Angry, tired customers are not good for business, nor is leaving money on the table by not selling to people who want to give you money. Those things are the signs of a mismanaged business and suggest certain individuals need to be re-trained or replaced.

Fans who can't get a product from the people otherwise holding the license hostage are entitled to be frustrated at the handling, or mishandling, of the license and the poor distribution and availability of product. Some fans express it more crazily than others, but their frustration is real and fair.

I think everyone understands there are limitations that come with the license and whatever carveouts and caveats there may be, but you can't just use that as a scapegoat. NECA needs to figure **** out. Based on their track record, this schedule means **** to me. No credibility.

That hasn’t been a business model since the 50’s. Anything that is a “luxury item” is ALWAYS under produced. Video game systems, hot toys (Both the brand Hot Toys and hot items like Tickle Me Elmos and Furbies), etc... if something is in demand, it disappears fast. Sorry, but no company, especially today, is going to produce to demand unless it’s straight to consumer, and then you are looking at $50 ea like Super7. Neca either doesn’t want or isn’t allowed to do that with the Tmnt stuff. Which is fine by me, I’ve never had an issue finding Neca product.
