I am pretty sure the models are within 230.4 trillion miles of you right now.

 Dude!!! That's awesome!! My friends are all gonna flip when they here this!! I was wondering why there wernt any posts about wave 3… Thanks for the tip Hothie!

Exclamation point!!!

…kidding. Just kidding here people, simmer down. 

Considering that the B-Wing and TIE Bomber are the only original trilogy starfighters that have yet to appear, I don't know anyone who isn't betting on them being in Wave 3.  Now, what size base they'll be on is right up there with Astronauts vs. Cavemen, but that's another debate.

(Just kidding.  They'll be on standard sized bases and if you don't think so you're wrong! ;-p )

FFG just posted an A-Wing Expansion Pack preview. And in the last paragraph they said this-

"The A-Wing Expansion Pack for X-Wing is scheduled to arrive at your local retailer by February 28th, along with the Millennium Falcon, Slave I, and TIE Interceptor Expansion Packs!"

I can't believe it's finally happening!

Great now the forums are going to run even slower dew to all the hype post  :)

Wait, is it physically possible for the forums to run any slower?

Apparently i spoke too soon. I should have known it wasn't Thursday yet.

Probably so, but there would have to be tachyons and relativistic speeds involved.

And speaking of relativistic speeds, where are our ships? I hope FFG didn't let Threepio talk to the navicomputer on the delivery freighter again… last time it got suicidal and threatened to jump us into the Maw unless we shut him up. 

The store closest to me HAS  all of the wave 2 models IN STOCK. But they are refusing to sell until the 28th.

Seeing I know a few mail order companies can get the stuff to me on or just after that day for easily 35% less than the local will be charging…I see no reason to buy from them.

Retailers usually get new products before the release date so that they will be on the shelves that day. The retailers are not allowed to sell those products before the relese date, and doing so could jeopardize their ability to get more product and possibly lead to legal action.

It's funny, though: in the latest update, they say Wave 2 should be on shelves "by February 28th"… that says to me that retailers should have the freedom to get 'em out early! :)

I don't know of any company that allows LGS's to sell early. Most have a clause that mean a shop is caught selling early, they have to wait six months after a product's release to be able to get it

it all depends on when FFG has told them when they are allowed to sell the product, it has nothing to do with what the public thinks

end of story!

FFG does not set "street dates" at all.
