By about 2 weeks I'm afraid.
However I don't think I've seen any picks of it. Are there any?

For your info, it is Hover Boards not Rocket Boards. Rocket Boards imply that it requires rockets to work so when you are not moving, you plummet to the ground.
The first step in being sane is to admit that you are insane.
There was a leaked video of the hover board in action a few days ago - it looked good.

ok well, the staff hasnt officially been revealed, though it has been pretty thoroughly unofficially reveled. Since you are just easing back into the info, heres some other news, 2 other powersets, a heavily single target ranged blast set with a laser rifle and a "street vengeance" set that is the much requested street brawling set. street vengeance also introduces a new "combo" mechanic. both will be purchasable sets, 800 pts(10 bucks usd) currently though as per posi, those prices are still in beta. now, don't you feel better ?
You can see said hover board @8:03ish here: http://youtu.be/YMnt5XcbmE0

Yeah, for just a few seconds. It looks cool though. I might decide to use that for a few characters I make in the future.

Nice catch AzA.

I show the video an looks awesome.
Also the animation when the you getting up the hover board:
Hover board comes flying behind your character, then the avatar jumps on it and start flying. Pure awesome.
Almost as impressive as the Bo staff melee leaked video. I wish I had downloaded that. If its for real, its going to be my favourite powerset ever.

Yeah that's it. They called it a rocket board in the magazine, but it's more like a hoverboard.

I'm sorry, but it's sad how much someone flying by and shooting rayguns from their hoverboard at a giant jello monster affects me. *wipes a tear away*

There are no words for what this community, and the friends I have made here mean to me. Please know that I care for all of you, yes, even you. If you Twitter, I'm MrThan. If you're Unleashed, I'm dumps. I'll try and get registered on the Titan Forums as well. Peace, and thanks for the best nine years anyone could ever ask for.

Hmmm, Bo Staff and a hoverboard, why do I suddenly have flashes of the old Masters of the Universe movie?

If it merely floated a short distance above the ground, we would've called it a Hoverboard (in fact, that's exactly what we've been calling it around the office for quite some time). But because you'll have full multi-directional flight with this item, the name was revised to the more descriptive and accurate "Rocketboard."|

Wait 'til you see a true demonstration of this thing. It's pretty slick.

Well yeah, you need real power like the Pit Bull to fly over water and such, right?|

That clip's exactly what I think of when I see the word "hoverboard." We decided to concept ours with a little less pink and a little less Mattel branding...and a little more ramjet.

More to the point... Jet Powered Rocket Pants?
Is the rocket board a pool power? Or a prestige power? Or is it a costume option for characters who take the flying pool? (That last option would be my favorite, but they're all quite awesome).

Late into the clip, Biff's grandson(?) breaks out the Pit Bull, which I imagine is a bit closer to what you're going for.

Is it customizable somehow? I think I'd like a pink Mattel-ish one, hmm.

Hmmm, I see a new hero "California Beachdude" coming soon. 
Can we have a new costume piece "Hawaiian Shirt" please?
While, we're at it, Grass Skirts and Lei's wouldnt hurt either.

I was recently on vacation and snagged a September issue of PCGamer Magazine. I noticed a short article regarding City of Heroes and specifically new things appearing for Freedom. Stuff that appears to have already been revealed. CoT costumes, Titan Weapons (they show four titan weapon images), signature story arcs, and a... Rocket Board. All of which are purchasable content from the in-game store. Is the Rocket Board old news?
