    Release date for Pre ordered items

    Has anyone received any release/ship dates for any of the TOPPS figures and/or GI Joe (Storm Shadow/Snake Eyes) figures? I know the GI Joe was touted as "fall 2021" and the TOPPS were 100 days past the close of the pre sale.

    If my math is right it's about the time for the first TOPPS figures to be released, and we're in fall 2021. Just wondering there is any target dates for either of these? If there has been and I missed it please delete the topic.

    Thanks!!

    The Topps figures are supposed to ship 90-100 business days after ordering has closed so I wouldn’t expect them this year.

    Shazam and Black Adam ended August 23rd and 20 weeks from that would be the beginning of February. I wouldn’t be surprised by shipping delays, so possibly by spring 2022?
    Expectation is the death of discovery.

      I think the nature of the Hasbro-Pulse GI Joe exclusives is different from Topps in that they are making a fixed amount since they announced that figures will be available by fall 2021 when they were first offered in the summer and they are sill available to purchase. In any case there website indicates "availability to ship Fall 2021".

        Any word on the GI Joe set? Looking forward to them in hand and on the shelf.

          Nope! no word on the GI Joe, no word on the Topps pre orders. 100 days out from the end of the first Topps figures was 12/1/2021 if I did my math right. Still no word.

          If I had to guess it's all hung up in the supply chain mess, but it'd be nice for someone to update us all.

            It’s 100 business days. If you figure 5 business days a week, 100 days would be 20 weeks. Shazam ended Aug 23rd.

            However, if you go to Topps site, they have Shazam and Black Adam estimated shipping from Dec 27th to Jan 10th.

            EDIT! Today, Topps sent emails stating that the delivery dates will be delayed. I was actually surprised by Topps announced delivery dates. I still think it will be Spring 2022.

              Here is the text of the email I received from Topps on Friday:

                  Green Arrow has Topps shipping date of Aug 27 to Aug 31 2021 so we know that's not happening.

                    I’ll be pleasantly surprised if any of these ever ship.

                    If not, oh well, I guess hundreds of dollars in refunds will make my wife happy.
