Delay on Darth and Stormtrooper Lego Maquette, Free Items?
This is what i received from Starwarsshop.com
Dear Customer,
You may have noticed that from time to time, Star Wars collectibles that are
sold on StarWarsShop.com (LucasArtsStore.com) and/or other online retailers ship
at a later date than originally scheduled. Sometimes the product ships a week
later (and sometimes months later) than expected. We want to address this fact
as some of you have expressed curiosity as to why product shipment delays
happen.
Ship dates can change for any number of reasons. It can be the result of
delayed product approvals, changes in a manufacturers production plan, or
delayed materials shipments. Recently this year, an economic shift has
occurred in Southern China. As many Star Wars collectibles are manufactured in
this region, manufacturers are faced with constraints that delay production and
shipment of finished product.
This brings us to the LEGO Star Wars Maquettes. The Stormtrooper and Darth
Vader characters were scheduled to ship this month and next. However, due to
manufacturer constraints, production of these pieces was delayed and is now
scheduled for Summer 2007. That said, we expect to have the maquettes in the
U.S. and ready to ship to you by late August. For those of you that purchased
the LEGO Star Wars Boba Fett Maquette, we expect that piece to ship early
September.
We deeply apologize for the delay, and we understand the frustration you may
be experiencing . We are currently working on a collectible item that we would
like to give to you free of charge, along with your LEGO Star Wars Maquette.
This item will never be sold and only available to you. Within the next few
weeks, we will send a follow-up email that shows you what this item is. Talk to
you then!
Sincerely,
StarWarsShop.com
