Elizabethtown, KY
Now that games are on the line and at least one game has shipped, it is time to have a club thread. Welcome to the Celts club Haggis game #1.
(Topic ID: 296384)
Gilligan's Island
Patiently waiting for mine. Plan is for this to be the only game I keep (been selling everything else off) since it is customized.
Quoted from Screwloose:Celts no.1 owner competing on Hard Quiz (series 3 ep. 19) for the Aussies who haven't seen it. Expert subject pinball.
Sorry, what are you talking about ?
Quoted from oldskool1969:Sorry, what are you talking about ?
The owner of Celts #1 serial number game, known as Dr.John, was a contestant on a TV show named Hard Quiz that airs on the ABC.
keen for my celts got the full custom edition with a few extras love the lightshow an look of it supper excited 
4 weeks later
I am still eager to see the promised game play stream by Dr John.
I watched Dr John go through the unboxing of game #1 and was excited to see the stream of the game a few days later.
Does anyone know if Dr John is still doing a stream or have I missed it?.
Not intended to be a swipe at Dr John or Haggis, Just eager to see some game play from an owner
I did see a stream on some format a while ago but has now gone.
I asked dr. John and he mentioned code polish was required but overall he liked it( without going into details)
I believe you won’t see too much as It is a very personalised machine to the owner.
I had correspondence saying it is in production 2 weeks ago so presume she is close, who knows.
They haven’t asked for any more monies just advised on how, where to ship and balance owing.
Video tour of factory and update posted to Facebook and YouTube today. Hopefully things will be moving forward soon. Dr. john’s gameplay video is still up in Twitch I think. He had some issues with the upper scoop coil strength. Hopefully they have added settings for that in the system. Game looks beautiful, though. I just hope code support continues despite the larger Fathom orders.

I know of two games that were delivered locally this week, so some are getting out there!

Quoted from Zukram:Got my notification a few weeks ago about it being in production. Hopefully not many more delays until it can ship.. Anyone had a more recent update ?
My game is boxed ready to pickup once the latest COVID lockdown ends. Sometime soon, I hope.
Quoted from Crile1:Got the email that my game is expected to ship end of this month. Estimated 55 days by sea.
Shipping takes 55 days? Wow…
How many Celts are being made?
I’m happy that the Celts buyers are getting their games - and I’m eager for Fathom production to begin!
Quoted from Zukram:Maybe longer with the customs backlogs at ports now weeks to months long..
Yikes “Fast delivery to anywhere in the world” is on the front page of their website. Waiting on a fathom and closely monitoring the Celts rollout

Congrats. I wish I would have ordered one.

Faster by air (like 5 days?) but twice the cost.

I think the shipping arrangements they had for Celts are unique to that game. I believe fathom is set up differently

Fathoms are going to be shipped by full container to US distributor then will have domestic shipping from there. That was an option for Celts, but added up to be the same amount but longer wait because need to wait for full container. Options were be sea freight to US + domestic vs sea to door vs air to door. I’ve waited this long, so will save $1,000+ that air to door would add and accept the 55 days.

The situation is exceptional right now.. Hopefully delays in ports clear up soon or eventually..
Quoted from Crile1:The quote Haggis gave me for air to door was 2x the sea to door quote.
Same for me, but that was a few weeks ago now, and my game should be soon to be built. But there are currently huge backlogs for shipping containers, and prices have very recently spiked for containers. I wonder if this will be reflected in the final quote I will receive when the game is built..
Quoted from oldskool1969:Something has arrived, unboxing this coming Monday with the Western Australian brains trust

Cool to have one in the states…especially Florida. I hope more come to Florida, hopefully in public venues. I’d love to play one.
Decided to go with the Purple color, I drive a Purple car so why not a purple pinball machine!!! Wow how can you go wrong with any of the colors? Very hard choice to make!! Wow was Kaneda rough on Haggis today!! But he did make a lot of valid points!! Something in my gut says Damion will do what he says!! Love Australia !!! Especially Kangaroos!!_
kaneda Did you reach out and ask them directly?
I knew this before taking the ride, nothing ventured, nothing gained.

Played this game yesterday. They should be very proud of what they acheived.
Game has an outstanding feel of quality, everything from the sculpts to the siderails are exceptionally beautiful.
The gameplay is fantastic, only had a couple of games and didn't bother figuring out too many rules, but it plays beautifully and there is always a goal to choose.
Makes me very keen indeed for my Mermaid to come if the quality is anywhere near this level. Feels better than my Houdini which is probably my best 'quality feel' game.
Well fucking done Damian and team, you have smashed your first game like no other company i know.
Quoted from punkin:Going to see if i can still order 1.
you can I believe.
Quoted from oldskool1969:you can I believe.
What type of scores are you posting mate? What's an average game and what's a good one?
Waiting for a response from Haggis about time frames for a Celts.
FEDEX sucks. Two delays and now it is sitting for the whole weekend 3 hours away. Been there since noon and customer service and tracker all said delivery today. When it was getting late I called and they said “maybe Monday. No deliveries on Saturday.” That’s what I get for paying more for air freight. Should’ve taken the boat.
Added over 2 years ago:Sorry for the rant.
