How long on that boat?

By Batei, in Dust Tactics

Does anyone remember how long ago the heavy walkers and the Cerebus campaign showed up as "on the boat" and how long that typically means until they hit store shelves? I know they were originally listed as Nov/Dec way back when, but I with so many delays affecting shipping these days I am curious if these little jewels will actually make it under the Christmas tree this year. Any wisdom out there with a good reason(s) one way or another?

I emailed germangames.com and asked when they expected them in, and the response was December. They have been pretty accurate for me in the past with Dust Tactics items.

I definitely hope they arrive soon. December seems like a busy month for FFG with all the items they seem to be releasing.

I seriously doubt that they will be on time due to christmas delays and shipping companys would likely be more concirned about how many Plasma TVs, X-Box 360s, and Tickle me Elmos, they can fit on there trucks to satisfy the Big Box Stores that the'll set aside other stuff to fill that order at least thats how I see it working out so to me it looks more like Jan B4 we'll see the Heavy Walkers and Dust Warfare.

See you on the Battlefield

My Bad just looked up the upcoming list 4 Dust Tactics and it seems they've moved things around the Hero Exspansion packs and Heavy Command packs as well as the Dust Warfare rulebook have been moved to the top of the list the Heavy Walkers are last on the shipping list!

They are listed in alphabetical order. First grouped as what stage they are, then alphabetical by game title, then (within) alphabetical by item game. Also, either one of those ships is real slow, or it turned around to pick up the rest.
