I got cut, I was double confirmed on the day stern sold out. Supposed to be sending more LE's overseas to build that market was the story I got.

Quoted from loren3233:

Who was your distributor?

Fun in Dallas

Quoted from Pinball-is-great:

Buying a NIB pin through Fun is not necessarily the same buying experience as buying a "restored" used pin from certain employee(s) at Fun. I'm confident there has been successful purchases of NIB pins from Fun where both the buyer and seller were satisfied imho.
PinballPark did not just get into this hobby last week.

What he said... I don't think I got bumped because of something Fun did, he double confirmed my order last week and I have sold him many games over the years, always smooth. I think there is enough evidence here that Stern is to blame. People bash stern all the time over prices blah blah, buy or don't buy, but you can't confirm an order and yank it to sell to someone else, that is total crap and I will be sure to tell Gary what I think of this next time I see him.

Super exclusive ad from the Pinside Marketplace!

Yep, life goes on, I will get a "dirty donny" premium that they are talking about in the other thread, my guess it it will look better anyway. It's just a stupid pinball machine!!!!

I have been out of the loop on comments, busy....playing pinball....I do that sometimes...
I do not blame my dist, it seems that he is not lying to my to flip the game as some have implied. He had a confirmed order with Stern and Stern apparently decided for whatever reason to screw over their distribution network. I have been a big fan of Stern but this BS is not forgivable, no, I won't sue, it's just a stupid pinball machine, but Stern has been around long enough to know how to F_ING count how many games they will make vs. what they sold on pre-orders. They did something good, picked a good theme with a good design and used actual art, people liked it, then they go F_CK people over. It's not that hard to run a company better than this, I mean, what a bunch of idiots. If they just ran out of stock and filled the orders that they CONFIRMED, some would be sad they did not get in but at least they would have not broken a commitment. I run a company and I have never broken a commitment to a customer, sometimes that will cost me money but when all is done I have a HAPPY customer that will tell people good things about my company.

Do I still want a Metallica, yes, I will get what ever better art version they have coming out. After this I have to say I will no longer give a crap about what stern is putting out, give a crap about the stupid LE concept and will never be a NIB customer again.

Rant over oh, and F_CK Stern, I can't wait until I see that MF at a show again...

OK, the new premium has been released, it looks better than MOP so the world has order again and all the attorneys can get back to billing clients $250 per hour
