I guess if they are pushing back the date by days must mean they are on the water waiting to arrive any day and not weeks as if they haven't left the docks yet.

It may not be Diamond's choice when the playsets get on a boat.
This is peak manufacturing and shipping season in China - and all
the new regulations that just went into effect - are probably causing
havoc at the docks, which is exactly why I took a breather on new
production.
Congress passed a lot of new legislation last year just before the
elections and no one has worked out the details yet. These new
regs don't just affect toys - they involve all PVCs - polyvinyl cholrides -
which is what the heads are made of. I am not even ordering new
bodies until the dust settles.
I hope to find out more in June when I am in China. We will be staying
outside of Hong Kong so I plan on having lunch with my guy there - and
write the new baby as a business expense!Comment

When ever it's released, I'm totally getting one.You are a bold and courageous person, afraid of nothing. High on a hill top near your home, there stands a dilapidated old mansion. Some say the place is haunted, but you don't believe in such myths. One dark and stormy night, a light appears in the topmost window in the tower of the old house. You decide to investigate... and you never return...Comment

hello all...
we were invoiced for the Playset today, which means we will receive it on Tuesday/Wednesday...
however, I just noticed, diamond is only shipping us 40% of our order, so I have inquired as to when balance will ship

talked to diamond, my other 60% are filling from my import account...the 40% were reorders I placed with diamond, not my initial order from HK...so, looks like we will have extras to sell to, once received next week, if folks have not found sources (I believe we were the lowest priced, if that helps save folks a few bucks these days)Comment

It's great that these playsets are coming out, but I really think that overall, an opportunity was missed to get the general toy buying public into the retro Mego figures and playset. For us collectors who keep up on when something is released and who (in most cases online) has it, it really hasn't been a problem getting what we need. The only problem for us is patience. As for the average store goer, it's probably a little off-putting seing just two or three characters on the racks and wondering where the rest of the gang is. When these playsets arrive, will they be positioned (speaking mostly about brick and mortar shops) next to the crew? Somehow, the idea of buying a whole playset just to give Sulu and the Gorn a place to chill out doesn't seem that appealing.
As I said, we collectors know what's coming out and when. We WILL fill up that bridge. But for the casual store browsing toy/Star Trek fan the deal may be harder to close.Comment

I agree...there are plenty of places that will have, and no doubt everyone that wants one will easily be able to find....my only point is we are all selling the same item as everyone else, but we presold out , so if we are indeed getting extras and folks haven't yet preordered from somewhere, why not buy from the place that offers it the cheapestOriginally posted by PCofmisfittoys
