I know we don't have exact release dates yet but can I please get the projected release dates for both the beginner's boxed set and the RPG hardcover?

Thanks! I hope pre-orders start soon!

According to the Upcoming section of Fantasy Flight Games sight, the Beginner's Box is expected by December 2012. It is currently "at the Printer". There is no date for the Full Edge of the Empire book as of yet, other than a general 2013.
