Quoted from turbo2nr:My Rush Premium shipped yesterday (April 26th) from Stern directly to me.
So, whoever stated that Stern doesn't drop-ship is incorrect.
I have a Godzilla Premium shipping also for my brother. Another "Drop ship"
I already have a Godzilla Premium, but One of my bros wants One too.

Quoted from JakePG:when i ordered stranger things from coiontaker, it was shipped to me from chicago. Automated also ships some of their games from chicago. I don't think it's a secret
So GZ was my first NIB. An LE and had called a couple of places before going local. Kinda sucked getting taxes, but also was interesting that the dealer said they had to buy that LE from another dealer, so I got charged shipping twice (250x2) b/c of that. When I went to go pick it up from their location, had a nice big sticker, or airbill, that had IL (Stern) to the location I picked it up from. sooooo, very suspect. It sucked that all combined it was almost 4k over MSRP (2k extra from dealer, b/c again they had to buy it from another place....and 2k in shipping and taxes). Only consolation was that if I decide to get rid of it, shouldnt be in the negative unless things crash hard in this pin market. But still, after that double shipping and shipping+tax on another MSRP NIB I placed an order at the same time, not buying local anymore. Love to support businesses in the area, but theres a limit. I'll just put money into their arcade to do that.
