Quoted from Guinnesstime:

There's obvious fear that buyers will back out when they realize the long wait for their machines.
Right now buyers are guessing. Once they're told a date, they can evaluate the decision. Also, JJP will be held to the delivery dates.
I haven't heard anyone backing out right now, but if you're told "by mid-May 2021" do you have the same excitement?
So it's not really a PR bungle. They're probably weighing if they'll lose more buyers by saying something vs. not saying something.

Knowledge is power. The knowledge of what's going on here, or simply put, knowledge of the actual timeline is the thing standing between probably a great deal of potential buyers and the notion of cancelling their orders to ride this out and as others have mentioned, perhaps just wait for second hand market. there is zero chance I wait around till mid-May for this. Doesn't mean I wouldn't eventually buy one but to be locked in with a deposit for that long? no way.

If my game is months off then I'd like to know so that I can use the money on hand to fill the empty spot for awhile. Maybe grab a title I've not had before or look for a couple of project games to keep me busy. Right now its just money in the back and empty space in the game room.

So...anyone hear anything??? Its a fresh week! What are the odds we hear anything this week??

I didn't order direct with JJP.

Right now I'm not banking on it being anytime soon on my CE and am subsequently filling its spot in the meantime

Doesn’t matter

Quoted from Shredso:

It's not funny, it's a reality. JJP games don't hold up well on the 2nd hand market.

jjPotC at 50% over retail used all day long says "hi!"

To be fair, it's the ONLY JJP like that so far, and mostly due to artifically constrained supply, but JJP machines generally hold at least as well as Sterns, so I don't understand the hyperactivity about timing because the price cliff is coming. Except for Hobbit. That one does not do well on the secondary market, and having had one, I understand why.

Just got a call that my SE is ready

Quoted from Shredso:

It's not funny, it's a reality. JJP games don't hold up well on the 2nd hand market. If I can't get it in another month the new game excitement will have worn off. I'll wait 3 months, or 6 months and save $1-2k on a HUO.

Clearly thats true for all titles with the exception of POTC, which has increased by thousands .... although your not getting a nice HUO LE for $2K off retail.
