I remember the last time I went down to TO for a con in 2019 (HorrorRama maybe), I was thinking about stopping by NMC because I had once entertained attempting to get POTP RedSwoop & Stepper from these guys
But it was way past the posted expected ETA on the listings, so I was a bit wary, figured I had less to lose by visiting
Just went back & re-read the emails so I don't mis-represent the scenario; the listing for Stepper said something like "only 4 in available" but the listing also said "arrival in Feb 2019" - so I basically just asked "hey does this mean you guys have some, maybe I can stop by when I'm in town"
He confirmed they didn't have any yet, and that basically I can't trust pre-order dates - but I will say, in August 2019 the email wasn't nasty or anything
Worst he said was "I cannot ship what I am not shipped", which is MAYBE close to sounding chuffed but I get it
Anyways I think I was heading towards it being impossible to visit his shop, but re-reading the emails it was more that I was planning to, but for a specific goal and decided not to because response suggested it may be fruitless afa my goal was concerned
I remember driving by the address and not being able to locate it (couldn't stop in traffic though, just hoping to drive-by and note it), they didn't have a big sign or anything
Maybe that's what I'm remembering
