Expensive but here is the assembly complete that I saw one day browsing.

Buy it now!

Is that with the pinside disCOuNt they offer?

Wow for $350 I'll sell you a tiny dancer and the tube...

Oh I didn't know that...like I said I just saw it on the internet and thought I would pass the info along. Hmm PM them here?

I know...nothings cheap when it comes to BBB LOL.

If you need it buy it i dont think they pop up to often.

If you're patient I'm sure you'll find one. They sold extras to the original owners when they picked up their games so folks do definitely have some stashed away. I've seen a couple come up FS in the last couple of years but I can't recall if it was here or not. I have a perma-search on eBay that emails me when new BBB stuff comes up, so it could have been there.

I recall Gene, Gene the bankrupt machine selling the dancers for $75.00 and the tube was another $75.00 Even that was highway robbery.

it also includes the tube, you know. To be more precise a tube with the correct top and bottom pieces. Tubes aren't much easier to find. So you have a combined rare tube dancer and a rare tube for sale. Could be worse. Maybe you can buy it, and then create your own fs - BBB NOS Tube for $175 ad. I'm sure we'll be talking about you but it might balance your outlay better.

ps - I have one of the exact same set, and I wouldn't sell mine that cheaply. (but, then again I'm kinda insane)

Especially since his had a mold made from a BBB dancer, and were a little smaller.

LTG : )

Everybody loves a good tube dancer, right?

You might want to request pic showing rectum of your new doll to see if it has been penetrated. The tube dancer slides onto a pole, so if she was ever used, or ridden hard and put away wet or something, she would have a hole in her hole area. Extra's that shipped were "unbroken" - insert your favorite analogy here - so if this were indeed new ... everything would be 'intact'.

ps - you do not get to inspect mine further and respect that a gentlemen never tells about his own dancer

What about a 'blonde, non-alien' version? Gene told me he made a small batch of them in the likeness of his Mrs, I think her name is Georgina. Since this is a PG rated thread, I won't repeat Gene's exact assertion regarding the fact that some certain part of the model was proportioned similar to his wife.

"Need dancer for my lap"

Here's mine, a gift from Gene and Georgie. I took some pictures for someone on Pinside about a year ago so they could make duplicates. I never heard if they did or not but if you search Tube Dancer on Pinside you'll find the thread. You could contact them from there hopefully. Sorry, mine is not for sale.

What was the story on the blonde ones?
I heard a silly number of 10 (or less) ever being produced,
I do have extra blode and green spare tube dancers from Gene but I feel I'd be stuck in this position if mine ever went out
I believe a month back a green and a blonde made its way to eBay and went for silly money along with a few other BBB parts
Pretty much anything exclusive to this title commands a premium and is hard to find,
Me like other collectors have been buying up anything that comes to the market weather need it or not,

If nobody's parting with them now be patient, possibly another listed on eBay out look out for BBB machine sale on the forums (they seem to come in droves lol, never just one)
PM the sellers quickly and see if that had any parts to go along with the machine,
I managed to score a bounty of parts just opening my month to the seller

since this I managed to secure more BBB parts, (tubes ramps etc)
Just keep on asking realy, is such a small BBB owner community but one guy might have laying around

I hear ya loud and clear on the flipper parts thing. Coil stops are (correcting myself here) available from Marco, which is good news. I did just had a link break on BBB last week, and figured out that Gene just used standard WMS parts for them. I say that because I have what are supposed to be a few OEM Capcom samples and I'd say that the plungers are 1/16" shorter than the standard off the shelf parts. I did a comparison of all the brands Pinballlife sold years ago and found the Capcom ones from my AB were a tad different, I believe that was the length that set them apart. Apparently in BBB it isn't making a difference so that's good to know.

Myself, I'm on the lookout for side art. back in 2010 I stopped by IPB and Kim had some I could have bought but the price scared me away. That was foolish, now that I think about it. The other potentially wear-prone item would be the stickers they put on the drop targets. I missed any chance of getting an extra set of those as well. Sigh.

Good luck with the search.

Plunger links are slightly larger too guys, and the grey plastic is a different shape to standard WMS games
I had one of the plastic links snap on my BBB and tore my head out searching for one,
Then whilst looking for parts for my MM I stumbled along this, I'm not sure if this is an error from Marco, I looked at my MM (WMS not MMr) and the flipper plungers were the same length as all my other WMS games,
For the heck of it I tried one of these and it made no difference,

But they are listed as MM replacements and also work on pinball magic (thus also work on BBB)
So I ordered a few and sure enough identical to the ones in my BBB so I got a few extra as spare

Oh and just to add, I emailed GAP last year about buying those very decals plus a few other parts he has listed on his site and he told me all he has left is the power driver board and everything else is sold

That was last October

You're right. I almost mentioned that on my Breakshot we swapped the coil stop for a DE and used washers to boost it up. And that's fine, because the outside two mounting holes use wood screws and can't be tightened up too much anyways. All the strength that holds the coil stop in place comes from the inner two mounting holes which thread into the base plate of the flipper assy, if I'm not mistaken.

Stripper for Bed Bath and Beyond?

Couldn't someone make these on a 3D printer ?

They are not solid models
they feel kinda gummy and more freely

I doubt I'd ever sell nine, or even the blonde model, its not about the money its about fear of me needing being a the same situation
But I am looking or a few BBB parts might you might have to trade

Currently looking for
4 wire forms (2 green 2 purple and purple apron wire)
Spare set of the 3 Big Bang and Bar flipper top decals
Pretty much any promo wear from launch day, Shirts caps etc
Basically if its got BBB on it I want it

pm sent of one
