Quality!!!

It will be like new pin day for me. I haven't been this excited since I got my TOM going
-
Is it a bar fridge or something larger, its hard to tell, they must be losing money at that rate if its a real fridge ?
I dont drink beer, but my neighbour does and i am sure he would go for that VB fridge. ^^^

It is a real fridge the dimensions are on the site. They value it at $700+ from memory
-
Thanks for the heads up my old man loves the stuff even has the vb logo tatooed on his chest with vb green flames. No doupt he will go buy enough slabs to get each item. Maybe even 24 slabs so i can get a vendre for my shed
-
Nice score there, I guess the beer will get drunk anyway!
-
Don't know if I could stomache 12 slabs of VB anymore, even for a free fridge *)*
-
I am sure there would be a steady supply of volunteers willing to assist...
-
Kewl,
Who has the best prices on VB Slabs?
Red
-
Yesterday it was dans at $34.50 each. I think that BWS have them at 2 for $76. There was 3000 fridges available. Its now 2219 after 72 hours of the promo
-
Probably all go tomorrow,
Will check out Dans.
Thanks,
Red
-
Still 2091 left; that is a fair bit of beer sold!
-
I'm in at 2020,
2019 left,
Dan Murphys 34.95/case
Now have to mail the receipt,
Red
-
%)% to the club $#$ $#$ $#$
-
Oh i cant drink that filthy stuff.. that and XXXX are so far removed from a true beer brewing process that its almost like buying brown shoe polish and calling it Vegemite.
BUT!!! I can see the attraction in the fridge, so congratulations on buying yourself a cool addition to any bar... if you like VB then that really is a bloody good looking fridge ^^^
-
I'm in and I think I was in the first 10 machines gone sad I know but hey nice addition to the games room ^^^ make sure we let each other no when machines are delivered,
Peter
-
The box says they are valued at $750 so hopefully they will be pretty good.
Now at 2000
Video here
Red
ps It is reassuring that a few of us have bought into this marketing promo.

Peter
Will do. Has the status of your order changed yet? Mine says in progress which means they havent sighted the receipt I posted off
-
Yeah my status is still in progress so should change next week hopefully :) can't wait looks like a nice collectible for my games room
Peter
-
Didnt realise it was a vendor... very cool indeed!!
-
My old man grabbed the 12 slabs but wouldnt know how to turn on a computer so i said id enter for him.. Didnt realise id have to type in twelve codes %.% %.%
-
Lol,
First I had to remove all the beer from the cases.
I bet cans were included, but didnt risk it and bought all bottles.
Receipt mailed today. Now all I should just have to do is wait,
Red

Then they are going to draw one an hour (or something like that hinted on the promo)
-
Didn't know it at the time and not fussed but the ad says its moulded to take only VB stubs. Will be interested to see who posts the first you tube video to show how to make it dispense anything
-
vb will kill you.

Yep, guaranteed.
It will only take stubbies, reading the fine print. But if you get sick of VB then I presume you could find other stubbies that have the same shape?
-
There aren't many stubbies, if any, of that short stout ( beer pun not intended :lol ) shape anymore
-
Just secured one for the old man.
-
One very cool beer fridge, I wonder if any will end up on ebay???

Without a doubt, especially if they get delivered before xmas. Has anyones order been processed? Mine still says in progress
-
Yeah mines still in progress also shit I hope they got my envelope :D
Peter
-
Better check mine. Was I supposed to send in the receipts or was that on request?
-
yes, sending in the receipts is a must.
Mine still in process last time I looked.
Over 50% sold 1465 left,
Red
ps. I'm thinking the rest will go a bit quicker. Interesting to watch
-

You need to go to your account page and down the bottom there are details of your order and its status. The last box is a tax invoice/validation form. Print it out fill it in and send it off with your receipts.

Peter
-
Kewl,
Would have been nice if they had just sent it.
Says they want the receipts within 10 days. So hopefully they process quickly.
Mine is still in Progress.

