Is Breaker easy to find? Hell, I saw Barbecue once and never again and he's never screamed "MUST HAVE" to me.

McFarlane recently claimed that DC figures outsold Marvel Legends in 2021 (this is based on winning an award from some company that tracks this). I'm not sure that's true, but even if it was just close, it would really put in context how little product from Hasbro is making it to the US.

I don't get it.
I buy a ton of import figures and they are barely getting delayed if at all, and most then ship from Japan to me in a week or less after release. How can a Japanese company easily be getting their stuff and then shipping it to me a week later but Hasbro can't get shit to us for like a year? Like the Figma I ordered back in August said late November release, it got pushed back to early Feb (2-3 month delay), and then came into stock Feb and got to me yesterday. How is Hasbro having so hard a time getting figures made and out and to the states when Max Factory and Bandai seem to have zero problem getting product out near on time, and into the hands of customers?

Uh. Yeah. Maybe not where you are, but from where I am I saw them in stores a few times and left them, even saw a stack when they went on clearance for $20. I'm sorry that didn't happen to you, but I think overall they were not hard to find. As in everyone that wanted one has one. I'm thinking (hoping) that will be the case with Croc Master.

The only time I saw him in store was when I was in Des Moines Iowa for Assembly Required.

A better question might be how is McFarlane doing so much better at shipping out his product on time than Hasbro?

Looks like for some of us it's online or nothing when it comes to Classifieds. The only figures I've ever seen in Walmart or Target is Flint, Lady Jaye, and Cobra Commander. I think I saw movie SE once. And they barely have any of those few whenever I look. If something like Breaker is hard to get online, it's hard to get for me.
I can only guess stores in metropolitan areas are getting the stock or there are a bunch of country GI Joe collectors snapping them up instantly around here. |

Other than the movie figures and Flint wave I never see anything at retail.
It doesn't help that there is a local guy that raffles off Classified figures in one of the FB groups for profit. I bought a general off him and he showed me his Classified stacks and it was clear why I can't find anything.

Some explanation might be satisfying whether they beg our forgiveness or not. You can't just wave a banner saying "COVID COVID COVID" forever and expect people to just nod and move on.
My Croc Master was delayed until August too. What's interesting is that a McFarlane Gotham Knights Batgirl was moved up and shipped, and I will have it by Thursday. I know there is a global issue going on, but I will repeat that I think there is something particular to Hasbro affecting these dates as well. It's just so bizarre to have really tiny runs of figures making it to the US and then the next batches being 6+ months away. |
