My beef with this is that the game was supposed to be released in the summer of 2012 according to the recent updates leading to the Gen Con announcement. Sure, Gen Con will happen in August, but only a small amount of people can go to that, so to the rest of us, it won't be released in summer, more like Fall. That makes me feel sort of lied to, because when I read "Coming this summer" I read it as "You will be able to play it this summer" which is now a complete fallacy. It's not my fault I have a wedding to go to during Gen Con weekend!
It's not Fall until Sept 22nd. This will probably be close :)

Bimyou da naa.
There's no good translation for that Japanese, but basically it's expressing how borderline that is. Oh well. It won't get here till it gets here.
As for the comments above, I think the comment about a lower quality product at GenCon was in jest. Of course it's the same product (we all agree) and therefore, the comment about the delay being due to touch-ups is falsified. It's a logical argument.
Now, from a certain point of view, one could state that earlier touch-ups lead to delays in manufacturing, causing them to require fast shipping for GenCon and a later retail release. Then we would all be right.
Typically with new products, not yet released and being released at GenCon, this is the case. The company gets a quantity of the product specially shipped (by air) to have for the convention.
The rest are being shipped by boat, which takes a significantly longer time to arrive, as well as longer for incidentals such as customs, unloading, loading for transport to the company, etc. Then, the products are shipped to FFG, who then sorts them and reships the product back out to retailers. There is more time used up there as well.
That is why there is usually a 2-4 week delay between the product being sold at GenCon and the product being available at your FLGS.

Yes, I think we've got the message pretty clear now that this is SOP. Thank you.
What gets me is that on the upcoming products page it still says X-wing is slated for a Q2 release and is at the printer. I wonder if they'll even let us know when it gets on the boats. Actually, I'm pretty sure they'll let us know as soon as that happens. They're a good company.

Some people play to win. I play because it's one of the few ways to fly an X-wing here on Earth!
One benefit to the delay: some of us bought and paid for our preorders so long ago that when we do receive them, it'll seem like we're getting the game for free! 
Why… are these boards… so… slooooooow?
