Bobblehead Alert: Due an unpredictable situation this summer in China our TEAMmate Sales Staff is recommending teams to allow more time for bobblehead orders this fall. With the pending Olympics some factories are being temporarily closed by the government or put on "minimum levels" which could disrupt timelines. There are also some concerns about minor disruptions in shipping due to heightened security at water ports and time added in customs. Get more information on bobbleheads, including quotes and timelines on our CORE Bobblehead page.
