It looks like the Balance of the Force expansion is delayed, if i understand it correctly:

Though how something can go from "On the Boat" to back "At the Printer" is a mystery to me.

Sorry, didn't see that this was already being discussed in the thread about the next Force pack:

Lame

I am still hoping for a world debut for it.

I expect it at Worlds as well with attendees either getting a copy or getting early access to them. General release late November or early December. Meaning October is our month "off" which makes sense as we just got an entire Force cycle with a deluxe expansion in the mix as well.

Yeah. LCGs generally have a month off between expansions/big box expansions to give the full cycle or deluxe box a chance to sink in with the player base. Hence a November release of Balance of the Force followed by the second cycle in January.
