SWEET!

Our next R2-Detroit meeting (SE Michigan Chapter of the Star Wars FanForce) is on the 15th.  Maybe i'll have them in hand to show everyone and get some people excited enough to want to play.

not a fan of Miniature Market, so I'll wait for my FLGS.

Potomac Distributors has the expected shipping date listed as September 30th

Amazon seller Funagain Games has release date listed as September 19th

Dave and Adams Card World has the release date listed as September 15th

CoolStuff (where I ordered mine) still just says Summer 2012

I even saw one site that still had the release date as July 12th

The FLGS I use in the UK has it listed as being available from the 12th September.

My wife will be relieved. I've been talking about this game since GenCon 2011. It's about time!

Im in the UK. Which FLGS is this??

Just called Miniature Market about this release date. I wanted to get it shipped overnight but was suprised to find they do not offer any expidited shipping!

The rep I spoke with said they have no release date and no intentions of it shipping this week. He has no idea how this rumor started but has been getting calls all day.

I talked to the owner of my local game store, where I am also a part time employee, and his vendor said it is shipping this week and it will be at the store on Thursday! Sooo excited to play this

It is possible that this is all a conspiracy by Star Trek fans to cause Star Wars fans heads to explode.  I suspect that there is no offical release date so no one can complain if it's a couple days late or not.

But it seems to be pretty solid that it's going to be shipping in the next 10 days.  Sooner is better, but as long as it hits my doorstep by the 28th, I'll be a happy camper.

 Did you guys see that post on BGG? Some guys says he just picked it up at Target. I checked the store locator, and sure enough, some Target stores appear to have them in stock. Why did Target get it before the real game stores?

It's not available online at Target.  I also did a search of several cities in 3 different states (CA, AZ, and CT) and all said they were out of stock.  Anyone else have any luck? 

 Well, when I used the store locator from the X-Wing page on Target.com and typed in West Lafayette, IN, it pulled up a couple of stores in Indiana (one in Indianapolis) that said it was "in stock."

I just did a search for West Lafayette, IN and sure enough it says in stock at a few locations.  Anyone have a visual to confirm this?  One report can be a fluke, but if others are actually seeing it I'm hopeful.  I may even go and buy one just to get my hands on it sooner. Maybe that's the point.

Be aware that the TARGET Stores that DO have them "in stock" or in "limited stock" may just have the Core Set, and not any of the Expansions.

I'm thinking about giving the two stores on Indy's north side a call tomorrow to confirm, or not that they have the game actually in stock.
