Threezero Game of Thrones - 1/6 Jon Snow

[YankeesFanboy]

Wonder when we'll get this. I'm betting December... But I guess they can take all the time they need if they fix the oversized boots.

Cue the "Winter is Coming" cracks. Followed closely by the "You know nothing, Jon Snow" jokes.

Well, if it remains on time then we can expect it by the end of next month. We're not far off. Ive gotten used to not having any expectations as far as release dates for these things though. Either way their not doing to bad with the GoT line. It's the WD collectors that I feel for. Seesh. [emoji38]

FWIW, Heisenberg, which was originally scheduled for 3Q15, is coming in October according to Threezero. Haven't seen any updates about Snow.

They also said Shepard was shipping in late July, and a month later I haven't heard anything else about that.

It felt like Tyrion took forever to ship so I am not expecting Jon for a while. If i had to guess i would say December.

early 2016

Hmmm, I can't remember if Tyrion was originally a Q3 or Q4 shipper - it finally went out in mid December though, mine specifically on the 18th. Ordered May 29th.

 

[TheFiend]

Tyrion was on time though,right? I mean, it was the latest possible date inside the 4th quarter estimation but it got out. I can't remember Ned though. Was he on time? I know the people that bought from retailers waited for what seemed to be a long time.

 

[Ce Ilhuicamina]

Ned got a bit delayed if I remember correctly. A month or something like that.

 

[Mudblood]

Ned was set for March and came out in May.

I still wish they didn't require full payment upon ordering... But whatever. I needed Ghost.

Yesterday I emailed ThreeZero regarding the availability of John Snow
and the reply I got was Q4 2015, with no other explanation.
So the initial statement for Q3 2015 is no longer valid.
I wish they would make js with rooted hair, but I don't think this will change.

 

[WhoaItsJBot]

I knew it. I'd been expecting Jon in December all along, so this probably means February 2016.

 

[illproxy]

yeah 2016 for sure no doubt i think also.

bet chappie has slipped back as well. oh man i hope they dont go the threeA route with estimates that are constantly wayyy off. like 6 months off. worst

 

[WhoaItsJBot]

Some might consider my opinion a little harsh, but I feel like constant inaccurate release sates make a company seem very incompetent. Giving quarterly estimates isn't even that specific, and yet they STILL can't do it. Might be wrong but I thought Shepard was originally set for spring, then they stated he'd ship late July. Here it is almost September and nothing. Nothing in this hobby is ever set in stone, but they seem to consistently be inaccurate.

 

[Pixelpiper]

If you only have one or two production lines, this is inevitable. Any release can impact the next few and it could take a while to get back on schedule. The three month quarterly window just hasn't been enough, as they've been on a slide for at least a year.

 

[Sidewinder]

I wasn't expecting this to release till around Christmas time, but I wouldn't be surprised for a January or February release either. Tyrion was released right at the end of last year, beginning of this year if I recall correctly. Jon will likely be the same, so it looks like a 2 figure a year deal with ThreeZero for this line.

Just as long as they don't delay and then ship a ****** product like their sister company ThreeA!

I know it is unlikely but I still think Snow will be released this year. Hopefully threezero will prioritize Jon over their other projects to release him this winter, he was the most badass and relevant character this year and many people would love to have the figure for the holidays, pushing him to February could be a mistake IMHO.

 

[Lumos]

If they can't get their figures out within a month or two of the expected release date, I think they should stop requiring full payment upon ordering.

February is so darn far away. Could have used that $200 for something else and gotten him as a Christmas gift instead. In the long run it doesn't really matter, but it'd be nice to have my money right now.

I wouldn't consider threezero incompetent because of delays let alone VERY incompetent. Delays are something that happens often to all the big ( and small) players for variable reasons. Hot Toys, Sideshow, threezero etc. Threezero will have to do far worse to be considered incompetent in my eyes. It sucks it's delayed but I'm not surprised.
