LOL. Thats just for the benefit of t'internet lurkers....
I would be up for shipping the lot together. We'll just have to work out the details when the time comes. Most likely, a good deal on shipping would come via having them shipped by sea in one container.
The vat on 6 machines is approx £4125 @20% VAT + 2% import duty. Thats £687.50 each ($1100).
HOOOOOLLLLEEEEE SHEEEETTT!!!....
Get ready to tighten those belts fellas. I will be dining on catfood and weetabix for the weeks post predator delivery. Still amazes me to this day how much energy you get from ash and crude fibres....
You guys near Newton Aycliffe? Teesside is same or near right? Went there 3-4 times a couple years ago for work.
Yes the segment sounded great! Here it is.

Bad publicity for us!
We are off to the Allentown show in a couple of hours. See you guys there!
Looking forward to meeting you and seeing the game.

Easily the ugliest motorcylce I have ever seen. LMAO
How about THIS for a Predator Topper!

Ted, that thing is awesome!! Only problem is you would need 10ft ceilings in your gameroom. Which also would be awesome now that I think of it.
Or hopefully the SkitB team is having Matt from Back Alley Creations develop a topper or possibly having Joe (Laseriffic) develop one before all these pins ship out. What do you say Kevin, Topper in the works?
Kevin did say something about a topper when I talked to him, and I thought on here. That would be an extra, and it'd be interactive. The idea was to have a Laser-Guided-Anti-Lyman device mounted on it (those that have seen him play with his.. crouch, would know what I mean by that maybe) . I no longer remember if Kevin covered this on this massive thread, so I won't reveal further details that I'm sure he could do better.

I will wait to hear back as well...12 pages on this thread already....Takes some time to get through.

That would be sweet having the Predator with a mounted laser that shoots down on the player. I remember them hinting at this a while back. I hope they can pull something like that off it would be an awesome feature!
Holy cow, guys, what a night. The show here at Allentown was seriously one of the best we've been to, and there was tons of interest in the Predator. It was nice to meet a lot of Pinsiders in person, as well as other people who we've talked to over the last few months. The really wild end to the night is that we let a bunch of pinheads from Montreal talk us into bringing the game up into our hotel room (didn't take much convincing, honestly) after the show closed down. There were something like 10 guys in the room with the game for about the last 5 hours or so, and we're just now getting to bed. What a blast, seriously. Big shout outs to Scott, Ian, Silvain (sp?), and everybody else who hung out for the better part of the night!
On a side note, I have been somewhat neglecting my emails and PMs while out here in PA, but I promise everybody I'll be getting to them within the next day or two.
Tomorrow morning we're going to be stopping by the sound manager's studio to nail down some info and ideas, and I'll make it a point to ask about attaching his name to the project officially. After that, it's a long ride home to check those emails and sleep for about a year...

Man. Wish I knew that was happening! I would of been there. I drove home like a chump instead. I'm 50/50 on it right now. Just need some friends to give me that extra 1 percent in the right direction! I'm sure I will be in touch. Very cool news on the sound manager too! People will enjoy that when you let that out. Tons of great news on the game. Had a blast playing in a few times. Nice meeting you guys as well.
Man, I was getting really excited until I read "hotel room". I thought you were going to say they convinced you to bring the game up to Canada... with a stop in Toronto of course 
Sounds like a blast. Our French Canadian brothers know how to party... Believe dat' 
Quoted from The_Dude_Abides:Making a topper with the predator or something else that would point a laser at the player would be sweet. Or even a laser worked into gameplay (on a Predator toy) in the playfield would be pretty cool. Not sure what type of safety concerns there would be maybe someone else can chime in on that. If you do need a waiver I would get it in writing before you ship it out and then a statement on the additional parts "by installing this...ect".
Waivers don't work every where. Waivers are attune to "assumption of risk" . . . that theory of law is only recognized in some states (usually states with skii resorts or beaches).
There are plenty of LED's or strobe lights that can be used instead.

I wasn't implying they work everywhere. I was merely suggesting they add a step to what they were already thinking about doing which can be seen looking at my statement in context. I dont think coming up with an alternative to a 'laser' nowadays would be too difficult. Either way I think it is a great idea that would really be a cool feature if they were able to pull it off.

Sure sounds like you all had a fun night indeed! Glad the show went well for you all.

I agree fully with everything you say above. I was more of warning Skit B as I think they might have misunderstood you based on their response to your post.

The pleasure was all ours! It's nice to see people as crazy as we are! Again, thanks from the MAACA members! Sylvain (Azatotht), Victor (Splitskull) and myself were talking about it all the way home!

Kevin and Aaron,
Great time in Allentown. The highlite of the show was Predator. From ALL the Canadians that are fans and on board for Predator, from Montreal, Ottawa and Toronto, and across the country, keep it up guys. Looking forward to it and we can't wait for the arrival of this fantastic pin.

Quoted from northvibe:Oh man I may have to get my first nib
Stay tuned, there are a few more tricks up our sleeve to be released fairly soon
Quoted from RGR:So where to next Skit???
HOME! Joking aside, we don't have any current plans to go to any more shows, at the moment. There are a few we're looking into, but for now we need to focus a bit on the game, itself. There have been huge leaps with the game, physically, in the last month or so, but there are still just the two of us that are working on the actual 'development' end of the game, and it has been somewhat neglected in that aspect while doing public appearances and shows and such. We're not taking ourselves off of the social 'map,' but we have lots of work to do. Before we go off to another show or other public showing, we need to get our new whitewood installed with new ramps (those who have played the machine know what I'm talking about) and new shot modifications, not to mention the new modes that are being added at the same time.
Quoted from Redketchup:Should be in my memories for the rest of my life
For sure! We had a blast, as well.
Quoted from Whridlsoncestood:Man. Wish I knew that was happening! I would of been there. I drove home like a chump instead.
It's not like it was a planned thing; the idea came up during a cigarette break in front of the hotel at like 10PM. The party don't stop just because the show was over!
Quoted from Drano:Man, I was getting really excited until I read "hotel room". I thought you were going to say they convinced you to bring the game up to Canada
Don't worry, no matter what they'll tell you, they were pretty jealous of ya for being the first on the list
Quoted from spfxted:There are plenty of LED's or strobe lights that can be used instead.
This is the angle we're looking at right now. We'll let you all know how it pans out.
Quoted from Sparkys_Revenge:It's nice to see people as crazy as we are! Sylvain (Azatotht), Victor (Splitskull) and myself were talking about it all the way home!
Believe me, we were too We're gonna have to get together again soon and hang out. Maybe a trip out through Canada is in order?

Scott,
Please see above comment

Nice to see the Canucks out in full force!
After 7 years collecting I only joined the forums earlier this year so that I could get to know others in the hobby a lot better and get more involved... and especially to find some local pinheads.
Seems like the Canadian contingent on pinside has been steadily increasing recently. Very cool to see the support shown for SkitB. One road trip to Allentown and three more Predators coming north of the 49th... that's pretty cool!
Now we all just have to get together and play some pinball!!!
