Quoted from Manny65:Didn't get offered free shipping but we were offered a discount for a group buy paid in full - then as of 5 weeks ago we stopped getting replies to our queries. Unsure of the reason but added to our concerns and was quite fortunate in end.
Really hoping the new management can sort out all issues, look after the existing customer and those that have prepaid, and get the game out - it's a killer theme and I hope to play some time soon
Quote from Andrew via PM "you simply pay for the game - and we will pay for shipping to your door"
It isn't cheap to ship to NZ and most would have seen this as a great opportunity. Who knows, would I have received the game? My conclusion was no and glad I never entertained the offer.
Quoted from cooked71:Wow. Desperate measures to get cash in. Would have been an enticing offer - wonder how many jumped in.
I can't help but think how many other offers people received.
Seems Circus received his game due to the fact he was happy to powdercoat it and make it the first ever DIY "LE"
Whysnow, I would say jumped the line for the promise of a test machine in return to provide audits and pinside PR.
I'm sure all the 20+ owners so far have some sort of story to tell.
Reading between the lines....
Quoted from Whysnow:I actually made a promise to say exactly what I thought of the game; good or bad;
Agreements were to keep it running well, provide audits, provide code suggestions as I played and got player feedback. On the Heighway side, the agreement was that we get a full production playfield to drop in and swap
I think it's fair to say, I wasn't far off my guess. You made a promise to give your thoughts, good/bad.
You had an agreement to provide audits etc
Just feels like most who received had more to the fact than just simply being a pre-order or paying in full.
Quoted from OLDPINGUY:At Expo, hanging with Andrew, I dont remember anyone NOT offering a review, write up, blog, podcast, league,
show etc, to get one faster......including me!
Fair enough and to each their own.
However, I don't believe I should have been offered free shipping to provide last minute cash flow. I had no deposit and wasn't paid in full. Why should I receive before full paid or partly paid customers? I sure as hell don't think a guy patiently waiting for years should be jumped because you have a blog, YouTube channel, league etc
Quoted from smassa:The Simple fact that you have a game that was never made in mass quantities rated a 10 & yet have one of the better Sterns (Metallica) rated at just over a 1 is beyond ridiculous. When I've rated a games I don't like even detest they still had enough to get atlas a 3-5 rating. Your ratings are point blank embarrassing.
Sorry didn't read all below this post it looks like i'm just repeating what others think.
For a guy that says he loves pinball he certainly has some hate for some great titles. I don't own Metallica but couple friends do and it's awesome.
1.2 on Metallica, 1.6 acdc, 3 for Tron. He even scored medieval madness 4. Can't say I can take his Alien or Full throttle reviews seriously now.
