Woner Woman Mini Statue delayed to November 23???? I know DC pull this crap all the time, but this is my first exposure to it. Man, I'm pissed off. I checked last week and their website was telling me October 26. What am I going to do now will all the candles and scented oil I bought?

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

DC Direct always goes for about a 6-month lead time between solicitation and delivery.
They set edition sizes based on initial orders, which means actual manufacture does not begin until orders are all in. This increases the lead time, which also gives them more time to work out problems before production actually starts. This also increases the accuracy of the projected delivery date. While not 100%, DC Direct hits the original release target more often than anyone else.
Most other companies set edition sizes in advance and already have the production process in motion before soliciting. While this shortens the theoretical lead time, most projected shipping dates are postponed one or more times due to unanticipated production delays.
