Nope. I 100% still believe it is the comic and he is covering up his mistake with a T-Shirt fairy tale to give him time.
I am surprised you are won over so easily with a partial picture of a product when Benny did this with JNH, the GSL, and a warehouse of boxes, all of which never went out on time or at all. What happened to all that previous product? In Africa with all the loosing NFL Super Bowl team hats? Answer is it never existed...
The fact the comic is late to Diamond and to stores and Diamond can't give a reason to the stores why it is late, along with Zwag-Box delayed until the same time tells you what the issue is.
I ordered multiple copies of Marki #1 from my local store and they have called Diamond several times for me and each time Diamond has said they do not have them. Diamond told them it is an issue with the publisher and as each week goes bye without delivery, they are extending the arrival date.
People who say Benny is delaying the comic to coincide with Zwag-Box are wrong. Benny refused to answer why it wasn't out when asked, Benny previously has said the comics go directly from printer to Diamond distribution and it isn't at Diamond yet. Diamond has said they don't have it when asked. So, are they all at Benny's house sitting in the garage waiting for him to drop them off in the mini-van to Diamond? It makes no logistical sense at all.
Also, what Benny has said about the t-shirts makes zero sense. You CAN have shirts printed in bulk, yes, thousands within 24-48 hours and delivered overnight if needed, even high quality ones. I have had it done for a company party before for my old company at the last minute. It does not take 3 weeks!!!
In the end it doesn't matter as Zwag-Box WILL ship within the next 10 days or the product line is dead. Customers will not give Benny another delay. I will cancel my box if it doesn't ship in the time he has promised this go around.
I just wish people would stop defending Benny over and over again when he has not given us anything even close to a success over the years. He has lied to investors and customers over and over again. The only thing is Powfolio and that was a success because another company did it all A-Z, not Benny or REDG.
