And you’ll likely get if first. Who knows how long before they’re shipping CE’s? Another reason why CE’s will pop up down the track.

Quoted from oropuro:seems like they should at least say CE are limited to orders by people and distributors in the first 24hrs, then announce the CE number then, say they sell 826 units the first 24hours, then 826 is the Limited number.
That’s what Jack tried with Dialed In. I think they got less than 100 orders or something so they rounded it up to 150 anyway.
So many problems with this launch that are easy to resolve in hindsight. At the end of the day JJP did f*ck up, but it’s easy to see why they f*cked up. They are human, and as long as they learn next time, they’re not fools.
Just for the record, I can tell you for a fact not all direct website orders are being honored. In our case they took the order and issued a confirmation and then referred them all to the Australian distributor. So on top of the distributors own list, he now has to deal with the direct orders.
The biggest lesson to be learnt here: don’t make the top end super limited version too different than the next model down. Just make it limited with some minor cosmetic changes and a couple of relevant signatures.
That’s definitely one Stern have mastered. Elvira: Piece of couch +$5000. B66SLE: Foil artwork $5000. Beatles Platinum: literally just the colour +$10000.
Quoted from JY64:Elvira run of 50 bat66sle run of 80 JJP CE run of 500
JJP GNR CE $3000-$7000 cheaper.
Quoted from Boof-Ed:If true it shows how much JJP cares about the Aussie buyers.
If no allocations were given out yet though why would JJP be referring to to Aussie distributor?
More questions.
You would hope they add these direct Aussie sales to the distributors existing allocation. That's what a normal business in a normal situation would do. But nothing is normal about this situation. To me it just sounded like JJP were glad to cull another bunch of direct orders since they were so oversubscribed.
The Australian situation is farcical. Really feel for the distributor down here. JJP f*cked up royally- here’s hoping they realise and correct the situation.
Quoted from EricHadley:In on a LE!
U sure? Just a heads up.......your Elvira topper is shipping...... u sure u can afford a JJP LE now?
Just jk. This game is too good pass up in any any version.
