Dudes, make yourselves a fine White Russian... This is a moment of celebration. DP didn't give us a dream, they gave us a reality!!
The worlds first TBL has been deliverd
Quoted from hawkmoon:After a year of waiting,and the first one goes there???
Umm.. Dutch Pinball is in the Netherlands; Hensbrooker is in the Netherlands. Hensbrooker has serial #2.. DP promised to ship in order/serial # Thusly.. duh.
Quoted from hawkmoon:I guess we won't see one at PAGG I was kinda hoping!!!
2017 for sure man!
Congrats to the first real customer getting his actual game. WoW!! Jealously awaiting a few pics. and it happened on 420 day. The Dude is righteous.
Quoted from hawkmoon:I guess we won't see one at PAGG I was kinda hoping!!!
That machine was originally mine and I would be happy to bring mine to PAGG but prob next year (we did a 3-way trade on machines so i am #9) Happy 420!
Seriously, major congratulations to the DP team and everyone who supported this company so far in advance. I ordered a Tesla in 2005, and waited three years for delivery of a car the majority of people said I would never see. Now I've got #26 and the company...well it's doing fine. It takes the support of folks like you to make dreams like this happen!
Quoted from sd_tom:Darkness has washed over the Netherlands..
Till tomorrow!
As much as I'd love to see pics, you can't blame the guy for enjoying the game on the night it was delivered! Hard to believe that someone finally has a game home - hoping that number eight makes it to me before long.
Guys, sorry to spoil the party but I got word that this TBL will remain in box
Expansion in the family apparently changed priorities which is understandable. Will Hensbrooker unbox in the future or resell it? Time will tell
number 3 is expected to get his TBL on his doorstep next week so unboxing pictures will happen soon anyway !!
Darn meddling kids. We would have gotten an unboxing if it weren't for them. Zoinks Scubby back to the van in search of an unboxing .
Quoted from SadSack:Delusion exemplified ^^^^^. Haven't you heard? JPOP and Kevin Kulek have thrown in the towel.
Looks like there is a flaw I your negativity .
Dang. Well, yeah.. A lot can happen in the year of delays, plus the 2+ years to get here at all.
I promise to open mine up, the day it gets here! Hopefully at #17 it'll be old news by then
Quoted from Rensh:number 3 is expected to get his TBL on his doorstep next week so unboxing pictures will happen soon anyway !!
I know where #3 is going and it's not far from me, sounds like this dude is going to be paying a visit to a monkey I know.
Quoted from Concretehardt:I know where #3 is going and it's not far from me, sounds like this dude is going to be paying a visit to a monkey I know.
Pick me up in Salem on the way up!
Quoted from Buzz:Looks like there is a flaw I your negativity .
For all you know, it's an empty box...

This monkey will garantueed unbox it
Quoted from SadSack:For all you know, it's an empty box...
I know for a fact the box coming to Oregon (game#003) is not empty
Dude, the pics and the fanfare and you don't unbox it and play the F out of it! Wtf.
You waited forever. Open it, play it a few hundred times at least and then sell it.
Is it really worth that much more in the box?
I don't know how you could even look it at sitting all boxed up.
Quoted from Pinhead1982:I appreciate Jaaps honesty. Currently whilst they get used to things 1 TBL is being produced per week .
I hope that this increases pretty soon.
If not, then 2019 is the year to look forward to for me
Hi Dudes!
Let me tell you a story...
About a girl who got really excited to open up a box... A really big box!
Gently opening the box. First signs of it's contents...
Undoing the box...
And the rest of the carton... Holy moly!
Hey... New switchbutton spot!
And of course the über cool Rug!
Quickly put it on it's back and checkout those high gloss cabinet decals. They look amazing!
Attaching the legs and put it on the rug.
"It really ties..." Yes, that!
Open up the playfield to do some setup stuff...
... Nice plaque ...
... Closeup view on the bowling assembly...
Now closing all up again and we're ready for the first spin!
First STARTUP (after transport and handling) is always a bit exciting. TBL held up perfectly and gave a nice startup sequency.
First game / ball went to the misses...
Light-show and animations are over the top!
Ended my first ever TBL game with a close to 7Mil score, which seemed not to bad after playing a lot more games!
For all of you who are waiting for theirs -> It's a stunner!
Finish on the machine looks great. Congrats. Clearly your daughter is wise beyond her years.
Heard anything from DP about the code drop?

Great to see that unboxed! Power of the inpatient youth! Game looks beautiful. Wonder how it plays? Modes? Code?
Your a great dad and husband for letting them all enjoy themselves first. Who could ever say no to that face. A big Thank You for sharing.
Thanks so much dude! I totally have renewed energy for receiving my game now. Unfortunately I am at the end of the run.
I sure hope manufacturing speeds way up as time goes on.
I'm jealous as a mofo, but I know mine will be here soon(ish). I hope mine sneaks its way into the first US container.
Congrats. Play it. Love it. Keep it.
I wonder about the untreated end faces on the backbox. Is this a known regular DP style?
