Sorry 'bout this, guys; as KR says, it is a problem with the very
different
market structure between the US and UK. When we get a figure from the
sculptor, we bang it into a mould and hey, it's "available" (ie: we are
getting saleable castings) within a day! Even when KR gets the stuff
from
us (and I have to admit we've been slow on this recently, which hasn't
helped) he has to go through the whole process with the distributors,
who
work months ahead. But at least you get to buy the stuff off the shelf
in
your store, in nice coloured blister packs......
