I disagree; I think it's absolutely disrespectful for them not to explain their current circumstances up front. If they can't fulfill the terms of the implied contract of sale, they shouldn't be offering goods for sale without — at the very least — extensive caveats about how long it may take to get orders fulfilled. OP has every right to be irritated.
You're correct, but this should be as much warning about the Flat River Group as it is for Renegade. FRG is front-line and DIRECTLY responsible for these shenanigans. Renegade showing up at GenCon does not in any way speed up or slow down how FRG operates.
In addition to pressuring Renegade to rethink whether or not they want to continue working with FRG, the same pressure needs to happen with FRG as well. If FRG has a Google Business listing, a zero-star review would be quite warranted. Another post here addressing FRG directly would also help, and if someone does decide to do that, I'll be inclined to forward the link to that thread to FRG.
I have never placed an order with Renegade (the shipping costs always gave me pause and I'm on the 'wrong' coast for the deals to be any good), but I'm experiencing a lot of secondhand frustration for the community that is having to deal with this.

The problem isn't with Renegade itself, but with Flat River Group, their warehousing and fulfillment partner. They've apparently put a lot of Renegade stock in deep storage, and put getting it out on the back burner, seemingly focusing on their (much) larger retail partners. Renegade's basically got their hands tied, as FRG has all their stock, and pointing fingers isn't going to get them to move faster. It has nothing to do with disrespecting you, and everything to do trying to remain somewhat professional with a partner holding their stuff hostage.

When the card wasn't in effect, I got a 10-20% discount. I preferred that.
I forgot... At the end of the reward period, they would do a drawing of the completed cards for gift certificates. I never won. I was a good customer, but some of those folks spent much more than I did. Somehow. 😀

My former FLGS had a rewards card for parts of the year. Every $5 got your card punched, filling the card (50 spaces) got you a $50 shopping spree. My wife and I are both hazy on the numbers (20% doesn't feel right). I don't think they still do that.When the card wasn't in effect, I got a 10-20% discount. I preferred that.

What now? Is the thing really happening? I hope not—it’s a bit of jollity that pops up in my feed and very so often.
Edit: I love a HEA so thank you very much for sharing the engagement story. 🥰

My FLGS has a system where, once you've spent $100 there in a certain timeframe (I think maybe 6 months?), you get $10 off. It's a nice little bonus, considering that I would be buying stuff there even if they didn't have that system, due to great selection and customer service.
No you can't have a Crystal Castles. We have Crystal Castles at home.

Also had a great time at the con. I'll have a post about it on my regular gaming blog soon.

This game has intrigued me since it came out. I KSed it but have yet to play. LM give it some thought. I love the feel of it in my head when I think about the setting/world.
