Here you go Nick , happy days
From Pinside
I stopped by with some folks to talk to Gene at the Executive Plaza, where he billed himself as "The Illinois Pinball Show." Right out front and center was a stack of the Kingpin pre-order flyers. I asked him about his progress, and he said "we now have the chip," meaning that the problems he had before are now solved(?)-- he didn't sound too convincing. He went on to say that he"ll be ready to go forward before the end if the year. His wife, Georgina I believe, interrupted him to say "Oh, Gene, don't tell people a timeline. They'll be upset if you don't make the deadline!" But he insisted that he was moving the project forward now at a faster pace. The pre-order flyer also said $8000. I seem to remember a lower number ($6000) a few years ago. Anyone remember if it's always been $8000? Regardless, it would be a shame if this very cool pin never gets made.
