Let me be the first to say,
I buy what "I" like.
As a former magazine subscriber, I am all in.

I just pray that this is not one of Burton & Cybs' scams.

All the pictures I have seen do not show the built playfield clearly. Will it have phone screens?
I am a fan of the 2 different sides and the colour change paint.
Plus, I enjoy playing Star Wars pro.

"Death, death to all who oppose us!"

The pics are grainy, but I do see a 2 slot coin door.
I was under the impression home builds have no coin slot at all. Wasted material.

Under the impression it is a rethemed home model

Still buying.
Love the magazine. Really hope people opt out to increase my rarity down the road.
Plan on keeping a long time.
Plus it should be a hell of a lot lighter!

Can't wait for the alt translights!

I spoke with Heavy Metal on messenger the other day.
Always funny to chat with non pinheads

Oh yes its a full sized machine,
It even has a functioning coin door so you can put it on location to earn.

Buddy, it takes a special type to buy a re themed home unit and then put it out to earn.

May as well flush $ down a toilet.
Parts will be hard enough to find already.

I have a dark corner right over there for it. Maybe since it is lighter and smaller it may make it to the odd show with me.

Backglass is an alternate cover of issue "300"

With the cost of shipping it was more reasonable to buy a 1 year subscription to Canada.

Plan on leaving a copy of 300 in the goodie bag.

Rumour has it the pinball will not release to coincide with issue 300.

Hoping I get a bit if a discount on price as white glove setup is included in the US.

Ordered the # print from Incendium of the backglass art.
Will look great framed up.
Will eat up the wall space until something else comes along.

The Magazine has been hit and miss for me for years.
I renewed for a year.
Lets see what Incendium is going to bring to Heavy Metal.
Has to have that content...

I had more fun playing SW LE.
Just waiting for an airball for all those mini screens.

It's a homepin re-theme.
Call it what you like.
It is what it is.

As a former and now again subscriber.
The magazine better not be hit and miss anymore.

Art print #15 showed up with a dent in the tube.
Print has horrible wrinkles.
Sent pics to Incendium.
Lets see if they make it right.

When framing costs more than the print. The print better be right.

I am #15 on the list (#1 in Canada)
Had to provide proof that the # print was destroyed before being issued a replacement.

I am sure they (Incendium) must have bought 5-10

Production is capped at 300.

Incendium had no problem matching the print # to the magazines # included with the machine.
Enjoy the white glove setup that I don't get for the same price.

Game music is not downloadable from the pin like DP.

Primus only sold 100 units.
Time will only tell, ordering is open for a year.

My backglass art print arrived.
Out at framing.
Latest from Incendium is production slated for Oct/Nov

Issue 300 is next.

A little pissed that Avengers IQ seemed to jump the que.
I guess people want pins before the next price increase.
Thank goodness my price is already set and deposit made.

Not yet,
Incendium still says Oct, Nov to Canada.
No word from Stern.
Must be too busy to worry about existing deposits.

Start of November.
I checked in with Incendium to inquire if any pins have been shipped.
I was informed that assemblies are finished and heading to the line.
Production (in some form) will begin next week.

Soon enough this thread will relate to a production pinball.

I did not inquire as to how many models have sold currently.

Shipping was to begin this week.
Thursday, my distributor has heard nothing as of yet.
Don't call us we'll call you.

Only have 3 work days left until year end vacation.....

If you have yours, post some pics.

If you are in the EU, I feel for you paying in canadian dollars (0.75).

I heard from Incendium on saturday.
They are claiming that shipping will begin tomorrow Dec 14.
Who knows, maybe I will have it by weeks end.

No pin as of end of business day friday.
Hopefully next week before X-mas.

I had to call my distributor re holiday hours.
My NiB 'may' be on the next truck shipment on tuesday.
Due to lockdown measures in the region, I can go get curbside pickup wednesday.
That's my last chance for HM this year.

Still wondering how many EU buyers may have opted to drop out when the tariff came in.
May be some extra units lying about.

Interesting side note.
The 'special' numbered issue of Heavy Metal magazine is NOT included.

Incendium was concerned that 'collectable' magazines cannot be just rolling around inside the machine.
Incendium claims they will mail out the special issues to owners.
Issue 300 was initially released with 4 variant covers. 2 Taarna, 1 Nelson, 1 blank.
Really hoping for a blank with custom art applied.
I also inquired into paying extra to have my issue encapsulated (bricked, slabbed). It would be a nice option.

Finally came in today

Came home all wrapped up in the cold and rain

Drying out, just to be sure.
