Yes, they do have to address this issue with pushing the release dates back. I became so frustrated with AA/DST that I stopped waiting for the E-E long before it began shipping due to it being what felt like an entire year to wait from so many delays! I thought my faith would be restored with the E-D, but by the looks of it, I will not be picking up one of these ships either! Say what you will about Playmates, but at least they deliver when they say they will!
