[Triage: The February 2026 status of 'in limbo with no playfield art' represents a mid-development checkpoint that precedes the late 2026 release expectation, showing progression from uncertain development to anticipated completion.]
[Triage: Both mentions describe the same February 2026 departure event, with mention 79 representing an earlier account written before full details emerged, and mention 81 providing a later, more complete characterization of the circumstances.]
[Triage: The information reflects a progression in the product's status from planned release (2022-2025 window) to delayed shipment (extended into 2025), representing a status update rather than conflicting claims about the same period.]
[Triage: The information represents a progression in release planning for the Raza machine, with earlier expectations (late 2025/early 2026) refined to a more specific schedule (April 2026 with 333 units).]
Expert: 333 units is correct as of available knowledge. Note: Raza is no longer in production.
