Try 1up and 2up in Denver. Also Pinball Jones in Ft. Collins - a little bit of a drive, but SO worth it.

Lonnie was supposed to show them the Starfield projector, but activated the Transporter instead. Now no one knows where the projector is ...

That ... that's a joke, son. A joke I say.

Please tell me you know who Foghorn Leghorn is .....

You did well except for the question marks ...

I'm sure Stern isn't losing a penny if these are being sold at MSRP, no matter what country the sale is in.

You realize that is because the projector isn't one of features on the Pro, right? Only on the LE and the Premium.

Why is everyone so impatient? What difference does a couple weeks make?

I've got an LE on the way and the delay doesn't bother me at all.

So you are privvy to Stern's production schedule for Star Trek? Mind posting it here? I'd like to understand just how bad this is.

The bitching and moaning about ship dates/delays here is getting silly. When a game is READY to be produced and shipped, it will be. No benefit to Stern or anyone to do otherwise. Nobody's life is going to be significantly impacted if a GAME (aka fancy toy) is going to arrive a few weeks later than some artificial ship date a Pinsider dreamed up based on third hand info and speculation.

Still haven't seen your evidence that the delivery dates were known (and therefore "missed"). And making pinball machines is not like making blue jeans for K-Mart's back-to-school sale.

Add all the other things that bother you (none of which apparently mattered when you placed an order for an eight thousand dollar toy) and you have vaulted on to the "Top Ten Pinside Hypocrites" list. Good job!

Of course making pinball machines is as easy as making blue jeans. That's why there are so many pinball manufactures in business these days.

You obviously don't understand. Just like you don't know what Stern's production schedule is.

If someone from Stern had said "thanks for your order - your machine will be delivered on <date>" and then they didn't, I'd agree with you for being upset. But that's not how it works.

Would you be happy with a product that was a piece of crap or didn't meet your expectations, but was delivered "on time"? Of course not. As far as Star Trek being "on time" the only schedule I've seen (since you don't seem to want to share the one you have) says "Winter 2013", so as far as I know deliveries are still on time.

Bummer. Just sold mine. Perfect playfield too - no wear. Just sat in my basement for 15 years ... And my wife said the widebodys had to go. So a beautiful HH went with it ...

Gary lives in a small apartment. Maybe Stern (the company) keeps #1 for each LE, but I doubt Gary does.
