Any Word on the EMCE Scotty/Keeper Set Yet?

[Sideshow Spock]

Well, you knew it was bound to happen: DST has now updated their site with yet another change for Scotty & the Keeper.. 7/16 is out the window and the new date is 8/27.

So now, Scotty & Keeper, which were originally scheduled for May release and have been delayed three different times, are now coming out AFTER Uhura and Mugatu, which are scheduled for 8/20.

Of course, if you think that 8/20 date will hold for Uhura and Mugatu, then you can definitely count yourself an optimist..

Are there two Tuesdays next week? Better than two Mondays I guess.

[txteach]

They will be here the second Tuesday of next week.

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

[megomaniac]

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

[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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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

[txteach]

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]

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.

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

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.

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

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