Pinball Brothers, 2020Quoted from paulbaptiste:So those of us that are paid up are still waiting for a final shipping bill correct?
yes and once the large pallet arrives we will know the average price across the USA and cant start shipping them from top down.
Quoted from Royale-W-Cheese:yes and once the large pallet arrives we will know the average price across the USA and cant start shipping them from top down.
Have you ever thought of shipping from the bottom up just to switch things around? Think of what a trip that would be!
My game comes Wednesday. So psyched!

A pox on you and your family.

Tracker mod is sitting at the post office as nobody was home to accept 
but I will jog my way there tomorrow and now the biggest news of all that the mod of the year is coming around the turn Good times on the horizon .

Since we started the project a lot of things have changed pricing wise. We did have every intention of including shipping but as you are aware everything has increased in price. We are sorry but we hope that you all can understand the situation. Thank you
Quoted from Red_Devils:Since we started the project a lot of things have changed pricing wise. We did have every intention of including shipping but as you are aware everything has increased in price. We are sorry but we hope that you all can understand the situation. Thank you
Everything has gone up but we have kept the price the same. The 5 mistakes that were made ( not by us) on wiring , harnesses and parts costs us the money to ship. We had to have it .
Almost at the finish line.
!!!!!!UPDATE!!!!!!
I have sent emails out to the buyers in Europe requesting final payment as the aprons are ready to ship.
I have received the first small batch of aprons and I have contacted the first few buyers from the USA who were at the top of the list and let them know the details for final payment as we are ready to ship those
Some of you guys will have these aprons really soon 
Someone needs to figure out the next big mod for Alien please.... when i have this installed i am going to need another thread to hover over for a year

I see what you are doing. LOL
The next mod will not take a year.

Nah.. im not teasing.. i have become accustomed to checking this thread looking for morsels of information, videos, etc. Excited it will arrive soon enough then i realzed that this thread will slow substantially.. Need the next thing to look forward too. BTW.. any hints on the next one? MM Apron?
No hints yet...we really want to deliver round one with 100% and then we can breathe a little and move onto Project 2, 3 and 4. LOL
Quoted from Royale-W-Cheese:move onto Project 2, 3 and 4. LOL
ohhh? do tell
Hey guys,
- Payment options to settle up so I’m not scrambling when i get contacted? (Don’t need the specifics, but the options of payment would be cool)
- rough timeline of groupings? How many in 1st batch? I’m #60-something on the list, when might that magical email appear?
Sorry, the project manager in me has kicked in…

So the payment options at the moment are paypal Friends & Family or more preferable Zelle. I don't want to be asking you guys for final payments until we can give you a definitive shipping time frame to you.
The first small batch will be shipping this week to buyers.
The next batch will be around 50 on a pallet it will be shipped hopefully by the end of this month and depending on costs either by air or sea will obviously determine the shipping time. If by air I'd say 2-3 weeks to get here, if by sea anybody's guess, y'all have been tracking the PB shipments right? 
Right after that or the same time will be a second pallet with the balance.
We tried to see if they would all fit on one pallet but it's just too much
You will see buyers have them on their machines real soon guys. It is definitely worth the wait, the effect is astounding and once you have it installed you will be blown away with the integration with the game, I know I'm biased but you will see.

Red_Devils I was post # 799 asking for a spot.
Others after me got a spot. I was missed.
Any room?
Quoted from ThePinballCo-op:Others after me got a spot. I was missed
I see where you messaged in the thread, but the only way to get a spot was to put down a deposit. It was posted multiple time by Royale-W-Cheese to PM him and he would give you directions on how to place your deposit. That's why others were able to get one, they put money down.
The first batch is all sold out but we are taking names for the second run which we do do by the end of the year. Thanks

Well done! I was following up on an order and asking if there was anything in the works for Alien.

Are you talking about the airlock? It already has a protector. If it's anything like MB, it just takes abuse and won't stay pretty forever.
Just got done installing the apron and beacons.
I want to say thanks to the team that made it happen, incredible and deserves mod of the year at twipys.
It is a work of art, both in engineering and quality of execution. Ease of installation and fit and finish.
I will post a video up later tonight hopefully when company comes and it gets a little darker.
NOBODY will be disappointed with their purchase.

Those are the beacons that came with the apron I assume? I like the looks better than the small ones that come on the LV.
Sorry, youtube won't let me change my phone number to post a video. Someone see if they can get to this.

Good job installing, it looks great

Yes, Becons incuded. There is an apron only option though.
Everything is plug and play, no splicing at all. Great quality.
