I’ve received my shipping notice from Wrestling Trader for the Glow Adam Bomb; look forward to seeing it in person, especially how the glow feature will work in practice. Looks like one hell of a night light!

Likely fact that a lot of people are no longer interested after pre ordering months and months ago Without banging the same drum it’s another example of the majors marketing nous. They didn’t announce bendies as soon as they had the concept. They waited until they got all the potential issues sorted They’re not immune to the same issues other lines have faced, but you get the impression they planned better, dealt with them when they arise behind closed doors so announcement to release has seemed seemless

I'm going to be honest, blue Haystacks and Big Daddy are both going on the bay when they arrive. I bought them with the intention of keeping but my life has shifted and I need to move on from collecting.

I kept collecting after my brother died as a coping mechanism as we had been collecting together since 2000. But I started planning towards a future with someone and I stopped collecting. I realised after 8 years it was time to let go.

We are onto 10 months since I ordered Daddy and Dynamite and I really CBA with this line at all now. I also pre ordered Gangrel and don't want that anymore either.
Has anyone had luck cancelling these so called pre orders and getting a refund ?

I have almost all chellas so far but waiting around a year from order and still not having the figures in hand really annoys me. I’ll be parting ways with all my chellas once the 10 I’m waiting for arrive

The fact that there's no updates, apologises on their site or any answering of emails isn't a good sign. I live in the same home town as Chella and knowing where they live I'm tempted to just knock on the door and see if they'd say anything about the situation. Still unsure what to do. How long do you give a company till its too long???

However if a cool dude who happens to live in the same town as me and shares the same passion comes around for a friendly chat, I might open the door...

I received my Glow Bomb despite the post strike - very happy with it; unique item obviously and the gimmick works great, so no regrets with the purchase despite the price being a little high.
Hopefully we'll be seeing the variant Haystacks and Dynamite over the next month or so to build a bit of momentum. But of course the big ones are going to be the new figures - Big Daddy when? Al Snow? Any hope of Gangrel by the end of the year? I expect Greg won't be released until after the Mattel version comes-out (assuming that that set goes up in January and get delivered around March, which I think was the timetable with the first set on Mattel Creations this year). I wonder a bit about Blue Meanie though since I think that's basically a repaint of the existing one? So could be relatively quick that one.

There should be more updates on the Chella side of things, I don't disagree with any of you there. But if I could try to put your mind at ease...There's been delays on the factory's end again with things out of our control, but everything is still on track for release. I don't want to put timetables on anything at the moment until I get shipping notifications-- It would be wrong to give timeframes when the factory has had trouble staying within their provided timeframes. Also just a reminder, your pre-orders with FC aren't binding. There's no risk, you can cancel at any point for a full refund!

Yeah I wouldn't be demanding anything,or asking for my money back, More than anything to make sure its not a scam and he's taken off so obviously done in a polite way.

Also just a reminder, your pre-orders with FC aren't binding. There's no risk, you can cancel at any point for a full refund! Thanks for the update, and for all your updates so far - at a time when Chella themselves seem so uncontactable then your posts here have been very welcome, and necessary as well I think. Thank you for that. Thank you also for sharing about the factory issues - I don't think we've heard about that before so that's useful to hear. Appreciate what you are saying regarding timetables, seems sensible given how things have slipped in the past. Can you say anything about the stage some of the pieces are up to now? Like are the series 2 guys that were put up for pre-order together all in production now? If so then how far along? Have their final samples been signed-off on? Are they still at the prototype stage? Or the earlier figures like Al Snow and Gangrel: they must be well into final production now? Obviously if you can't share that info then no pressure, but in general that sort of info would be great to hear from Chella to reassure us that things are moving. Thanks again.

Has anyone in the UK received their Haystacks figure yet? I thought these were being sent out by WrestlingTrader a couple of weeks back?
I’ve got to be honest, I’ve tried not to show concern and yes I hear there’s family issues. But people have spent a lot of money on these pre orders. Despite any personal issues going on the right thing to do would be to write out a 1 minute Instagram/Twitter post from the man himself to clarify what the problem is and I what we can expect. It’s really not that time consuming, and yes I get his head may not be in it but if you take peoples hard earned money and especially in this day and age then you should be communicating full stop! I’m sure there was a post somewhere a month ago saying Wembley Haystacks was 2 weeks away and quickly followed by Blue Haystacks and Big Daddy? But radio silence since. Stop getting people excited for the figures to arrive when they ultimately will not be showing up and give everyone a frank and honest message about what the issue is.

Only the Wembley brown Haystacks has gone out in the UK, not the blue.
