Didn't Jack say one distributor had ordered 125? I was speculating it was automated.

Quoted from underlord:Yes, a distributor did buy 125. But as we all know, they aren't truly 'sold' until collectors and ops buy them from the dist's.
I remember all too well Sterns crap about 'sold out' pins, only to find out the dists were squatting on them forever.
I know. My main point was that JJP had at least sold 125, and on his books they count as sales. Whether or not whomever bought them gets them sold, I don't know. Personally, I hope it's Automated, and they get stuck holding the bag on tons of them.
With Stern's, as long as the distributors buy them all, Stern considers them sold out. The distributors buy up all the games, and Stern gets paid. Then, as you said, they squat on them and attempt to sell them later at huge markups.
