And now out of the large pool of lehigh valley players I associate with they ALL want to play D6 Star Wars. Just when I am trying to push Masks...
Though our best times were had in D6.

I've been drooling over Paizo's recent Starfinder but I'm finding the d20 system a hard sell, as always (I burned out that candle LONG ago). Could d6 handle it with some hacking, do you think?
Edit: Oh man, it so could. *salivates faintly*

I really want the FFG reprint but FFG's new European distributor sucks balls - I've been waiting on one FFG Star Wars splat book since LAST October: it was reprinted but never got distributed over here again (after one sell out initial release) and now we're waiting on its next reprint (again). The old distributor wasn't very good but this newish one is worse, even though it's bigger. Not using a tiny FLGs either, using Wayland games UK. Aaron

There's pages of complaints on FFG forum about it's European distribution. It'd be easier for to hit up few relatives in Oz and get them to send me the books from there, as many folks in Europe have been doing exactly that to get the stuff. Which put to rest the arguement that FFG are only supplying their domestic market and ignoring the RoW: since Oz is being supplied better than Europe and Oz is part of the RoW. It's only the Star Wars lines that are affect, everything else is well supplied. Aaron

JUst play D6 Kainguru!!! Give in to the OSR even if playing a Jedi sucks in it! I WANT to - it's not an OSR problem it's an FFG's European Distributors suck problem. They changed distributors, must 2 years ago now, because the old ones were problematic but not impossible. We were promised great things with the new deal - what we got was worse service, worse supply . . . there is literally no point playing any FFG Star Wars (unless you are willing to pay over the odds prices for direct imports). STILL waiting for special modifications to come into stock Aaron

So hold on, aren’t FFG owned by Asmodee? Who also own the distributors Esdevium? They are normally pretty good.

Not for Star Wars FFG. It’s not just the UK - it’s all of the EU, the distribution is basically fucked and the FLGS are getting screwed too. Wayland Games (Game Suppliers online) aren’t even told when they’ll have stock delivered - it just arrives when it arrives and they get what they get with no accounting for back orders or anything. They sent me long explanation about what’s happened at their end and it’s backed up similar things reported on the FFG Forum. Note that FFG stopped officially supporting the forum not long after these complaints first started to appear (hear no evil) Aaron

I managed to get a copy of Special Modifications, but I'm waiting for Fully Operational and Codes and Cyphers.

I wish I knew! I pre-ordered it from FFG directlt soon after it was first announced. On their "Upcoming" products page it's been listed as "On the Boat" for a month now. After that, even once it starts shipping I'm not expecting to get mine until April! And I feel I'm being optimistic with that.
So what I ordered as a Christmas present to myself might end up being a birthday present (Apr 22) instead...

I feel your pain! I ordered a copy from a Canadian retailer, I live in Canada and shipping from the states can get nasty, and still waiting..... I also preordered Dawn of Rebellion with it. So I'm hoping we get some kind of update soon too!
