I just want one freight/shipping co to be a pinball owner. Then we get a company that gets the term, "Be careful" of my NIB !
Curious, did the backglass break?

Quoted from bobukcat:

Won't matter unless it's such a small company that every single handler, lift driver, etc. are also pinball owners / lovers. I've been in hundreds, if not thousands of Distribution Centers, Warehouses, cross-docks, container ports, etc. and have seen some crazy, crazy shit. I learned to keep my head on a swivel, to be alert at all times and never, ever trust that they can see you or know what they are doing.

Agreed. Ive been to two of my local stations to avoid that last truck to my house. Saw EM's on legs with broken heads and front legs pulled out. A 3 million dollar Siemens mri machine in pieces. Motor cycle on pallett, laying down cause they thought that was better. Why I avoid shipping at all costs.
I was nervous waiting all day for my Houdini, thankfully he escaped cleanly.

Game #99 will live in infamy.
Feel bad for buyer who had to refuse shipment.
Amazing either glass didnt break.

Quoted from GAP:

Claim has already been filed. Freight co needs to send over inspector. Game is at AP and they are looking over game to determine where to go from here. Its in good hands and no way will we send a game out that has one issue!

I cant speak for AP personally. But im pretty sure this game will not be fixed and sold. Fixed yes, but going back out, no way.
They have a couple demo games for testing, learning, and teaching. I see this becoming one of those to help develope future games. AP dedication to this title and company is second to none in the industry at this point. Im a huge JJP fan, but i keep seeing AP step it up a notch every step of the way. Pinside doesnt see a lot, but behind the scenes there commitment to a quality product is amazing.
