How do you know this?

I didn't say "I Know This"!?

I said "It's Looking Like" .... errrr... based on LOOKING at the Poll Resulsts So Far (which are at the top of the page, if you missed them?)

Sorry, to explain; If 80% of games are BSE and you have BSE#C-538 (for example) then this BSE machine is going to be built >12 months from now. That's all I meant ....

I guess Dealers would still have Fixed numbers of Standard Games? ... so I suppose there could well be a bit higher percentage of Standards in total, than what this poll might suggest initially.

Looks like the only way to upgrade to BSE now is via Distributor (Spooky made it clear, get it right the First Time), by swapping with a BSE allocation if they still have any. What Edition do distributors have left right now, if any?? ... are they only Standards that are still available??

Ah that makes sense. Basically, the BSE early 'jump the queue' is nullified since everyone essentially jumped the queue.

The wait will make that Butter upcharge all the more easy to pay for!

I’m fortunate in that I have a very early number.

TheNoTrashCougar will the BSE be numbered #/? Or like someone suggested "C-000" to reference which RaM dimension you're in

My computor is fast enough dont need more ram.

I got my order confirmation email at 9:21am...so 4ish months you say? I was hoping by end of summer. Fingers crossed.

2021?? How many are they pumping out a day? Makes me remember back to when I waited an eternity for my WoZ Emerald.

I thought they said when ramped up 10 a week. I could be mistaken. That could have been a month?

10 a week

Yep 10 a week means 500 a year.... so the machine # C-540 would be over 12 months away.

This stuff is not breaking news... it's all in the key posts of the RaM thread.

Hey there,
I don't really have much to do with the production side of things. This is a better question for Charlie.

I can't believe they are just starting production now,all they have to know is what add-ons for each BSE!! The standard pin should be already to go!!

How could they have started production already. They are still finishing up Alice cooper build

Spooky said ACNC is just about done. Starting RM right after Christmas break. None of this is any news, though. This is how Spooky works. If you want one of their games, be prepared to wait or pay extra to buy one off somebody high on list.

I ordered the bse I'm getting #224 I noticed there are more votes than machines being made.

How do you get your build number? I ordered through PinballStar but not giving me any info. Has anyone from PinballStar gotten a build number?

distributors have numbers already from spooky since they were promised a certain number of games. you have to wait for the distributors to figure out their order list and let you know what number you are getting.

Number of votes currently 253 .... how in the f is 253 more than 750??

I suppose it depends on what alternate universe you’re in.

Has it occur to the Spooky folks that if you sell out out of the entire plan the run of 750 machines then maybe..... just maybe.... the marketing demands are a bit more than 750?

License was negotiated for 750 units and that is the finality of this production run. They would piss off first time buyers and long-term customers alike if all of a sudden they renegotiate the license terms for additional machines. It would also pose a legal nightmare for them as the "terms" of the contractual purchase (basic legal offer and acceptance) state the item is of a limited production run with a finite number of units.

Also, I believe they were a bit nervous selling this many units. It is quite the thing to tie up the production line for 18 months. Further, they are running their business the right way. Rather than pick up "seasonal" employees and fire them after demand wanes, Spooky is ensuring their current staff all have gainful employment for the next 18 months (and the next 12 to 18 after the announcement of the next pin).

If you wanted a machine and didn't get one in time, sorry. Some believe you will easily be able to buy someone else's deposit at face value. Some believe that you will pay less for used than NIB in a year from now. The only absolute truth is that only 750 units will be made.

On a positive note, the way owners and even many OP's baby their games these days, it will be around for years and available in good shape for used purchase in the future.
