I'm just very used to being able to preorder what I want and getting it without worrying and on time. As well as getting what I pay for and not having to worry about crappy QC or inconsistencies. I just don't understand how a company as old and big as Hasbro can't get their act together when it comes to distribution. I don't know, maybe I'm just too used to the well oiled machine that is the Japanese industry where distribution is consistent and on time and you never have to worry about your preorder falling through or getting delayed. We also shouldn't have to be chasing down these figures as much as we have to. Maybe I just don't have as much tolerance as you guys do when it comes to having to chase down Hasbro products.

I don’t think anyone is fully trying to refute what you’re saying here
Hasbro’s distribution does seem pretty random sometimes. I guess that can be frustrating sometimes, especially when there’s something specific that you’re looking for.
I’m also mostly an import collector, there’s companies there that are pretty notorious for funky delays (I suppose MAFEX mostly).
If I recall, a member on this board, Hoffman, who owns Canucktibles made a post at some point going into it a bit more from his side as a small business.
I don’t remember exactly what he said, and I might have to try and find his post, but I think he mentions that the distributor that Hasbro uses is mostly at fault, and also how Hasbro prioritises larger stores over smaller businesses.
I want to add that it’s nice to see some proper civil discussion going on here
