Do you know if the JGP carts are in Shawn's possession or have shipped at all?
Seriously? I know your question is maliciously rhetorical and intended to incite confusion and mistrust towards me, but I’ll answer anyways… Why would JGP AES be in the preorder phase with a mid to late July ship date if these were physically in stock at the NeoStore? No, JPG AES is not in stock. Furthermore, the NeoStore doesn't physically have any DavidG stock on hand (the chamane refund campaign stock sold out some time ago). I wouldn’t expect JGP AES to physically remain on hand more than a single day (time required for shipping), considering that all 20 pieces should sell out prior to release. Technically only 3/20 remain unsold, but 2 preordered copies involve a precarious situation, and so they remain up for grabs until this situation is resolved.
The timing of this future JGP release and DavidG's exposure is rather malodorous (on teh forums that is, no actual preorder customers have canceled as of yet), but I’ll see how things unfold in regards to what we have suspected to be !A! 2.0. Maybe ngf will exonerate TonK for all of his selfless community service in this witch hunt. Ironic that I was pushing for TonK to be unbanned even after his legendary deception with AF3/PS2 failed, considering that he vocally wishes nothing but ill will towards me, but that’s to be expected of the court jester.
People have been asking what DavidG has been telling me about AF3: DavidG and I don’t talk on the phone (not since that lone/single/sole call we had yesteryear where I had posted a public transcript by memory on the forums) and we've since kept our email correspondences strictly professional and on topic (predominantly regarding the design of JPG’s insert and manual, which as of recently, will be incorporating silver foil stamping and printed numbering for all parts instead of holo stickers). I don’t ask about AF3/PS2 because I don’t have any questions about it. He hasn't brought it up because he should already know what I’ve been thinking and publicly stating all along, that’s its unofficial and should have been marketed and priced as such to begin with.
Shawn got started off the back of NGF stock if I recall correctly (leading to the infamous "black book" postings of back in the day).
You’ve been around long enough to know the truth (join date of 2001) as I’ve clarified this for what seems like annually for over a decade, but I understand the strong desire to share TonK’s animosity and camaraderie (you’re using TonK’s former avatar after all). I purchased stock for resale from ngf (chris & dion) a grand total of once and this was before the NeoStore even existed. This was back in the 1990s when I had a single webpage called NeoJuzam’s cart sale page, or something along that name, a page that existed well before this lone/single/sole purchase of stock from ngf. The purchase included around 81 home carts, they were all freaked with ngf stickers & stamps on the insert, manual, and cartridge. I dumped them fast by pricing them to move and they were sold out within a month. I’ve had zero dealing with ngf (chris & dion) since then.
