Got an email from Barry this morning. BoP 2.0 begins production Mat 1st!

Barry's email...

I am very happy to report we will soon begin the first production run of The Bride of Pinbot 2.0! We have finalized the license for the original Williams assets, and we are now integrating them (yes, including the entire original game) into the Bride 2.0 upgrade kit.

We have set a cutoff date for the first run of May 1. Any orders received and paid by that date will be shipped with this batch. Any orders received or paid after May 1 will be consolidated into a second batch, which will be produced once we receive enough orders.

Some of the parts may take up to 4 weeks for us to receive them, so we estimate that we will be able to complete and ship the entire first run by mid- to end-June.

I got this email from Barry a couple days ago...

First of all, I want to say sorry for the lack of communication the last few weeks.

I just wanted to give you an update your Bride of PinBot 2.0 upgrade kit.

It has been a quite complex process, bringing together components, talent and intellectual property from both sides of the Atlantic Ocean, but as you know, DP always wants to be in full compliance with all import and licensing requirements.

We have done things properly, and I’m happy to say that all the hardware, controllers, software and license decals are being shipped to Dutch Pinball USA in Chicago, where they will be assembled and shipped to you as soon as we can.

It’s been a very good experience for us, and the knowledge we’ve gained in import/export procedures will certainly help us to improve our processes in the future.

Lol!

Not much of a teaser... a speaker grill, and pics of an unpopulated and populated startup controller. I expected a little more at this point.

I agree!

At least there are two more 'production line' pics on Facebook. I'm looking forward to getting this mod. It would be nice to see some movement on a repo playfield!

Ditto...

Yeah! Where are they?

I second that!

There must be a story here. Did something happen?

I think heard CFTBL in the background!

What's the PF look like?

Ok, now when we finally get BoP 2.0 we can start bitching about the repo PF and updated BoP 2.0 software!

Me too... double Booo! On a brighter note, I have a new Doug Huse BoP cabinet on the way!

That's cool! I gotta get my BoP 2.0 installed!

How many still have their BoP 2.0 in the box awaiting installation?

Spill a few more beans!

You're gonna love it!

Nice! Just got the email and video.

I like the plug to "Order Now" at the end of the video. I hope this latest version will generate enough interest for a 3rd (or more) prodution runs.

Maybe after TBL, they can work on a Funhouse 2.0!!!

You came clean! Thanks for the honest appraisal. Hope DP sells a bunch of these!

I was on the fence, but heck, only $45. I just ordered a kit!

I've got a BoP 2.0 kit from batch one. I opened the box and gazed at all the goodies and promptly packed it away. Now I'm moving away and it will be 2-3 year before I install it.

Can I accomplish a stand-alone software update to the Mini-PC? What's the minimum I need; the Mini-PC, a mouse, keyboard, monitor? Does anyone have suggestions to pass along?

Love the BoP 2.0 cabinet decals. Count me in if you make them available!

Tough choice. I think I like the new one with the DP logo.

Can't wait to see what you do with the translite!

Send an email to Barry, I bet he has some extra batch 2 kits avaikable if you ask nicely. He'll probably ask for a wire transfer to complete the sale.

Now I want a set even more! Perfect!

This was probably asked before, but how many have bought BoP2.0 and still have it sitting on a shelf awaiting installation?

I see! Cab decals look great!

Does anyone have the new BoP 2.0 translight Mayuh was working on?

Guess I'm missing the boat. It wasn't a copy, seemed like original art. Does the copyright cover absolutely any/all variations of the original art?

So, you're saying I have to have a 1.16 on before I can install 1.19?

Not sure how many of us still have an uninstalled BoP 2.0 kit. I purchased from DP’s first batch. I live overseas and pinball is on hold until I return to the states in a couple years.

With all that’s going on with DP, I want to make sure the latest code is installed. I assume all I need is the P-ROC and mini PC from the kit? Maybe a mouse, keyboard and monitor too?

Can someone give me the BoP 2.0 ‘upgrade for dummy’s’ version to get the newest code in my uninstalled kit?

Nice work, fade looks great!

I need help. I have an uninstalled 1st run Bop 2.0 kit. I'm overseas and wont get it installed for awhile. I want to get all the updates installed. Can this be done without the kit being installed? I assume I need the Zotac, anything else I night need? I assume a mouse, keyboard and monitor are needed. Can I use any computer monitor or do I need the BoP 2.0 display?

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks

Jesder , you’re an inspiration! I have all the parts and pieces for a BoP 2.0 restoration. About the only difference is a Peter from Germany prototype PF. I’m also not sure if I’ll use a 2.0 translight or the 3D translight. I like your armour? Nice work. I’m jealous!

Exact same question for me.

I hope you get it corrected in quick order. It’s never any fun opening up a new toy just to discover it’s damaged.
