Thanks everyone, I'm pretty proud of it and I'm happy to see that there is interest. Judging by the amount of emails i've got in the last hour and the pm's I'd say way more interest than I thought it would. I've got everyone that sent a message on a list. I will build some up and try to reply to everyone when they are ready. Dave

Price is very reasonable considering all the work that you have to put into these.

If I had a roadshow I would sure place a order with you, Great Work !!!

Email sent. My Roadshow and I are in a love/hate relationship. I love it but it seems to hate me. Maybe some jewelery like this will help smooth things out with Red.

I'm not surprised that you've received such a positive response as it looks great and fits the theme perfectly.

I just hope you send these out in the order you received the emails!

If I didn't already make my own Roadshow topper for $10 bucks or have such low ceilings in my game room I would be all over this Dave! Lights on top are tied into the GI and flasher inside my reflector tied into the Blast Zone insert. Good luck and hope you sell a lot of these and will tell my friend in Ottawa who loves his Roadshow as much as me about your topper.

Very nice looking toppers guys. It's stuff like this I wish I was creative enough to come up with and help out the community. I'd love creating something like these, shipping them out, and then getting feedback on them. Gotta feel good.

Edit: By the way, just watching your video makes me want to own a road show. I had the opportunity to buy one a few years ago for $1500 (after playing it I loved it), but at that time I thought that was a lot of money to spend on a pin. Now look at my collection. Doh!

Nice work again SupaDave. I know you're still in the preliminary stages of this, but do you have the height or dimensions of the topper? Pretty sure anyone with a Roadshow, the head room, and the spare cash will be interested in one of these

I have a pretty good idea but I will measure when I get home and post the exact dimensions here and update the blog as well. That would be some nice information to put out there. Thanks for the tip.

Dave, any ETA on when the first ones will be ready to ship?

<yes, I'm anxious for this!>

Dimensions are as follows. 20.5 inches wide by 8 inches tall at the tallest point of the light domes.

Rob, as for an ETA I'm thinking June 11th. I don't want to over promise and that will give me plenty of time to get things orderd, made and tested.

As I said previously, this is really nice. It seems that toppers are now the new bling item on machines, and for me a better option than playfield toys.

Would be nice to see more for ther machines made.

Good job.

The response for the topper has been incredible. I have a huge list of people interested. I kept everyone in order they came in through on my email and pms. I hope to send out 5-10 the week of June 11th just to get things rolling and another 5-10 in a couple weeks after that. If you want to know where you fall on the list you're more than welcome to shoot me a pm or email.

On a side note, I've been asked if I will be creating toppers for other machines that would be interactive like the Roadshow topper. Well, as I wait for parts to be delivered I had time to think about it. I visited another collector in the area to browse possible candidates and one definetly came up. So yes, I see another strong candidate but it will have to wait until the rush of the Roadshows is completed before I put any focus into it.

I want to say thanks and let everyone know that the eta is right on target for the week of june 11th to start shipments to those that have prepaid. Shipments will continue each week afterwards until everyone has their order. The plan is to ship 5-10 each week. I created a ship list based on those that prepaid first and will go from there. If you have prepaid and you want to see where you are on the shiplist just send me an email at [email protected].

Prepay eligibility will continue until june 8th or until all 25 are sold. Currently I have less than 10 left. It's been exciting and I want to thank everyone again that has shown interest.

Thank you
David

I just received the topper. It has some nice detailed instructions and looks great as it was built with high quality components. Hopefully, I can get it installed in the next couple of days.

Great communication throughout the process, thanks David!
