    According to Amazon.com it was released in February.

    Worth reading?

    :confused: I never saw it. Amazon's been mistaken before. When I see it, I'm buying it, that's for sure.

    Amazon's wrong. Was pushed back to August to coincide with release of Book/Game.

    Which sucks, since I've got the Secret Apprentice figures sitting on my dining room table right now and a Maris Brood fig in my closet.

    Figures for a multimedia event coming out months before the actual media portion.... the Force is truly unbalanced.

    Actually DHC has it set for release in early June. Course I expect that date to change to August soon.

    Blame LFL for not getting the game done on schedule.

    The sad thing is, with a release of late August, TFU will be completely overshadowed by the theatrical release of The Clone Wars. Fans will still be all over it, I am sure, but the masses and casual fans probably won't give it the attention it could have gotten because of the larger media buzz around a theatrical film and a new ongoing TV program hitting at the same time.

    I feel its more likely to have the opposite effect, personally. People will be so wrapped up in the Star Wars craze again that when the kids see "Star Wars" on a new video game they'll instantly want it. The cynic in me feels the Clone Wars film is the reason they're holding the game back in the first place.

    After what happened with KOTOR2? I'd rather see a delay than LFL forcing a game out before it's finished.
    (Besides, I heard a reliable rumor that the game was delayed to put the finishing touches on the "ultimate rendition of the Battle of Hoth" [face_whistling] )

    Agreed. Hasbro dropped the ball. I can pretty much put the entire story together Light side or Dark side gameplay-wise through the figures descriptions.

    George was never able to show you the battle of Hoth the way he envisioned it so we decided to go back and [face_beatup]

    So, Dawud, you get the action figures, huh? I think it's kinda cool that you have them long before the rest of the stuff is out. Seems exclusive... Reminds me of 1979 Boba Fett.

    Thats not a valid comparison. Kotor2 stood by itself, TFU it seems has both a novel and a comic to back it up, if they cut out portions of story from the video game, it's presumably supplemented via the other two tie-ins.

    It's a valid comparison because KotOR II's quality - all over - suffered because it was forced out early.

    It wasn't just "oh, some story's missing". The entire game needed another polish. Not least the woefully bad influence system.

    The novel version was intended to come out today. I didn't get a chance to go hunting for it, but I suppose it was pushed back as well?

    I hate when games do that. I learned a long time ago, not to trust gaming magazines, or Amazon for that matter...

    Sheesh. Oh well, here's hopinh TFU, will be better than Kotor 2. In a LOT of respects...

    But how will the secret apprentice play in the OT? I mean.... why go after Luke at all then, if this new guy is wandering around?

    [face_peace] Tis very inconsistant

    TFU: A Star Wars Miniatures Game expansion: Nov. 20, 2007

    TFU Novel release date: August 19th

    TFU Graphic novel release date: June 4th

    TFU Art of TFU release date: June 24th

    TFU: Prima Official Game Guide: April 8th

    So of course this doesn't make much sense to me so I'm sure all the dates will change yet again.[face_not_talking]

    Wait, is this for all versions, or is LucasArts going to release different versions on different dates?

    Not to derail the thread, but since we're talking about the mini game, can someone point me to a good thread or website that discusses the mini game? I've seen the packs in the store but never got into it, and I'm wondering how it works as I haven't played a miniature game since my Battletech/Warhammer days, and these seem a LOT different.
