100% correct.
When you buy from a retailer - it's a contract between you and the retailer. If the retailer can not complete the contract - they are liable for any fallout.
This is precisely why retailers can sell products that the manufacturer can't due to licensing restrictions related to sales regions. It's a loop hole that allows the manufacturer to effectively dodge those regional restrictions because, technically, there's no contract with the customer in the restricted region.
Unfortunately for retailers who do this, that loop hole works against them in the event of a claim due to damage, or if the company goes bankrupt, or decides to out-right cancel a statue.
I'm just surprised that if this statue is cancelled, that Spec Fiction hasn't reached out to their customers to offer a refund. It seems a little shady that they're waiting for the customer to approach them....what if the customer doesn't follow the statue news that closely, and just trusts SF - it will come when it comes....
