We all want what we want right now, unfortunetly sometimes you just gotta wait. Patience did that die out with the 90s or more recently?

From what I gather at Stern there was no room for risk at all until very recently. Perhaps in the future they will be more adventurous but really it doesn't make a lot of business sense to develop a pinball on a hit or miss movie.
Quoted from o-din:>
Avengers- 1963
X-Men- 1963
Iron Man-1963
Star Trek- 1966
Night of the Living Dead-1968
POTC- 1967
Etc, etc, etc... I'm not sold...
Despite there previous incarnations they are extremely relevant today with kids through grandparents. Just saw civil war and plenty of families in there with little kids you could not ask for a wider audience.
Quoted from Trekkie1978:Didn't Stern say on the LE stream that LEs will go into production week of May 9th or something like that?
I don't expect to see my LE until June.
Not sure but everything I'm hearing is mid June now but who knows.....
Seems the delays are over GB LE is on the line and being pumped out perhaps there not at 100 percent but it certainly seems any major delays are over. Also it is suspicious that the LE was delayed right when the slimmer mech was redesigned perhaps they slowed everything down to wait for the fix and it didn't make sense to do a short 2 week run of something else because they had a firm plan of doing GB LE and didn't have the stock parts for a short run of another title.

Nice to hear a response I guess this schedule applies for NA to?
Quoted from seenev:I mean the variation in spelling/naming for the same games in different sections. Clearly no one proofread it and it just looks sloppy. Not the kind of thing you expect to see in communication from a multimillion dollar company.
Multi billion dollar companies have recalls all the time shit happens
Quoted from seenev:Has anyone ever cancelled an order with games exchange before? I sent an email earlier today and got an immediate response, but when I asked to cancel my order he stopped responding. My previous communications have all had quick, if brief replies. I sent a follow up email a while later and still received no response.
I've seen them recommended here before but has anyone cancelled and order with them? Is this normal?
Just curious did you pay in full or deposit, also I wouldn't worry with game exchange maybe support left early on friday.
Quoted from JEFFPINS12:My distributor asked for the full $8,000 for me LE last month and then I bank wired it , now he is claiming saying he never got it yet I did wire it ! Whah can I do ?!?! I even showed him my bank statement I am fureous
Probably should have posted this earlier pretty sure your passed the statue of limitations 
Seriously if that's not a joke you need legal action

Quoted from bryan942:I don't see any GoT's on that schedule ... I have had one in order since Feb...*sigh*
Febuary 
think you might need a new distro....
Quoted from JeffF:Hmmmm... we must have gotten lucky. Ordered our Met Pro June 13th and it was delivered less than a month later.
It's really odd how these things work. I don't get it at all...
The distro matters perhaps your distro ordered in March without waiting on future funds assuming someone would take it off his hand this time it was you while his distro did not place a order in till he received funds from customer in may.
