Any Word on the EMCE Scotty/Keeper Set Yet?

[Lynn TXP 0369]

Who charges you upon ordering? Most places don't charge your CC for pre-orders until the the item is in-stock and ready to ship.

All the big guys here do that I've ordered from charge for preorders before they are in stock and ready to go.

I'm sure the major earthquack that has killed thousands in China recently hasn't helped things along much. They have more to worry about now then getting our toys to us.

I would agree with you if it were not for the fact that ALL of the figures have been delayed. I see a pattern here.

Where exactly in China are the EMCE's produced? China is a pretty big country.

That is both devistating as well as sad for any country to have to endure such a crisis.

There was also a delay after that lead crisis where some toys had to be recalled and because of that the extra control of ALL toys leaving China. You can hardly blame EMCE for that. Yeah, it sucks, but it makes finally receiving the figures extra sweet

You guys got my post all wrong. I don't blame anyone. I would just like real estimates of when figures are coming out.

[Meule]

No, I know you don't blame anyone. Just saying that those estimates would've been possible hadn't all this stuff happened in China. That's beyond EMCE's control, but it does set the release date back a few weeks

The latest release date I heard was May 28th. While I hold no confidence in that date, the figures should have been in the water well before now in order to even come close to that date. None of the recent events should have affected that shipment, and if they did, someone should have changed expectations by now. Just my 2 cents.

Yup! My Friend is a Diamond Direct Dealer...if they were coming out on May 28th, He would have know last friday, when He got his Invoice.

Hulk, it sounds like you missed what was written here a couple days back - DST has changed the release date on their website to June 25th.

[Hulk]

Gee, am I surprised? Nope. My comments about them likely hitting the water before the earthquakes still apply though. Thanks for the info though.

[Sideshow Spock]

According to DST's site, the release of Scotty & The Keeper has been changed from May 28 to June 25...

And now the site shows the set additionally delayed to July 16.

[megomaniac]

At this rate they'll be ready for shipping by Christmas...

[Sideshow Spock]

Coming up on the oft-revised Scotty & Keeper date now. Don't see any changes at DST's site, so maybe they'll show?

[txteach]

They will be here the second Tuesday of next week.
