i don't buy the competition theory either. i mean someone in the company has to be able to figure out what other companies are planning on doing and releasing around the same time. they had to have known about the alien set, the looney tunes set. they had even been promoting it for all this time against their own PotC.Anders M Olsson wrote:If it is true, then some really major disaster must have struck.

I don't think the other explanations that have been posted here are the least bit plausible. They simply don't push release dates by five months (and with only three weeks notice) because of changed market strategies, or to avoid competition with other products.
They might reschedule one of the sets because of legal problems, but all four?
the demand issue makes the most sense to me. if the tin numbers we had before were accurate, perhaps demand did in fact exceed supply before supply was even available so they are trying to fix that..
oh well.. at least it does save us some money for the christmas season.
i guess it doesn't matter anyway, since it's going on the credit card in the first place
