It states that GameStop first opened an account with Diamond in 1997, when it was known as Babbage, before changing its name to GameStop in 2006, And that business dealings were fine until April 2022, when they claim Gamestop attempted "to cancel certain accepted purchase orders that were not yet fulfilled (i.e. delivered). This included a list of 87 previously submitted and accepted purchase orders, with a total contract price of in excess of $950,000.00."
Diamond claims that they told GameStop that "the products at issue were already ordered and paid for by Diamond (or that Diamond had partially paid for and was obligated to pay the full price for those goods). Diamond reminded Gamestop that pursuant to the agreement(s) and/or decades long course of dealings between the parties, accepted orders were not subject to cancellation without consent from Diamond. Gamestop nonetheless confirmed that it did not intend to accept or pay for the products."

Oh yea that would suck for you guys. Hopefully all works out.
Megalopolis v. Entertainment Earth V2. Maybe we'll all get a free minimate courtesy of GameStop once its settled.

Damn that's unfortunate. I'd rather not see Gamestop go personally.
Honestly as far as I'm concerned, screw them both. The large majority of Diamond's collectibles are overpriced crap, and that's assuming they actually ever get released. And GameStop has been screwing over its customers for years. Bring back Toys R Us and get rid of both of them.
Interesting, I didn't know that Diamond was no longer on the exclusive distributor for DC and Marvel books. The GameStop news really doesn't surprise me, wonder if this could be a problem that could mean the imminent end for GameStop.
Gamestop...more like PaymentStop!
Get She-Hulk on the case..
