I hope there were a lot of female purchasers anyway thanks for explaining some if not all the problems faced. It is a tough task. Maybe regular bulletins of problems faced might have been useful. I don't know if explaining things like this in the pinball industry is bad for business????
Delays happen. Normally you build or manufacture something that has a few dozen maybe even a few hundred parts. Not a game with thousands. That just compounds the issue :). Multiple suppliers. Each part needed for the next mech to be built. One slows down, holds everything else up. Now that everything is in place, proper suppliers for each part, smooth sailing on that front from here on out.
So why were we lied to about delivery dates and why are some buyers getting there games before people who ordered first?
