Was at Gen Con in indy yesterday and saw wave 3 and 4 for sale. So I would expect them to go online for sale within the next week or so. They did not have Correllian Conflict for sale though.

From FFG's site, it looks like Wave 4 will be available "4th quarter" - so maybe a good Black Friday/Christmas release? I'd be shocked (happily so) if they're both available in the next couple weeks.
Armada is starting to pick up with increasing variety of ships available to it with these waves. I'm hoping that will mean local interest in Armada in our area will pick up; we've got about 4-5 players in the area, but I can never catch anybody for a game - they'd rather play X-wing.

Oh, well that sucks. I was going to try and save some money at miniature market and wait a few weeks. Now I kinda wish I would have spent the extra 20. What I'm really excited for is the new campaign. I want to use that for getting my locals more into it. As far as I know, I'm the only one in my area that plays. I have to drive to the st. louis area to get games in.

Ships looked awesome at Gencon. The promise of more cruiser variety - especially smaller ones- is what's finally getting me to take the plunge and get the game for me and my wife. Giant Impstars the size of a pizza slice are great, but larger fleets with variety is what get's me going.
Also geeked about them finally coming out with some of the additional fighters I love, like TIE Defenders.
Bummer that with online discounts going up, buying the same stuff (starter, dice, couple of cruisers, maybe fighters)to start the game as last year will cost me 50+ dollars more to get right now.
Still impressive models.

Looks like wave 3 and 4 are "shipping now", so yeah probably within the next couple of weeks. Corellian Conflict is at the printer, so that will be longer.

Went by my FLGS today, picked up the Gozanti cruisers and Interdictor today.
I haven't had a chance to play with it yet, but it really looks like you can make a game build with 2 immolators that will shut down an enemy ship completely (reducing it to 0 move, thus also making it unable to use defense tokens). Should be devastating when using with a fair number of squadrons, or if you can get to the rear before springing the trap.
