This is joking around?
Quoted from Boof-Ed:This is joking around?
Sorry, the standard are brushed stainless and the mermaids are mirrored. My mistake was thinking standard was chrome.

Just got my Fathom Mermaid number :"#216", really looking foward to it.

Quoted from Pinchild:Is it July yet?
I want it NOW!
Don't expect them in July. I think a realistic time frame would be winter.
They begin in July. Just trying to temper expectations.
Edit: Allow me to clarify. Expect many months to pass before you may take your pinball machine. Many months past July. So Christmas time. If you're Jewish, then Hanukkah time. If you're agnostic, then santa time. I hope this clears up any confusion.
Quoted from punkin:July is smack bang in the middle of winter here. I think you mean late in the year?
So I was speaking to a fella in the northern hemisphere. For him, winter is december. My target audience knew what I meant.

I amended my post. You're absolutely right. Thank you.

I’m still offended
Quoted from nicoy3k:I’m still offended
... I'm possibly even triggered and outraged as well ! 
*at the concept of Xmas being in Winter!? Wtf? Lol
Just got confirmation e-mail that I’m #185 and holy hell am I stoked for this game. I just assumed a few weeks ago if I was going to find a Fathom it was going to be 6k with a roached playfield and all the gremlins that come with a 40 yr old game. I’m gonna go watch that reveal video for the 35th time

Woolgoolga really exists?!! Lol.
I thought you might be making that up.
Nice.
I can’t wait to see what they do to Fathom 2.0
But
I am even more super stoked for the CELTS as I love me some artistic originality.
This is why I love WNBJM and any other non themed game. To be surprised is sometimes lost in today’s world

Congrats. #85, here!

Looks like I'm way up the chain at #232. Guess I'll go back to sleep for a while till they get to it.

Game number and build number are different. Pretty sure Damian has stated that they will be shipped based on when the order came in.
Series ticket holders will get theirs first though.

#233, and you're just up the coast neighbour!

I would have thought, while true (like if you asked for number 44 but where actually customer 134), a number right down the line would be a reasonable indication of where you stand in the production line. Don't think they were just throwing other (non-requested) numbers out randomly.

Weren't you in early though? ... I rekon yours gets built before mine hey?
I'm 92, but I must have been later than the 200th ME sale. I bought in on the penultimate day.
I would guess the build order should align with the order of sales. Except the series buyers being first.
If someone was the 10th buyer and asked for #222, for example, then that would be opposite to my case.
I guess I just mean that perhaps receipt date (chronology order) would be the best indication of the order games might be built in.
My payment advice was 19th of May, 10pm ACST
The way it seemed to me from correspondence when my initial list of numbers were all unavailable, buyers whom requested no number were probably not allocated until after sales ended, and after all requests were reconciled. I did not get a list of remaining numbers, but did learn the highest and lowest numbers available at the time (54-244), so I sent another dozen picks and said I'd leave it up to them.
After all whom were requesting numbers actually had one, then I think the remaining build numbers would have been slotted to the unspecified# list of buyers. I have no idea how many that would be, but I guess they would be fairly well scattered through?
Quoted from oldskool1969:I think I was order 58 asked for #69 ( gone ) and settled on #181
But is that the 58th ME purchase? ... or 58th Store purchase?
I mean the important data is most likely what date for the store purchase?
I also asked that my game can be built after all the international games are shipped, I'll be saving ... and later doesn't fuss me really. I will be right near the end there somewhere.
Build order won't matter for North American games. They will all get shipped together in a container. IMHO expect near the end of the production run.

Thirteen left for purchase at NitroPinball.com -- https://nitropinball.com/collections/pinball-machines/products/fathom-mermaid-edition-preorder#
Quoted from razorsedge:I'd say there will be multiple containers...
I think I saw someone say it was 50 per container, about 1 months work. and containers would be shipped when full. Then you gotta wait 3 months (?) for the boat to get here.
Quoted from Jarson:Then you gotta wait 3 months (?) for the boat to get here.
Actual sailing time from Melbourne to LA is only 2 weeks assuming it’s direct. Then all the fluffing around at each end - probably another 2 weeks. I’d say 4-6 weeks worse case.

Yeah I was 27th April. That's when my order number was given (that's meant to not mean anything), which is #200. Guess a lot will depend on how many people jumped in and started requesting specific machine numbers and threw out the actual queue order in terms of production sequence. I personally had no interest in getting a specific number. Hopefully they don't go and default following the actual numbering sequence in production(would be pretty poor form) as by sound of it I'd have been fairly early in ordering.

Welcome to our normal world of buying new pins down here! One of the very few times the situation has been flipped. God forbid people in the US have to wait for a container to be packed from the factory then for the sea freight, then for port clearance and then road transport delivery instead of on a truck from the distributors(or you pick up in person) that got their allocation 5 days ago or less from the factory
Ah yes, first world problems arising again.
As long as we aren't deep-rooted I can wait, helps me save money for the next , being a ticket holder of the series.
