Up to #51 had shipped to the US, but some other numbers have gone to European customers.
Quoted from Billman:The Big Lebowski is an unwatchable movie, I find this train wreck far more entertaining.
It takes 2-3 watchings and an open mind. Lots of fun there if you can relax enough to get into the groove. A strict drug regimen helps.

I loved it to death the first time I saw it. Recommended it to someone who said he and his girlfriend hated it...after all why wasn't there a climactic bowling match at the end?!
It's not for everybody.

There's one down the street from you, lemme know if you want to check it out.
Bump, GLWS.

My wife watched it with me for the first time years ago and hated it. I convinced her to watch it again recently and she laughed her ass off.
I loved it from the first viewing. I loved it from the first minute.

I laughed my ass off going thru this thread!

I have watched the first 30 minutes of this movie at least a dozen times!!!! Only problem is I fall asleep!!! Wonder why...... hummm..
Quoted from gtxjoe:If I bought this and DP never delivered, I would expect DP to refund my money
You have high expectations that might get disappointed.

Quoted from Concretehardt:I texted Paul and I think my exact words were "I think I'm screwed" Paul immediately called me we talked for a bit about the situation and Paul told me that given the new info and that he hadn't transferred the game into my name yet that he was sending me my funds back.
Paul, Your A Good Egg!

If I had to guess, I'd say you're trying to keep up with the Dude's White Russian and MJ consumption while watching the film. But he's a seasoned professional, while you're a f#@king amateur.

Did you recommend Kingpin?

LOL! 100%!!! Except hold the milk on my White Russian!
I keep waiting for OP to chime in with "don't say peep while I'm doing business here, man." What an opportunity!

Good one, missed opportunity.
Quoted from sd_tom:There's one down the street from you, lemme know if you want to check it out.
Bump, GLWS.
Would love to check it out sometime. How do you like it so far?
Quoted from extraballingtmc:How many plays does it have?
This is why Pinside is the way it is Robin....why do you let this go on...it's like the trolls control this place now...........Joey

Did you report the offending post? Otherwise there's no way to know whether the moderators have even seen it.

The "offending" post? The one about how many plays it has? Give me a break, you can't have a little fun on the forum side of or sale threads? It's a free bump, no harm done

I guess what offends some people others might find as humorous.
I find some people's definition of a troll to be humorous too.

Yeah, I said "offending post" -- Breaking_Dad was clearly offended by the post, and was blaming Robin for it. I merely pointed out that if he didn't report the post to the mods, he shouldn't assume that they saw it.
Quoted from o-din:I guess what offends some people others might find as humorous.
Can't argue with you there.
Quoted from extraballingtmc:How many plays does it have?
This was a bit more entertaining than "bump"
I'm offended by people lacking a sense of humor
Since we're buying a spot in line and no pictures exist of the actual game in question, why did OP even create a discussion thread?
Oh... he wanted EXPOSURE!
We want.... entertainment!
Jokes bump the thread and accomplish both goals. Everyone wins!
I think there may be a few too many holier than thou troll hunters on this website calling out too many people as trolls when all they are trying to do is crack a joke.
In all honesty as someone that has not been very close to all the details. Is it a bad idea to take someone else's spot at this point? Is it really 50/50?
Quoted from mtdouble:Is it a bad idea to take someone else's spot at this point?
I am of the opinion it is a bad idea to spend money on anything that doesn't exist yet. Period.

Hypocrite - I read your post about preordering that burrito.
Quoted from fosaisu:I read your post about preordering that burrito.
Yes, but I could see all the ingredients were there and smell that delicious carnitas from across the parking lot. And it was wrapped up and ready before I gave them a dime.
Just because I pre-ordered doesn't mean I pre-paid. Upstart pinball companies and pinball buyers themselves could learn a lot by eating at a fine Mexican dining establishment more often.

Now you're making me hungry!
Honestly, I usually do pay before it's done. That way I can get right down to eating it.
But with those delicious chips and salsa they have on the counter top to eat for free while I wait, I'd rather get the handling of money out of the way anyway.
Quoted from mtdouble:About 60 exist right?
Around 60 delivered, and 40 more "ready" to ship.
Quoted from fosaisu:Yeah, I said "offending post" -- Breaking_Dad was clearly offended by the post, and was blaming Robin for it. I merely pointed out that if he didn't report the post to the mods, he shouldn't assume that they saw it.
Can't argue with you there.
And I agree with both of you -- wasn't digging at your use of "offending post", just the idea posed before you that the post was offending in the first place. I guess some would prefer sterile for sale ad forum threads.. sure price policing gets s little out of hand but overall I think it is a fair feedback system for buyer and seller.
Quoted from Concretehardt:Guys I feel like I need to chime in here as this FS thread has gone a bit off the rails. I said above that the OP (Paul) was solid, given what's happened here I think I should talk about my dealings with him. I was the original buyer for this game, Paul and I talked many times and finally came to an agreement. I mailed Paul certified funds for his TBL last Wednessday (the night before we got the emails from DP) I woke up the next morning to the DP/ARA emails, I texted Paul and I think my exact words were "I think I'm screwed" Paul immediately called me we talked for a bit about the situation and Paul told me that given the new info and that he hadn't transferred the game into my name yet that he was sending me my funds back. I have spent hours talking to Paul about pinball and just about everything else and I can say that he is a stand up guy whom I trust and value as a member of this community. I am sorry this thread went sideways and don't blame anyone as something is always lost in translation between typed words and actually talking to someone on the phone or in person.
On a side note I do think these game will get built and that this is a speed bump along the way as was Philgate.
Paul if there is such a thing as good pinball karma you have earned some in my book.
Thanks
Sean/Concretehardt
What a great story! Thanks for sharing, Paul sounds like a great dude! I hope everything works out for all parties involved.

So, if you get a terminal illness with no cure you wouldn't pop to be cryonically preserved?
Not sure how that popped into my head. Maybe because I played Demo Man today.
Quoted from extraballingtmc:How many plays does it have?
Ha ha ha...eat a clown lastly?

This ^^^
Also yeah it's a discussion thread, op could have simply not allowed it to be. Instead he gets free bumps all day and as they say-any press is good press.
Quoted from cdnpinballer:LOL! 100%!!! Except hold the milk on my White Russian!
I substitute Baileys. So delicious. Dangerous though unless you're a professional like The Dude and me.
Quoted from NJGecko:Wasn't there a for sale post in this thread somewhere? Like the first one?
Lol, has kind of veered away from that. You get any offers op? Another bump
Hey OP, just a heads up that you didn't update the first post when you adjusted the price (it now says $9k one place and $10k the other).

Amended and thanks for pointing it out, I forgot about it.
