Title: Independence Sale - New deals every 24 hours
Post by: soundasleep on February 17, 2014, 11:31:58 PM
When Infinity Amusements first started the goal was to produce Australia's first "for retail" virtual pinball tables. We did that, and along the way we opened our online store offering all the parts you need to build your own video-pin. The online store has been growing nicely but until now we have been sourcing the majority of our products from local suppliers and acting as a reseller.

With local prices either on their way up, or set to rise soon, we decided it was time to "go independent". Over the next few weeks we will begin to carry (as regular stock) a full range of pinball spare parts ranging from our own locally produced cabinets and WMS replica parts, OEM parts from the biggest overseas suppliers and a handful of Australian exclusive products still to be announced.

To celebrate this expansion we wanted to offer something back to the community that got us on our way.

As we announce each product in our catalogue we will offer a Daily 24 Hour Special.
These will be amazing once-only pricing with up to 60% off the normal RRP. These prices will NOT be repeated.
Daily specials will be updated around 9PM each night.

After the initial 24 hours most products will continue with 20% off for Early Bird Pre-Orders (ordered before the stock ships)

Then finally we will continue with a 10% discount until the stock actually arrives.

FIRST 24 HOUR SPECIAL: TMNT Jumble Sale

We've just finished gutting a Sega Data-East "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" table so to kick-start things we are offering all the components at bargain prices.

Parts are untested and are sold AS IS. No reasonable offer refused!

Usually $1.25 each we have sliced 40% off these essentials items for just 24 hours!

Now for anybody wanting to order multiple special items during the sale and have them all shipped at once, choose Direct Deposit as your payment method and we will collate orders as we go.

You have a complete solution for virtual pinball that works with pinball arcade, pinball fx2 etc. that's very cool dude. The product you have looks very good and I know some people here would be keen if they had a look at your website.
Very niche product and if it is allowed you should post some pics and maybe video of them being played.
Are you a sponsor of this forum?

I'm glad you like what you've seen so far. I've had to resist the temptation to play Bride of Pinbot all day rather than getting actual work done ;)

We have taken hundreds of photos we've taken during product development on our Instagram page (http://instagram.com/infinitypinball)

There is a little bit of video on our page, and I'll be uploading a bunch of gameplay vids over the next few days.

Deal 5: WPC95 Reproduction Cabinets
http://infinityamusements.com/product-category/flat-pack-kits/

OK, so it took about a month longer than it should have, but I'm happy to announce the launch of our full line of WPC95 style reproduction cabinets.

These cabs are designed with video-pins in mind, and with a little additional re-enforcement are also a suitable replacement for a real pinball table.

All products are a flat pack design using easy to assemble knock-down fittings. Think Ikea furniture but with quality wood rather than crappy particle board.

Cabinets are available in three sizes (Classic 56cm, Infinity 59cm and WideBody 63cm) and backboxes are available as complete kits or just panels only.

Cabinets are built from your choice of either 18mm MDF or 18mm Grade A Russian Birch plywood.

Now the awesome bit. From now until 11:59pm Monday night, I'm offering 20% off the MDF cabs and 10% off plywood cabs.

These cabs are already extremely very well priced (Regular price is $358 for a full MDF cab kit, $638 for plywood) so this discount is a one time only deal. Don't miss out! :)

http://infinityamusements.com/product-category/flat-pack-kits/

NOTE: Shipping to most locations for a cabinet IS going to be more than the $30 that will be quoted. Average cost is $50-$70. We will confirm shipping cost when we contact you with your ETA.

Customers with existing orders have all been contacted to confirm details and ETA. If you already have an order and HAVEN'T received your email, please contact me ASAP.

UPDATE: Shipping is now calculated at a "worst case" scenario. 99% off the time actual shipping will be cheaper and we will refund the difference.

Hi Soundasleep
Ive just been looking at your site and your virtual pin     its dose look really well made  #*#

Thanks Howzat, much appreciated.

I have a feeling selling parts to other cab builders and renting out machines is going to be where the business is, more so than the direct machine sales but let's hope I'm wrong ;)

America seems to be able to support two "major" virtual pinball businesses, but they've also got 10 times the population and easier sales to other countries.

Still, it's my intention to make Infinity Amusements the number one shop in Australia for Virtual Pinball and Virtual Reality, see let's see where the road takes us :)

Gameplay vids are definitely coming, it's just a matter of getting around to it. I'm still working part time in another job and I'm a dad so time is a scarcity.

I'm lucky if I manage to squeeze in one or two games a day on my own machine! :)

Dude! Cat got your keyboard? ;)

I went with PinballX over Hyperpin so I can't comment on that side of things...

Our cabs are setup to support Pinball Arcade and PinballFX2 but the backglass is a mockup, neither game has a real cab mode yet.

I'm working on mocking the DMD in game too using software mirroring, but haven't solved that one yet.

I *may* have some free time this weekend to play with Visual Pinball and Unity Pinball some more. Just not enough hours in the day!

Great price for a widebody lockdown bar but I am a bit concerned about the durability of using glue?

What type of glue?

Can you give any type of guarantee?

I'll double check tomorrow but I'm 98% sure they used Gorilla Glue. I do remember they went through 3 different types before finding one that would bind properly.

As for a guarantee, I don't see why not. I'll double check what the manufacturer gives me but I think 6 month coverage against manufacturing defects would be reasonable.


Now....today's deal :)

For those of you paying attention ;) the lack of updates has probably already told you the sale as come to an end. If you are looking at building a video pinball machine, or need components to restore a real pinnie, we now have our full range of products in-stock and ready to ship anywhere in Australia.

To finish off, I'm offering 10% off anything in the store (excluding sale items) to forum members only.

The coupon code is "endofsale" and is valid for the next week (expires 24/3/14).

If anybody has any more questions about our product range, please let me know :)
