Delays...but not Scum
good that they finally figured they couldnt use this port or whatever for scum. so much money they lost on stuck inventory.
Nice that they gave an update. But holy crap, that is a lot of reprints that are being held up.
Yeah it's got to be hitting alot of companies, another decade it'll all be robots like Amazon uses just bigger and bent on our enslavement, but at least we get stuff quicker.
Just means Slave 1 and Falcons will shoot up in price on eBay!
Really wanted another firespray. ![]()
Erm I know of four UK online stores with them for £22.50ish and the other week I went Manchester and all three hobby stores I went to had stock, in fact I picked up a second one to repaint as Kath for scums release.
Weirdly the article lists the Fly Casual book for EotE as one of the delayed products, but CSI says my copy shipped today. The Upcoming page shows it releases this week, and it appears that is happening, so I'm not sure how much more it could be delayed.
Maybe Scum missing from that page was an error? I hope not but still...
It's just all-round weird. There are things from the 'Shipping Now' and the 'On The Boat' lists. I wonder why Scum wouldn't be included. Maybe the container with those things is going to a port not suffering from the same issues? If so, why would they use a different port?
Maybe because it's Scum and Villainy, they're being distributed by smugglers, which have ways around the port slowdowns/lockouts.
Scum got off the boat, but I think it took longer than they wanted it to. Probably the same thing for the remainder of their products coming out of Asia. It'll be ongoing until either these port issues get resolved or until they somehow figure out a way to ship to the East Coast (at which point those ports will also begin a dispute).
Their post is weird since Coolstuffinc has alot of reprints on that list up in stock as of today.
All I want is the Soontir Fel cardboard base....
THIS is what HAPPENS when you don't keep these jobs in AMERICA and send jobs to China and then companies have the temerity to wave the american flag..... AND Still charge a arm and a leg for products, just disgusting really.. UN-American.

Um, the people that are on strike are Americans... The problem is not in China.

Wave 1 and 4 were on a different boat. My FLGS confirmed they got their restock today, so they'll have Scum next week.

Hey, don't get in the way of someone wrapping themselves in the flag! Facts are not required or desired when doing so.
Can we not have another thread locked because of political discussions surrounding this topic?
Then again, we have, what, 3 threads about this announcement? Maybe we can afford to loose one.
This is (one reason) why we need some active moderation on this board. A moderator could take all 3 of these threads and combine them so all the discussion is in one place and not cluttering up the board.

I'm assuredly not wecoming new overlords. The current new overlords have a way of making things worse.
The subforums are sad and dead too. Pinning is ludicrous. MJ's post deserves it, but so do a few others.
I heard a rumour that Scum & Villains caused all the strikes at the shipping yards because they can, **** scum have already started to run amok. ☼
Yes. I noticed sub forums didnt last long as well...well it was a good idea for sub forums . Just wish it stuck. I seen more members policing other members up on where to post. Where are the admins? Why are there not more admins? Honestly I dont care one way or another. It sorts itself out usually but why create sub forums if only a few people actually use them while the other half just post willy nilly all over the place? If he posts out of place then they post out of place. it wil be....
ANARCHY!!! AHHHHHH!!!
This **** labor dispute has hurt so many companies, and some companies have even gone under because of it...It's getting quite ridiculous.
The delay article has disappeared.
The delay article has disappeared.
The dispute has been resolved and the ports are theoretically operating at regular speed again as of today, so the article is no longer accurate.
Of course, there is still a significant backlog of ships to be unloaded, but at least things should be moving forward at a normal pace again.
