The best advice I can give you is to keep your cool and don't give up. It will happen when the time is right. I am waiting just like you. Except that I am 500% CERTAIN that I will get my product. I have NO doubts at all. Do I need it? Yes I do. But, You can't rush quality. This is my 3rd EZ-B to purchase. Why did I order three? Because each one is better than the last. Even the older version is better than ALL of the other competition combined.

1k in parts. And he wants to cancel a 100 order. Bah! I see how that sucks.

I thought he was losing his patience with the 2 month wait.

It's actually my money. He just uses his credit card for larger purchases (besides the 1k in parts, i bought that all by myself) and i hand him the money that it costs. He's slightly less mad now that he knows what pre-order means, though.

That sucks dude... Not sure how old you are, but you seem like a really bright kid... It's not right that he controls money that you earned... To me that's going a little too far as a parent and holding on to your kids too tight... Nothing against your dad I am sure he is a great guy, but having that kind of control to me is not letting your child grow up and flourish... This is just IMHO I should add, however...

Good news : He's thinking about letting me keep my pre-order. Thanks guys.

Sweet!.... Ask him to give you (EZ-Robot) 'til the end of Feb and that's it... Surely it should ship by then... In the meantime, wash the car or get him a gift card for beer (that always works for me....... )

cupcakehat sounds good.may i ask how old you are.you dont have to say it if you dont want .

Just to add to what @josh stated, Not only will it be a longer wait but it will almost certainly be more expensive the next time you order it. One advantage of pre-orders is you sometimes get a better price. Demand starts to go up so the prices increases. To give an example, and this isn't even a pre-order. I bought the latest Masterpiece Optimus Prime from Toys R Us in the first few weeks they started showing up in the stores. I got it for $99.99. He flew off of the shelves as soon as he was put there. (I was lucky to just happen to be there at the end of the day when they started stocking so I snatched him up. Two weeks later when they finally re-stocked him, he was $119.99.

So next time it comes up, if it comes up, treat it like a business deal. Mention that canceling will cost YOU money and ask if he's prepared to make up the difference with HIS own money because HE was impatient. It's my experience that once you start talking about money, all of a sudden, people start "speaking the same language". If you've already paid him for the order then, he's got his money. When it shows up, is your problem, not his. He should treat this as a free opportunity to learn you the value of patience. When we were waiting for my step-sons Xbox One to show up, I got a huge kick out of watching him pace through the house from anxiousness waiting for it to show up. But, I have a twisted sense of humor. I can't wait to take him to the DMV.

And if it's a matter of him trying to protect you from being taken advantage of, I can sort of understand but personally, I believe, everybody touches the hot stove ONCE. And if you don't learn from that then there's probably no helping you. I feel that it's best to make big mistakes and learn from them as a child because, big mistakes can ruin an adults life. stress But that's just the way I was raised.

We'll just say that, I don't come from a wealthy family. I had to be ready to be an adult with my money and decision making because my family couldn't afford to help me with anything more than advice as an adult. And just to judge my life from the home and neighborhood I grew up in to the life I have now, while not rich by any means, I'm doing better than when I started so, I know that the Great Grandparents that Dad and I lived with and who primarily raised me would be proud.

Looking at some of the stuff you've posted, I'd like to think your Dad is pretty proud of you. I sure would be.
