I just had an order on EBay cancelled from China due Corona virus. I had ordered a Beserk Guts figure a couple weeks ago. The buyer had mentioned some of the manufacturing plants had shut down due to the epidemic. Sounds like this is a lot worse than what is spreading in the news. I was just giving a heads up on ordering from China. You may end up with very delayed product or a cancellation.

Lets hope the new Joe line is manufactured in Vietnam or Indo. If it is prepped to made in China, the death of the line may continue!

A lot of the China store sellers on Ebay are closed. I contacted one as he never re opened after their New Year. He said he would be re opening on the 20th of February. He said the Government wanted people to stop working or something.

The Chinese vendors I use for 3P Transformers have all stated that there will be delays in processing and shipping orders due to the shutdowns. Some have said that they will resume operations at the end of February but I think they’re just trying to reassure their customers and not lose business.

I think they're also finding ways around it. First of all alot of product have been immediately shipped to the US from China at the end of 2019 so they could beat the tariffs before they actually hit and that was before the Coronavirus scare. Now that the virus is a problem not only have fumigation and sterilizations have increased but I read somewhere that if the virus is on product being shipped, without an actual human or animal host to cling to, the virus can only survive up to 48 hours. And I also read somewhere that shipping companies are limiting the amount of workers on the boats to limit the amount of people to possibly be affected. And they're to go through vigorous testing and sterilizations before docking in the US.
I wonder how many of the toy factories are in the areas that have been greatly affected by the virus? |

Bet this will impact Eagle Force. Thankfully the Zica Adventure Peeps and Sectaurs are shipping this week.

Not sure about Eagle Force but Joy Toys may not be affected. I can't find their email they sent me but what I said above pretty much summed up what they emailed me.
