Quoted from epthegeek:

This unnecessary paranoia. As a game distributor Jack's always been awesome. Producing his own games may be a bumpier road, but that's a different thing entirely.

For what it's worth, I think Jack is doing himself a disservice with the way he's handling MMR. I ordered MMR from PPS and JJP within the first half-hour of the announcement. My intent wasn't to flip one, but I was nervous about the confusion around the ordering process at the time like a lot of people. Within the first few days, I decided to go with Jack. I was pretty new to the hobby and thought it would be better to buy from a well established distributor. I would hesitate though to buy another NIB game from JJP based on how they are handling MMR orders. I didn't like having to rush to get them a deposit check to reserve my place in line after thinking my original cc deposit was accepted. It had to be a cashiers check or your place wouldn't be reserved until a regular check cleared. Then you have to rush again to send in the balance to get a good place in line, and the balance is due before scheduling of shipment. None of this is a big deal for me, but it's enough that I'll likely go with Rick for the next remake and stick with Game Exchange for Sterns. Seems like Jack would be better off putting more emphasis on developing repeat customers than maximizing profit / cash float on each order. He's a very successful businessman and certainly has given thought to all of this, but it's the little things that can make a big difference in an increasingly competitive market.

I have an MMR and AMH on order - my first two pre-orders. I use to get exited when I saw a bunch of activity on the two treads thinking it meant the games were getting closer to showing up on my driveway. The AMH thread has turned into what is the next Spooky Pin brainstorming session ( which is great but do it in a new thread) and this has turned into coin mech world.

I think Rick is under estimating the potential loss of customer goodwill and the compound effect of multiple changes to the original perception that an LE would be special with double clear coat and real brass trim. This is probably feeding the emotions on the coin mech. Personally, I appreciate the added LEDs and color DMD, and Rick's gesture in offering discounted mechs, but give no value to the ply wood, painted bottom. Going on about the coin mechs seems like wasted energy versus the fun and excitement of getting this pin. But I will think harder about jumping on the next LE remake for top $.

None of the distributors should have collected full payment unless production was good to go and they had a confirmed production schedule with Stern. I did not sign up for a pre-order but payment within 2 weeks of shipment as committed by PPS.
