Quoted from Frax:

I get it...I'm just not going to tolerate it. If I walk into a car dealership with 9k and tell them I'm looking to spend 9k...they're not going to tell me to come back tomorrow, and the next day, and the next. They MIGHT tell me to screw off (literally had a sales guy laugh in my face in November when I told them I was looking for a 22 Civic Sport and had 15k in hand for down payment!), or they might show me some cars, but they're not going to leave me alone. They'll send emails for months and months afterwards asking if I'm still interested in a car ETC.
There's got to be some level of personal accountability is what I'm saying. If I can't even get through the *sale* without having to be a rabid dog chasing them.....what kind of support should I expect from a distro like that when there's a dead node board the first month, or whatever? The whole thing just kills all the mojo around getting a NIB game for me. I'd rather not have it than feel like I gave someone that much money that didn't do a single damn thing to earn it other than type out some forms and pass tax back to the government. I've passed on things I wanted plenty of times...this isn't new to me. I'm not a FOMO guy very much, so these "sit back and wait for it to happen" kind of things don't really work with me.
I buy NIB for two reasons:
Less BS than dealing with private sales.
After-purchase support if something happens with the game.
That's it. If either one of those things isn't in the equation...the math simply doesn't add up. I had stellar experiences with GEX previously with Metallica and AC/DC. Zero complaints. But now? They didn't even bother responding when I filled out their info request form. Sure, maybe it got lost in their email, accidentally deleted....whatever. That's not my fault, or my problem. If I had time to play phone tag with people all day, then I would've started there. Service across the board has gone to shit if you ask me. It's not really limited to this distro or that distro...it's all of them, just a question of degree.
At any rate, I've made my point and had my little crybaby rant. I'll pull up my pants now and move on with life.

Quoted from LeMansFan:

You're not using a certain distributor in Benicia, are you? I've been told by that one my GZ premium will be much later than originally thought.

Quoted from tedwasright:

I did. There's nothing outside the playfield showing anything. Maybe I'm looking at the wrong thing. Ahhhhhhh the STORIES. I see it now.
Nice to see it won't be much longer.
Thanks for the clarity. More than just a pic. Short video too.

Quoted from Pinball-Wiz:

So what happened to the Godzilla March/April production? If this is the case, I'm pissed!

Quoted from PinMonk:

Not fully.
They ran out of parts on the GZ just last week and are finishing it up (now that they have the parts?) after AIQ gets off the line shortly.

Quoted from pinballjah:

Hey dealers, come take my money! I will gladly pay you a mark up on a Godzilla Premium. PM if available. Discretion assured. Thanks.

Quoted from Heatmiser:

I'm excited for you... When did you reserve yours?
