I agree, distro has been stink this year, even down here in States. I've only seen the Credit Cara in person out of everything here. And really, haven't seen anything significant on shelves since the new Black Series boxes hit. Some here and there I passed on because it was a single Ewok etc. Couple that with delayed or random arrival dates for smaller online retailers and it's super frustrating.

Covid delays from Asia thru shipping and trucking, increased demand due to people being home, increased exclusives via retailers that aren't set up for that method of retail, bots, scalpers, etc etc. AND, there has just been some really good stuff put out by multiple companies on lines aside from all that this year. Star Wars, GI Joe, Transformers, McFarlane DC are all pumping out great stuff at retail.

Perfect storm of grrrr.

I think it will all even out in 2021, but that doesn't help those that want stuff hot off the presses.
