The Big Lebowski
Dutch Pinball, 2016Quoted from per3per3:Would love to get confirmation once the current batch of 22 games ship out and get a sense for when they're expected in the US. I know they were supposed to ship out this week so hopefully that happened.
Don’t know where they are exactly now but last Wednesday they were at Schiphol AirPort. So, I think it’s safe to assume that CT will receive them next week.
Quoted from Sixtieskid:Ordered LV 9/26/21 ......looks like a long wait!
Nope, this is a long wait:

Sooooo, what currently happens when you click the link??

White blank screen. That’s it.

Any idea on when will the next batch of machines will be shipping? Thanks in advance!
Quoted from greenhoody:I ordered March 11th last year. Champing at the bit to see if I don't get asked to pay in full soon
Same.
I haven't called Melissa... I don't want to annoy her... but I'm hoping to hear something soon.
I ordered last July and was just told last week I'm 8 months out. You can probably use this to figure out where in line you are based on when you ordered.

That makes sense. 12-14 months is the going rate these days, but being asked to pay in full is usually 2 months in advance of the game being delivered, so those of us who made deposits in March of last year should be expecting a call any minute.
However, every time I answer my phone from an unknown number thinking it's cointaker, I keep getting offered to buy an extended warranty for my car. It's getting old!

Cointaker isn't going to call you. They will send an email. So you can stop answering the unknown calls

Quoted from brandonx76:I'm in! Reservation placed..just heard from Melissa at Coint Taker 9 months ETA - see ya'll in ...well near 9 months I hope!

Just got an update 90 - 120 days out for delivery...holy crap - this is gonna happen hahaha...
Received a “Shipment Notification” email from Cointaker, no tracking included, so followed up and informed they are being picked up from Cointaker on Monday and shipping company will contact us then for delivery arrangements.
For those keeping score 11/20/20 deposit, 12/23/21 invoice & paid, 1/20/22 shipment notification. If all goes well 1 year, 2 months & 1 week total. Hopefully next weekend I’ll be playing some TBL with some burgers, some beers, a few laughs. Our fucking troubles (will be) over, dude.

That is excellent news! I'm in this group and looking forward to receiving that email soon. The prospect of potentially getting this bad boy sometime next week makes me very happy

Definitely excited, looking forward to FedEx or whoever they are using has it local and makes contact to arrange delivery.

Haven't received any emails from Cointaker yet...has anyone else that it's this batch of 22 machines?
The email just looked like an auto generated response, I had received a duplicate invoice from them, so this may have just been accidentally sent part of cleaning up their files/ orders.Which is why I followed up and was informed, they are being picked up on Monday and then we will receive communication from their shipper.

Good to know. I was actually invoiced again today from them for the apron I paid for back on 12/24/21. All good, I don't think I'll expect to receive any email correspondence between now and when the shipper contacts me. Can't wait
Quoted from Flash71:Received preliminary tracking yesterday from CT. Games are shipping on Monday. 13 months from pre order to shipping.
Congratulations! Exciting times indeed!
Quoted from paulbaptiste:Congratulations! Exciting times indeed!
Cointaker is supposed to receive the shipment of 22 TBL's today according to Chris @ Contaker.
Quoted from mkdud:Cointaker is supposed to receive the shipment of 22 TBL's today according to Chris @ Contaker.
I'm assuming you spoke with Chris today? This seems to contradict the update that Melissa provided to B-Born05 when he spoke to her last week. Hopefully this just happens soon. For such a high priced item, it would be great to get some consistent comms from Cointaker...even a simple email to the owners of the incoming machines around expected delivery or just the fact that their machine has finally arrived would be greatly appreciated. I know there has been a lot of talk over why the waiting list can't be made more visible / transparent to all...but that hasn't happened. Keeping my fingers crossed!!!
Quoted from per3per3:I'm assuming you spoke with Chris today?
Yes. I did speak with Chris. He said the shipment of 22 was to arrive today. Did anyone get a Fed-Ex shipment notification and tracking yet? We are supposed to get these via e-mail.
Quoted from mkdud:Yes. I did speak with Chris. He said the shipment of 22 was to arrive today. Did anyone get a Fed-Ex shipment notification and tracking yet? We are supposed to get these via e-mail.
I would assume you wouldn't get this before the 22 arrive at CT. Expect it in the next few days after they arrive.

Here's hoping you're right...can't wait. I was kinda hoping to get it by this weekend but not looking too likely. I've never been as excited to hear from FedEx!
You placed your order March 11 as did I.
I sent an email to Melissa and she said our orders were "a few months out due to covid and parts shortages"
so heads up

In my experience I never received an email from cointaker or FedEx. Fed ex sent a text asking me to confirm delivery date. I had no idea what it was for.
Spoke with Melissa today. The games are in and awaiting pickup by FedEx so I’m sure when that happens you’ll be getting a call from them to set up delivery. I’m heading down to grab mine. 8 hour round trip is worth it to remove the chance of shipping damage or delays after it leaves CT.
Games are in and we are shipping out as fast as possible, quite a few went out today, the balance should ship out tomorrow...When we do the bol for fedex, we add customer's info and email...fedex is supposed to email you once your game is scanned in and picked up so that customers can arrange their delivery date and times. Balance of games will be picked up tomorrow and those who have not received emails or texts as some are reporting, will receive them tomorrow.
Any questions, please feel free to call me at 570-847-9595 ---- Melissa
Quoted from mkdud:Initial Deposit 11-6-20, paid in full 12-23-21, I just spoke to Melissa yesterday, Fedex delivery scheduled for 2-1-22. The Dude will hopefully be abiding in my home soon!
Whoa... that's a lot more than the 12 month deposit-to-delivery schedule that we saw in the past year. 15 months. I wonder if that's because of the shipping delays and not manufacturing.
I'm getting antsy.

12-15 months is the range from deposit to delivery.

Thanks for the heads up. I'm not heart broken as my business slows down foe the winter months.
Quoted from Scot0308:Received my TBL this morning. Ordered December 17, 2020.
Congrats Dude! It's an awesome game and still the favorite in my collection.
Enjoy!
Quoted from Flash71:The build quality is amazing. Well freak’n done DP. I’m blown away. The sound system is incredible. Worth the wait and every penny! I suggest the lighted apron. Spectacular!!

Can't have competing rugs trying to tie the room together, sacrilege.
Is that the laser cut apron? I’ve never been able to find out what the laser cut apron looks like compared to the “non” laser cut apron. I ordered mine with it…….so if your is, I’m happy. Looks great.
