Quoted from PACMAN:I'm probably going to have to get the Premium now. My "distributor" dropped the ball on my LE order. I told him last week and then reminded him the day it was announced. Wasn't the best price but not the worst either. $8400 shipped. I texted him a couple times the last couple days asking how he wanted me to pay for the deposit. He finally gets back to me today and says mailing him a check will be fine but that he needs to email Stern first to make sure he can get another one. My response - WTF??!!!! You didn't order it???!! Long story short, LEs are gone and this person is no longer my distributor. I've bought 3 games before from this guy, hung out together, etc. for years.
I'd have been pretty heated. Barring a family emergency sounds like dude really dropped the ball on this one. Hate it for ya, but looking at his GBLE price makes me think he did you a favor in the longterm. Check out JJ at Game Exchange or one of the many other reliable and competitively priced distros out there for future purchases. Still might be an LE out there somewhere at $8400. Best of luck regardless.
