Quoted from Skins:Why can't they supply the LE's? Are they not setup to do the digital art process and clear coating. That seems like a logical reason to me. It seems odd to state your LE cabs are delayed and in the same breath say you have a new standard supplier with out addressing why you don't switch the LE's supplier too.
Having more than one supplier means it's less likely you see supply chain issues. Say you have two suppliers and one gets caught in bad weather, you still have another supplier sending you cabinets. Next week, the one that's sending you cabinets could have a manufacturing machine break down with a week to get new parts. Now that first supplier is sending you LE cabinets, so you can start building them.
So LEs won't get made, but diversifying their suppliers means that they can still keep shipping machines even if they weren't the ones Jack planned on.
