I would have liked to order his other products and controllers but the way Warrior has been handled did not instill confidence that my money would be reciprocated with a product. No, you shouldn't have a problem with those, just mind however much time the site states they'll take to reach you (one of them said allow 4-6 weeks or something, which I admit I'm being too lazy to go look to see what it is). They're not like Warrior where you'll still be waiting years later.

Buy off ebay. He has to send in a timely manner. Items I purchase off ebay come in days, weeks tops. Items I buy direct off his website take weeks, even a month. I'm one of the few who didn't get a pre-order on Warrior or any of his controllers though.

I have Warrior #7 - but not received yet. Sometimes even retro collectors have to wait for a game. ;-)

Auction description:
WARRIOR
BRAND NEW!
COMPLETE WITH GAME, BOX, MANUAL, AND OVERLAY!
Rare opportunity to buy Warrior new, directly from the game developer. All Warrior games have already been pre-ordered. This is a canceled customer pre-order. If you missed out, here's your chance!
The original landmark arcade game was released by Vectorbeam in the 1970's. The Vectrex version brings back all the fun of the original 2-player game, plus includes an all-new single-player mode featuring a series of computer-controlled opponents.
Includes one of the original hand-crafted overlays, plus the auction winner will receive one of the newer die-cut overlays. The newer overlay will be shipped separately, later this year, and is NOT a part of the auction. It will be sent to you FREE OF CHARGE as a courtesy, before year-end.
PAYMENT EXPECTED WITHIN 48 HOURS OF AUCTION ENDING PRODUCT SHIPS WITHIN 48 HOURS OF PAYMENT RECEIPT
3-DAY AUCTION - NO RESERVE
Fury

Let me chew this over for a second. A bunch of guys (not me, thankfully) place a pre-order nearly three years ago (is that right?,cos I'm pretty bored with this now), and most of them get gazumped by some schmuck who picks a copy up FROM THE DEVELOPER on ebay?
Couldn't Fury have offered that copy to the next person in the queue?
I had a lot of sympathy with Fury at the start, what with juggling work/hobby/life etc. but I think this is just taking the piss.
Actually I'm not bored with it. I think it's really, really funny. Just how long can everyone be strung along?

Obviously, the overlays are still an issue because last I heard, end of last year/January is that they would completed in February. This auction is saying end of the year.
I think the smartest business decision would have been send someone in the community their copy so someone could say that they recently received a copy. The only problem is that since Helmut (007/150) has not received his copy, leads me to believe that even fewer people than previously calculated have actual acquired their copy. Instead of 15-20, it maybe 5-10.
I will tell you one thing. Creating a stir is not going to help your situation at all. George will either stop communicating with you until he's ready to or he'll issue a refund and you're on your own trying to find a copy. Nothing is going to expedite it.

So exactly how many people on this forum have a copy or are waiting for a copy?
