    I was in on the Kickstarter for this as well.
    It gave you different options/add ons.
    You could choose to have it coinop or not and it was a little bit extra to get coin mechs. I went ahead and went that route.
    They also offered some pretty neat looking Atari logo stools as one of the add ones. The Kickstarter was over a year ago, so I’m hoping they come out with this soon. Like a few other people mentioned, we plan on using this as a coffee table in the living room.
    I’m a big fan of Atari and have a quite sizable collection of Atari arcade games.

    Has anyone heard when the production models are supposed to come out?

    4 months later

    Quoted from BladeFury:

    Sweeeeet just got notice that I will be paying in full Monday to get it shipped!!

    Did they actually give you a confirmation on shipping date?
    I.E. after you pay, are they actually shipping you a game on Monday?

    Quoted from BladeFury:

    Ships tomorrow!

    Awesome man congrats.
    I was in on the original kickstarter, so I'm patiently waiting for mine.
    I guess they are selling them at the moment to make up the the lack of current funding and hopefully the backers get theres shipped at some point.
    Anyhow, I did get to play one at CAX and was not disappointed.
    Very cool machine.

    Quoted from northvibe:

    If it has/had a coin door, I’d be having my route buy one. Be a great gimmick game

    Quoted from gliebig:

    How much was the kickstarter deal?

    There was an option for coin operated in the original kickstarter.
    Not sure if they are having issues with that now.

    The lower level pledges sold out really quickly.
    The different pledge levels had different options etc.
    I wound up doing one with the Atari stools and coin op.
    Either way, still relatively cheap price compared to the retail ask.

    Heres a link to the original kickstarter that shows you the pledge levels and options.

    Quoted from 1iblind:

    I did the same. Coin op version with the stools. It will be the last one released due to "production planning and schedule". I'm OK with the wait though. We got a great deal since the retail coin op version will be even more expensive than the home edition and supposedly it will be stand up and not sit down. Kinda defeats the purpose of getting the stools but I have a cocktail arcade I can use them with.

    Oh, interesting.
    I hadn't heard that the commercial version is an upright.
    Are there pictures floating around of what it looks like?
    Same design only taller?

    I have a centipede cocktail at home, so I will probably use the stools for that as well.

    Quoted from 1iblind:

    I did some digging and found these. Looks like there will be 2 possibilities for the coin op version.

    Totally different than what I was expecting, but I can get behind that.

    Quoted from BladeFury:

    So apparently they were short handed and mine shipped officially yesterday!

    Awesome.
    Post some pics after you get it opened and set up.
