Yeah, I ordered for a couple of people that missed the window and fronted the money myself as a gesture of trust for my fellow sega lovers. Nobody let me down and will pay is long as this goes through. At this point, the money has been out of my pocket so long, who really cares, but it would be great to get something. Got excited back in December, but that just made me antsy. Back to the mind set that the money is gone again which chilled me out. Here was my order:
2 x ntsc
1 x pal
1 x j
Investor stick
I thought the sticks were holding everything up, but then some people from the Las Vegas group got their orders including the sticks I believe so my guesses all hit dead ends.
Hi guys, sharing one of the better and balanced reviews on Paprium. Enjoy! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FlIzeNasgvo
Mine is 2x Investor Japanese, and should also also include the stick, BUT, It said 'out of stock' when confirming items and could not be added to the order.
Now everytime I log on WM I get a "You have at least one pre-ordered item ready to be shipped!", and when I click on it I get the 'Some previously-paid pre-orders couldn't be added to your order due to lack of stocks.' message.
"Shipping..." from Las Vegas since '15/12/2020 - 17:14'
Hey all some of you might remember me from the MGF forums. I'm mostly a lurker here, but I have some things to share. I am awaiting a lot of investors copies one limited and two grand sticks. I decided to take a shot and call the number Fonz left on the MGF site. if you want to try to call the number remove the (0) otherwise the call will fail. I got a voicemail in French which I do not speak. no answer, I think ill stay up late and give it two or three more tries. Like zredgemz said i think there is a correlation between the investor sticks and a delay. its bullshit to see investors who bought in 2013 delayed while many others have their copies. After 8 years i am actually glad to know that its real, just want my shipment.
let me know what you guys find out. id suggest calling i mean why not. gods speed to all my paprium investors I just want my products at this point.
edit: also most shipping services in the US (fedex,ups,usps) have free services that allow you to track your mail and see as soon as a shipping label is created for your address. I have been heavily monitoring all of these services waiting for a label from Vegas. I suggest if you are not already a participant, to enroll in USPS informed delivery at least.

I remember. I called the number as well and Fonzie was the one who answered. The answer he gave me is that the sticks have to be counted and the rest would be shipped where they need to be. For the US it would have to go to the shipping company in Vegas and for Europe i assume Fonize is shipping those himself. As far as when games would be shipped he said there was a issue with the US shipping company what issue i forgot since this was a couple of days ago when i called. I have no doubt the games will ship. My issue is not knowing what the hold ups are and how much longer. The stick bit does worry me though.
Just a little remix of Retro Beat
See the concern I have with this is with WM there is always an issue with the third party - be it PayPal (more than once) or now the US shipping company...
I also have no idea why when I am in the UK, and the other guy who was from Eastern Europe - why are our orders coming from the US? While Brexit causes it's own issues for those of us in the UK, there is no sense in risking people paying more for customs/import tax if you have a base in Europe and can ship from there to buyers in Europe - why would you ever ship to these addresses from the USA?
As I said, now Brexit has happened, it's likely UK buyers would have to pay import tax on items sent from Europe anyway, but it's guaranteed coming from the US - looks to me like I will have to pay around £12, plus the standard Royal Mail customs charge of around £8, so can look forward to paying another £20 minimum once this does finally make it's way into the UK.
