You really do have to keep an eye on The Zon, availability and prices change there all the time.

I check my wish list there daily to see what they are up to...

No joke! Everything appears to be back in stock.

Maybe some manager somewhere saw that they sold out of them in like 6 or so hours, and told the wearhouse crews there was now a $150 bounty on every box of X-Wing expansion packs that they can find.

FFG still has X's and TF's listed as on the boat, and Y's and TA's as at the printer. Miniture Market Has X's and Y's listed out of stock.

So unless somehow Amazon is getting wave 1 ahead of everyone else, they must be finding them somewhere else.

Mental note: Add BS scalper companies to list of businesses to never shop from. Thanks Amazon for giving us reasonable first party prices.

I think with as fast as they are restocking that amazon is/does have new shipments and with their robust network of warehouses and distribution they are able to get them up for sale quicker than others. They aren't just finding hundreds of wave 1 expansions laying around at almost the same time as the reprints are about to be here. I imagine nxt week or even later today we are going to see them everywhere. In your local stores on the shelves very soon. Just my thoughts, according to my wife I am wrong all the time.

+1 on the gougers being sleemos.

But FFG isn't a massive company that has world wild distribution. They have a wearhouse in Roseville, and ship out from there, as far as I know.

Plus according to FFG's web page, Tie Advanced and Y-Wings are still being printed. So unless they aren't updating that page for some reason... There's no way Amazon can have those 2 ships in stock from the latest reprint.

Like I said, I could be wrong. Just using a little deductive reasoning and concluding that a company like amazon who's whole business is warehousing and distributing and does it better than most anyone (except maybe wal-mart) doesn't misplace hundreds of items and then just find them. I would bet my lunch that the smaller company (FFG) has missed out on updating their page that doesn't generate money (ie no sales from the tracking page) in lieu of getting product out the door to make the cash roll in. Again all conjecture on my part. All I know for sure is I watched at least 30 y's sell out at least twice yesterday and they are back in stock now not to mention the advances, ties, and x's that were selling. It could have been a crate of x wing expansions that went missing and got found, but then what was found would have been posted and that would have been the end of it. Yet, there is this repeated restocking that leads me to believe there is more supply coming in. Time will tell but I'm gonna bet I'm buying some wave 1 reprints again next week.

It can happen, most of it is computerized, it only takes a small box being placed in slightly the wrong place and the computer has no clue where it's went.

Y-Wings are finally understood by the public and they are the hot item they always should have been!!!

I just ordered 1 tie advanced and 2 y-Wing and both are in stock and my order was processed. Good thing I'm planning a trip in the US in 3 weeks, will be able to pick them up there.

I have a relative that works as a regional warehouse manager for Amazon. They may be a large company, but they still rely on people (not that well paid or educated) to scan and stock the shelves in those warehouses. Them losing boxes is not all that unlikely.

If it were just x's and ties I would agree that they're just getting their stuff listed first (maybe) but considering how often FFG updates their status page with everything, I really doubt they just forgot to update y's and tie advances being on the boat.

Actually, there is an easy way to test our hypothesis. It seems unlikely that multiple warehouses would lose their stock. So if the items are shipping from different locations then they probably got new shipments. If the all ship from the same location then it's probably found stock.

When you buy from Amazon they give you tracking numbers that will tell you what city it's shipping from. So if everybody could say where theirs shipped from we can solve this little mystery.

Mine shipped from Philly. My roommate is going to order some stuff today, we'll see where that ships from and report back.

Thank you for letting us know. Here I was about to bid $25 on ebay for a Tie Advanced.

I just completed my order of y wings and tie advanceds to Michigan. I'll look into where it ships from next.

It is possible that Amazon had dibs on the first shipment of Wave 1 reprints. The stock available to others could still be on the boat.

If anyone who has already had them shipped can check the shipment tracking we can probably figure out what happened. I have 2 hypothosis. One they are shipping out of FFG who are either using up there inventory expecting more in soon or have received the wave 1 stuff to their warehouse. Or two, Amazon have received the shipment direct from the ship to a distribution center near the port. Thier replenishent being either unloading more of the shipment or it having arived at second location today.

This store now has TIE Advanced and Y-Wing in stock, so looks like those ships are part of the restock.

Both my TIE/x1 and Y wing were sent from Lawnside NJ. So what do you hypothesize this means?

Anything is possible, but it seems very unlikely that the whole run sent over so far would be exclusively Amazons.

I for one doubt that they sell more stuff then other online retailers like Miniture Market. Plus it's pretty bad form for a publisher to offer a retailer such a deal. That hurts other retailers and doing so is not a wise thing for FFG to do.

Plus it still doesn't answer the question of how Amazon is getting Y-Wings and Tie Advanced when they're still listed as being at the Printer. FFG has so far been rather good about keeping their Upcoming page updated, keeping that page updated would be part of their over all marketing, which means an increase in sales.

One they are shipping out of FFG

At one point FFG staff members told someone that even they can't get their hands on Y-Wings. Plus what company in their right mind is going to sit on stock that there is a demand for?

Keeping stuff in the warehouse costs them money. Keeping stuff in the warehouse that's sold out not only costs them money it means a loss of sales, and possible future sales because people get out of the game because they can't get what they want.

Or two, Amazon have received the shipment direct from the ship to a distribution center near the port.

Based on the Upcoming page, it doesn't work that way. It goes directly from the printer to FFG warehouse and gets shipped out from there.

Like I said, I could be wrong. Just using a little deductive reasoning and concluding that a company like amazon who's whole business is warehousing and distributing and does it better than most anyone (except maybe wal-mart) doesn't misplace hundreds of items and then just find them.

Yup. Anyone who's worked retail in even a modestly sized store knows how easily stock can vanish. The computer says you still have one... but no one seems to know where it is. And then it gets discovered four months later hidden behind half a dozen other items on the opposite side of the store, two months after the bi-annual inventory was conducted that may (or may not - just because the inventory people find an item doesn't meant that they know it's in the wrong spot) have written the missing inventory off. I still remember one time when I helped to completely dismantle some shelving supports at a store, and we found a piece of product that had managed to slip between the supports where no one could see it. Mind you, it was product that the store hadn't carried for several years...

So it wouldn't surprise me at all if Amazon somehow managed to mislay a case or two of fighters that only just now were discovered.

Both my TIE/x1 and Y wing were sent from Lawnside NJ. So what do you hypothesize this means?

Side note: these are printed in China, so if Amazon was getting stuff directly somehow you'd expect west coast warehouses to get them first. I live in California, so shipping to me from Philly seems to indicate no west coast warehouses had them yet.

This is fun for no really good reason...

Guys, correct me if I am wrong, but the reprints for Wave 1 were supposed to have updated, or better paint jobs. Am I correct? If this is just old stock laying around they found, then the paint jobs could be subpar when compared to the new batch FFG was working on. Any thoughts? I'd hate to buy these on Amazon, and then the real new shipments come with much better detail and paint. Sorry if this is a dumb question.

The reprints should of had better paint jobs then the very fist run of X's and TF's yes. But that doesn't mean each printing is better then the last.

Just ordered 4 Y-wings, at $14.99 each, direct from Amazon with Prime. Haven't seen them this low in months (always third party rip off prices).
