Maketoys/Fansproject delays

[chovner]

Does anyone know any specific details/reasons as to why the Maketoys Mobine Missile Launcher/Paladin and Fansproject Corssfire sets have been delayed so long? Seems like they've been pushed out by one month everytime they're supposed to be released....
FP is currently looking to be released end of this month, and no idea about the Maketoys stuff...

Sadly, the online merchants are in the dark just like you are.
Mario recently complained about Maketoys' lack of communication.

Could be anything from quality control issues to funding to shipping delays or many other reasons. Only they know.

they're having trouble finding the boxes of them

I know MT was having massive work shop issues. That's why everything has been put on the back burner. Doesn't give them any reason to NOT respond toee-tailers and fans on Facebook.

Nike sweatshop "factories" are rehiring?

I wish they'd post SOMETHING about delays or anything on their Facebook pages.

Hasbro getting involved?

Would be weird to try with Mobine/Paladin since it's an original figure. Only thing I could imagine is if they had a patent on the PCC connector mechanism?

Even then, I think it's unlikely the issue is intellectual property.

I would be surprised if it wasn't about intellectual property. Aside from different naming, Hasbro and Takara know just as much as we do what and who these figs represent. I hope it isn't the case.
