Eh. It's a toy. It's no big deal. It just sucks that this is a toy we've wanted in this scale and detail for at least 10 years since the McF Robo came along, and now we won't have it until a YEAR after it was shown at Toy Fair.

Oh well. If that's the worst thing we have to complain about, we really do live charmed lives!
Well said. :duff
 
Well I FINNALY got a response from Neca on Facebook so here's what they said.

"Still a few weeks away, no firm date yet"

so probably mid December like we've heard. so maybe it WILL be a Christmas gift from Neca. I guess Santa will be dropping it off for them... because that's where Santa works. :)
 
The lack of a firm date makes me think it won't be here till January.

:exactly:

I have just had a number of postponement notifications from Forbidden Planet, so here in the UK we seem to be getting a lot of delays, in some cases for figures already in hand elsewhere.. I think FP's 15th December shipping date for ED-209 is probably a promise of cake...
:gah:

..however I did get Universal Monsters 9" Creature from the Black Lagoon figure from Ebay recently (release the 9" Mummy, already!).. which didn't get picked up by FP in the UK and is on PO with BBTS.
:yess:
 
Well amazon Japan pushed it back to December 26th, but originally it was October 26th. Then November 26th. They seem to just push it back a month just to cover their ***, and if it shows up sooner, cool, but if it looks like it's gonna get delayed again, they'll show it as January 26th.

I'm starting to think they're wanting to release it close to when the NEW Robocop movie releases.. if that's part of the reason why they have been delaying him... they REALLY should not.. BUT it might boost there store sells.

I think the movie is supposed to be in January..
 
And now that that admission is out of the way lets just go ahead and complain anyway. **** sake NECA!

Though really, shouldn't we be used to this by now? when has NECA ever released anything on time? I don't know why they don't just automatically add 2-3 months on to their release dates to make themselves look better.

Sheesh. And we keep coming back. There's probably clinical inpatient programs for people like us...

"Thank you sir, may I have another?" :lol
 
you know, it would be nice if they could at least give us better pictures showing off more articulation. since it's taking so long.
maybe I'll ask them If they could do that.

Whoever has twitter here could you start asking that too? so that we'll have more chances of getting more detailed photos. (if you even want to..)

do you guys think thats a good idea?
 
They'll probably post more pictures when he has them in their warehouse. Which is like a week or so before its released. Everytime I ask them something on Twitter I never get feedback.
 
Look at what Phil Tippett found at the studio:
The original ED-209 plans.

You need to shop elsewhere mate that 9" Mezco Toyz Creature has been available in the UK for ages. It is a damn shame that NECA's ED-209 will unlikely be out in the UK this year as i was realy looking forward to it.
