Quoted from Damonator:A DIY approach where they just sent us parts of a game as they were available would be kind of fun (for some of us):
February - backglass
March - cabinet
April - populated PF
May - boards
June - topper
(Not advocating for this - just saying it would be enjoyable for me personally)
I heard Spooky pinball was doing this with the Halloween pinball. They didn't get some of the parts in time so they made the machines without them, shipped the machine to the customer, then when the parts came in they shipped those to the customer.
