Stern can add me to their list of dissatisfied customers. After years of being in this hobby I made the big decision to finally purchase a NIB game from Stern. The distributor I purchased from informed me that I would need to purchase before the end of the month before the price increase from Stern so I made it a point to get my payment sent in beforehand. Today I was informed that Stern contacted him and said they wouldn't be able to ship it out until after May 1st, even though I paid before the increase. If I wanted the game I would need to come up with another $350. I would like to keep the distributor anonymous, because he tried bending over backwards to help and even offered to cover some of the increase.
Just because Stern can't ship it out doesn't mean we should be responsible. Looks like it's back to buying another Williams game.
