You are f@#$ing joking?

 @@* Well done Mike or fellow Aussie and mate. But that's just Mike isn't it so that'll be OK to shaft people coz he's a straight shooter yeah???  Obviously those who think of him like that have got no f**king idea what a straight shooter is. Other names come to mind but straight shooter, friend, fellow Aussie mate don't

Hang on, earlier today there was dribble about how hard things are going over there, and a container heads off to Canada ?  !*!

Now we know where all the Aussie Pre Order dollars went to.. Canada.. Hopefully there is a container heading to Australia as well. If not, that is VERY "UN-Australian".

Right there is your reward for " having faith in my ( Homepin) ability to deliver".
Stump up the funds from day 1 so the guy has some collateral to build a "factory from scratch" and get immediately f**ked over.
What a low life piece of shit the man is.

sorry mate but you're incorrect there. The preorder dollars went to good ol China. The product paid with potential Canadian dollars went to Canada. how best to maximum profits by selling a product twice I say. Yes it will be interesting to hear his speil at upcoming pinball fest. What excuse will he use for this unfortunate situation.... I know homepins shipping manager died recently and his replacement doesn't know where Australia is. That happens in business of which us ignorant, non business savvy pinball shmucks don't understand

I have been a bit quiet of late and having a break from Facebook and Pinside but this makes me so angry and takes the shine off pinball though not a surprise as been aware of some of his scams in the past - Mike you are a crook and this isn't the first time is it........
first the Microphone- https://pando.com/2013/06/30/thieves-and-scams-the-problem-with-crowdfunding/- https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/micro-phone-our-amazing-device-is-now-available-with-bluetooth-4-0-ble-tracking--17#/comments
next the Rapide 3D printer 1, 2 and 3 taking lots of peoples indiegogo dollars,

https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/rapide-lite-affordable-high-resolution-3d-printer#/comments
yes he claims he left Ethan Hunt at the Microphone days but they still worked together right through the printer days, but it is all bullshit.http://www.supplierblacklist.com/2016/05/18/rapide-3d-ionnoi-digital-ltd/look at the fake signage on the building....

I hadn't heard this one before:- knew wife died of cancer which is sad I know but he started the business knowing that and chased his dream while she was sick alot in Aus with him not around to support ???- then the programmer dies setting back the project and cancels the colour dmd from the game - now the shipping manager dies setting back shipping - it is hard to believe this guy anymore and don't wish him luck anymore
Maybe the new shipping manager sent them to the wrong country - sorry - bad joke
As for you Pete go to the Industrial Relations and get your money back....

Technically speaking, all $ went to China. The Hankin clones and Lowboys paid for the rent / fitout of the factory etc.


From Day One, the emphasis was to produce TBAG for the Aussie / UK market, as the show itself was not a show shown in the USA. Pete's money, was for his machine, not for the Canadian, USA or rest of the world market. He should get his first. If I was a pre order customer, I would be doing everything in my power for a refund. BUT we don't know what is going on in the background. From experience, it looks "typical"..

What a shitshow.
Firstly I hope everyone who has paid up for A tbag get the game they ordered.
After that is done I really hope he goes broke and out of business.

he does not have what it takes to make it in the pinball business, innovation
TAG is where pinball was back in the late 80's
look at the games Stern is making, JJP, Spooky. they are all making games that are exciting

All Mike can do is blame others

The game does look incredibly lame, makes a zizzle look good.
Such a waste of a great theme.
I will never buy ANYTHING from this fraudster, he is a stain on the pinball community.

My bad when typing on phones. No deaths reported but I was being sarcastic in what other lame excuse will come out of this mob like something stupid as a ficticious death. There is always an excuse with this company and always out of their control and the customer should wear it
