Evening.

Just been on Facebook, and Promethean Games have advised they're soon to have restocks of both Slave 1 and the Falcon.

Get to your ships, and may the force be with you!

I was lucky and grabbed the falcon when it came out by chance to have just for display, just started to get into the game and man are people jealous because I have it.. Tho I need to keep an eye out for the FireSpray. I have my eyes set on the most wanted box, love the idea of duel use for some of my rebel ships!

Local Hobby Town USA got some in stock, they are not sure if it was just old stock the warehouse sent out or new, but they for two Slave 1 and a Falcon. Also Barnes and Nobles online site had the Falcon instock today(and at a discounted retail price!)

Im not sure its been an issue for stock in the US? I might be wrong though, the UK has been without em for some time though - at least 3-4 months IIRC.

Same issue in the US since October at least going by a friend who been hunting to buy both. Very hard to find, most options are way over priced on ebay and amazon.

This is what I call growth pains. They just need to not be afraid to let stores have some over stock. If I was a new played I'd be scared to join the game if I saw a $15 model at $45 (a wing on amazon hit that high) then the falcon and slave 1 where going between $80 to $120 depending on the site. Base Xwing, Ywing, Bwing all where jacked up in prices.

It is a pain in the bahookie.

I got into it just when the Falcon was starting to sell through (first purchase was the Wave 4 ships), and at that point didn't really understand how long restocks can take.

But hey, plenty of toys out there for now! Gonna pick up Falcon, Slave-1 and Imperial Shuttle this month.

The shuttle is pretty sweet my friend got one. Some cool combos with it and other ships. I want to grab a slave one myself for use with S&V when they hit. Most wanted box set looks sweet. Like the idea of duel use for my headhunters, y wing and HWK

Ah fair enough then Aaron!

Sounds like in the UK retailers will be getting half of what they asked for if our experience is anything to go by.

Blimey, you weren't kidding!

Plenty of Slave-1's to be had (at least at the time of writing), but Falcons have flown the coop!
