Quoted from the_one:
Just thinking to jump on the train, especially that game would look great next to Predator.
But as the Predator still haven't been delivered yet, and there is a huge silence from SkitB I hesitate to spent the next couple of thousand dollars without a detailed plan. I know, different people, different company, different story, but ....
Are you sure they can held April 2015? Guys, that's just 5 months, so from my point of view the game should be now more or less right in front of the assembly line. I don't believe that. If they could really I guess it will be delivered much earlier than Predator where I jumped on the train from day 1 onwards.

Check out Andrew's presentation from EXPO. He is fast and has a track record of getting things done. I believe he got 251 custom pinball machines created and shipped to Bacardi in less than 6 months. He may be off by a month or two, but not much more.

Full Throttle #3
Alien #3

Quoted from Wolfanoz:
If it's anything like this, we're all in for a treat. A guy who works for Heighway helped with this table in Future Pinball (sounds, clips, development). Also a great guy like Aurich, and talented.

I would take something like that. Pretty damn cool!

Quoted from ezeltmann:
When i played the FT at Sanctum (4 times in 24 hours) i commented how it might be the best flowing game of all time.
The only real issue i have with it is the ball return (when going through the outside lane) on the left seems to almost forces players to "pass it over", due to the ball speed not allowing a decent shot aim from the left flipper.

It might be the best "Geometry" on a game in history. Whether you hit an inside loop, outside loop, ramp, or combination, the ball always flows smoothly (with speed) to one of the flippers.

Quoted from PanzerFreak:
The plaque comes with the LE model but I'm not sure where it's being mounted to. Here's a picture of the LE plaques for a Full Throttle LE. I'm not sure if Full Throttle shipped with both plaques or just one of them.

Not sure how you got pictures of those, but those are my plaques. The game came with both.

Quoted from NPO:
So, I'm just going to say it. I got my money refunded - my #3 slot is open for whoever wants it if it is still available.

I am very confused. I reserved LE #3 on Day One and paid for it. It matches my Full Throttle LE #3. Here is my email from Andrew from 10-21-14.

Hi Jim,

"It was also great to meet you at Expo.

Please accept my apology for the delay in replying to you, as I have had a mountain of emails to get through since Expo finished.

We have reserved number 003 for you.

When you get a chance, can you please download an Order Form from the site, fill it in, and send it back to me?

Thanks again for your order.

Kind regards,

Andrew"

UGH, trying to figure this out will be a waste of time for me today.

Jim

Quoted from conester:
Yeah, I don't think the #3 he was talking about was LE #3, I think it was a standard edition #3 off the line if I am not mistaken.
I'm still hanging in there (only have a deposit + $ for LCD and PDI glass)....the LE art looks amazing and I am pumped for this pin! I'm not sure what more info people want as Andrew has given us most every information he can, other than daily updates on issues they are working out and how many pins were made each day etc, which no manufacturer will do....hell, if this was a Stern, we would be getting ZERO information! Ok, yes, I agree they need to start ramping up production, but they are tweaking/improving boards etc so the pin is reliable and functions 100% as it should. Would you rather wait a while longer or get a pin with issues and then be pissed....and no doubt bash Heighway which is what Andrew is surely trying to avoid....I know I would based on the conversations here....I was getting a little concerned with the delay in getting FOX's approval on the art and showing it and the ramp lighting, but they showed that, so I'm good. It's summer anyway and I have a TON of other things to do besides play pinball in my basement, so I will keep busy and not wish away summer....Go Heighway!!
Brian

Yep, Andrew already contacted me. Sorry, I guess I was confused. I still have Alien LE #3 reserved. Glad to have that clarified early this morning. Hopefully, LE's will start shipping soon. I want mine for League play at my house in July.

Peace!

Quoted from WolfManCat:
For what its worth I bought this from Jim and would have paid up to 15k for it. Since this one is yours, if you were to add a signed translite or something I'm sure you could get over 15k.
With that said, I understand your position but if I were you and had a hand in something as big as the Alien franchise I would keep it. Thats something to possibly tell your kids about and screw any mention of HP.
Best wishes, either way and thanks for your contribution to this game.

I wish I would have known that...I'm Jim.

Just kidding - I hope the game brings you 1000's of happy plays.
