Work slowdown at Port of Long Beach means "no collectibles for you!"

[Chronos1919]

Ugh, I know. I would kill to make that kind of money.

Without spending money on further education, is the kicker.

 

[Darklord Dave]

So if you're like me, this will be about 7-10 items all shipping at once if the slowdown/strike ends tomorrow. If SSC charges everyone for all the items at once - that might be a problem.

 

[Darklord Dave]

I'll try and update the first post with the list as we know it. There doesn't seem to be any consistency to which items they're sending emails about. I just know about Superman and Plissken because they should have shipped last Friday, but I didn't get a 'delayed' email. I JUST got an email about the Wonder Woman PF.

"Collectibles on indefinite sea sabbatical:"
1:6 Capt. Rex
Poison Ivy PF (green)
Superman 1:6
Keaton Batman PF
Snake Plissken 1:6
Wonder Woman PF
Sinestro PF

Hot Toys figures are getting delayed as well. Starboost, Igor, Star-Lord and Strike Suit Captain America have been moved back.

Looks like this is going to be the year of epic delays . I got an email a few days ago that the last flex payment for my Snake Plissken figure is pushed to next month. I wonder if it'll go onto March.

 

[Armymedic1980]

Oh brother, what else can happen in this cruel, complicated world. I guess my Wonder Woman will just have to wait until those baggage handlers come back to work, the profession they selected.

 

[Sweet Rabbit]

The Hulk PF is on the list now

 

[Taibhse]

Oh goodie, I was looking for political opinions from doll collectors.

Yup.. I remember being lectured at length, awhile back about the fact it was Verboten! to discuss politics on this forum...

 

[Darth Snoopy]

Thanks for the info, Dave. I didn't get an email and was wondering what happened to Supes.

Hopefully they can get a decent wage. I just don't know how they could possibly live on just $41 an hour.

 

[Darklord Dave]

Wow, I never really thought about the amount of stuff that ships in a month from SSC. Of this entire list there are only about 5 things I'm NOT getting.

 

[thecapn]

Seems like they're definitely being cautious. I got an email that my last flexpay for Falcon was moved back to April. I know there's time between Hong Kong's release and ours, but >4 months is longer than I recall it being (though I haven't bought an HT from SSC in a while).

 

[goat46]

add Batman PF to the list.

[Chronos1919]

I got an e-mail for the comic Batman PF and for Queen of the Dead.

Just because we collect dolls, doesn't relegate us to to simple-minded. Some of us have high I.Q.s, and are savvy to how economics and politics work.

 

[WWEJedi]

So they got $40 an hour in 2002! And they are on strike for that!

Seriously lets see all the stuff I ordered, was about to order with RP/christmas money....

Rex
R2-D2
Star Lord
Taun-Taun
Captain America

So if this does not get cleared up soon there will still be delays felt that could affect other figures....

What a joke those worker are.

Right here workers.... .

 

[HODLr]

Big picture, guys...

You're right. I will happily wait months on my statues, if the people striking, lose their jobs.

These were suppose to ship in December, it would be easier through process of elimination to list the ones that have shipped. So far we know there is a partial shipment of Red Hulk Poison Ivy King Hulk and Catwoman

The rest have been delayed in some way or another.
