Yes, but not without reason.

One is obviously Covid and how screwy shipping across seas has been the past year or so, and they have pushed back release dates so that items that arrive later than originally expected will still appear to arrive to retailers "on time" or even early.

The other is that Hasbro always just gives estimates, but these toys don't have hard street dates. So saying something will be out in June just means it will be out no later than June but will most likely pop up at most retailers a lot sooner.
