I received what I thought was an odd package today. I received a Slithe directly from Super 7.
I went back and checked. I had ordered all of Wave 3 (whatever this wave was) and I ordered an extra Slithe.
So Super 7 mailed the extra figure but not the full set I ordered. I dunno if they're still waiting to mail out full sets or not.
So keep an eye out people.
It actually doesn't happen all the time with "Super 7" so why you're bringing in other entities to prove your point makes zero sense. They've always had a pretty routine way of doing things and if something like this is out of line it DOES effect other entities bottom-line and will cause issues.Quote:

There was an issue with the first wave of Super 7's NJPW figures when Ringside Collectibles got the figures before everyone else and shipped them to their customers. Super 7 actually said they didn't want them doing that and wanted them to wait until all the other retailers also had the figures for their customers.
Coincidently their is still no word on the replacement hands that were supposed ot be getting sent to the customers that bought the NJPW wave 1 figures.
It makes perfect sense cause it proves that retailers don't always get in the same product from companies at the same time. The fact that it does happen with other companies also proves it's not uncommon in the industry. Sorry if that was too difficult for you to understand. :sklol:Quote:

Also the knees and elbows turn since they are pegless. Nit sure if you guys realized that. Everything moves but the neck peg on mine lol. I need to know I'd I should return mine and get a new one.

have you taken the head off to check? Have you tried heating it up to move it?Quote:

Yeah I took the head off. Didn't try heat. It's like it glued in place. Yours moves around?Quote:

When I bought Sideshow collectables stuff years ago, 3rd-party retailers almost always got their items in before Sideshow got in the same items. It just depends how the items are sent from the factory. I would bet that BBTS ships their S7 items directly from the factory instead of going through S7's warehouse. EE does this with a lot of Hasbro items which is why they get in stuff earlier than other retailers.Quote:

This is so upsetting. 50 bucks for an issue that's been happening since s7 first wave of filmation and classics. So me getting a replacement from bbts would be a waste and as well as just sinking another 50 to buy another.

My Ultimate He-Man is like this too... he is perpetually "looking up" all the time. :(Quote:

Your logic is all over the place. So what? EE doesn't have their Super 7 items shipped in the same manner as BBTS? I'd bet that EE gets in AT LEAST 5 times the amount of product that BBTS does AND they're located closer to China then BBTS. So what's your botched rational for that?Quote:

Also EE is a Hasbro distributor who sells to other online stores like the now defunct Megalopolis Toys so S7's items may not be on the top priority of the list of items to move out of the warehouse first. I'd bet (:skwink: :sktung:) that they sell and distribute TONS and TONS more Hasbro items than they do S7 which would mean they are a priority. Or maybe a band of pirates hijacked their cargo ship and delayed them while the BBTS evaded their attack. :sklol:Quote:

My ENTIRE premise was a theory so for you to counter it with ANOTHER theory with-out ANY actual proof other then to try to use examples that don't even necessarily apply in an attempt to debunk it is just about as dumb as it gets.
You're coming up with a million excuses to what the possible issue is except for ANY that I listed!! :hmlol::hmlol: THEN say "The possibilities are endless." :hmlol::hmlol::hmlol:
Neither of us are privy to what's going on behind the scenes, but the fact that NOBODY aside from BBTS has to this day "at least as far as I know" received ONE figure from wave 3 doesn't sound the least bit odd? So let's throw the whole pirates attacked EE's cargo out the window unless they magically stole everyone else's as well.
There's a bunch of people that sell/buy these. Where's their stuff?
The FACT that the same thing happened with Wave 3 of Turtles doesn't sound the least bit odd? Where was their stuff?
ONE guy owns Super 7, it's not Hasbro, Mattel ect. BBTS is obviously carrying a lot of weight in supporting them. To think that they didn't broker some deal to get stuff in before anyone else isn't that far fetched.
They can obviously do what they want, but give people transparency. It's all a theory, give it a rest.
Are other folks still waiting for their shipment from Super7? I received my extra Jaga from them a couple of weeks ago but am yet to see my full order.

I'd LOVE a Pyron figure in the line. He just screams Classics action figure to me. Cool design.
I have not received anything yet, not even a shipping notice. But I ordered the complete wave, and I think people who ordered invidual figures are getting them first.Quote:

This casts a new light on whatever surprise Super7 has in store for ThunderCats Wave 5. It's possible that it's four figures plus a stand-alone accessory, like Mandora's bike. Or maybe five regular figures plus Amok. The idea that a "wave" isn't restricted to four figures alone is interesting.
