Quoted from Ballypinball:First Container ships July 1st
How
Long does it take to arrive here once the container is shipped?
Pittsburgh, PA
Quoted from allsportdvd:How
Long does it take to arrive here once the container is shipped?
Can be up to and over 2 months. Depends on where the container goes.
Quoted from allsportdvd:How
Long does it take to arrive here once the container is shipped?
Usually six weeks.
Quoted from Pbpins:Anyone with an LE now, can you post a picture of the inside of the backbox as I’d like to see what it looks like in there to see how easy it might be to remove if need be?
There's even a video on how to do it by Butch if i recall, but certainly step by steps.
maybe search the key posts? 
Quoted from allsportdvd:How
Long does it take to arrive here once the container is shipped?
4-6 weeks

My AFMR LE shipped end of Oct and arrived Dec 18 in my games room (this was in 2017), so about ~7-8 weeks.
When will I get my ordered LE ??
Just joking .. it is annoying every second day: When will I .... Deliverdate ??? Blabla .....
So 2025. Got it
Can’t blame em. Need to sell as many SEs before the price drops like a rock on the LEs
Quoted from iceman44:So 2025. Got it
Can’t blame em. Need to sell as many SEs before the price drops like a rock on the LEs
Cancelled my PFLE ....figured I'd get one quicker and cheaper on the open market

Oh yes, I’m sure that’s the secret strategy. Eye roll
Quoted from PtownPin:Cancelled my PFLE ....figured I'd get one quicker and cheaper on the open market
How ?
That would mean that one of the first guys with LE is unsatisfied and/or bored from the game and sells it under marketprice ... makes no sense, at least not on a limited game.
Quoted from TomDK:How ?
Same as CCR... dealers had extra stock because the way CGC sends out games..
Many bought LE and SE while people that pre-ordered waited and are still waiting for their games.
Think he has a good shot!

Clearly this is your first rodeo with CGC. Fist off 1000 games isn't that limited, and secondly GCG will take forever to get all the games out (could literally be years). During that time many will cancel, and dozens will grow sick of the game and sell used so they can get the next shiny new object. Happens every time with NIB CGC games. Past loyal customers would get number matched games so they could be first in line, but they cancelled that policy with CCRLE's. As an example I put my deposit down in October 2021 ($1000), waited 2 years with ZERO communication from CGC, eventually cancelled got my money back and picked up a nice CCRLE with less than 100 games for $8K (with the mirrored back glass). Patience pays off at least in the US market.

Yeah, but it would have made way more sense to hold onto your preorder until after you actually see if one is available quicker and cheaper.
Kinda unnecessary to give up your spot as the first step toward your goal of getting the game faster and cheaper.

Nah ... not worth the aggravation that comes with dealing with CGC...this coming from an original MMRLE, AFRLE, MBRLE buyer....I'll pick one up sometime in the next couple years when the game sells for less on the open market + u get a game thats been dialed in, 100% working that one can inspect prior to buying.

Well, waiting to pick one up used in the next couple of years is not a whole lot different than what you've already been doing with CGC.
You are still waiting for the game either way. Definitely possible that the price will drop like CCr, but no guarantee. CCr was sold on a promise of enhanced code that still has not been delivered.

Its different because its on my terms versus playing the waiting game with CGC for years with ZERO communication. Theres probably zero chance any game these days will hold value although CGC games have always been priced well....time will tell

I guess it begs the question: if CGC experiences were that obvious and every “rodeo is the same,” why did you place a deposit on a Pulp LE in the first place?
I think your reasoning makes total sense… but why lock your money up and then pull it out?

Ha .... good question....I didn't have to put down a deposit on my PFLE to secure the spot....got it?

Wow. If that’s the case, keep the spot. What’s the harm?

I’ll happily take your spot . I’ll even buy you a case of beer.
So Game Room Guys are now telling people PFLE production is expected to start in September and finish in November. Interested to see if this proves accurate.

