Generation Selects Turtler and Gulf (Snaptrap and Skalor) at Zing/EB

Don't they know Transformers are made in Vietnam not China?

Depends if the stock is from Hasbro's SEA branch in HK.

[Paulbot]

Wouldn't actually mind if they all came in together.

Has anyone gotten their figures yet? My preorder status says Turtler is "Out Now", but Gulf is the 15th of March.

I asked today and everything was pushed back except what was due out this week, which they think means it hasn't been updated yet with the delay.

Would that mean Lio Convoy is still due this week?

I just got off the phone with EB Games call centre. Yeah, they blamed the coronavirus. Also, the Seacons that are due this week on the 29th are not in the country yet.

[Sinnertwin]

So all the stores & customers that got theirs must have been from the pre-virus batch?

[Tha_Phantom]

I got mine from not-EB last Monday and didn't die of the CoRonAs.

So their explanation of why the coronavirus is preventing shipment is plausible given some of the crazy shipping routes freight companies have.

Apparently the company that they are shipping with wants to take the figures from where they are right now in Vietnam, to China and then to Australia. From the sounds of it, they are not open to changing that route.

Also, the freight company has given toys a low priority. So even though they are shipping other items, it's only things that they have deemed a high priority.

Apparently EB Games is trying to get their stock given a higher priority though.
