Can I say that I don't understand people who said they won't buy them if they're push back again! .....anyway try to stop acting like kids, or at least try to make your post sound like you're not 10 y-o ;D Can I say that I don't understand how you think you've got the right to slag off fellow board members for voicing their own opinions! You don't mind the delay. Fair enough. Some people hate it and they should be allowed to express their feelings without being told they are acting like 10 year olds!

How can people say that the line is losing intrest, I personlly think it's almost at the strongest it's ever been. If everyone had this atitute when they were cancelled we wouldn't be where we are today. I think when you all actually get your Anya and Tara's you'll say differntly.

I agree with you there. It is as stupid attitude saying that you won't buy the figures because of the delays. Really, If Palz got delayed for two months, I could see that this crazy attitude being mirrored.

Everyone on the forum is entitled to his or her own opinion. Hurricane, Fireball has as much right to say he s the line as much right as you have to say they're the best action figures ever. I think that everyone on the forum should be mature enough to handle people having varying opinions from their own.

Well,
I too received Cinequest's e-mail and discovered the figures would be late. I'm thinking that it's wiser of DST to refine the figures and make the line as accurate and detailed as possible than to jsut accept the flawed prototypes and ship sooner. The waay they are doign it now, customers are assured that when they pre-order based on prototype pics, that the final release will always be more accurate and detailed. In the end, we'll all appreciate the dalys on the figures becaue the final result will be more dynamic than if the figures were rushed and chinsy.
But on the other hand, to hold onto the finished figs ready to ship in wait for the ones that aren't, I think they're hurting the collectors. I don't know about anyone else here, but I would seriously rather have small six-figure waves out every two-to-three months than huge 12 figure waves every six. I think that releasing the Bunny An, "hush" Tara, OMWF An and Regular An and Tara in a week (late September)would be good, then they could release the rest of the exclusives and variants in Late October/November while some of the regulars are still on pegs, keeping a steady stream of figures that would make collectors happy and constantly on-point for new stuff.
I know that between all my pre-orders, I have about 6 boxes due to me now at one time / in probably a one-week period, when I would have much rather had boxes show up next week and more a month later. This is just my opinion, but i think that the separate releases would have been a happy medium.
Sorry for the lengthy wordiness of this post, RFL

Does anyone actually know why the figures are being delayed?
I know everyone is assuming quality control reasons but has this been confirmed by anyone?
Also re DST Never shipping 3 months past the release date, that's techincally true.
Diamond Distribution, the shipper of DST items, sells products 2 months in advance of actual release dates.
But if an item is delayed past that date all existing orders from retailers may be cancelled and they have to then place a whole new order using the new ship date time frame.
This happened with the first wave of Willow figures which were ordered by retailers last Nov for January release.
This date was missed and some retailers had their initial orders cancelled.

My Mother always told me patience is a virtue. And that crap happens. And anything that can go wrong will go wrong. And that this, too, shall pass.
To be quite honest, Mom has always been kinda chatty, but wise.
Putting things in perspective, having action figures delayed a few weeks isn't so bad as oh, say getting evicted or having your car break down or a piano fall on your head. I can deal with waiting.
