The Big Lebowski
Dutch Pinball, 2016The longer you wait the better the pin gets….not only are there HARDWARE UPDATES, but the CODE is being Updated as we speak…I would guess that the games shipping Xmas this year will be running 1.0 plus upgraded Hardware components compared to those sold just a year earlier…so you could say, “Better things come to those who wait!” 
Quoted from beltking:Thinking about ordering. Everyone I talk to says it’s their favorite pin. The wait is rough.
Rough? I’m still waiting on RAZA. 
Was disappointed with the TS4 reveal and complete lack of toys and innovation and this one just caught my eye. Put down deposit tonight. I’ve had Elvira on order for ages so used to the wait and cannot bring myself to pay over list while game still in production.
Anyone here not order the starry apron and have regrets? I have an extra for cost (600) - brand new. I will cover shipping in the US.
I ordered it, and received a regular apron. Also, decals peeling. I should have laser cut. Awsome. Machine!
Quoted from Crispy:I ordered it, and received a regular apron. Also, decals peeling.
That's...not cool, is CT taking care of you on the Apron? How are you addressing the Decals?
Quoted from Crispy:I ordered it, and received a regular apron. Also, decals peeling.
Is it the apron decals that are peeling? Or your cab decals?
Quoted from fosaisu:Is it the apron decals that are peeling? Or your cab decals?
It's the apron decals. Sent me the right apron, but now I have to install it myself.

Cool, just wanted to clarify as I hadn’t seen any complaints previously about cab decals (and I guess I still haven’t!)
Quoted from insight75:Any news on large shipments coming across the pond on their way to PA? Can't wait!
I haven't heard anything. I paid my invoice on 6/10
Quoted from duke-of-bourbon:I haven’t heard anything and I paid on 5/9
I paid at the same time.
Quoted from duke-of-bourbon:Talked to Melissa… they’re here….
far (resized).jpgI'm happy for you guys. GREAT game, super high build quality with high-end parts.
Great layout, great music, and most importantly a kick ass theme.
With a rug to tie the room together!
Quoted from SaintJB:Received shipping notification from CT this afternoon!
Me too!
Quoted from PDX-Mike:Just spoke with Melissa about updating my shipping address, she advised me that my Lebowski along with the next batch are currently being shipped via air and should be landing state side shortly.
Congrats! When did you order yours?
Quoted from MLmotorsport:Congrats! When did you order yours?
I ordered mine on 7-14-21, exactly one year ago today.
Quoted from PDX-Mike:I ordered mine on 7-14-21, exactly one year ago today.
That would probably include mine... I paid my deposit on 7/23/21 - I paid the invoice on 6/10/22....
Just got my invoice today 7/14/22. Ordered 9/9/21. 308 days from order to invoice. Added the starry apron to my order.
Check your invoice total if you ordered before 10/11/21 as you should still get the game at $12,500 total and not the current price of 13k.
Ordered 9/10/2021. Invoice came today 7/14/2022. Almost the exact same timeline as @cconway84. Far out man.
Quoted from toots:Ordered 9/10/2021. Invoice came today 7/14/2022. Almost the exact same timeline as cconway84. Far out man.
The wait seems to be shortening a bit which is good news! Ordered mine on 2/9/22. Maybe Santa will bring us a TBL for Christmas this year?

Holy shite, should be getting invoiced any day now

I'm with ya; ordered 2/1/22. Maybe?
Buyers who intend to be owners have a number of things swinging in their favor. Supply chain is easing. Shipping is cheaper/faster. Flippers getting nerves??? Dollar = Euro is hopefully keeping DP's profit margins in tact. World is struggling to find balance. “Strikes and gutters, ups and downs.”

Not a flipper but I doubt pinball prices come down much if at all. Also, I don’t see manufacturers lowering their prices either.
Maybe with supply chain easing the market stabilizes.
Today, I marked it zero for my remaining balance. Come late August, early September, it’s time to roll dudes and dudettes.
Anyone have this close to
Quoted from Rjbdmdmd:Couldn't be any happier with this game.

No issues? So many reviews say it’s constant to keep it running. Scares me not being able to fix down the road. New builds probably better than older.

It has been the most rock solid pin I've owned. The support from Rens and Dutch is top notch as well for those that have had any issues.
Quoted from SaintJB:Received mine today!

Let us know what you think. Really want one but don’t know since parts could be an issue.

Obviously you’re not a golfer.

Why would you think parts are an issue specific for TBL? If so, same can be said for instance for AP, Spooky, Pb, even JJP. All ‘smaller’ players.
Only leaving stern out and try there getting parts of a pin out of production ….

True that. I had a Stern Monopoly once that needed a new wheel that rotated the mini flipper bat. That part was totally "unobtainium", and the pin was only a few years out of production. I wound up having to make the part myself.
Besides, TBL currently uses a lot of common parts that are in production and readily available. Anything game-specific, like playfield plastics and the like, should be available for the foreseeable future, more or less like any other game that is currently in production.
If you want the game, go for it. The quicker you get on the list, the better.
