I'm with ya Ice. About time pinball makers shoulder the burden of producing a product THEN selling it. Humans been doin' it this way for thousands of years.

NO MORE CHEATING! FIND OTHER SOURCES OF INCOME TO PRODUCE.

Hi, I'm Rick, and I'm a previous preorderer.

No. It's different now. If just one preorder screwed up its one thing. But between the huge egos of these companies sometimes, the consistent money due timelines and the ' we'll let you know when something happens' mentality returned to us, even us hardcore supporters of new companies are burnt out and feeling a bit unappreciated.

When a hobby starts to feel like a poor corporate investment strategy, who's to blame?

I'm out of excuses for everyone, taking my money and keeping it in the bank.

Once PRED shows up, that's it. And only cuz I've already sunk the money into it.

Same amount of STLE as any other title. TWDLE isn't flooding the market with stock. I've seen an average # of NIB and HUO so far, but within the next 6 months as stock either dries up or stagnates, will dictate title success.

No idea what you're seeing, but way too soon to call foul on recent titles, except Mustang, as that DOES seem to have been sitting in distro stock, not moving.

Charlie, this growing pain you're going through has forced you to adapt, improvise and overcome, which will help your business achieve greatness as long as other factors work out...(timing, market conditions).

You and Stern along with Heighway (since they seem to have a running factory), are doing it right.
Shoulder the risks and hope for greatness. Your alright in my book Chuck! ;D
