When in the name of god are s7 sending these figures. Man oh man

I'm looking forward to getting these just in time for Christmas.

Seriously... I'm normally pretty patient, but am starting to worry. Are they still "stuck at the port?" Btw, where did Super 7 initially disclose that? Has anybody tried to ping that guy that started this thread, supposedly one of the dudes that works there? I've tried searching his comments and haven't come across anything.

Want to have these figs in hand before I decide whether or not to order pre-order wave 2. From RSC, naturally.

As of March 19, they were still at the port. I emailed them asking before that, and the other guy did too. We both got the same response.

No, it will be months. Someone told me there was another issue with another Super7 line, and they promised 10/31 for fix packs, and people ended up getting them recently.

Yeah the Thundercats booster packs were supposed to be going out by mid-November according to Brian Flynn in an interview and I only got mine last weekend. Then again glow in the dark Mumm-Ra was solicitated for January and it actually came out on time. So who the hell knows anymore with those guys.

I still find it funny they called it a "booster" pack rather a "correction" or "repair" pack.

I was excited last week when they said they would be shipping. Now I’m just frustrated again. You don’t have to give daily updates...but weekly at this point would be something. It doesn’t look like I will be ordering directly from them ever again.

Are they on that stuck ship ? Or blocked by the stuck ship

Finally got to open Tanahashi. My thoughts, which only apply to Tanahashi, as it's the only one of these I bought: This is a very, very good figure that could have been a GREAT figure with some tweaks.


The good:
-The attire, while not a colorful choice, is perfectly executed.
-Both headscans look good, and I love that there's an entrance specific head with shorter hair to fit over the entrance gear. (Though there is a con about the heads below)
-The entrance jacket is one of the best piece pieces I've ever seen at this scale. Not sure what the material is, but I wish other companies would use it.
-The air-guitar and Tana-pose specific hands are spot-on.

The (mostly minor nitpicky) bad:
-I wish the expressive smiling head was the one cut to go with the entrance gear, while the stoic head would have been better suited to be the "wrestling" head.
-I wish he had hands specifically molded to hold the guitar. As of now, it's near impossible to pose.
-I know they're being fixed, and it's not the biggest deal for Tanahashi anyway, but the flesh-painted tape hands are inexcusable.
-The belt pins are really badly designed. I had to use tweezers to get the belt off, and I didn't even bother trying to refasten it when I repacked the box (moving soon, so currently keeping everything I buy MOC or repacked to make that easier.)

Overall, I really like this figure and I'm glad I bought it. Is it a few nitpicks away from perfect? Yes. But it is close, and frankly, I think there are a lot of people who are so hellbent on reinforcing the first impression those terrible first RSC photos left that they're ignoring how good this figure actually is. It has definitely sold me on grabbing Naito from series 2.

Great photos -- make this fig look awesome.

If someone is dissapointed by its Okada figure, i may be interested to buy it 😁

Gotta agree. The wait on these could be a month (or more) from when they shipped from Ringside. Extremely disappointing. The fact that the Legends of Lucha Libre figures are shipping now too ahead of Boss Fight, reinforces that I'll be ordering from Ringside on all of these lines in the future.

Super7 has stated RSC will not be allowed to ship early next wave. You can always cancel with RSC, though.

[kinnikuman]

I'd bet good money RSC still ships them early. S7 may have no control over that.

That may be the case, but if RSC is going and getting them on their dime, not sure how Super 7 can control when another business ships them. Even if they do, RSC is still cheaper than ordering from Super 7 with either free shipping or 10% off.

Have other toy stores had supplies yet?

I think Kyle Patterson on Youtube was hinting he got his from spamS

Shocking that the producers Super 7 still have not got their stock

[Jeremiah]

Damn wish they would drop series 3 pre orders already

I'll take that bet.

[shaneomac81]

EE just got there shipment in !
Ordered 2 Okada’s

[LaParka]

Series 3 pre-orders should hopefully go up on Thursday or Friday. Jay White confirmed so far. Hopefully its a Bullet Club wave you got 14 members and 4 need to make the cut. Yujiro Takahashi would be cool to have in the line

Update but not really:

Hello,

As of today NJPW Wave 1 Figures are still at port. We are incredibly sorry about this heavy delay and we're doing our best to work with the port to get the figures to our warehouse as soon as possible.

We hope to begin fulfillment next week and will try to expedite the process to get the figures to everyone quickly.

We appreciate your patience, thank you again for your support.

[WCWThunderRosa]

Switchblade, Tama, Fale, & KENTA should be the 4

[Steve Holt]

Even with all the controversy/delays, if they made belt packs I'd buy a bunch.
