Not all of them of course, but at least a couple of these will be hitting the aftermarket. All the figures look good but the only way I can justify these things is to sell off the lesser figures to fund the keepers. There's just too much junk in these crates.
Yyyyyeah. IIIiiiii..... can't imagine that I'll want to keep all of the stuff that comes in the various Loot Crates.

I'm down for coffee mugs! Always! Shirts, probably not so much, and little rubber trinkets and pins and $#!( like that even less.

But that's just all "pop culture stuff" conversation - I have no judgement on these Loot Crates as of yet other than "boy they sure are taking their time while holding our funds!"

well that is the world we collectors live in now since everything is a pre-order.

FedEx alerted me of a tracking number has been entered into their system from XB Logistics which is NECA and Lootcrate....so the Danny crates are beginning to get ready to ship out.

Loot Crate Delays

I got an email today regarding Loot Crate delays. I don't know if this pertains to Danny or future crates. I also don't know if this email is being sent to everyone or some Loot Crate subscribers:

Dear Looter,

We are sorry to report that you may experience crate shipping delays in the upcoming months.

Due to ongoing issues with COVID-19, global shipping routes have been jammed, and transit times have been affected by major port delays and lockdown restrictions. In California, dozens of container ships are stuck outside the main ports due to labor shortages. These ports account for about one-third of U.S. imports. As a result, our ability to deliver crates on time has been impacted.

Please know that our team is doing everything in our power to get your crates to you, as we continue to prioritize safety and improve the Looter experience.

Thank you for your patience during this time. We’ll continue to keep you updated on new shipping dates if your crate is impacted. In the meantime, you can refer to our article with the most up-to-date shipping schedule: https://loot.cr/update.

If you have any questions, please contact our Customer Support team at http://loot.cr/help.

Sincerely,
Team Loot Crate

When did you order? I haven't gotten one of these messages (so far) and I put in an order for the whole set on March 13. Also I've seen on social media that people are getting messages from Lootcrate canceling their order because they oversold.

I wonder how they will handle the inventory. I also ordered on the first day they went live (March 13?) but I still got a delay notification email.

Clicking the link shows that the Danny crate is scheduled for early September, which was delayed from august. Don’t worry about the email, I got it after I already got my tracking number.

I bet (and hope) they will cancel from people that ordered single boxes and not those who ponies up for the bundle.

Why would they cancel? They were made to order

One would think, but they have been sending out emails to the unfortunate that “due to a computer error, the loot crates were oversold and can not all be filled”, so some are being canceled. We do not know if those who were unlucky were purchasers of a single crate or a full set.

well they did sell out before the pre-order window so it was not necessarily 'made to order'

So it could be that they did 10k and they sold out but by the time the inventory system was notified they sold 10,134 or something like that.

Not sure how you can over-sell a pre-order when they were not even produced yet at the factory

Probably by accidentally accepting 11k orders when you've only planned to produce 10k because of manufacturer order requirements. Like if the factory will only let you place orders for 5k increments NECA wouldn't be prepared to take the hit for that extra 4k, they'd rather pass that loss onto the customer and just cancel orders.

I have no idea if that's what happened, or even if that's how it works in the toy industry. I just know I've run across such problems in the vidya game realm.

He also has an interchangeable head/mouth. It's compatible with our Turtles in Disguise figures.

The figure also has a wired cape and turtle smoke bomb accessory.
Ooh, nifty!
