So, on the poll thread asking who bought one, there are currently 103 pinsiders who said they got in on one. In this thread there are three people who have said the distribs have cancelled their pre-order? Maybe one or two more; hard to sift through the posts. I think if more people were getting orders cancelled, there would be a lot more people speaking up, rather than the "rumor mill" running rampant about what Stern should do because of this "mess."

Quoted from Quantumleap:Landed a Metallica MMOP and stoked. Just found out that the distributors have been cut back a second time due to Gary wanting to send more machines to Europe. So now No MMOP even with a deposit.
Quoted from 85Txaggie:So I am not a new poster here.... I called and got a verbal confirmation with one of the large distributors who happened to be at Pinburgh (if that give you a clue). Sent the money on Thursday and received an email yesterday saying I wasn't getting a machine.
I called him and asked why. He said his allotment was cut from 30 to 10 LE's.
Out of this entire thread, these are the only two posters who claim the games have been taken away from them. One other person said they got in late in the day when the distributor thought he was getting more. Seem odd?

Quoted from levcrush:Thanks to jkdblaze, I managed to get in on an LE on MetClub. I was somewhat concerned that it might get cancelled due to the website frequently going from "in stock" to "out of stock" and then back to "in stock". After having my order cancelled already w my distributor, I decided to contact metclub. They confirmed that my LE is reserved. Hopefully it stays that way. Thanks again jkdblaze!
Wouldn't it be ironic if every person who got hosed because the games were taken away from distributors and sent to MetClub went to MetClub and bought a game?
Stern: "You can't have that game, Levcrush, because a MetClub member wants it."
MetClub: "Hi, Levcrush, welcome to MetClub! What?! You'd like to buy a pinball machine? It's your lucky day! We just got one more allotment from Stern."
Stern: "Glad we can make the MetClub members happy."
I just had a scary thought. What if MetClub has rights to sell as many as they can, and everytime someone buys one, Stern makes a call to a distrib and takes one away?
If Stern felt they needed to make cuts, wouldn't they do it all in one day? Why are some distribs just hearing today games are being cut?
JJ already replied to this thread on page 2. Whether things have changed for him or not since then, I don't know. I hope not. My order is with him. His post is below:
>>Guys who ordered from GEX orders are good! I'm trying to work on a confirmation email, but Being on the Cruise ship is making that more difficult than expected.. Plus my GF keeps distracting me!
I look forward to talking to you all when I get back, Thanks again for your orders and loyal support.
