Few thousand people have sizeable deposits down on this game. Asking for an update after a few months of radio silence and missing a deadline is not a ridiculous request. Just My Opinion..

Quoted from beltking:Podcast saying few weeks on standards and next month in le. Ballpark
If that's true, I don't see why CGC wouldn't give an update.

Quoted from beltking:Podcast saying few weeks on standards and next month in le. Ballpark
What podcast?
Quoted from explosiveegg:Isn't that part of the point of having distributors though. They act as a liaison between the manufacturer and the customer. They are the intermediary.
Don't get me wrong, they shouldn't provide specifics, but they should inform the customers if a delay has occurred.
One would think, but clearly CGC either has told the distribution network to stay quiet or hasn't informed them of them of the problem.
Quoted from ClassicHornet:Are we still able to cancel LE orders ? Or has that ship sailed ?
Reach out to your distributor. I doubt they would mind as they probably have a list of people who want the LE. I think they'll just upgrade an SE+ order.
Quoted from ClassicHornet:Are we still able to cancel LE orders ? Or has that ship sailed ?
Why are you thinking of canceling?
Quoted from ClassicHornet:Are we still able to cancel LE orders ? Or has that ship sailed ?
My guess is cancelling an LE order is pretty easy! Cancelling an SE + is probably an entirely different deal.
Quoted from Only_Pinball:Why are you thinking of canceling?
No, i was just wondering if there was a time limit on that offer for ppl to cancel. I imagine there might be a few ppl that just cant wait for the LE and therefor might want to change their order ???
Quoted from beltking:Flipnout podcast today. Ballpark

Thanks for sharing!
So how did they get this info to
Announce on a podcast but nothing from the source
No upset and excited to hopefully seeing games rolling out
Wonder what the hang up is / was

Got ya. I was going to suggest holding on if you were on the fence!

He is a big distributor, so I assume he has a connection.
Zach is Great but you would think CGC should give weekly or Biweekly updates. Not everyone listens to pinball talk shows. Large company like CGC should do better. I demand accountability!

Haha, it does sound positive! Who knows maybe I’ll be playing some CCr next week!!??
Just listened to the podcast, seems the wait will be over very soon; SE’s this month & LE’s Feb then SE+

Let's hope this is the case! Can't wait

"When do I get my toy? I wanna know NOW!"
"I'm going to cancel my toy if they won't tell me"
"Look how much I paid for my toy. I deserve an answer!"
All from the kids who haven't bothered to actually, you know, email the company...

Are you one of the individuals who are patiently awaiting their game? Do you have a deposit down on a CCR? People were only asking for a simple update since the previous timetable they have gave has came and gone. This is not too much to ask. Communication is very important. There is no excuse for not informing your customers of delays.

I have an LE on order, and I have great news for you. I have AN UPDATE:
You will get your game when it's made. CGC always does this. It's happened with every game. I am not lying. Posting here over and over and over and over and over and over and ... I think you get the point -- won't change anything. You and all the others want an update. You're not getting one. The great news is that there is a guy offering crossword puzzles to any CGC customer for FREE.
Quoted from ClassicHornet:Are we still able to cancel LE orders ? Or has that ship sailed ?
You can always cancel, but some distributors have a transfer fee. Some say that deposits are not refundable but that’s hard to enforce and not likely to be an issue since it should be pretty easy to get someone to take an LE slot.
Quoted from Vino:Cactus Canyon updates come Western Union.

Except in the Cactus Canyon universe Western Union doesn’t exist yet …

Too cool for school, huh? Letting’ everyone know how chill you are, nice.
Anyway, one more data point; got a call from my distro earlier this month regarding a different new pin, had to pass on that one, but they mentioned that both my other orders should ship this month. I expected my LOV to ship, the other one on order is a CCr LE. I dismissed the comment as wishful thinking, but… maybe Feb? I still don’t think so, I’d place my bet on April/ May, wouldn’t be surprised at an even later date.
Quoted from RikV:Too cool for school, huh? Letting’ everyone know how chill you are, nice.
Not at all. I just keep thinking people might actually be talking about the game and it's the same old "Where are the updates" crowd. How many times do we have to go through it?
Quoted from Tranquilize:Not at all. I'm just keep thinking people might actually be talking about the game and it's the same old "Where are the updates" crowd. How many times do we have to go through it?
Once every two weeks until we get our games would be nice.
Quoted from Tranquilize:Not at all. I just keep thinking people might actually be talking about the game and it's the same old "Where are the updates" crowd. How many times do we have to go through it?
Okay, my bad. No worries. Just know that some folks might enjoy the anticipation and speculation. Of course when the games start to land there will be an entirely different discussion.
For me, this will be my first CGC and I’m excited, I hope this isn’t a crime.
Quoted from JoeHog:Hopefully they will get the ball rolling soon. Then the wait for the MMr++.
You will get another Classic/Special but chances are pretty low of getting a plus plus..
Quoted from jfh:Anyone have the direct quote from the podcast?
I listened to it a few hours ago. He said expected dates and then said he hasn't heard anything from CGC. So I don't know how much I trust them. But according to his prediction, SEs will start coming off the line in a week or two and LEs will start in February.

Look at me everybody I’m up on my high horse! Yeeeehaw!
Lock is lit but if you ask for an update some old timers will tell ya how the Wild West really works. Don’t ask questions just take it in the saddle partna!
Quoted from jfh:Anyone have the direct quote from the podcast?
A “handful” of SEs may trickle out “this week or next”. “Once those look and feel good, you’ll see a few more SEs.”
He expects LEs to ship next month with SE+ late March.

That's exactly what he said, unfortunately it makes no logical sense whatsoever. There is no way known that CGC can produce all 1250 LE's in that time frame.
Wasn’t it mentioned that an additional line was created using the pandemic downtime to expand
Maybe they will have multiple lines going to crank them out
Quoted from TheCnyPinGuy:Wasn’t it mentioned that an additional line was created using the pandemic downtime to expand

They'll need more than an additional line. Stern couldn't crank out 1250 games in that time frame!

Are the crosswords pinball themed?
Quoted from Pinballer73:There is no way known that CGC can produce all 1250 LE's in that time frame.
It would be a brash move indeed.
So quiet..
Secretly building into the wee hours..?
The plot thickens!

Ok we need an IP check! No way this guy is making posts this sarcastic after only 1 year on Pinside! 
On a serious note, if any games were actually going to ship in the next week or so im guessing someone in here would have received an invoice/request for payment in full by now.

Lol. I'll translate:
Look at me everybody I’m up on my high horse! Yeeeehaw!
Lock is lit but if you ask for an update seventy times after you've already been told how the company steers their wagon, some cowboy will tell ya how the Wild West really works. Ask questions, but accept the answers partna!

Who cares about an update just be HAPPY your getting the best quality pin on the market. Good things take time. 
From a business standpoint do you not think CGC would be shipping if they could ? They will have millions of $$$ tied up in materials that they need to re-coup so it is in their own best interest to ship as soon as they can.
Come on guys we are all adults not little kids - suck it up and be patient
