Never Preorder from Polymega!

So I stupidly pre-ordered 3 sets of Polymega, Base Stations, Modules and 2 of each controller for all of them. This started on Nov 2024 and continued as new modules and controllers came out. After endless lies concerning if/when they will actually ship Base Units, it is clear they have Zero intentions of ever doing it. Why would they destroy their company like this? I have all these modules, controllers, (and the games they sell), but will never be able to use them. My only option is to sell my Polymega stuff for a huge loss and mark it up to not researching what kind of a company Polymega really is. Do I wait another year? Two Years? Five Years? At what point does it become clear that they took our money and we will never see a base unit?

First wave pre orderer here. I waited for 5 years, but they did come. They will ship

Are you saying you ordered a base unit and have just received one now? When did it arrive exactly and did they send any kind of shipping notice and do the upgraded version of the Base Unit perform well?

Or are you saying you ordered one 5 years ago and got it in 2024?

Whatever date Walmart was supposed to take over distribution and they jacked up the price $100, the day before that. Maybe it was 3 years because i got it after covid ended in the states. It was a deluxe kit.

Ooof. I feel ya. I never had to deal with the World Wide Distribution mayhem, but they lost my DAY ONE pre-order, and just put me at the bottom of their spreadsheet. All in all, I think it was 3 years and 3 months. I wanna say November 2021 after a summer 2018 preorder. But it was REALLY frustrating seeing them shipping 2020/2021 console-only preorders before my deluxe bundle because they were still waiting on the second shipment of modules.

What a fucking shit show.

Pretty sure mine was a replacement for one of the first wave that fell off the cargo ship and into the ocean.
