I'm not preordering JACK; I'll wait until I see it in the stores, I'll look at the box and the models and see if it's even worth my time & money to get started. It's not like you won't be able to find any!
Yep, me too (thought I know myself well enough that I probably won't be able to resist). And I hope you're right that they will be easy enough to find.
I just have to say, I love how this is the post we keep coming back to. Lingster should get an award for getting it started 
Some people play to win. I play because it's one of the few ways to fly an X-wing here on Earth!
It was MM's preorder price that lured me in. This type of stuff usually sells strictly for MSRP around these parts, and that's pretty heavy.
Definitely wouldn't buy in bulk, though; one of each ship will do for me until I figure out if this game is fun or not. 
Why… are these boards… so… slooooooow?

So the "Upcoming" news was updated on 4/16 and still lists the game as "2nd Quarter 2012". The news release said "…this summer…". Would that mean that X-Wing will be released sometime between June 21st and Jun 30th►
Or am I so desperate for concrete release date information that I am grasping at straws►
Q3 started today. Maybe they are talking about Australian summer 2012?

I'm pretty sure we've got one month left of Q2. But I'm not expecting this game before August.
True. Maths and me not friends.

I finally got a response about card sleeves, and it had more to do with the fact that I sent the first request to the wrong department. Anyway, they had this to say:
"The information will be available around the time when X-Wings take to the skies! Stay tuned to our web site for all of the latest news!"
So I guess I have to get my card sleeves after the game is released.
Techniccally X-Wings already took to the skies a long time ago, albeit in a galaxy far, far away….
"Truth has power. And if we all gravitate toward similar ideas, maybe we do so because those ideas are true…written deep within us. And when we hear the truth, even if we don't understand it, we feel that truth resonate within us…vibrating with our unconscious wisdom. Perhaps the truth is not learned by us, but rather, the truth is re-called…re-membered…re-cognized…as that which is already inside us." Peter Solomon, The Lost Symbol

I love all the exclamation marks in that response. It's like, "Thanks for the email! We're not gonna tell you a damn thing! Isn't that exciting?!?"

Sounds like a pre-fabricated cut-and-paste response to me. That's probably the answer they give to any question about the game.

Ah yes. Now that you mention it, DogSolitude, it does indeed seem like a cut-and-paste response.

Which doesn't surprise me. Best way to keep someone from accidentally letting out more information than you want is to not give them a choice on how to answer stuff. The canned response is like a deflector shield.

I honestly don't know why everyone is pre-ordering this, especially in bulk. That seems a little reckless. I'm not preordering JACK; I'll wait until I see it in the stores, I'll look at the box and the models and see if it's even worth my time & money to get started. It's not like you won't be able to find any!
Well, I can only answer for myself, obviously, but my reasons for pre-ordering are:
The ships APPEAR to be well done (at least much better than the bendy WotC crap)
The rules APPEAR to be pretty straight-forward and fun (based on the demo videos)
The minis and rules seem to be at least 'spiritual' successors to Wings of War, which I liked
Even if the rules turn out to suck, there are plenty of other rules I could use decent SW ships with
As for pre-ordering in BULK, well…I suffer from delusions of grandure. I always picture huge epic battles in my head, even if they rarely materialize.
Also, like the previous poster mentioned, one third off at MM and free shipping suckered me in to increasing the size of my order.
And I always go overboard. Always. :(
EDIT: I should add that FFGs handling of this release thus far isn't making me happy or confident, but all I want is OT anyway, so if this dies not long after release of the second wave (assuming we ever get the first) I'll be ok with that…or at least be able to deal with it.
I think it's safe to say that the game will be out for GenCon. Hopefully the SW LCG will be, too.

One would think, though I wouldn't place any bets at this point.
The main reason I preordered everything was because of the Star Wars name 
The other reason was that my online store of choice had money off if you preordered all the expansion packs in one order. I'm sure the quality will be magnificent though, so I don't really have any worries.
