This is getting REALLY bad
Vessels backing up at an alarming rate on the West Coast

Luckily Goro is out of the docks and in the also backed up storage area. They thought we'd have him a few days ago but looks like now its going to be tomorrow which means we start shipping Monday.
Hopefully this is fixed by mid-late March when Baraka, Teela, Akuma Busts and Skeletor Busts are expected to arrive.
I feel bad for Sideshow right now as they have a lot stuck out there (including some pieces Ive ordered from them)

I went to a general store. They wouldn't let me buy anything specifically.

Bummer. Hope to get Teela ASAP. But it is what it is. Not really your fault Jerry. Anybody be foolish to hold you responsible if these are delayed.
Out of curiosity, what pieces did you order from sideshow?

Whats really going on down there? Is it the union holding them back? Or just not enough workers?

There are plenty enough workers. They are just blackmailing the port owners with slowdowns to influence contract negotiations. Long Beach and LA has already lost a ton of business that won't be coming back. Hopefully, the ports will one day be completely automated like many are overseas. No longshoremen ruining everyone else's business then.

This times 1000 especially when the workers, holding everyone's goods hostage, are make over six figures in pay/benefits. It should be illegal to use people's goods as a bargaining chip, and people wonder why so many despise unions.
