I've not seen any news since the inital announcement of the game. Very little, if aything has leaked out about this game. A few pics that didn't showcase a lot of anything a long time ago.
If this game is coming next year, where'a all of our news? why have we not gotten anything more about the game? better pics of the minis, etc. etc.
I mean, at least Wings of War is returning... and it's called Wings of Glory. AND we've got pics, news, product information, etc etc. etc. Oh,and it doesn't have anything to do with FFG.
I'm not knocking FFG, I just want to know why we've not gotten anything more about this game. The fans want information and the lack of updates, etc. etc. isn't winning anyone over.
Heck, there's a video game that's coming next year that's got so much anticipation surrounding it, it's crazy. and new information each week comes out. Even if it's a little bit, it's still something.
Come fly the friendly skys with the LingSter... just bring a helmet.

All THAT is certainly No News, mighty Lingster. There's all sorts of threads & posts venting about the selfsame thing. I understand the rules are likely still in a state of flux, but you'd think they could post a pic of an X-Wing or something. Make a passing mention about followup 'boosters.' Something easy, anything.
Thus do I undo all Gordian Knots!
Balanced on the knife-edge of patience, waiting for some words from FFG.
You can teach monkeys to fly better than that!
Well, it could also have a lot to do with the license. It may be that they are being required to not say much due to the agreement with Lucus...

I have to agree with Gobbo on this one.
Lucasfilms is notoriously secretive, so I expect that FFG is having to run every last thing by them as well as keeping it under their hat.
...and it's still pretty early. FFG usually starts teasing us with previews about 3 months out. We're probably a little further than that om release. I strongly suspect that it will be worth the wait.

i have pre ordered my copy from maelstrom games using their christmas money off voucher. not that it will be here for xmas . . .
may the force be with you
I have info that it's coming out in January, but I'm being dismissed by those in the Star Wars card game area. Don't know what to tell you.
Your photo on that board has me pretty much convinced - wanna post it here, too?
Odd that FFG would wait 'til so close to release to announce it (not to mention releasing in the January dead-zone), but stranger things have happened...
Why… are these boards… so… slooooooow?

You know, I had a feeling all along that it would be a January release. I wonder why they (FFG) are so secretive about it. It could be that the Lucas license really does force them to be tight-lipped, as has been suggested elsewhere on the forums. Hopefully we get an official announcement soon.
Some people play to win. I play because it's one of the few ways to fly an X-wing here on Earth!
Here's Will's photo from the LCG board:

Looks pretty legit, in my uninformed opinion. Though I see it still doesn't mention how many ships are in the box (doesn't even show the box, actually)...
Why… are these boards… so… slooooooow?
Good pull, I. Jordan! It does indeed look pretty legit. Thank'a verra much!
I think we have to face the liklihood that, in spite of all our musings/wishings/pleadings that it will indeed be 2+1. That's the only concrete information we have received. If release is indeed January, then the decision would have been nailed down long ago. We can HOPE for more, with the Lucas huttlike conniving, but expect three ships.
STILL, if taken from a typical discount website, I'm game for the cost... for a startup. we'll go from there.
Thus do I undo all Gordian Knots!
I concede that the document does look official. I even went to the Facebook page of Southern Hobby Supply and they announced the release of the two new FFG Star Wars games on Dec. 5. That date coincides with the date on the publication shown in the photo. However, even if FFG is requesting orders by Dec. 30, I'm still not convinced they will be able to deliver the product in time. One source of doubt is the "Upcoming" page. It still lists the Star Wars titles as "At the Printer." The next step is "On the boat" which takes 4 to 6 weeks. Then it has to shipped which takes 1-2 weeks. If everything that can go wrong does go wrong, and we see the maximum of these time ranges, it will take at least 2 months to get these games. A more optimistic view puts it out in January assuming that it gets on the boat in the next week or so. If it takes longer to finish up the printing and assemble the games, it could take longer. Alternatively, it may be on the boats already and the "upcoming" page simply has not been updated, in which case a January release is totally plausible. But it still seems fushigi (mysterious/strange) that we've had no updates if it's coming out next month.
Yes, I'm starting to find it really hard to believe we'll be seeing this/these game(s) within the next month. Surely they'd have cranked up the PR machine by now, if that were so.
I don't get Prometheus 'til June, I don't get X-Wing 'til who knows... somebody gimme something!!! 
Why… are these boards… so… slooooooow?
Well, F-Toys' Collection 5 has just been announced, for February. Revell's two new SW kits are slated for January. And Old Republic is supposed to be out this month, I believe!
Thus do I undo all Gordian Knots!
IG-58, are you playing TOR now? I'd love to read your thoughts about it (on whatever appropriate board you may be sharing them).
Really sure we won't be seeing X-Wing in January now. In the meantime, I bought my son FFG's Talisman for Xmas, and it's lots of fun... we've already bought one expansion, and we'll be going back for more soon. So, yay FFG, but boo lack of news.
