« on: March 16, 2018, 11:11:51 AM »
Worst kept secret in pinball, but at least it is a machine that will be fully playable and revealed at the Texas Pinball Festival.

A lot is covered in the article - and YES - They will be available to the Aussie Market. Some promo stuff heading downunder after the reveal !

I'll bet Nick is REALLY excited ! I will definitely be buying one of these.. #@# *%* ^^^

James has been sharing with me some updates as the prototype was being put together over the last three months, and I provided a bit of my research at the start from my home build project.

To say I am excited is the biggest understatement!!!

Yes we do. But first let's wait for the unveiling and then more details will be released. They are 100% coming to Australia.

This is how to present, market and support a game ;

Some questions regarding artwork, display type, parts and game play are explained here. One question remains, do we have Mountain Dew in Australia ?

Having the choice between the original rules and new enhancements / HD etc - really impressive.

During the seminal, James mentioned no price will be set until they have the BOM and a selected manufacturer. You are guaranteed first option on the production run.
How will they get here ? More than likely, by Sea in a container.

I figured that..... was just curious if coming via a distributor / importer or if you have to organise yourself?

Via a distributor. Details will be confirmed soon. All you need to remember - keep your translite number - That's your game.
