Got the freight call. #37 will be here Thursday (would have been a week earlier if I didn't hold off shipment until after TPF [and perhaps even earlier if I received the initial e-mails they tried to send]).
Got to play the game at TPF and was finding the shots by ball 3 of game one. As many have noted, all the brick-fest drama was overblown by people that hadn't played the game (I expect Bowen helped put an end to that). I had criticized the audio from the early video clips, but it sounds good in person (while I was anticipating more of the raspy, animated Alice tones early on, I think the callouts fit well after experiencing the game). Looking forward to hearing it at home to decide what I really think. Upper playfield also performs way better than expected (ball returns to the flipper well and doesn't feel clunky at all).
