Does FFG usually release stuff on a specific day or is it pretty random? For example, WOTC releases Magic the gathering sets on a Friday.
From what I've seen, FFG ships as soon as they get things from the printer and does not try to coordinate a world-wide release date.
Updated first post under Desolation of Hoth to add the Battle of Hoth to OSet 40, not sure how I missed that one. And updated Assault on Echo Base with the more recent list posted earlier on this page.
Updated first post to add this card:
Since the first set number in Edge of Darkness is 69 we know that the last 2 packs of the cycle are only 2x5 sets each.
If Desolation of Hoth will be released in March, I wonder if that will be legal for Regionals in April?

It should be, unless FFG has some wierd force pack legality rule.

It is very likely that they will have such a rule, as they do for thier other LCGs.
can't wait. Hopefully we get an official release date soon.
I don't think FFG ever has an "official release date", until it appears as "In Stores Now!" on the Upcoming page.
Yeah, I also noticed on sites like coolstuff it just sais q1 2013.
I have some good news. According to the local comic book shop, I was told that according to the distributor, Feb 26th is the release date for the first force pack. Can anyone confirm this or have heard this date as well?

That's extremely optimistic. Even if the shipment were to reach the Fantasy Flight Warehouse today, it's supposed to take about 1 to 1 1/2 weeks for the cards to get in the hands of store owners.

True, i did not realize that. I'll keep everyone posted as we get closer to that day but I am not holding my breath that this date will pan out. I still think mid-late march on this release. This is the first I heard of any kind of date so thought I'd share.

My sincere appologies, the Feb 26th date was for X-Wing Miniatures, not for the first force pack. My appologies. However, I will be calling coolstuff soon and see if they can give me a date on this one.

I doubt anyone is going to forget that… but it's not part of the Hoth cycle no matter how awesome it is.
The Desolation of Hoth article states that "you'll find two copies of [sub-zero Defenses] in the [Echo Base Defense] objective set."
Forward Command Post looks to be Objective set 54, not 58.

No as that would put it right after the Jedi OSet number 53. Which leaves no room for the Smugglers OSet that we know is in the pack.
First post updated with info from Battle of Hoth preview article.
Did anyone notice that the Search For Skywalker force pack is on the boat?

Sure did.
According to my local comic book shop's distributer they are saying that the desolation of hoth force pack will be shipping on tuesday and arriving on thursday. I hope that is true =). Also there is a pre-order on amazon saying march 15th.. http://www.amazon.com/Star-Wars-Lcg-Desolation-Force/dp/1616613823/ref=sr_1_1?s=toys-and-games&ie=UTF8&qid=1363008073&sr=1-1&keywords=Desolation+of+Hoth+Force+Pack
Either way I would estimate this should be released this week but definetly next week at the latest ( I hope).
