It's insurance http://www.advantage1auto.com/ . And not getting robbed lol.
I will for sure take lots of pics and video whole thing. Anyone who makes it will be in the vid for posterity! I wish there were more pinsiders around here. Or even just pinheads. Pinball desert!
Quoted from raddroxx:No. I know of a NIB BBB that will NEVER see the light of day.
Where?? What #? Owner prolly wishes to remain anonymous. Well, there ya have it. The last unboxing for play, this could be it.
Quoted from The_Gorilla:I wish I was free on the 9th.
Come down anytime. You my friend are really not that far. Could totally leave in the morning be here lunch.
Quoted from ovfdfireman:I need to burn some airline miles.....need help? I can bring beer or scotch
Beer! Of course I need help! People who will aprreciate it should be here. XNA is 9 minutes from my front door. Wal Mart's airport.
soooo, they are here!!!! WOOOOHOOOOO!!!!!!! i may mess meself...
When to open? I have the camera gear ready. CV gets PLAYED today, but I have major business meeting Thursday and that is clouding the fun part of my brain. I want that done so my joy can flow without apprehension.
Still on track to open Saturday if anyone wants to come. If no one can make it to the boonies of Arkansas I might do it Friday. Either way, I will try to add dancing girls to the vid.
Just noticed your poor scrolls for CV.
It took me a few days to put mine on after getting them
Definiteley putting those on. 
How do you like BBB so far?
It is fast, the modes are fun, looks like it has factory LEDs but it does not. PF is incredible, really shines. The tube dancer effect is better in person than on VPin as is the lighted ramp. I seem to need a bounce to hit the cosmic dartz consistently and that type of bounce shot into the corner is my favorite in pinball. Similar to the creature shot on MB but other side. Plunging the ball in multiball is so frikkin cool!!! I thought it would be a pain and was ready to ding it for that, but it adds to the frenzy.
It sits in between CV and RBION. A Lawlor and a JPop. Roadshow is up there also, imho one of lawlor's best. So it has MAJOR competition for game play. My wife has declared CV to be her favorite pin of all time already. Is it as good as CV? Wellll...I mean...yes and no. From my collector's standpoint it is better. But playing them all...for me to pick a top dog for enjoyment...YES, it is as good as CV. When you are playing you know it is rare and unique and that creeps into your mind whilst playing adding to the enjoyment. The theme is not approached by any of the pins I have adding again to the "play me" factor. The sounds and callouts are totally unique to me, having not played any other capcoms. Cabinet art? Oh yeah. I'll just say it...I would be curious about this myself...It WAS worth it...I stepped back in time for almost a whole day. My very first NIB pin was BBB #6. That will never change. I so wish there had been a room full of pinheads drinking beer and playing pins into the wee hours to share it with. Next time...
The CV I got from Pat Choy. I think he hid some surprises for me! It has the color changing shooter handle, hole protector around ringmaster, and it sounds better than all of the other pins, more bass. I suspect a speaker upgrade. All of those things are a surprise. The manual has never been opened, well I opened it. CV has always been my personal favorite and this example is truly HUO.
This is the only place to share stuff like this. Imagine if I had posted this on RGP...the hate. Pinside is like having a room full of friends on call waiting 24/7! Did y'all see LT help me last night?? He was johnny on the spot for sure, what a trip to be able to have someone like LT help you set up your first NIB, I mean to me he is a legend.
What the hell am I doing posting on a forum? CYA...<<<going to beat 140mill this morning for sure!
ps-The plaque for BBB says "The Tsubota Arcade"...wonder what their story is...might need new plaque.
Quoted from BMore-Pinball:Doesn't anybody in your family ever stand when playing pins
Me! Wife and children only on the stools.
It was an exercise room.
Quoted from CrazyFliprFingrs:Thanks again for sharing
Just wish there were pinsiders around here. I am just saying, opening that big boy with about 10 pinheads, beer and tequila, some tunes, now that would have made it even better. We could have stumbled to my tee and attempted to hit some balls at midnight!
