Quoted from metallik:

All I can do is shake my head in wonderment at the importance some people put on a stupid number. This thread perfectly exemplifies just how ridiculous LE games have become.
I gotta call this one for OP.. he ordered a game and FUN failed to deliver the right machine in a timely fashion, so OP cancelled his order. If "number 16" is important enough that OP specifically ordered and paid extra for it, it's important enough for the distributor to get that numbered game to him *on time*.

Quoted from Bud:

Am I missing something here? There are several people saying that Fun! could not deliver the pin he ordered. It seems to me that the specific pin he ordered was actually made available and the op "got cold feet" and declined exactly what he ordered, outright refused it, stating he would not accept shipment if they sent it out.
What if this particular title was a block buster? So popular and in demand that people were able to resell their LE for $10k or more? OP, would you have still backed out of the order? Did you find another Star Wars LE to buy and are you getting it? If not, are you still going to buy a Star Wars LE elsewhere when you get your refund?
It seems to me that this title had so much hype and anticipation, pin fever was wide spread and all LE allocations were spoken for. Once the pin was out for a minute the truth of this pin came out along with its issues and it was no longer the desired title everybody was so hot to get ahold of. So here was an opportunity to back out.
This is why full refunds are a problem on "limited" and "special" orders. If it were so easy to get a full refund, anybody could put money down or full payment ensuring them a purchase. If they decide they don't want it anymore for whatever reason, the business has had to deal with a lot of extra work for free in addition to overhead and cost that were not part of the current financial plan. Other "serious" customers might have missed out on an opportunity or the business might have lost a transaction to a regular customer because of unavailability. Then finally all the drama that is tied to the whole process comes out, reputations are trashed, lines are drawn and now pinball sucks atleast for awhile.

Quoted from ASOA:

Leave the OP alone!!!! He just wants his money as he was promised!!!!! At this point all the BS leading up to FUN saying I will send you a check for the X amount is irrelevant. Let's wait and see when or if this guy gets his check as promised.

Quoted from elcolonel:

You are absolutely fooling yourself if you think either of the Transformers, or the SWLE were the actual requested # that rolled off the line.

Quoted from TKDalumni:

Can you answer this...

Quoted from TKDalumni:

He's getting a refund. Now what?!

Quoted from Who-Dey:

He gets his refund, the OP is happy, and Fun still loses lots and lots of customers.

Quoted from tslayer71:

Why don't you take his challenge, or admit your a troll?

Quoted from TKDalumni:

Listen I have no dog in the fight (which none of you do either lol) and I want him to get his money (which he should), just don't buy his BS excuse.
I've ordered stuff from retrorefurb that wasn't up to snuff so I had to pay to ship it back and the refund took forever...did I come on here and start a thread about it..smh

Quoted from TKDalumni:

All distributors should beware of this guy as a buyer lol
Three year member, who has a brother with LE games, wants us to believe he thinks the number plate on an LE is the actual number Machine off the line...
I rest my case. Peace!
