Tweeterhead Updates
I will try to keep this updated as best as I can.
June 3rd 2019
Hey, Thanks for being so patient last week and today! I'm just back and digging through emails and fb messages. Did I mention before how much Debbie did that I took fro granted...HA! Lots of messages. Just wanted to say THANKS to everyone that ordered Batman last week. I knew this was going to be a good one and I was so thrilled with the orders rolling in. Ru is HERE in San Francisco, but we are still waiting for the release! We have stacks of label just waiting to go!! Donna Troy is almost on her way and Wonder Woman, Batman and Catwoman are all in production. It's going to be a busy summer and honestly, I'm stressing about SDCC...but that's how it is every year HA!! Oh, the plan is to show you guys SHAZAM tomorrow...I'm not back until late tonight (nieces graduation) so I hope I can pull that off. If nothing else, you will see at least one or two pics of him tomorrow!! Thanks for being so awesome. I know with Deb gone and waiting to get someone new, it;s been a little slower getting responses...but I'm here and will get to you all!! As ALWAYS Thanks, you guys rock!!

"Donna Troy is almost on her way"
Not sure if this means still on the boat, in port, or in house. Hopeful for July release.

Usually “almost on the way” means it will be ready to ship in 1-2months. I also remember Chad saying she won’t be in her own container, so the process will take longer than bigger orders. And, the final invoice has not been sent yet for Donna Troy so I don’t see her shipping any soon. I think she will ship in late July - August.

Almost on her way to me means on her way from China. Add customs to this and I think the best case is August.

I don't know what the picture's like on the business side of things. I don't know how costly it would be, but I'd think a simple solution would be to make some extras in case of damage/breakage. I don't know what the norm in this hobby is for replacements, but 9 months (as of now) for a couple replacement parts seems a little out there.
I know, Chad's under staffed and doing his best. I understand that and I'm not trying to beat him or TH up. Maybe there's a perfectly good reason why they aren't, but I think making some extra pieces (doesn't have to be a bunch) at the time of production would alleviate some stress for everyone involved.
