Ive only posted on here, i dont go other places, and i found out by someone else who must have had it happen to them, mine is scheduled to be delivered today but tracking shows the post office hasnt officially received from dorksides shipping partner, only that it is in town and left the shipping partner, but i suspect, I will end up with a male version as that seems to be what they are shipping and they did not respond to my email about that, only the response for the will miss you email.

It does appear like Dorkside is toast.

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.

My ordered arrived today and sure enough they sent the re-issue male Steel Brigade and not the female one. Not surprised since the female version hasn't even arrived from China yet. Emailed Dorkside one more time to rectify the situation before I get the credit card company involved. If Dorkside is going to collapse it going to be worse than when Megalopolis went out of business when all those customers lost their money.

I FINALLY get to tell this story...
Leaking GIJC Bludd was not the ?catalyst for it's (Dorkside's) demise?. Nor did it have anything to do with it. Hasbro never even knew that "Bluddgate" happened. Or if they did they didn't indicate they cared at all. They way DS received Bludd was an utter and total fluke. Or happened because the former Showrunner of DS is BEYOND cool as fuck. DS received a palatte of SW Black Series figures. Well...mixed in with this particular palette of SW Black Series figures (that was shipped straight from the factory) were 2 (or 3? I can't remember anymore) cases clearly marked "GIJC Asteroid". It's interesting to note that during this time SWBS and GIJC cases were the exact same dimensions. Scratching their head the warehouse worker cracked open the case and, very VERY quickly, realized something was clearly wrongright. Remember, at this point Bludd hadn't even been officially announced. His name was leaked and hinted at as a future release but, there was nothing formal. Nor had there been ANY images of a proto much less a packaged figure. DS proceeded to basically give the figure away to friends and associates. Because at that point the place was run by a very VERY solid person. Someone that appreciated customers that were fans. Someone that realized the original mega-fan customers that helped put DS on the map by giving free advertising and endoresments through boards and social platforms deserved to be?rewarded? Receiving the figure was less of a ?reward? and more of a headache for some. But it was still awesome. I was one of the lucky folk to receive a figure. I?ve gotten countless things early over the years due to this AMAZING person that ran the place. DS?s ?downfall? began with the departure of this person. It was as if all the grace left the place. And it took less than a year. And that's the true story of Bluddgate. Much less dramatic than many have speculated. But no less cool. Thought I would post this here, as it pertains to this thread.

That appears to be the partner the original story mentioned Eddie (the owner) thought he could run the business without.

Its just a shame what has happened to them, i dont think till this news broke that many have negative things to say about DS.
Personally, as Ive said, i havent used them much till recently and all my interactions with their customer service has been excellent, professional, my items typically arrive quickly, not at fast as BBTS but overall i have a positive opinion of them, now, im not happy with the VV Steel brigade gender swap, that irks me, but it could have been worse as some on here have stated with their current situations with pre-orders.

I'm not sure why the Bludd thing keeps coming up, that was over 2 years ago. This mess happened in a very short time.
