as a bystander, does anyone know what the business logic was/is that most (if not all) of the LEs were not produced before the standards? I would think that since these people paid money for a "spot" in line, that they would be serviced first (much like the 'take a number' at the deli counter)
I've heard whispers of money issues, but given that all of you LE have paid for the full machine up front it seems like a really poor business practice that 3 years later you still do not have the product that you've paid for.
someone with some clout in the media business should run this up the ladder and get jack to explain publicly what's going on and just how much longer you guys (and gals) will have to wait. just my 2 cents

I had read there was an issue with getting the direct print cabinets for the LEs.
Since the standard WOZ cabinet uses decals, those cabinets were ready to go. So when the direct print cabinets ran out and while JJP was waiting for more LE cabinets, they built standard games in the meantime.
That's my understanding from what I've read. Not sure if there is *any* truth to it.
Yes, thats my understanding on the standards being built. He can build games faster than he can get direct print cabinets. A truckload does not last too long.
I was officially out of the club on Feb 21st. I believe my distributor ordered in May, 2011.
Couldn't be happier!! It was well worth the wait. Kind of glad now that I got a later build as I've not really had any issues (1 leaf was bent).

Have you heard any progress updates lately?

that's sounds understandable except for the fact that in 36 months time he hasn't been able to source 700 cabinets with direct printing to fulfill the obligations of those of pre-paid?
it sounds like there are still quite a few people waiting on their LEs, even without know just how many people are still waiting, that means that in over 750 business days jack can't even put out 1 LE a day.

No. But its following the same pattern as the last time things slowed. He was pumping them out once the new load of cabinets came in.
Zippy - Sorry things went south for you. In my short dialogue with you a while back, I found out that you're a great guy and you deserved better than what happened. I hope you get one somewhere down the road for a much cheaper price - that would be justice for you, I think. If it was me, though, I'd wonder when I actually would have gotten my machine if I hadn't cancelled. That kind of stuff drives me nuts...

Yeah, I'm kinda OCD that way too. It was #871 so I'll keep my eye out for it in the future.

Has Abso received his?
Quoted from DCFAN:Time to resurrect this biatch!!!
Still f$#%ing waiting.

This is all too bad. Between this and Stern's code taking forever and the crap/good ratio of their games, I just don't think I'll ever buy NIB again. I want to be supportive too, but I have better ways to vest money and wait with less frustration, not to mention how much safer it is to grab a HUO later after it's a proven machine.
I hope JJP figures this crap out for TH. I really want them to do well, but these lingering people are really hurting their imagine IMO.
