It says alot about Homepin business and Thunderbirds popularity if there are no shipments coming to Aus in the near future apart from pre-orders. Also with the ball debacle and the apparent issues with the arcade tables I would not trust his product support if he is still around. Good to see people saying their bit over on Pinside. Mike and mini-Mike (wiredoug) are saying too much of late.
Must say not a fan of Highway Entertainment either as they are being a bit shady about their digital pin and not clearly stating what is going on with Pinball Arcade etc....
The tables are brilliant. Only Gamemasters are better. The Lowboys were a disaster. I bought a container, and I had problems with the first 3-4 so from that point on, I've had to QA every single machine. Every single Lowboy has issues that the customer would have picked up. Once I have gone over the machines, they are reliable. Communicating this back to Homepin was met with "Mike is too busy building TBAGs to talk to you about YOUR problems.."
This was the start of the end. THANKFULLY, I had the 6 TBAG pre order deposits held in trust, and when the next part of Homepin's conduct eventuated, I contacted each pre order buyers and returned their deposits in full.
