release delays

Tomorrow is the day.

Really no problem with late releases, well I do, I sure would prefer to get the real juicy stuff when you're hyped about the playoffs etc, not 2 months *after* the playoffs, but anyway, late release, sure. What I'm saying is they should say that from the beginning, instead of putting an early date and then delay delay delay. Is that a way to get us to prepay boxes and be sure we buy them, and then we're stuck waiting and we've already paid? I don't know, seems strange that it's always repeated. And funny thing is Al Muir wrote an article in Beckett before he joined Panini really going down hard on the constant delays Upper Deck make.

I kind of smell a strategy with CR now, Panini has gotten a freebie since Spx and spgu has been pushed, they really rule the hockey market for the moment, and why not let collectors buy more of Limited in the meantime, which for the moment is the only higher end, they can afford waiting with CR since they got no competition during this time. I'm pretty sure they postpone the Elite brand in pure tactics too. That they're screwing with the buyers is probably not on their mind.
