Worst kept secret in pinball, but at least it is a machine that will be fully playable and revealed at the Texas Pinball Festival.

A lot is covered in the article - and YES - They will be available to the Aussie Market. Some promo stuff heading downunder after the reveal !
I'll bet Nick is REALLY excited ! I will definitely be buying one of these.. #@# *%* ^^^

James has been sharing with me some updates as the prototype was being put together over the last three months, and I provided a bit of my research at the start from my home build project.
To say I am excited is the biggest understatement!!!

Yes we do. But first let's wait for the unveiling and then more details will be released. They are 100% coming to Australia.

Very cool! ()

i wonder if it will ship with a colored display or stick with the protos orange?
-
looks like it will be a lcd and when you play old rules it is orange dots and colour lcd for modern rules

Some questions regarding artwork, display type, parts and game play are explained here. One question remains, do we have Mountain Dew in Australia ?
Having the choice between the original rules and new enhancements / HD etc - really impressive.

I just learnt that in purchasing a sign translite secures you a spot on the wait list, got one ^^^
now how much for the game and how are they coming to Aus !@#

During the seminal, James mentioned no price will be set until they have the BOM and a selected manufacturer. You are guaranteed first option on the production run.
How will they get here ? More than likely, by Sea in a container.

I figured that..... was just curious if coming via a distributor / importer or if you have to organise yourself?

Via a distributor. Details will be confirmed soon. All you need to remember - keep your translite number - That's your game.

As far as I know. I will ask James next week. I have read a small sample of the scuttlebutt, which is largely misinformation. I think some people forget that these guys have "real" jobs.. Last I heard they were still waiting on a couple prospective manufacturers to return with indicative costings to build the machines. But I'll report back with some more concrete info rather than wildly speculate..

Hmmm, there be changes afoot.... glad I built mine when I did
-
But a little of my research might make its way in, so that would be nice....
-
hope this still happens, bought the translite in the hope...
-
I will ask James again. He has been distracted with other activities of late.

Any news you can share Nino?
