Hot Toys - TMS035 - Bo-Katan Kryze (The Mandalorian Season 2)

I saw that the thread was bumped and thought I'd open to see the pallet of boxes and/or blogger pics

At this point, I'm just cancelling anything that gets bumped so I can get my NRD back. This stuff hangs around long enough to get discounted 10% anyway.

People who pre-order get shafted by Sideshow's weird shipping queue anyway.

She probably got bumped by the re-armored Boba figure because I could’ve sworn she was up for PO awhile before him, no?

Bo PO was March 2021
Boba PO was July 2021.

Make sense for them to bump it if it's just a repaint of the 2 pack.

I’m starting to do this on lower priority items as well since SS’s discount coupons are only working on in stock items vs POs.

hate to bump this thread with more bad news, but it looks like sideshow pushed back her expected release window yet again.

changed from sep-nov to nov-dec. hopefully it lands sooner but I dont see why theyd push back the dates if she was around the corner.

sigh…

Actually, I think this suggests that Bo-Katan will likely be released this month. As we all know, these figures took 6-8 weeks at minimum to reach Sideshow after the Hong Kong release. If Sideshow just updated this again, that means Hot Toys probably told them to expect the figure in November or December. 8 weeks from today would put us in November, so, I think we're actually going to see Bo drop in HK pretty soon based on this.

Hoping Bo gets released this or next month before the inevitable 2.0

Just got a delay email from SS, November to December. Good grief.

That's the same email they sent last week. Not sure why they sent it again.

I just got the email as well. I didn’t get the one last week. So that would be why.

After that big push in early spring with Maul, Ahsoka, Snowspeeder Luke etc etc, HT releases have come to a huge halt.

Its probably to give the face sculpt painters a good rest. There’s been at least 5 helmeted/repaint SW releases since then.

In order to get the NRD back when one cancels because of a delay do you need to call Sideshow or can you just do the cancellation online?

I think if you mark that checkbox during your purchase that says "protect my preorder from cancellation" it possibly forfeits the opportunity for your deposit to be refunded if you manually cancel due to delay. If you don't check the box, it'll supposedly auto cancel your order after like 30 days and you get refunded in full. I could be wrong though, I'm not affiliated.

Delays are inevitable in this hobby, I just ride it out if I really want the thing. Sometimes its probably more prudent to not preorder and wait for the actual release, but who knows what the production numbers ever truly are. Patients can typically get you a better deal after release, but in some cases, you snooze and you lose.

I got an email this morning saying my final payment for her would be charged 11/20. Take that as thou wilt. It looks to me like they must have a set date.

Just bumping this to see if anyone has seen this delayed again or are we actually getting close?

Hoping the delay is for a headsculpt adjustment.

Judging by the products that have been shipping with a few improvements, I could see this happening.
