I get the excitement of shows and reveals, but I'd be fine if they didn't show anything new for about a year and just worked down on the massive backlog of statues in the pipeline.

Makes sense, but i doubt it will happen. They will keep on showing new stuff. Delays can put collectors off.
Waiting 1 year is bad enough. 2 years is unacceptable. 3 years is just plain wrong. 3 years is old skool PCS level.

I think they'd implode if they went more than a month without showing a new Batman, Joker, Harley, or WW.

With the exception of my pre order for XM Lady Sif (now coming up on 5 years since her initial reveal) all the long waits are Prime 1.

Um...I don't think that will ever get made. If you made a deposit, I'd try to get that back at this point.

They put 3-4 statues on PO every week and just keep on delaying production, gap between NL showcase 1 and 2 was 8 months, tbh now it seems like time gap between NL showcase 2 and 3 is going to be ~4 months

What the ----

It is almost as if they are executing a pyramid scheme that will inevitably come crashing down at some point. They just keep taking deposits to fund the current run of statues (which are probably making a lot less money for them due to increased production costs). At some point, they may run out of cash and we'll all be out of luck.

Where did they announce the next showcase??

they said next one will be in fall 2021 and you can say in 2 months they'll run out of announced statues

Given the news today I can see part of the thinking will be to cancel some pieces entirely to free up space in the pipeline. Feel bad for folks excited about those and worry one (or more) of my P1 pre order pieces may suffer the same fate.

[Asgard]

I am not surprised by the cancellations and delays. P1 announces so many statues that I really wonder when they will all produce them
I'm curious if Wonder Woman vs. Hydra will be produced.

[Augen]

I feel like that one is fairly safe, but my Injustice 2 Wonder Woman? Feels precarious right now.
