Man, I really respect posts like this. Makes me want to become a first time customer with you.
I think everyone is just so eager to get something because of all the "WTF???" this hobby has had lately. Played Predator yet? Nope. Big Lebowski? Nope. Alien? Nope. RAZA? Nope. All smoke screens/didn't happen/something blew up in someone's face and it all went to hell situations.
AP shows up, and we were all skeptical. It seemed too good to be true to have a new manufacturer show up nearly out of thin air promising a game like this, but it happened, and I think we're over the gunshy "man...I don't want to get screwed..." vibe. Now people see that this game is really happening, and everyone's crazy excited to finally have something new in the community that isn't a remake (not saying those are bad, I am happy to see them, but Houdini is an original theme vs a 20 year old theme now making the rounds).
Now the problem is supply is silly low, and that will change with time. But you know how this community is: we have to have it yesterday.
No, we don't. Patience is key. You know how many times I've even got to play a Houdini? One - next week at TPF 2018 - have not touched a single one since it started making the rounds last year.
And I can tell it is worth the wait. Looking forward to finally seeing one face-to-translite next week.
