I think you might be mistaken about this. I don't think the infrastructure exists to ship these by truck or train from eastern China to western Europe. I think Europe gets them faster sometimes because the retailers order smaller quantities and use air shipping. At least this is what we were told all the time about MOTUC from both Mattel and Super7.

Does Europe really get their products from China overland?

Overland or not they are lot closer than the US. They aren?t going around Africa, they?re cutting across the Suez Canak and through the Mediterranean. And they are almost certainly receiving a much much smaller amount of product. The entire allotment for Spain could probably fit on a cargo plane.
I think the European stores that are getting these are getting them by air.

I seriously doubt any trade from China to Europe comes overland, I would assume it would come via Plane or Boat.

I also got Stalker today to complete the Wave with the Twins. I think with Europe getting smaller shipments we are getting some things quicker than the US also we don't have store exclusives.

Pulled the trigger on 2 Siegies from Spain. Let’s see how fast they arrive.

Interesting. With all the Star Wars Black Series and TVC re-runs being cancelled on people (or just their initial orders and they've been waiting over a year) maybe Hasbro is just doing a wait and see to see what actually shows up on U.S. shores?
I suppose they have no way of tracking how much they sent out and how much of it has actually arrived and sold in a store? |

Regardless, I?m mystified by the outrage at Europe and Asia getting product before the US.

I think the dates given to all the recent pre-orders were just placeholders for worst-case scenarios and were always possibly going to be moved up considerably if the supply chain issues started getting better -- which I think it is obvious at this point they certainly have improved.
I also remember Emily and Lenny stating that all the figures like the Spirit wave, the Tomax wave and the CG wave were all originally supposed to be for 2022, or were planned to be before the shipping issues got so crazy last fall. I think TF Recondo and Bazooka were planned for '22 as well. We sort of knew this may happen where we get 2 or 3 waves without much of a break in-between once the shipping delays started to improve.

Ironken is entertainment and for seeing what parts fit for parts swapping. Before I watched this pants swap video, I didn't think about leaving the original waist and just swapping the overlay crotch piece and just swapping legs. |
