Quoted from lordloss:Can you guys build all the machines and stick the transformer in last?
I doubt any company has room for a thousand games standing around. Once they start on the line they keep flowing right to shipping past the other end.
Same with the cabinets, they will be going into the factory to keep things rolling.

Quoted from PPS:and why would you think not. it is early sept. yes, we are still shooting for Oct ship date.
Excellent!
Quoted from DCfoodfreak:Dude! Read one page back.
Don't know how I missed it and found it weird it hadn't been posted. :-/ Oh well.
Wow that's the way to write an update. He listed issues and a couple of obstacles and then recent progress. Reconfirmed his forecast of production start. Rick seems to be very self aware and organized. Might have to consider getting a MMr after playing one.
Just so you guys know, the Roger Sharpe video is up!

It's awesome.

This video is unbelievable to have an expert like Roger Sharpe being so excited about this project and the quality game that Rick and Doug and everyone else put into this is amazing to see him smiling while playing this game is priceless can't wait to inbox mine it will be the last pin to add to my collection and the best one!

Seriously? Like celebrities in car ads or Jennie Garth raving about the latest Keurig coffee maker? they are being paid to show excitement and say their lines.
Roger is a great guy. However, once Scientific Games bought WMS and eliminated his position, he can only be showing excitement and happiness when offered a contract gig.
I will also add that in the event he was not compensated in any way for the CGC/PPS video, I stand corrected. Roger is an A#1 person.
My buddy received an email from Wayne and it claims the game will ship at the end October. It's only been seven years for him. 
Quoted from MrBally:he can only be showing excitement and happiness when offered a contract gig.
Probably a combination of both. A paying gig, combined with Roger being involved with pinball again. Anyone would be excited. I hold no ill will for him being a paid spokesman. He's earned his stature in our community.

You can stand corrected 
Even post WMS my dad has been interested in continuing to be involved in anything-pinball the same way he has been since the 70's before he got a job within the industry. He's no longer needed for approvals for the Farsight Pinball Arcade releases, but continues to play the beta test builds and provide feedback because he loves seeing anything pinball be shown in the best light.

As I said, your Dad is a great guy.

nepotism rears its ugly head again in the job market 
You're out of your mind and out of touch.

Quoted from calvin12:nepotism rears its ugly head again in the job market
I'm a huge fan . . . nepotism is the reason I have my job right now (although Eugene will tell me nepotism is the reason I got the INTERVIEW for the job . . . the rest was all me).
Quoted from jalpert:You're out of your mind and out of touch.
Sure, whatever you say.
Quoted from MrBally:he can only be showing excitement and happiness when offered a contract gig.
I'm really wearing out the ignore feature lately.
Saying Roger Sharpe is a great man, but he can only be excited about money is a real nice compliment.
You have been added to my ignore list.
I've worked with Roger directly and indirectly and he is a great guy. That is most likely an understatement. He helped Don and I with Nucore when neither he or WMS would profit from it.
Quoted from o-din:My dad only gave me a nickel.
My Dad, TOOK my nickel!

Any update on the test games and their locations? Some video would be awesome from someone in the Chicago area.

I can think of one great test location that will be coming available in about month. Lots of pinball enthusiasts will already be there...
Rick's silence says MMr won't be at Expo this year which is a bummer if it's true.

Given Rick's history of selective question answering, I don't think this is the case at all. Why wouldn't PPS want MMR at Expo? I'll bet we see MMR at Expo.
Quoted from viper001:Rick's silence says MMr won't be at Expo this year which is a bummer if it's true.
Considering it requires no long distance logistics issues, I would have to believe it will be there. Otherwise, what's the purpose of Expo if not to show off the latest production games?
Nah, I just want to see some video of this damn thing. After all this time and hype and everything, we still don't have good solid video

Quoted from Pimp77:You mean mustard!
Mustard for me too!
Quoted from Hitch9:Mustard for me too!
I now have a craving for a hot dog (don't judge me)
Quoted from Pimp77:You mean mustard!
I haven't seen te game in person yet. I still hope it is more "goldish" than mustard. At this moment i just hope it will ship so i can get mine before christmas. I've had to sell some expensive games just to finance this one. And my basement is starting to feel empty
Quoted from Dirk:I haven't seen the game in person yet. I still hope it is more "goldish" than mustard.
If anything, it's more mustard than mustard. 
And yes, I've seen it.
Quoted from Dirk:Which one is closest

That AFAE30 actually looks really close to what I remember.

The lighting in this picture is not the greatest, and changes the trim color a bit but hopefully gives an idea
