So the Force Awakens starter is supposed to be released tomorrow. Does anyone know if single blisters of the T70 xwing and new Tie fighter will be available? Also, as LSG won't get the stuff on Friday, what other retailers will have it? Target, Barnes and Noble???

We don't know if it's released or announced tomorrow for sure, do we?
As for blisters, there's a few other mystery product codes, so I'd say it's a safe bet.

I talked to the owner of a LGS and he said that the gaming stores are only able to order it on Friday. Large market retailers will get it for sale tomorrow along with all the other Force Awakens toys and whatnot. I just would like to know where I can go to get it - I figured I'd go out at lunch tomorrow. There is a Barnes and Noble pretty close and a Target a bit farther away. Walmart might also get it with everything else.

Well, I'm afraid I can't help with likely venues, as despite the shenanigans my flag is pulling right now, I'm UK based.
Nice to know its imminent though!

It's definitely going to be in target, people have found it in target's inventory system and a few have posted pics of its sku already on shelves waiting for the product to be put out (essentially getting ready for putting everything out tonight)
From there, no one knows. Not a single pic of a blister has been leaked for either ship, nor have sku's in stores been found. It's a safe bet to say that we will only see the new starter tomorrow, that's it. As for what stores, all we know is target. I think Toys R Us has a decent shot of having it (they're MUCH better about keeping their warehouse stuff under wraps) and possibly Barnes and Noble. Unfortunately, flgs's probably won't get it till a few weeks later, as they'll have to order it on Friday once it's "officially" announced

The good news: Theres a Target right across the parking lot!
The bad news: My office is on the exact opposite end (diagonally) of a 1 million sqf building and a 600 car parking lot from said Target, and the doors are on the opposite side of our respective buildings. Womp womp. So much for my lunch break.

It's hard to say about the blisters. We know that the starter has been leaked, but that could be because Target decided to sell off the old X-wing starters and messed up. They could easily have the blisters in the back, but just not have messed up on those.

No leaks for the blisters yet, so it's a safe bet to say that they haven't been distributed to any stores yet.

Given the pattern that FFG has established with X-Wing (iirc only the starter was initially available, the blisters appeared sometime later), and Armada (Starter only at release), I wouldnt be surprised if tomorrow is another starter only release, with the blisters to follow in a month (likely to give FLGS an opportunity to get some sales since the big box stores will prolly generate most of the starter set sales).

Messaged my local FLGS and while they know it's coming, they've had no information with regards to ordering or availability.

The original core set and the Wave 1 expansions (X-wing, Y-wing, TIE fighter, & TIE Advanced) were all released at the same time. Armada would have been the same way but they had distribution issues as we all well know.

Is this in the US or will stores elsewhere get them too? I might have to swing by my LFGS tomorrow if so.

All signs point towards a US thing only, confined primarily to Target department stores. The word from multiple FLGSs is that they will be able to order them tomorrow. Automatically Appended Next Post: By the way:

I'm also happy to report that the TIE fighters are indeed new sculpts.

Hoping to grab a set on my way home from work today. One advantage of living in a rural area is that things tend to stay on the shelves a little longer. Also going to try to grab some Lego sets, especially the First Order transport.

Go to my gallery and zoom in.
The surface of the cockpit ball is different, the rear is different, inside wing brace is different.

In addition to the new ships and pilot cards:
New asteroids
New Damage deck
Only 5 upgrade cards (seems like they are really going for an introduction to the game
here) Interestingly enough, they didn't do an upgrade on the Proton Torpedo...
Maneuver Templates have marks for the Tallon Roll and Signor's Loop

I saw the Omega Ace - WOW - if you don't mind spending a lot of points on it - you could get 4 crits are range 1. Make sure you have a pilot with squad leader handing it a focus.
Omega Ace + Experimental Iinterface + Expose.
At range one, that would be 4 auto crits. WOW

Is that at all Targets that it's released? Cuz my local gaming store didn't get any, and I might have to check Target now. There's also a Barnes and Knoble right across the street from there, so doesn't hurt to check there too.
I just want new ships, grrrrrrr.
