Does anyone know when wave 2 ships will be back in stock? I am not willing to pay $40 for a TIE Interceptor on Amazon and all of the local shops cannot get them.
Wave 2 restock?
Barnes and Nobles has had them in stock for retail. Just picked up three of the Tie Interceptors and 3 A-Wings the other day. $12.95 each I think.
though i have no right to speak for FFG, but getting to know how this company operates over the past few months; i think i speak for everyone in general when i say "nobody knows" the best thing you can do is keep in contact with your local gaming stores if they have any updates on shipping orders, i'm sure they would be happy to let you know.. have you tried making a pre order at one of your Local game shops? at least then you could garauntee an order when it does arrive.
Wave 2 restock is delayed by the furious counting of the profits of the first two waves… We will be right with you after we get through with our Scrooge McDuck swim in the vault…

More like. Holy crap we sold out already? **** make more faster… We can't keep up.
It is rather rude to attribute malice to this.
Seems like the whole "tease them with Kessel Run product to build up demand for when the delayed shipment finally arrives" strategy worked. I'm sure their printer is working at capacity.
Tie Int, A wing, Y wing…. Back instock at Coolstuff (at least for a bit).
Ready…. GO!

Im sure they dont but I have a mental image of a kid in some sweat shop trying to paint ties faster and faster just in time for christmas maybe.

Excellent. Just ordered a whole batch of TIE/INs. Now I need to get paid again to I can buy more.

Thanks for the tip, I just ordered a couple Tie Interceptors.
Raised the price of the Tie Interceptor to $20
Ordered mine right before posting and they were $12.99 (A wing and Tie Int)… Demand dictates price.

You got that right.. glad I got mine when I did.. 20 bucks for the tie interceptors…seems a bit steep…even for cool stuff. 15 bucks for the A wing is not that bad.
It is the wave 1 X-Wing, Y-Wing and Tie Fighter I am having problems finding.
Really glad I hit them at 12.99. At $20 a pop, I'd have waited for a better deal.
Managed to get all except the X-Wing expansion (can't have an x-wing game without Wedge!). Working out at an average €20 per product including the core game, Slave 1 and MF and not even counting the extra set of dice so not too bad and all after shipping costs from the UK and US to Ireland.
The X-Wing expansion is just too expensive to be worth while, seeing it for $8-10 but with $30+ shipping costs which is just ridiculous. Sick companies using shipping costs to jack up the cost especially when it arraives and you can see that the cost was less than half what they charged. FFG really need to re-release Wave 1 again to stop their fans and customers getting ripped off. Cannot really afford any more but will get the B-Wing if/when released and would be all over the E-Wing if they ever do it.
Hmm, interesting, since my B&N didn't have any, and couldn't find any of the Wave 2 stuff listed, so may need to get on-line myself.
Needless to say, I was very disappointed.
They are out there but you have to be vigilant in your search. I pre-ordered some Wave 2 but did not get my full order. I then picked up more online from a retailer. I then found some more for friends from a retailer in another state.
Wow… 26 bucks for the tie fighter interceptor at coolstuff…they raised the price another 6 dollars! Yeah time to call around and see if any stores have them for 15 bucks. No way im paying that much for one small ship.
Just checked eBay, and the cheapest ships are the Y-Wing for $13 including S/H:
You can also get the TIE Advanced for $13 including S/H:
Other than that looks like you are going to be paying above retail (sometimes way above retail). But, if you need one of these two, these prices aren't too bad.
I feel somewhat lucky. I have a B&N by my house and my FLGS have all Wave 1 in stock as of today, but no A Wings or TIE Inters.
Someone on another site I frequent (its not X-Wing related, but an X-Wing conversation came up) said they e-mailed FFG about how disappointed they were that they couldn't find TIE Interceptors for less than $40. FFG told them not to buy those for $40 and to hold off as they are expecting a restock around the end of April.
I pretty much have everything I need right now, and I payed MSRP or lower for all of it (even with shipping included), so I am pretty happy, but I know others are still looking for things. Here's hoping everyone else can get what they are looking for too!
I want more wave 2. But I know they are making more so I will not be foolish enough to pay more for something that I can get for retail if I am patient.

Yep, all the key Australian gaming stores are predicting Interceptors, etc, will be back in late April.
