡

I've ordered multiple products direct from Asmodee (Wave 8 pre-order, Wave 9 pre-order, multiple game mats) and have had nothing but positive experiences. (Except for having to pay for shipping on certain orders.)

All I have heard from local game stores indicates that Asmodee’s a nightmare to order from... and that’s for game stores! It doesn’t instill confidence in a retail sale to an individual. In any event, the point is moot, as every time I’ve tried to order from them, I encounter technical problems (like the self-emptying cart from yesterday).

I swear this company has been trying for years to put itself out of business. Unfortunately, their games are far too much fun.

Our local FLGS got in all preorders, no one ordered the dials but everything else was there.
