still no word?

By R2D3, in X-Wing

So is there still no word on when they will start shipping this to stores? No announcement of this at GenCon?

Im stuck here in London, checking ffg every day in the vain hope that I may find out at least when they may begin to put it on planes/boats to london :(

It is listed as being on the boat. I work for a company that is often at the mercy of waiting for products this way. It can take several weeks to get here, get through customs, and then be shipped to the distributors in the US. My thought is we will see it mid-to-late September.

No official street date even from the LGS owner who was at the show. One of the videos showed a Sept availability but that's all I've seen. I should have gone to the show. It's great that they sold out since they had a huge amount of core sets and boosters at the show. Congrats FFG!

I wouldnt read too much into the FFG 'upcoming' page… it still lists the core set as a Q2 release!…and from past experience, is rarely updated with accurate information! In the past I have had to email to find out about things like this (as they also have no presence on the forums) but this time they havent replied!

Yeah, but the fact that they had them done in time for GenCon tells me that they are manufactured and could feasibly be less than 4 weeks out.

Maesltrom Games (A UK based distributor I use here in New Zealand) has it listed as August 25th. Fingers crossed that's correct, but it'll take a couple of weeks to X-Wing its way over here from the other side of the planet (see what I did there!). It takes a while but free shipping is worth the wait.
