What Is The Longest Time You Had To Wait For A Pre-Order To Arrive?

Distribution of Star Wars action figures has been an ongoing topic for quite a while now. And the pandemic certainly didn’t make things easier. I pre-ordered Kit Fisto and a few other figures at a local etailer back in December 2019. Original release date was spring 2020. Spring came and I received a notification that Kit Fisto is not available and that the figure will be shipped a little later. Only to receive yet another notification that Kit Fisto is still not available when that time came… and then he got pushed back again… and again… and again… and again… fast forward to May 2021 and I had actually given up on ever getting Kit Fisto, not that he’s a particularly good figure to begin with, so I was not too upset, but lo and behold, the figure finally became available and so in early May 2021 I received a figure I had pre-ordered 17 months earlier.