Right I heard Zach say that as well, my initial thought was November of what year? I think they're still making CCr LE's! That might be a slightly larger run than Pulp but still, who are they kidding?!
Quoted from 27dnast:Wow. If that’s the case, keep the spot. What’s the harm?
Because CGC was so egregious in their CCRLE deliveries my distributor allowed CCRLE buyers a pre order spot on PFLE, however it came with terms such as when your CCRLE was ready to ship u had to put down the deposit. Zero chance I will ever do that with CCG again.

But you said you never put money down on PFle even though you had also canceled your CCr preorder and picked it up later in the used market.

So if your distributor let you keep your PF preorder without having given them any money down, you should've kept your spot.
Quoted from PtownPin:..I didn't have to put down a deposit on my PFLE to secure the spot....got it?
Who cares how egregious the wait or communication might be. They weren't even holding any of your money!
It's not making sense.

Thats correct ....
So if your distributor let you keep your PF preorder without having given them any money down, you should've kept your spot.
Yes and No.....like I said earlier they gave PFLE spots to people who had deposits on CCRLE's for years. Once the CCRLE became available u had to put down another deposit for the PFLE. I choose not to do that .... so hopefully someone else got the spot
Well if u read what I said there were conditions. Once I cancelled my CCRLE I was required to put down a deposit on PFLE vs getting
Who cares how egregious the wait or communication might be. They weren't even holding any of your money!

Clearly your not reading my responses.....I have ZERO interest in ever preordering another game from CGC. I took back my CCRLE deposit, and picked up a nice used one. I'll do the same with PFLE

That means 1st Quarter ’25.

Add a year to that.

1000 machines in 3 month?
Quoted from master_of_chaos:1000 machines in 3 month?
That’s what I thought. No way that’s gonna happen.
Quoted from master_of_chaos:1000 machines in 3 month?
Output has to be around 10 to 12 machines per day.
Does anyone know what they have been able to achieve on prior production runs?

I truly hope that CGC turns it around, and figures out their manufacturing issues. I find it hard to believe they can go from 10-20 games a week to 75-100
Quoted from RTS:Output has to be around 10 to 12 machines per day.

It took, what, 2 years to make 1200 CCR LEs so that’s less than 2 per day. And that’s including weekends and holidays.
Quoted from jackd104:It took, what, 2 years to make 1200 CCR LEs so that’s less than 2 per day. And that’s including weekends and holidays.
Actually closer to 3 years

still not done , meanwhile a distro posted in CCR thread he has NIB LEs available!
Quoted from transprtr4u:still not done , meanwhile a distro posted in CCR thread he has NIB LEs available!
Not a surprise....happens on every CGC release and will happen with PFLE
Quoted from master_of_chaos:1000 machines in 3 month?
That's production of US machines, I've seen other dates mentioned for LE's going elsewhere..
Quoted from allsportdvd:I’m gathering there is no way that LE machines are coming to Australia in this July/August shipment
Production isn’t due to start in the USA until September
From what I've read and pieced together, the 1st container is PFSE's. With export (hopefully Australian) LE's due to go on the line in the next few weeks. If that's correct, the 1st load of LE's might arrive here in sometime in October.
Quoted from allsportdvd:How
Long does it take to arrive here once the container is shipped?
Quoted from Ballypinball:4-6 weeks
As long as the ship doesn't .........

You must be smoking some powerful stuff down under if u think theres a chance LE's will arrive in October 
Quoted from PtownPin:You must be smoking some powerful stuff down under if u think theres a chance LE's will arrive in October
Yeah, everything I heard was CGC is saying they're starting in September, with my decoder ring it came back as Q1, 2025. That's domestic.

What are the odds CGC will be finished will all the LE's by November?
I think they are closing in on 700 standards after 6 months of production (based on serial numbers of recently delivered games). They would have to ramp up production speed considerably to complete 1000 LE's within 3 months.

Honestly if that's true I'm impressed! Look at Dutch, I don't think they've done that many games in a fricken decade and those clowns think they're ready to juggle multiple titles! Controversial designers and gigantic licenses be damed!
