>>11079240>implying their are semitrucks with Spawn logos on themLook at that image and notice the cluster of distribution centers near Los Angeles. see also the other coasts, including the gulf. Walmart and Target have these giant 5 city block sized warehouses on the coast, because everything from the docks goes into them daily. From there, the shipments are sent to regional distribution centers and from there, into individual stores.
IT's a longass chain that you don't seem to realize exists.
The only thing most toy companies do is handle the overseas freight costs, if their shit is sold in mass market toy stores. Even specialty shops order their shit from normal distributors, like Diamond Comics, AAA Anime Distribution, or that one distributor that Bandai bought like 5 years ago..... Bluefin.
This is how distribution has worked for decades (if not a century), and companies like bandai cut out that middleman, so they can get more profits from selling their stuff to the stores.
Obviously, McFarlane doesn't have a distributor, hence his collector shit being sold through Diamond and other distributors.
>>11079269>but why is his shit always delayed when no one else has these problems?How should i know? I don't work with distributors or docks.
And you ignored the part that McFarlane isn't announcing and showing off products a year ahead of time as prototypes, which is where delays are usually attributed to, because licensors aren't happy with a product or some other shit.
Again, McFarlane has been announcing products a month or two before they're actually supposed to be in stores and that means those products are finished and being shipped out of China. There's literally nothing McFarlane can do if there's a delay there, unless they hire helicopters to lift shipping containers from stuck vessels or hiring the A-Team to steal the containers being held up by customs.
