I went over to the Code 3 offices and warehouse today to pick up my Falcon (a little late). Haven't opened it yet, but damn are the two boxes big, and the one with the Falcon HEAVY!
I chatted briefly with one of their reps who helped me lug the stuff out to my car, and the only info I managed to squeeze out of him, was that he expected the X-Wings to be ready to ship sometime in NOVEMBER!! He said they're just about all ready to go. I find that a little hard to believe personally, especially after the rep at the Comic Con said the Falcon would for sure be the only set for this year.
Of course I pryed a little further and asked the fella what's on tap next, after the X-Wing, and he gave me the expected answer "I have no idea". To which I retorted, "Yes you do. Now make a fanboy's day and 'fess up!" Needless to say, he didn't bite. He said they've secured a number of different ship licenses, so it could be any one of those, and that he honestly didn't know.
So if he's actually telling the truth, the X-Wing's going to hit much sooner than expected, but then there might be a bit of a lull in the process since the next ship has yet to be chosen. Or perhaps they've already built a number of different prototypes, and just haven't decided which one's next up for the manufacturing process...
Sounds like most of the "non-modelers" are really enjoying this piece so far. Adam, any more to say on it?
