Hot Toys SOLO Mudtrooper

[Cocoboloboy]

Some retailers were shorted. PopCultcha and at least one other that I can’t be bothered to remember.

Wasn’t it Krennic that got shorted and some preorders were getting cancelled?

 

[CrankbaitJon]

I think a number of retailers took on more orders than they actually have and were planning to buy the extra units that they expect HT to put out but those extra units were already sold out so yea...

Yes. That’s what started the rumors/concern about retailers having short supply.

Yondu got shorted as well....

Well my order was among the first at my retailer and I haven't gotten it yet...

I really don't understand what is happening here. Will Timewalker, Alter Ego, and others just never get any stock whatsoever? Does/can Sideshow just take whatever stock they receive from HT to service their own direct customers before they supply other retailers?

Yondu, Krennic, now this one...

Has anyone heard from their retailer about this item? Like, what is their story? After two years and 3 delivered batches so far do they just say "waiting on delivery"?

Anyone think there will be a 4th batch? IF so, anyone think Sideshow will share it?

Well, mine arrived at my door by Speekpak (kind of like EMS) from Hong Kong. If the US retailers are getting their's by boat, it'll be a few more weeks?

 

[Cocoboloboy]

Yeah. He’s cool. Too bad they didn’t make more. TA could have made a killing off the parts.

I'm sure it's been answered, but is the regular release Han the same Han head as this one? As far as the magnet/removable hair goes?

What do you mean? Sideshow received its shipment last month. Just not enough to go around.


Perhaps this is a split-split-split shipment.

If there are that many shortages wouldn't be surpised if hot toys opened up another run and sideshow moved the waitlist to preorders. They've done it with several figures already.

This one is finally listed as an Imminent Arrival at Timewalker Toys.

Im guessing something along these lines as well. I have not heard of a single person getting a waitlist conversion yet, and usually when that situation happens there is eventually one big wave of conversions or a whole new preorder window that goes back up.

I meant the 2nd/3rd batch. It looks like the other US retailers got the same batch as some of the asian retailers, (KGH) for me.

Looks like Timewalker got their Mudtroopers. I was charged yesterday!

Phew.....!

 

[sithocan]

Congrats.

As far insanely behind as they are running and with all the delays i don't see how they could do another run.

 

[CrankbaitJon]

Instead of doing another run, they should release a new one instead, the regular Mud Trooper .

Nah they just push back stuff thats under ordered. Good luck Alita and hellboy ironically they threw in an infinity war thor rerun and now yoda before this dude was even released
