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 ?

Maybe longer with the customs backlogs at ports now weeks to months long..

The situation is exceptional right now.. Hopefully delays in ports clear up soon or eventually..

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..

Interesting, is it a local delay ? Ive had several games arrive by Fedex and usually pretty quick..
Celts will be the next, possibly shipping this week even..

I got an email last week that they worked out DHL option and could now do to residence delivery. One thing that I needed to do was make sure I was listed with customs with a valid importer form 5106. Found a way to set this up for free using https://www.eezyimport.com/ (there are several other online brokers that can do this for you too, as opposed to filing a paper form) ..

If the last ETA is still on target, I should be getting a delivery notice very soon, was estimated it would ship this week even.

Paid final invoice over a week ago, a couple days ago got the DHL tracking info, and have probably doubled the page hit counter for the tracking site! If all goes to plan, next Wednesday will be a good day! Note to anyone else using this method, even though I submitted the customs form a while ago, DHL sent me a notification to fill out a customs form that they host. Essentially the exact info that Haggis had me submit. Just watch for that to avoid any delays I guess..

Ooooh...

Your DHL Express shipment with waybill number XXXXXXXXXX from HAGGIS PINBALL is scheduled for delivery TODAY by End of Day.

And it made it... Letting it warm up from the cold, well and finish work, to get it into the lineup!

You do not need any specific shipping info for this, all you need is to tell customs who you are, so when they see any import for your name / address they have you in their system is all.

When I first got notice that it was going to be ready (a few months ago). Damian mentioned that they were not a US importer or similar, so I would need to register using CBP form 5106 and specify I was an individual importer.

At first it sounded ominous.. But after i looked over the form and read a couple things online.. Realized all I needed was to fill out only a small part of this form, and fill it out as an individual. So basically just my name, address, and use your social security number. I also found several online import brokers, who would file the form electronically for me. And walked me through the form. It was super easy.

So you have choices:

* Look for the form on the us customs site, fill it in, and mail it back to customs.
* Use one of the online brokers (eezyimport.com is what i used)

Now also just before shipping, Damian/Angela asked I send them the PDF so they can include it with the shipment.
Then ALSO, DHL had me fill out the form for them online..

Anyways, good luck getting that done, and im sure you will love the game once it arrives..

Regarding the lock down bar.. Inspected mine, and should note that it is not just the sides made of that material. It appear the entire outer layer of the bar is that material (fiberglass maybe).. then that is bonded to the metal that locks it into place.. Hopefully it is not brittle throughout, but can see why it would chip on the edges like this when handling it..

A few pics.. Really like the build quality. Wiring looks neat and tidy. And grurple color is fantastic. And nice touches with the engraved Plexi inside the unit..

Dimensions all about the same as a new Stern. Besides maybe the head width is 27". Felt about the same weight..

I dont think it has invisiglass, and maybe it would not make sense because of the clear playfield material. I did notice some glare off of that when taking pictures. But during play I did not notice glare issues, I also keep that room's overhead lights off.

Not really sure about rules / code being considered complete. Will need to get a bunch more games on this, and maybe get a group from league over soon to dissect that part. The games I have put on it so far, the modes Ive played seemed to work. Have gotten a number of multiballs qualified, and maybe ill eventually read the rule card to find out why I sort of like playing a game for a bit w/o reading up on any of the rules to see if I can work them out myself a bit..

I had some email back and forth a day ago regarding Fathom. Hopefully you will just receive tracking from a freight company, when mine shipped recently was radio silence for a bit then saw a message that it was on its way from dhl express..

Is it made of the same material ? Or is it all metal now ?

Have you checked the flipper mechanism under the playfield ? Make sure the return spring is attached and not disconnected, and also not stretched, also with the power off move the flippers by hand do the move both ways freely .

Did flipper die, or did the glue that holds the post to the bat disentegrate ? All three flippers on my Celts at some point, needed the flipper bats replaced because of this..
