Has anyone gotten notifications from your shop of choice that the TNG products have been delayed due to production issues?
For reference the products I ordered are the Stegodon and Mammoth.
No, fortunately -I ordered fairly early, after the discussions on this thread had reached their conclusion and I'd made up my mind to get the five mammals.

Fingers crossed there will be no more delays then. Really wanted that Stegodon, and would be a shame if they stopped production.

I ordered the Stegodon but it was marked as a pre-order.  I've heard no more progress reports.

From POP Shack Store:

"The manufacturer has a problem with the production tools. TNG Huanghe Flumen Stegodon is not yet manufactured. The latest news is that the production will be finished by the end of this month. But your order will be closed in 18 days. Would you please extend the delivery time of this order to 30 days? Sorry for the inconvenience."

Thanks avatar_Flaffy @Flaffy. The shop had asked to extend the order time when I placed the order. Fingers crossed!

It's a terrific figure, well worth the wait, IMO.

From everything I've seen, indeed, it looks amazing.

I'm just hoping the issues aren't related to the mould deteriorating. As that would permanently affect future batches of the figure.

When I ordered the Stegodon on Aliexpress it wasn't noted it was a pre-order. Only after a few weeks when I looked up my order to see if it had shipped yet, I saw that it would not be send until march. I'm not going to extend the delivery time and just wait for my money to be returned. Homey don't play that.
I will order it somewhere else or wait for Eofauna to make one in the future.

I was Thinking about posting this thought for a while since I don't want to revive previous discussions but... Maybe the title of this thread can be edited? Even without knowing the context it looks a little aggressive to me.

Agree.

I pre-ordered the Cryolophosaurus, Quetzalcoatlus and Carnotaurus from Pop shack store and have not received any updates since.  I was asked to extend the order time after placing my order, which I did.

Agree.
Doesn't it have to be edited by the originator of the thread itself?

Or a moderator.
In the kingdom of the blind, better take public transit. Well, in the kingdom of the sighted, too, really--almost everyone is a terrible driver.

Quote"(A Continued Exercise in Tedium)"

kinda passive agressive, don't you guys think? Are we now only allowed to talk about stuff some members like? Or, when the members agrees with their views, it's ok, when members disagree, becomes tedious.

Or is it that now threads have expiration date? You can't bore people by commenting on it, because people are of the opinion the subject has been over discussed.  ::)


Certainly the thread's content and magnitude has expanded and is expanding beyond the original scope, while still being roughly consistent with it's original intent. I don't think that it's at all tedious to the ongoing participants currently involved.

I've received the message too.

I checked my Aliexpress account today and there was a message from the seller of the TNG products.  It said that the factory would not be producing the TNG Carnotaurus so I should cancel my order.  I proceeded to cancel my order, which I was fine with.  I also cancelled the order for the TNG Quetzalcoatlus as I no longer want it.  My order for the TNG Cryolophosaurus, which I still want, is unchanged.  I hope to receive that one.

Chasmosaurus

I received my elasmotherium today. I've order it at the beginning of the month.
I think they produced to mutch figure at once.

Hmm. I wonder if that was a glitch/mistake. Had a new update this morning that seems to cancel the previous update and now it's just no information available about delivery date.

My Elasmotherium arrived yesterday and the Stegodon (ordered in January) shipped early this morning

ceratopsian

Well that gives me some comfort!
