Apparently there was simply a delay with the stockists, as originally given as the reason, and in this situation there was nothing they could do. It’s worth remembering that fp.co.uk did get their stock early as well, so the gap is greater.

I’m assured that the stock has arrived with them in the warehouse today and have been fast tracked through, hopefully all being sent out tonight. So hopefully we should possibly see it arriving by the end of the week.

They stress that there was no connection between the delay and the fact that these had been SDCC exclusives.

So for the future there is no reason other than luck which would suggest fp.com orders will be slower. I therefore find no reason to advise you don’t use them in the future. I’m pleased to once again support them as a good place to get your figures.
