DISRUPTIONS AT WEST COAST PORTS DELAY ARRIVAL OF 1/100 SCALE ROBOTECH TOYS

Disruptions at West Coast ports have delayed the arrival of the 1/100 scale toys from Toynami.

The slowdown in the West Coast ports has been a much bigger deal than people think,” said Fred Smith, chief executive of FedEx Corp. The package-delivery giant has added flights from Asia to the U.S. as desperate retailers send more goods by air, and it has even had to cap volume for some. On the other hand, the port delays contributed to lower-than-expected U.S. ground volumes for the company last month.

[edit]

For retailers, the disruption upsets schedules that have been planned months in advance. Generally inventory decisions are made in the spring and shipping plans for the holidays are put in place by the summer. Retailers, like Tommy Bahama, which is owned byOxford Industries Inc., could pay the price in lower sales and weaker margins if goods don’t arrive in time, Mr. Wood said.

CROWDFUNDINSIDER ARTICLE ON ROBOTECH ACADEMY RAISING OVER 100,000 USD!

CrowdfundInsider.com has an article on Robotech Academy 

A week after the launch of its crowdfunding campaign on Kickstarter, Harmony Gold Productions’ new project “Robotech Academy” has raised over $100,000 from close to 1,700 backers.  The entertainment company started the campaign to seek $500,000 to bring the animated series to television.

In 1985, the animated series known as “Robotech” hit the airwaves in the U.S. and became an overnight sensation. Combining fast-paced giant robot action with some genuinely mature drama, it was a different kind of show for many children who were tired of the usual cartoons.  For many fans, it was their first exposure to Japanese animation, and is often credited with starting the anime industry in the U.S.

Carl Macek, the producer of “Robotech,” was recently working with Harmony Gold on “Robotech: Academy.” The new series is set in the Robotech universe and follows several new cadets in their adventures around the universe.
