I think the majority are just excited about the project - I know I am - and that makes it difficult to wait.
I, for one, have greatly enjoyed the Facebook updates of the development of the arcade machines even though I am not interested in arcades. It has been very interesting to see the progress. It is also good to know that there is diversity in the business and that the factory is pumping out product. This bodes well for the long-term viability of the company and that means more pinball.
While I am impatient, I actually like that very little has been shown very little of the Thunderbirds machine, this means that the machine will have a greater impact on release. I would however, be very interested to hear how the project is going: has the whitewood been finalised? How is the development of the hardware system progressing? Has the approval process of the art been difficult? Will production take place in the same facility as the arcade machines? How will they test the design before production? Will they be taking pre-production units to shows? It would be great if we could have some discussion of these types of questions if possible.
