Condo on your wrist

If it's the pre-owners mailing list one mine arrived just over 3 hours ago. Was there supposed to be another? Don't use mailchimp, it's classed as a spam source by many antispam lists.
Didn't get mine either, checked the spam as well. I am however on my way to shooting bigger loads. I guess they have moved on from selling me a bigger penis.

Quoted from frolic:There are lots of email companies. Aweber is one of the biggest. Pay for a package, they're not going to add advertising.
Please don't CC, you're just sending out our emails to be harvested for spam.
I've not received anything yet. just checked my spam and trash.
Just use BCC, no need to use a service just to send out email updates, and no chance of email addresses getting harvested (no more than a normal email to a single person, at least).
Quoted from flashburn:Can someone at least post the email?
I would think that If Kevin wanted it posted it would have been.
This is a good time to point out that posting PMs and emails in general is not cool without permission.

Gimmie a break, it's an email to ~250 people on a mailing list about a pinball machine, it isn't a top secret classified document.
Just got the email twice. The timestamp on it is from yesterday at 11:49pm EST but it just came into my inbox at 4:10pm today. The internets must be slow coming out of MI..
It was just an email to touch base with the people that pre-ordered. I bet it was even a bit of a test for Kevin to see what the best way to do this would be. If you were told you are on the list you have a spot so there is no need to freak out.
Give Kevin and the team some time not only focus on building a great pin but getting the communication line ironed out. So far out of any pinball machine maker Skit-B has been the most up front and communicative with the community I think that should provide them a little slack here.
Quoted from SkitBPinball:I looked at Mail Chimp very briefly and it looks like a service that will plaster ads for itself all over what goes out. The best lesson in internet etiquette: The more a website wants you there, the less you want to be there.
Just an example. Obviously the more you pay for a service the better and more ad-free it will be.
But just stating that this is the likely cause of the dropped emails.
I was finally able to check and I did get the email twice. One around midnight and another around noon today.

Still haven't received one unless its this warning in my spam mail about vaginal mesh implants not being FDA approved, If I had to buy that for the wife I think I'd have bigger problems than not getting skit-b's email O_o
I didn't receive the email either and I deleted my spam folder earlier today before I saw this update so if it was in there it's gone now.
Ive received the email but went ahead and checked the spam and now Im all excited. Emma lives close by, viagra is dirt cheap thru a Canadian pharmacy and best of all....I have some money coming from Nigeria. When that check cashes I'm paying for everyones Predator. #184
Can we put whatever we want on our nameplate ?
Just thinking something like PREDATOR #172 for mine
Waiting by computer for next email with cash in hand !
The quotes and audio seem to be real great in this one so far. I knew it would for such a classic movie. I wish them the best and hope to play one someday if Arizona ever has a pinball festival.
Mine's gonna be "Knock Knock" (Arnie line when they raid the camp), don't no one go stealing it!

Got my second copy this evening too.
Tough call on the inscription. I guess just having my name is not very creative
It would be cool to add to the theme with the nameplate. A slight variation on Gambit's idea but maybe I'll go with: "Property of Major Alan "Dutch" Schaefer"
Or, a quote from the movie would be a great option too. How about: "There's something out there waiting for us, and it ain't no man!"
Quoted from flashburn:Ugh. DO NOT DO THIS! Please BCC everyone.
Yes...please keep everyone BCC'd . . . I don't need all these pinside guys having my email address!!! Ha!
Quoted from Silverballer:" I ain't got time to bleed"
Already taken, see above.. Nah it dont matter. Only so many catch phrases.
I love the part where they are all in the helicopter on their way to the jungle with "Long Tall Sally" blasting. It would be great if that song was somehow incorporated, although that's doubtful.
Quoted from sammiesguys:It would be great if that song was somehow incorporated
it is!

Kevin got to a mode at expo that had the song in it. It sounded pretty good.
Quoted from Jetzxi:Kevin got to a mode at expo that had the song in it. It sounded pretty good.
That part alone would be reason enough for me to upgrade the speakers, even if it already sounded good.

Early word was Michael Pupo from Flipper Fidelity was going to work on the sound system for the pin and there would be no need to upgrade. Not sure if that is still the plan though.
Quoted from ChadNC:Already taken, see above.. Nah it dont matter. Only so many catch phrases.
Lol my girls name is kate. Thought about "the other kate"
And long tall sally is definitely in. Havent you seen the videos?????!!!
Quoted from The_Dude_Abides:Early word was Michael Pupo from Flipper Fidelity was going to work on the sound system for the pin and there would be no need to upgrade. Not sure if that is still the plan though.
Michael was at the booth a few times at Expo, so I am sure it is still game on.

No action is required on your part. Delivery attempts will continue for
some time, and this warning may be repeated at intervals if the message
remains undelivered.
I guess that means it will keep attempting to send until it's done. I already hate this thing...
As much as it sucks, you may have to break your list up into lots of 25.
In saying that I got my email twice and I'm in Australia?!?
Quoted from shootar:As much as it sucks, you may have to break your list up into lots of 25.
That's kinda what I was thinking. That means some of you may be seeing the same email 3 times...
Well I got my email. Got a question Kevin, do you have any idea on the amount of characters we can add to the name plate?
Quoted from Kcpinballfan:Well I got my email. Got a question Kevin, do you have any idea on the amount of characters we can add to the name plate?
I was wondering the same thing.
