If there is enough interest they should
Ship directly to the West Coast
Run through my warehouse and save
On shipping and way faster
Any west coast pre orders?

The frustration of pre ordering something and then prolonged waiting for years is not for the faint of heart.
I was out after the first delays
And was refunded my deposit
It made me feel much better not to deal with the anxiety of the wait.
Ones Alien is build and available for immediate purchase,
THEN I will get my Alien !!
It's going to be great !!?

Damn Andrew
When do you start cranking out these machines !!?
We need some used ones in the market place.
Two years is enough waiting time to put anyone in a mental institution!
Hi Andrew
I was in on the beginning then out when I saw delays coming ( out in 6 months)
You have done great things and much hurdles to jump.
Now 2 years later I am glad to made it this far and almost there.
If you can fulfill preorders
You can count me in as soon a you have Aliens to spare.
It does not take a genius to figure out that Andrew needs a financial partner/infusion to continue.
If there are enough financial assets and sales nrs on the books he should be able to secure a short term loan or maybe investor.
Timing needs to be right , longer he waits to get financing, the more orders he will loose and upset everyone with orders in place and request refunds( no money there the refund anyway , all tight up)
Preordering games is high risk and always has been, like riding stock market. If you can't afford to loose that kind of money don't do it.
Andrew please show more clarity in your communication, all will be revealed answers will just infuriate people.
How many Aliens were ordered/sold?
From there people can do the math since we all know math, at least some of us
Hope you succeed mate!
Would it help to start a Gofundme
For Andrew ? Just thinking.
How much you need Andrew ?
Just put some gifts( swag) in return
Or spare parts for Alien;
No offense taken.
Just wandering to what extend in preordering with payments in advance for a year or more will warrant some reasonable information from a company that was Partially funded by this.
You can call each a shareholder.
Examples for recent promised games with money payed in advance all turned sour and sure lack of transparency.
I hope Andrew succeeds but this "hobby" and "funtime" sure turning
Dark.
Quoted from Rarehero:Robert - the drama and schenanigans of all the pinball "companies" over the past few years have DESTROYED the joy of buying new games. You've got the scams of Shit-B and Jpop, the attempted scam of Vonnie-D, the current uncertainty of DP (I'm sitting here with my finger up my butt waiting for my hostage Lebowski), Heighway's continual misleads and drama, Stern's greed/arrogance/perpetual code & QC issues, JJP's prices & Spooky's ...well, Spooky doesn't seem to do anything wrong, they just haven't made a game I like lol. Anyway - F all this S, seriously - the pinball world is run by maniac dreamers...I'm out for good. Hopefully something better will rise from their ashes. As I've stepped back, the ridiculousness of spending $7-$8k and waiting for years has become so clearly bonkers. I'm having so much more fun with my $300 Nintendo Switch and games that cost $10-$60 and are playable instantly with no drama. The "new Pinball game" is stupid as F.
Well said , well said !!
Been loving pinball forever and since I'm old it's been a long time.
But this shit is gone of the track.
Having more fun with my car collection, keeping it real !!
2 things :
1)Sorry to see Andrew leave since it was his baby(Heighway pinball)
2) now with the right management Alien will be a grand pinball in many locations in the future.
You gotta feel for Andrew
No matter the situation he sure tried and gave it all ( I think)
Best of luck guy!!

Quoted from Aurich:I appreciate all the concern, really, but I am following my heart. The money is nice, I'm gonna get whatever I can for it if I'm selling it, because I worked too damn hard to not make the effort, but I don't think people are really listening to me.
I don't want the game. I don't want to look at it. It doesn't make me feel good to own it. It's sitting in my garage right now, and all I'm thinking about is how the big ass box is in the way.
If you want to ease my heart make me a cash offer, I'll start a sale thread at some point too.
Sell the damn thing
No item is with the stress
Even the money from this sale will give you stress
Donate some of it too a good cause close to your heart and the feel good vibe will come and last
Better then this F...ed up machine and whole story line
