I think what Heighway is doing is fantastic but I do always have a little chuckle at the predicted dates. Someone should make a list.

Quoted from HeighwayPinball:23 Standards are on the line. Parts are arriving every day.
We are flat out finishing the first 3 games for EAG next week. This is the major European coin-op trade show in Europe.
We aim to have 3 x Aliens there and 3 x Full Throttles.
With heavy snowfall forecast over the next 24 hours, we are hoping the roads will be clear as more parts are due to be collected tomorrow.
Wow, that is seat of the pants stuff! I hope you make it and don't have too many parts outstanding.

Quoted from nwpinball:American Distributor, 8K: https://cointaker.com/t/aliens
Or almost $10,000 in the UK, where it is built. Crazy!

Quoted from HoakyPoaky:If their business plan is more focused on getting that new money from UK/European orders, I wouldn’t be surprised if they skip North America shows altogether.
It only made sense in the UK when it was cheaper than machines from established companies.

Quoted from take2-take5:Thinking if we ever get a proper game to try and put current mess in the past, it will be the hobbit - looks like JJP got everything included with the license and is a really complete package. The theme is what pulls us towards it- but will do my research first this time!
I guess we would all buy brand new games, given enough disposable income but buying 2 or 3 older classics for the same money might be a better option.
Quoted from take2-take5:The same game in the UK is more expensive than the US too. For example to get the Hobbit (standard edition) in the UK your talking about £7500!, I can see on the US market on pinside you can get a hardly used Limited edition for $6700 that's about £4,900... I wonder if I can import it from the US, however it seems no listings want to ship worldwide.
Yes, the price difference sucks. This post might interest you if you are sold on a Hobbit though:

Quoted from Damonator:There are no NIB in US - the last container of games before bankruptcy went to Australia. There were 24 in that batch I think and all sold within a month or two.
There were 1 or 2 left in Australia when I asked a few days ago.
