Got my confirmation that Big Ben and the Range Vipers I ordered are shipping so it is just the waiting game now.

From Walmart: "We apologize, but one or more items in your order are delayed."

So, I don't know when I will get Big Ben and Range Viper...

Sorry to hear that man, hope it gets sorted.

What's worse is that they both went back up for order on the US site while we were still waiting to see if anything would ship for us.

Also I picked up my Crimson Strike Team from Gamestop today and they had a Valkyries set on the shelves!!!  What the hell.  Now they are getting some of the Pulse exclusives at Gamestop??  I guess we'll see what happens in the next couple months if Snow Job, the Trouble Bubble or Tripwire show up at Gamestop as well.    My hope is that Chuckles get a release up here somehow since I missed out on him.

As for the Crimson Strike Team, they are pretty great.  The Twins look good in the red, but the Baroness is who really shines.  Her breastplate is painted in a metallic red that really pops, and her heads are much better than the previous retail releases.  I still am not a big fan of the masked face, but overall the set is pretty great.  I also like the box and the little insert which has the gold bars on it.  Just kind of wish the box was a bit more metallic, or looked more like a briefcase.

Amazon is the worst.   They can take the pre-order, but they rarely fulfill the pre-order.  No Snow Serpent for me.  And of course all of the other places I could have pre-ordered this figure are sold out.

Order placed
June 21, 2023

"Due to lack of availability, we will not be able to obtain the following items from your order. We've cancelled the items and apologize for the inconvenience. If you see a charge for the cancelled items, we will refund you within 1-2 business days. If you are still interested in purchasing these items, it may be available from other sellers. Please visit the detail page for these items below."

Just got my shipping confirmation from Walmart for BB and RV.  Estimate is for Monday, so probably Tuesday.

Sitll annoyed about Amazon, if you can't fulfill the order, don't take pre-orders.

Bad news for Firefly:

https://youtu.be/vZYH0k4vK18?feature=shared

I think it is an early production problem.  There have been lots of reports of people getting loose Fireflys and this seems to be the first batch getting to retail.  However I have seen two people report the problem and said they returned it, got a new one and no problem with looseness. 

So my hope is that it is an early production problem that got fixed.

If anyone cares, Snow Serpents are back in stock on amazon (they cancelled my pre-order only to then relist them a week later)

Yeah I saw that yesterday, but there was only 1 left, and nothing shows up this morning.   I'm hoping that they have more on the way.

Also just a heads up that TRU is having a sale on Joe starting today 25% off.
