Automaton: quick update regarding Maketoys Green Giant.

Hi everyone,

A quick update here regarding Maketoys Green Giant Set arrival:

The set, hopefully, will be in stock next week. Originally, Maketoys has informed us that the set was (supposedly) ready to be released and shipped around July 22 ; hence, we invoiced the item around this date, based on this info. Obviously, Maketoys had some delay in the release due to QC problems. They notified us again last week that our order was ready to ship last weekend (August 4): again, they cross-checked us and another delay occured. They're simply not ready for release but keep telling us they are, so...

Though we will be officially ''closed'' for a 2-weeks vacation (from August 10 to August 24), I have taken special dispositions so that the sets may be processed and shipped to our customers who have paid their order, if the sets are to show up, at last, during that 2-week timeframe.

Please keep in mind that normally, we do not invoice preordered items that early before the release. The invoicing process normally occurs 7-10 days prior the item's arrival at our warehouse. Though we have absolutely no control on how those ''toy makers'' are managing their releases, our deepest apologies for this delay.

I will spread this information via Cybertron.ca and our Facebook page to make sure everyone knows about the current status of Green Giant. :-)

Best Regards and thanks for your patience and support,

Mario and the team at Automaton

PS. By the way, this awesome set is still available for preorder. :-)

Thanks for the update. Rather wait for things to be made right than get a rushed and flawed product. Officially in wait patiently mode.

And this is why I buy from Automaton first. Excellent customer service in addition to reasonable prices. Plus, supporting a Canadian company is a big bonus

Awesome, thanks for the update! I had forgotten that you've already invoiced for this - I even paid right away. I guess I probably tried to block out the memory of the pain to my wallet! ;-)

Re: Sponsor News: Automaton Toys update Maketoys Green Giant

so if maketoys say that the green giant has QC issues and are delaying it, then the green giant sets that we saw at tfcon at ages 3 and up.......they are flawed?
