I saw a post on Pinside by Wise_Guy

"So I talked to Gene yesterday on the phone about him remaking Kingpin. He told me he has someone working on the boards and they are moving forward on the project. I have put my name on the list along with my BBB # so if he does remake Kingpin I will get the same # Kingpin that I have BBB a matching pair. Anyhow the cost is $8,000.00 and no deposit is required right now. They told me they would have a update soon and will keep me posted. If anyone else is interested all thats required right now is to fax them your name, address and contact info and if you own a BBB your BBB # so you can get the same number Kingpin. There fax # is 309-828-3232 phone is 309-825-5844"

sounds like it is slowly getting closer, hopefully he lives long enough to sell them (no disrespect).

Why don't you show the rest of that thread or at least link to it??? Alot of guys thinking this is still 2+years away and not really going anywhere fast.
