im not going to pretend to know what this major bludd business is about, but i also cant feel bad for someone that pays 1000 bucks for a toy. or someone that can read a thread about how a company is tanking and warning people about them and their take away is "gee, i hope i get my toys i just ordered!"

Considering some of the things that were being said (and not said) on here during the time those Major Bludd figures leaked from Dorkside Toys. I wouldn't be surprised if some shady shit was happening in their warehouse...
My theories and they're just that, no truth in what I'm saying just speculating..although those Major Bludd leaks always smelled fishy to me. 1. Employees were stealing products to make a higher profit, especially during those early days of classified when secondary prices were insane for non-exclusive figures. 2. Hasbro got fed up with products being leaked before the release date and began looking into it. Brought the ban hammer down on DS. Now you don't have Marvel, or Star Wars products coming in and it destroys your business. 3. Plain old shitty business practices. (though I doubt it, never had any issues with DS. They always shipped super fast.) There are a lot of small businesses out there hanging on by a thread. It just takes one natural disaster, a pandemic, or rising costs of...well, everything. (materials, warehouse space, salaries) to bring a small business down. I'm probably 99.9% wrong on the BS I just spewed...but where there's smoke there's fire.

It wouldn't be out of the realm of possibility that Hasbro was able to track down that it was Dorkside that leaked Major Bludd and decided that they were now last on the list to get any new product. I had ordered figures from a Black Series Wave back in April of 2021 from Dorkside and they couldn't fulfill the order until Feb of 2022. Months after BBTS, Amazon, Target, EE had gotten the figures and shipped them to their customers. I found it strange that everyone else had shipped their figures but Dorkside was months behind everyone else.

Seems a plausible explanation as to why Dorkside went from first to suddenly last in getting out most product.
Pretty impressive though if Hasbro basically destroyed their company over them leaking and profiting off of unannounced figures. |

Dorkside is located in Tennessee. I know for a fact that the guy who was selling that Major bludd on eBay, the one that skyrocketed, was located in Tennessee. It's all starting to come together now.
Side note, that initial Bludd auction that went into the thousands was full of shill/fake bids, and the seller never saw any of that money. I can't remember what happened when/if the item was relisted or if they ever got good money on a second attempt.

Ive had a few recent interactions with dorkside and they were pretty professional and helpful, but i recently ordered what was listed on their site as the female Valaverse steel brigade and i ordered it, and someone today said on here that in fact it was the male version that they shipped instead, so i am waiting to see what arrives tomorrow, but the listing for that female figure is gone, and their customer service has not responded yet to my question as to what they actually sent me.
