McFarlane DC Multiverse

The already-prototyped/manufactured Batmobile Grayscale Trinity looks really, really nice. I'd be tempted to just buy that with no mobile involved! That and a Bat Signal - still could use one of those.
 
I still intend to back at Tier 3, but I'm one of those that usually waits until the final few days of the campaign. People have tried to convince me to do it earlier in the past, but I never do. I just don't see the incentive. I'm sure that there are tons of other people out there like me.

I received my BvS Alfred figure from MTS yesterday. It was supposed to ship in May. The Phygital figures with Batman, Batgirl, Nightwing & Monarch will arrive today from MTS. The AzBat, Troika Batman & Batwing have shipped as well from MTS. I got an email that the Eradicator figure has finally shipped from MTS. That was also supposed to ship in May. Somehow it takes a week for the figures to leave Nevada, but a few days to arrive in PA.

It took MTS a while to ship my BvS Alfred as well. I got him about a week ago. But what really irks me is that I see everyone getting their Phygital sets of Batman, Batgirl, Nightwing and Monarch already delivered and in-hand from MTS, and mine haven't even shipped yet!! WTF? I ordered them within the first minute they went live. It takes like nine days for me to get anything from MTS after it ships, so it really pisses me off that they haven't even shipped them yet. I'm thinking of contacting them.

They've always been slow, but have been unusually slow lately. I've seen mentions of them receiving their own shipments late from China due to the tariff situation. I know that I recently received Hawkgirl and the Cowboy Batman / Armored GL / Eradicator bundle from MTS weeks after I'd seen them physically on shelves.

For what it's worth I have NML Batman, Stephanie and Monarch pre-ordered since Day 1 through Amazon and they all still say October 2nd as estimated arrival date there. I didn't want Disco Dick so I didn't do the bundle through MTS and I think that one or two of the ones that I wanted were already sold out on BBTS by the time I purchased.

I had the BvS Alfred pre-ordered form BBTS and I've had him for quite some time... and he had been in my PoL for a bit before I shipped.

My Bat bundle + Monarch arrived yesterday. I’m not sure why the speed is so variable. I used to regularly get figures ahead of retail from MTS. Sometimes by several weeks. This is the first time it’s happened in a while. On the other hand, Target is getting the CE wave before the preorder went up.

No telling what’s going on in the supply chain. I vaguely remember when a cargo ship with containers full of McFarlane product sank. Then there’s the hijackings and whatnot. Interesting times.

The MTS direct shipments were delayed due to the tariff situation. All this backlogged stuff is supposed to be arriving soon.

Kinda figured it was something like that. But I started noticing the delays even before the tariffs. I just figured Tar-Mart was getting pissed that online etailers were getting product in and back out before it hit the Distribution Centers of the Big Two. Around the time the Batman wave with multiple Platinums came out. It had the single Lucius Fox and Worlds Finest Composite Superman/Batman/Green Lantern.
 
What worries me is the last Phygital wave I ordered from MTS (Superman, Two-Face, Dr. Fate) wave took a while to ship as well. Then when it finally did ship it took like two weeks to actually arrive and then I discovered they had only sent me half of my order.

I had ordered two bundles, but they only sent one. It just showed up like that with no e-mails or notes in the box or any other kind of explanation. So I contacted them and they were like, "You need to send us a photo of what you actually received and a photo of the label on the box." So I did that and they replied "Oh yeah, we ran out of stock. We're trying to get more in, but if we can't we'll give you a refund."

So what? You were just hoping I wouldn't notice?

I actually did get the rest of my order a couple of weeks later, but I got the weird feeling if I hadn't contacted them I would have been SOL, because it seemed like they had no clue that they had screwed up my order. So, my confidence in MTS is somewhat shaken of late.
 
they did that to me once before... i ordered two of a bundle and they only sent me one. i contacted them and they needed photos of the shipment before they would send me the rest of it. but they did make it right.
screwups do happen sometimes.

Are we expecting any surprizes as regards reveals today?

I hope so. Todd showed at least a half dozen figures at WonderCon that weren’t on any leaked lists that I ever saw. And I go out of my way to try and keep up with the latest rumors, gossip and such for DCM. A reaction to years of collecting DCUC, where information was doled out with an eye dropper.

As for any guesses, I’d say JSA. Todd seems to have a certain fondness for them and may want to try to complete the team before his license is up. Maybe some more Infinity Inc. as well. I also think we see at least one of the five highly anticipated females. Black Canary, Zatanna, Ivy, Harley, or Talia should make an appearance. Although not on any formal leaked lists, these have all been rumored for a while now.

Beyond that, we should get some confirmation on stuff that was on the leaked lists. I especially want to see the Atom Smasher/Spectre deluxe 2-pack.

So we’re a little under eight hours away. I’m getting stoked.
 
I stopped at 2 local Target stores and they were resetting their shelves in the toy section. The one Target had a Target summer blowout or geekout endcap, no where near the action figures, with figures on the shelves. They were not displayed, but laying on their side. I went through them and found regular Kite Man, regular Metron, Platinum Darkstar & platinum Dark Archer. They also had regular Darkstar & Dark Archer, but I have those ordered already.
