Quoted from Concretehardt:

I know GEX got their original allotment cut in half. Kye said nothing to me about not
being able to fill their preorders, also they are still battling with stern to get the machines
originally promised to them.

Quoted from TigerLaw:

After the two and half hours I spent on the phone with various distributors yesterday chasing down leads (and even more time texting last night) I can personally assure you that is exactly what is happening...not with every distributor but certainly with some of them. I'm not going to call any distributor out by name because this hobby is so small and I may need them later for something but there was more than one that had some shady crap going on to jack the price up way over the MSRP before the game is even released to them.
I don't know if what they were doing was a violation of Stern's policies (Stern may not care) but it certainly should be.

Quoted from DCfoodfreak:

I hoe you never have a reason to be Butt Hurt.

Quoted from TomGWI:

Could explain why the distributor I ordered with is not responding.

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. I am not sure I buy that yet at this point. I guess if GEX orders don't get cut, it will tell more of the story. I just hope to get my money back at this point, and also asked for a refund of my Star Trek LE deposit I had with him.
I see two possibilities:
1) Stern did cut the order allotment.
2) Other favored customers trumped my order.
I am waiting to see how it all works out with the other distributors.

Quoted from DrJoe:

Gary Stern has said numerous times that if they call something "Limited Edition" they will not re-run it or run additional units. This is why some games, including this one, will be run as "premiums" with the same gameplay as the LE, just different art.
Stern hasn't waivered on this philosophy and I doubt they will now. Surely they would have done it with TRON LE if they were going to go against their own word.

Quoted from dapperdan24:

I had my order with JJ at GEX confirmed mid day on the 11th. We have been back and forth on emails as he is on a boat in the middle of the ocean somewhere (where he should be relaxing instead of responding to my silly emails!) It took until today to firm up the deposit which I subsequently put in with Rich by phone. I was also told by JJ that every order behind mine was getting wait listed, which would make mine one of the last they took. I have not been told that their allotment of LE's has been cut. To the contrary, I put my deposit in after 10am (pacific) which would be noon in CO and at Stern headquarters. I assume that a letter sent out that morning would have been in GEX's hands by the time they took my CC info. The card has already been charged FYI. Not sure if this helps the point along at all, but there it is

Quoted from Jvspin:

When did Borg become such a "sure thing" as a designer? Some of his later Stern games:
Indiana Jones 2008
NBA 2009
Big Buck Hunter 2010
Iron Man 2010
Avatar 2010
Tron 2011
XMen 2012

Quoted from mnpinball:

With all the excitement for Metallica and Star Trek how is the game coming next between the 2 even going to have a chance ?
