    I just called and was told that the clam shells didn't get shipped with the figures, they have the figures in hand. Clam shells are on the way by boat but won't be in for two to four weeks. I'm considering cancelling my pending orders and he said to send an email but hoped I reconsider.

        They are shipping loose figures? And female figures have yet to sport hair-bands?

        Yikes.

          If 2-packs had shipped this week I'd have Aquaman, Green Arrow, Shazam, and Supergirl with my Superman and Wonder Woman right now!

            I asked to have mine shipped loose and they wouldn't do it....probably a legal thing

              Or they don't want to eat the shipping for sending the figures and then sending the packaging later.

                ^^ I'm talking about not even getting the bubbles if you didn't really want them. My figures are free range.

                  It's like Teemu said, they are probably not legally allowed to sell the figures loose. They probably have to sell them packaged with the cards that prominently display and advertise the DC name, logo, and character.

                  There are a lot of restrictions when dealing with licensed properties. I am glad that they have not been force to make New 52 DC figures. Yet.

                    just zipper bag them with the card then.

                      Waiting for figures that are delayed is part of collecting. I hope guys didn't help kickstart Action Jackson or you'll be furious. Venting about long wait times isn't going to make China go any faster.

                        I am patiently waiting for AJ still. Wonder if there is a deadline set by Kickstarter to fulfill the rewards? I have zero interest in the repros that CTVT is doing, I was just wondering about alternatives to waiting a month for bubbles that loose figure collectors are going to discard anyway.

                          Its not the wait that irritates me, its the crappy business practices. Waiting for manufacturing and all that is fine.

                          In the Mego days, Megos were often shipped in baggies inside coffinlike brown cardboard boxes. No packaging whatsoever. I used to order from Heroes World, recieved my Lizard and Iron Man like that.

                            In the Mego days, the licenses were handled much differently too. Companies are smartly much more in control of their brands and how they are presented for public consumption. I kind of miss the old days.

                              I got charged on 8/22/14 and received an email on 8/24/14 saying my two-packs were shipped. No other updates.
