Quoted from SuperDaveOsbourn:That is life. Did you pay in full with your pre-order? Nope, they don't take money up front. So, you have nothing but a hope and prayer. How'd that work out, not so good. With hobby businesses, and all pinball companies are hobby businesses, there is no routing business as a result of pinball that matters, you get what you get. When you went to a grocery story and they were out of milk you were pissed but the world didn't come to an end. Did you write a review about it? How about going to a car dealership and they were out, but you were on the waiting list. Did you slander folks or complain, nope. Those are real businesses. Pinball is not a business for 99.99% of the folks participating, its simply a wacky hobby.
Since their playfields are $600~$800 each and each run is 100 playfields or so. As long they have been in business and how many runs of different games they have made not counting smaller reruns? That's not even counting plastic sets and back glasses.
Even if they are not a punch the clock 8 to 5 every day storefront it is definitely not a hobby for them.
