Really not sure what is going on with their Bantha. They just had an update on the wave of 13. Essentially boils down to factory problems delaying stuff and whomever receives the product in the USA having "storage issues" and therefore items are being held at the plant in China. They are shipping Thrawn and ST Han from the wave of 13. However, that is really old news since I received those two probably two months ago now.
My personal opinion is that SLC is just overwhelmed and doesn't know how to run things. While Stan Solo is based in the UK, he does have the his US partner. Anything I have ordered from the USA sites has shipped extremely quickly. I just ordered the last few items that he had that I hadn't picked up yet. Placed the order around lunchtime on Friday and received it on the following Monday. Less than 24 hours between receiving the order and putting it in the mail. With SLC, I will probably not see the rest of the order in the next year. He supposedly has ESB and ROTJ waves planned out already. I would hope he waits until everything is complete for the ANH wave before listing others.
