Yeah, you should get an email only. And then out of nowhere a call from the freight company to set up delivery time.

Quoted from WeirPinball:Same here - what was your PO number that is shipping? Mine is 093133
Looks like I'm 8 spots behind you.
Quoted from joetechbob:Melissa just responded via email and said mine is going out today!
It would be nice if we received some notification that was consistent that way we could plan our delivery and be available at that time.
Quoted from WeirPinball:Same here - what was your PO number that is shipping? Mine is 093133
Good question! Mine is 093115
We'll see what happens. I don't want to deluge Melissa with e-mails so hopefully we'll get some type of notification.

Yeah I'm sure they are busy, but at the same time it would be nice to know haha.
No notification here yet. My original deposit was made on 8/24. Not sure if will be on this shipment on the next.
Quoted from joetechbob:Not sure where I am in line, but I was a Dec. 20 deposit w/ payment in full mid Sept.-ish
Jan 1st here when a stray Q1 (LOL) popped up. Paid in full in Sept as well. Hoping for good news today!
Quoted from Drain-O:I pinged Melissa. I'm in the December shipment, coming into port any day now. Not quite as woohoo as Wednesday, but Woohoo none the less!
I just received the same answer, my invoice #093130. Any day now!!
Quoted from crwjumper:I just got my notification. Arriving Wednesday. Woo-hoo!
I already have a machine and reading about this excitement is making me jealous! 
Quoted from Crispin:I just received the same answer, my invoice #093130. Any day now!!
Well fuck....
Yeah, I'm in the next shipment as well. :/ I was hoping to have it for a pinball party in two weekends, but I guess not.
Was just told 2 weeks here as well.
Apparently this container was a few parts and replacement games and the next one is the biggie.
Nice to see a light at the end of the tunnel though!
I was a 2nd qtr 2021 buyer. My shipment notification was via email this am. No estimated delivery date given. My order number says R648504759 from shipping notification. I can’t locate my original order number at this time.
Quoted from Jimmyhonda:Found my invoice number #16340
You don't have an invoice number that starts with 093?
Glad you're getting your machine! Excited for you.
There's a confirmation number when you order, and then an invoice number when you pay through their Quickbooks system.
I'm only 8 slots after Jimmyhonda PO, but nothing sent to me today....
I haven't received an invoice after the initial down payment yet. 093062. A lot of people with numbers higher than mine are getting them first, so I don't understand the system.
Does anyone have info on the next boat yet?
Quoted from Jimmyhonda:Just received a fed ex email asking me to schedule shipment. I chose Thursday this week.
Same for me--got a shipping notification email from cointaker and then maybe 5 hours later a text from FedEx asking me to pick a delivery time
I’m glad to see more people getting this great game. You may have to tweak some things and you may have to get some parts, but once you get it dialed in, it really does kick ass. Good luck!
Super exclusive ad from the Pinside Marketplace!
Quoted from moat-pin:I’m -113 and no email yet (did pay in full on 10/21) …sigh
Melissa confirmed I’m on Dec boat. Who is captaining the tracking for this one!!?

Ditto, was told end of December.
Thoughts on mirror blades for Alien?
I know there has been discussion on this. Do you think it takes away from the game or adds to it?
Thanks.
Quoted from AMSNL:if ever in the future you get damage around the magnet , here is decal to cover it. but lets hope you never have t use it

Pinball Life sells mylar that goes around the magnet.

Does this use adhesive or is it static cling like vinyl?

Quoted from Zablon:Does this use adhesive or is it static cling like vinyl?
just wax the hell out of the area before sticking down the mylar and you will have no issues if you need to remove it !

I have them and like them a lot , I play in a mostly dark room and they definitely do not take away from the game

I have them on mine and love it. I posted some pics a while back.. posts 2800 & 2822.
I've had my machine for a week now and have been playing it everyday. The game will freeze often, usually when I'm having a great game, and I have to power off/on. I've reseated all the cables and I have the latest code but the problem persists. Has anyone else had this issue? I've got a ticket into Cato but I thought I'd ask the group.
Thanks

Hmm..2.4 has been pretty rock solid for me, aside from the tongue not coming out occasionally on boot (requires reboot).
Wonder if you are getting interference. There is a post somewhere in here that has instructions where to relocate a few cables.
Quoted from RussG:Thoughts on mirror blades for Alien?
I'm really leaning on getting the black mirror blades from Pinball Decals, I think they would look amazing in the game and I was hoping they would have had a Black Friday sale 
I have also been waiting to see if Joe from pinGraffix would ever do some PowerBladez for this game but I'm about to give up hope on that ever materializing. So I feel a splurge coming on for an early Christmas present 
There needs to be more mods for this game. Pin blades would be nice, real knocker, some 3D sculpts of the space ships or APC. Where are all you guys?

congrats!
Quoted from SevenEightyRacer:So apparently, for whatever reason, the asking price went up 1200 bucks? Wut?

Shoot, I’d sell mine for the asking price he couldn’t get originally and buy an LV

I remember seeing a mod on the origonal Alien where the game flashers were converted to tge warning beacon type of lights. Does anyone know who made it and if it will be available for the remake? Looked really cool on the vidro I watched one time.

This mod will take care of all that.

That is cool but I'm talking about just a flasher mod inside the game, nit the topper flasher domes. I'm intrigued by that mod but am still deciding between ordering an LV or SV. If I go the SV route, that mod is a no brainer IMO.

Are you talking about a true strobe? Or the 'act' of strobing? The OG apron mod had real strobes as part of it (I think there was one that didn't as well). This one is using LED's to simulate strobes I believe.
The LV version has no strobing built in as far as I am aware.

That apron mod does have flashers inside the game. The blades in the apron flash at an adjustable strobe speed while the Xeno eats the ball. Can you explain where the flasher would be that you are talking about? Or video of it? I guess I haven't seen that particular mod before. If you're talking about something different than the apron blade flashers, maybe there is a way to integrate what you are talking about.
