Every PCS piece has an estimated ship date on the product page. This piece is estimated for a July 2017 release. I think it's within reason to go by that date until a delay is announced.
Some things to add here too.
- I think it's important for collectors to understand that delays are a common part of this hobby. Every company experiences delays, no matter their price levels. Since these pieces are mainly done by hand, it can take plenty of time to finish at the level of detail we see.
- From what I understand from a past post by Jerry, the factories do have sort of "line" before a statue goes into full production. There's few factories that can work at the level of detail these statues command, yet there's still many statues being released. So that builds up a line to get things through production.
Of course, money is probably a major factor in that, and we know that PCS prices on the more affordable level at good quality. That comes with longer waiting times.
People want lower-priced, affordable statues, yet still want fast delivery times. That will come at a much higher premium.
- PCS is trying to reduce the wait time by putting up statues for preorder later rather than sooner. Though I suppose that does cause collectors to constantly ask for x statue to be put up for preorder.
