Quoted from epthegeek:

Yeah I guess. How crazy would that be. Distributors paying for things before selling them to other people. So 1990.
But they must have paid for the standards on their own, since they had them sitting in stock to sell ?

Quoted from cal50:

It matters little.
The point was some people that have been waiting for a game, cancelled, and got one thru a retail outlet / distributor. The people complaining about the wait publicly are individuals, I have never seen a distributor complain about the wait*
Markmon apparently got his game faster thru a different outlet, good for him.
* Minus the one that said the wait was a good thing and doing everyone a favor minus the small detail they got games which were promptly sold. Seems there is always an explanation ( state fair, changed order, etc.) but the fact remains some are still waiting while games appear for certain events or distributors.

Quoted from nhm:

I didn't hear a clear denial here...

Quoted from Shoot_Again:

All this lawyer talk looking for someone libel will make me want to leave this site forever.
Enough already. Keep it at the office I do not bring my job here to talk about please leave yours at home as well. This is a forum for pinball not to get clients for lawsuits. If anyone ever wins a lawsuit against someone for posting a comment on a message board I am done with the internet.
Seriously WTF you are all sue happy.
Get back to playing and talking pinball not LAW
Thanks SA
