Quoted from gumnut01:But I will say this : I think the release dates for these games are too close together. The life cycle is getting too short. And it’s hurting the support of their existing pins as well as their customer base being able to afford to buy these new pins.
From what I understand TMNT was delayed due to COVID related production issues. But AIQ had a firm release date regardless, because it had to line up with the new Xbox/PS4 game. AIQ was coming out now no matter what and TMNT should've been here in the Spring. Not much you can go about global pandemics.
TMNT also has fairly good demand. Stern was supposed to run EHOH again, but because of AIQ commitments and TMNT popularity, EHOH's next run got pushed back 1-2 months.
