Sometimes you are like a pitiful with a toy Cavey,

PITBULL not PITIFUL, fxxxking auto correct, you are not pitiful, just PASSIONATE!

It's all good. I knew what you meant.
Also I think you have a great lifestyle living near the beach.
That's something I have recently decided to start doing a lot more of, walking on a beach for exercise and that beautiful fresh salt air. Too much work means a lot of us who live on the Gold Coast don't get to enjoy the best the coast has to offer.

2 comments from guys that went to the Texas Pinball Show that will make a few people happy.

"I asked Greg Freres about considering an EM-appropriate sound setup. He indicated that they would consider via settings reducing the audio to just chimes/bells. He also said that it's possible to add real bells/chimes to the game - that the connectivity is there for it. They were removed from the game both for cost and also so that location pinball doesn't reject the game due to lack of volume controls on the physical bells."

"As for price, my buddy got a price of $5500 from a distributor."

So for the price dealers in the US can sell for a $1000 under the MSRP and still make dollars supporting what was written in here re the price.

+1

So about 1300AU discount off RRP and still turn a profit. But think of the BOM.  %.%

Takes it back close to the current price of a Pro model in Aus. Still a couple grand over for what it is, but brings it to something more palatable to the end consumer.

That's far from correct Gav.
You made your point and I made mine.
No use us turning every difference of opinion into a long Gone with the Wind saga. Lol

It's all cool mate. Don't stress me. Lol  I am getting into holiday mode for my coming trip.
Be nice to me or I will have to stop by the shop and bring alcohol and strippers or dancing girls with me.
Then you will be on holidays too ! It's all Good Gav, it's all good.
My fingers don't even fit in my ears either. Lol

When you did the LA LA LA thing I only thought about Dorothy from WOZ skipping with the midgets.
That's what reading a JJP brochure will do to you.

That's great news.

Hey swinks, are you breaking down the BOM one item at a time?  :lol

Better be careful you might upset some by showing just how little cost there is in the build.

 $#$
Confirmed that I have one on order from Joe and expect delivery approx. end of May.
Don't ask me $ as I haven't had confirmation yet. This is probably my only and first NIB pinball. So stoked as it will be very unique especially here in Australia due to people baulking on price ( me too ).
I am really looking forward to sharing the ( hopefully ) fun to follow. Getting rid of my Dr Dude, High Hand and Monopoly to help fund and also make room for this title was not an easy decision.  *.*
Wonder if it gives you a fan fare if you clock it? ( remember that ) 9999 is the highest the score reels go, so, this might be a possible easter egg!
