Rated X wrote:So where exactly are the talons ? On a boat ? In a shipping crate not being moved due to these "disputes" ? Is the crate in America ? Or are these disputes in china and the crate is still there ? My guess is its a home grown problem and they are sitting in some ship yard with thousands of other crates. The Brits all got their talons, so I doubt this has anything to do with them getting out of china.

The disputes are in American ports. Supposedly(according to BBTS), the crates have been rerouted to a port not experiencing them. In addition, some gaming companies that I've got contacts in are reporting higher than usual occurrences of crates being tagged for inspection(thus leading to delays for them), so that could be a factor, as well.

This would explain why I got a email from TRU stating my Generations Leader Jetfire Pre-order release date has been pushed back a few weeks.
Surprised the President and the Government hasn't stepped in yet to end this strike and force everyone back to work.
This also explains why I haven't seen any newer Hasbro 30th toys on store shelves yet.
Think this is why people hate Unions so much, Due to them going on strike so much and forcing the economy to a stand still.
This is ridiculous, It's Almost the Christmas buying season and retailers need their stores stocked with newer products. The last quarter of any year is when retailers make the bulk of their profits.
I blame America as their should be more than one international pier on more coast that deals with international shipping from those overseas boats with shipping containers on them. The east Coast can easily be set up with international piers to accept these boats but their is all this red tape from the government that prevents this, it's more or less a budgets money issue.
It goes without saying, After the strike ends. The piers are going to be back logged with so many shipping containers that need to be unloaded. the work force won't be able to handle it. their will be added chaos, confusions, delays and theft.

And, because every now and again, BBTS posts a firm date on a figure showing up. So, daily, I check the Talon product page. Guess what I just saw there...BBTS wrote:Estimated to Arrive

That makes sense as August ends on Sunday, but no hope for this week. Shipping my POL...

Im gonna hold out. I need that galvy before I ship. Maybe Ill get lucky and all 3 will hit my POL the same week. But it wouldnt bother me if whoever was the root of these shipping issues becomes the next Hoffa.
