Quoted from vid1900:That is why Stern always says: DO NOT PREORDER GAMES
If your distributor goes out of business between now and the Fall, you will loose all the money. Nobody, not even Stern, will be able to get it back for you.
But, but I have to be the first on the block with the latest and greatest
Quoted from jeffsgames:So how often do Distributors go under? Is this a rampant problem? The one I picked was recommended by almost everyone I talked to, and widely recommended on here. Been a distro longer than I even know. Is this such a big problem that Stern has to warn buyers to not preorder? I don't get it.
You'll be fine if you went with one of the larger distro's. It's rare that what Vid was saying would happen, but it can.

I think Stern tells people not to preorder because not only what Vid said but that there are things that can cause delays that are out of Sterns control.
I paid in full, with a large distributor, from the beginning. I've had my machine for over a month and people who just put down deposit, well before I did, are still waiting.
Quoted from seenev:I've played it. It was fun but it didn't make me want to own it.
I'm leaving away from Stern. With the price and waiting with Stern these days, might be worthwhile to get a JJP.
JJP wait is much longer and have had many more issues than any stern to date
Quoted from seenev:I didn't necessarily mean a new JJP.
Gotcha, I'll probably never buy a NIB again from any company. Not because of delays, the value just isn't there
Quoted from extraballingtmc:My distributor just got a new got pro from stern so they must be making a few.
GBLEs are shipping again with Aug build dates.
Quoted from venom112:Is it me or is can crusher just a total waste of resources.i mean it is a redo of Nellie. To me stern takes on these projects that aren't all that profitable or in demand and meanwhile they are months behind in their production schedule pissing of their customers who have been Quoted a time to get their pins like ghostbusters and then not being able to meet demands. With all the QC issues on top of it stern appears to be biting off more than it can chew.
I guarantee this is one where Pabst came to Stern, and Stern has already gotten paid by Pabst marketing, it's a no lose for Stern no matter how many sell
