There is little foresight with regard to 3D in this movie. Why wasn't this on the table at the start of production? Post-production conversion to 3D is a crap shoot. Look at Clash of the Titans. It was one of the worst 3D conversions ever. They obviously need the time to convert to 3D because it was never originally shot with any intention to make it 3D. The movie has to be almost done since it's in the scoring phase. There are probably some minor SFX tweaks left to finish in the coming month until it's (now delayed) release.
I'm not distraught about it's delay but we've gotten all hyped up with the 10 trailers, interviews, toys, etc that this does hurt a little. The summer is littered with blockbusters and it could have lost a ton of money in it's second week when Spider-man hits. SO March is a much safer time to have it be competitive in the box office. So the big question is will the toys be released on May 28 as scheduled or will they be held in the back room. My guess is the initial wave of figures that are sitting in the back room will hit and the rest will be held back for the movie's release. |

Post production 3D conversation is never a good thing unless your James Cameron.
HTS still has Retaliation toys. My ninja 3-packs are set to ship by June 4. They better ship or I'm sending Parachuting Cap back. I only got Cap to qualify for free shipping. If my order gets canceled, free shipping no longer applies because it's under $50 and I'd end up paying close to $20 for a figures I can easily grab for $13. I might call HTS tomorrow and inquire about Retaliation toys. |

Makes sense since Hasbro would want to recoup some money. It's not their call to delay the movie for 3D conversion.
So do you think Target will put out the Wave 1 stuff in their stock room on or around May 28? |

You guys ever feel like the RI and MA sightings threads should be combined into one? It always seems like we're having the same discussions back and forth between them.
