DIAMOND SELECT TOYS LLC & Bowen Designs

These items are typically released 2 months or so late.

DARK HORSE COMICS

Many Star Wars & miac, comics are late each month, and Dark Horse does not usually send us updated release dates...

IMAGE

Image releases almost every title late every month and rarely hits even their updated release dates, so we are no longer updating the Image releases. Just assume that they will be late by 1-4 months on the average with almost every title.
