Coming on the heels of the Alien Anthology (2016) and Alien Movie (2017) card sets, I have been waiting for the release of Upper Deck's collector card set honoring the movie Alien 3 with great anticipation. However, I have been disappointed about the continual delay of this product's release. I pre-ordered a number of hobby boxes starting in early 2019 and it is now a year later. The deadline for release slipped several times during the last year, most recently from late January 2020 to April 2020.
I am beginning to wonder if this product will ever be released. Is this kind of thing typical in the industry? Does it reflect poor pre-sale numbers? My uninformed guess is that Upper Deck is having some major problems (i.e.,. contractual issues with signing talent or artists?) but that is just speculation.
Any thoughts on this? Has anyone else been frustrated by the ongoing delays?
