Will basic 107, 108, Elite 76, and battlepack 65 still be scheduled to come in on time, or can we expect another delay. I'm actually fine if they are. Toys can wait until everything starts getting cleared up. Hopefully Ringside staff just takes it easy and stays safe during this.

It's wait and see. None of us know what the production line & distribution for these look like right now. It's all speculation.

I sure hope they're still on time, but I'm guessing no.

I wonder what could impact action figure collection more than a pandemic. Some sort of global stand against plastic? Anyone else read much about how a lot of action figure companies are probably going to change the boxes figures are sold in over the next few years? All the plastic see through fronts are prob a huge contribution to plastic usage.

The whole country was shutdown for like 3 months so do not bee surprised if they are delayed by that amount.

I mean that's definitely the logical thought, but that country also built hospitals in two weeks flat during that time. If they go hard, they go haaarrddd. Wouldn't be surprised if they show up on schedule or just slightly late. Also 3 months would be fine too I get it, I just mean if any country can make that time gap up in a blink it's China |

Definitely, but those went up from scratch and these were likely already in production. In a country economically based on exports, I'm sure they're eager to get back to exporting as quick as possible.

As much as I would like some of my pre-orders, it’s way bigger than that right now. We all just gotta wait and take any info RSC sends us. I’m ok on preorders until UE6/DoD 2, and I don’t see those opening till somewhere in like summer

My guess is that if RSC had heard they were delayed, people who preordered would have gotten an email or the arrival date would have changed on the website.

Hey, a little piece of info regarding this topic.
I am a huge tea drinker, and import a good deal directly from China.
I just got an email from my one supplier saying that, while the country is running remarkably well right now, all things considered, the current strict rules on flights in and out of China mean that the Chinese companies will gladly put together and ship your package within days, but it will likely take up to 3 months for you to get it because there's just no flights between there and here happening right now.
So yeah, it isn't a matter that China won't have the figures created in time. It's far more likely that they can't get the figures to the US Distributors in time.

I'm almost certain I've heard one or multiple of the Mattel guys note that the figures are shipped on boats, not by air. |

Rsc gets at least their first shipment by air.
Most retailers,. Especially the large retailers get shipments by boat

I collect diecast cars too and so far they seem to keep coming in stock with online retailers i buy from and im not sure why maybe they come by boat? and maybe these figs were delayed because they are coming by boat as opposed to air? Anyways, I really hope these figs show up soon. Dying for some new figs and for things to go back to normal
