I haven't heard anything else to that effect though. If these were already produced, my thoughts are either some paint was found to be unsafe at a later date, or there was some sort of unsafe/hazardous material or contaminant discovered late in the game at either the manufacturing, the assembling, or the packaging plant for these. But I've got no sources (yet) on that, just a guess. |
With six days before launch, if they weren't sitting in warehouses, someone would have noticed and it would have spread throughout the gaming sites as to why the Batmobile edition wasn't in the warehouse but other versions were. I had heard through some contacts with a major retailer that they had them in their possession but were then told not to ship them to customers as the shipping process to customers so they would have them on launch day of next week would have been starting today or Friday so they would arrive on time for Tuesday's launch. Did every retailer have them sitting in their warehouses? That I can't say but some clearly did.
I just really would like to know the real reasons behind it all and why the last 11th hour decision to cancel from WB rather than read something where they are pointing the blame at TriForce or whomever. Ultimately WB cancelled it and did so just before launch and that is what has most people scratching their heads asking "Why six days before launch?"
For what it's worth my order online is still showing "in processing". Would be funny if it actually shipped.