Red

Sounds like their system is wonky,

Pretty confident we are different from the 1 an hour promo. My page has done the same as yours. Doesnt make sense to count down the fridges as people apply for them if you are only going into a draw for one an hour.
-
Think it is pretty clear from their website that you guys are fine and that these are just additional ones they are offering.
"Now that the 3,000 VB Vending Machines™ have all been claimed, VB are giving one away every hour for the VB Summer Sweepstake Promotion (10am - 5pm) until 20 January 2012 in the VB Summer Best Cold Gear Sweepstake promotion"
-
I say we are fine.
We got in prior to the draw. (I did post earlier that the marketing said they would be drawing one every hour after the 3000 went (not sure exact wording posted), read it somewhere, I did hear that it was in the paper on Friday but didnt have time to find one and check it out.)
Still think there system looks wonky by re-allocating our codes.
Hopefully they will get it worked out soon,
Red
ps The other items are going a lot slower
pss. 3 weeks to xmas, might have to put an iou under the tree.
-
Thank guys I think I panicked !@) yeah does look
Like we have one $#$
Peter
-
Please note VB Vending MachinesTM validation takes 21 days from receipt and deliveries will be within 90 days or initial order.
That is from their contact us page.
How many days has it been so far. Seem like forever.
((( (((
Red
-
Mine should be validated by Wednesday then.
-
Mind should have been done by now then :(
Peter
-
Gents,
Got an email today saying my order for the fridge has cleared. Delivery date is 14/2 which is 90 days since the order went in. Hopefully they make it sooner but I doubt it.
-
Mine still in progress.
Anyone chase them up?
Hope they dont take over the 90days.
Starting to get though the beer (warm weather is helping) %.%
Red
-
Rad thanks for the update,
Gives hope,
Red
-
I got email today also mine now says cleared and same delivery date 14/2...NOW WHO WILL GET THERES FIRST <.>
Peter

Happy New Years,
Red

Awesome. I haven't heard yet. Photos please.
-
NIB
-
thats prety cool, how much beer did you have to drink to get that badboy???
-
Purchase 12cases and 49.95postage
Regs,
Red
-
thats not a bad deal for that, thats about $500 worth of piss? and that dispences the cans and all?
-
Looks good, what temperature is it set at, and how many does it hold?
-
shame i dont drink beer. ! well done mate on a very good score. That looks like a bloody great fridge. You must be stoked. Well done ! ^^^ ^^^ ^^^
-
Currently set at med, will see if it needs to adjusted.
Holds 48.
Was a bit bigger than expected. Which was a pleasant surprise (even though they published the measurements).
Bottom has a bit of foam that semi seals the release point.
Looking forward to photos of the others ones ordered by members,
Red
-
Still no delivery date for mine. Will it take much to adapt it to accept cans?
-
Cans may work,
It has plastic trays that I believe are changed depending on what style of can/bottle they are to support. (fit into slots, easy to take out)
At the bottom is a -- wheel with 3 forks that take turns going around the bottle -- that controls only one per dispense, might depend on its opening size.
Red
-
Awesome stuff well done can't wait for mine it looks great
Peter
-
These things are selling for over 1k on eBay come on cub where's mine??
Peter
-
It seems like they only did one day of delivery. Maybe they have run out of this shipment and are waiting for another?
If they continue to bring $1000 an e gay I will sell without opening.
-
Still haven't got mine although other people in my town are selling on eBay WTF where's mine I'm
Thirsty
Peter :-)
-
I haven't heard of any deliveries other than that first lot. I am selling mine when it arrives if it brings 1000
-
Keeping mine,
Red
-

Peter

I thought you'd got yours Daniel, must be a delay.
Peter

I emailed VB last week and today got a reply which say: they are very busy getting these machines out as the promotion was a huge success so be patient and the courier company will call soon before delivery of your vending machine.
Peter
-
Thanks for the update. I reckon they are still waiting for more stock
-
Wonder if they are selling on ebay.
Lol, making money to buy more.
Just kidding,
Hope you guys get yours soon,
Looking forward to photos,
Red

Nice to see the photos.
I remember taking the tape measure out (before it arrived) and thinking it would be about yeah big.
Then when it arrived It seemed bigger. I also have bother to go back and see the advertised dimensions.
Great to see the gamble paid off,
Red
-
Good to see you don't have a drinking problem anymore the fridge will make sure you never run out of coldies %.%
