>>11079372Who knows if what you'er saying is true or not, but if McFarlane's stuff isn't shipped on time, they pay a penalty fee.
During COVID, he revealed he was paying millions of dollars to Walmart/Target thanks to the shipping crisis.
So i imagine they do pay a premium to get their stuff unloaded on time, since it would affect sales, ontop of the penalty fees they'd pay.
But who knows. Maybe there are no delays at all. People are talking about their online preorders being delayed, but we know that store shipments take precedence over internet sales. Some shops like BBTS always seem to get their stock in last.
I mean, we've seen people bitch about how their Target store in California having jack shit on the shelves, while people on the east coast have had theirs for a month. Or people taking pictures of unopened boxes of wave J59 with a street date of one week ago, while the shelves are empty. So are physical stores also being affected and which?
People have been antsy about newest waves of X not being available to them fast enough since forever and coming up with stories on why they couldn't get theirs.
I remember way back in the day when this Speeder Bike was impossible to find and there were rumors on print magazines about them being recalled due to having lead paint. Turned out it was nothing but bullshit and scalpers were just buying them up. I bought mine from an indie store and the owner never heard of a recall.
