Quoted from beltking:Are boxes marked to note starry apron installed?
They should be.
IMG_0481 (resized).pngAppears we have a non starry apron here instead of the ordered led version. The real kicker... no legs 
I just threw out the old nasty set I had too.
Box was marked as having apron, maybe I'm incorrect. I do not see where light is coming through this though. Will know once we get our legs.

Which serialno is this? And, post a picture of the apron pls so we can see what it is. If it has Lebowski engraved it’s a starry apron.

Pm sent with serial. Definitely got the normal apron.
I've been wanting a TBL since the initial announcement. I don't even remember anymore how long ago that was. But I held off sending a down-payment because I wanted to read the reviews before placing my order. Then the big problems and DP going almost BK. So I am not technically an Early Achiever but I have been waiting just as long. After I was sure that DP had recovered, I placed my order in August of 2021. I postponed delivery several times while waiting for technical issues to be resolved. Thanks Melissa for being patient. Finally September 2nd, 2023 the Dude has arrived and I couldn't be happier!
I ordered some decals years ago and I installed them on the targets but does anyone remember where these other decals are supposed to be placed?
Also, I'd like to upgrade the music to the original songs and I recall that someone here on pinside offers that. Please remind me the user name?

Have a look at this video for the sticker placement, about the 9:40 mark -
Also this has some pictures - https://pinside.com/pinball/forum/topic/the-big-lebowski-mods

Thanks for the video showing the decal placement, perfect! My coin door is different than the one in the video so the sticker must be placed in another location.
The original song package is on the way.
Yeah, I think that I had ordered the starry apron from the factory back in 2021 and forgotten about it. I also ordered one last week so now I have an extra lol
My TBL did not come shipped with a coinbox Is this now standard practice?
The only other thing I noticed was that there was no protective plastic over the video screen as described in the manual but it seems fine.
Otherwise everything works great! The rug takes a solid hit to register but I like it that way. It feels more satisfying

Glad you are enjoying tbl
We have never supplied a coinbox and also have no plans to.

Good, I have enough coin boxes that will never be used.
Quoted from EDUB919:Got me beat by a day. Probably riding side by side in the same ABF truck as mine.
I bet they are!
Quoted from Rensh:No need to wonder, think all TBLs produced the last 2-3 months have them ...
I think i missed this. What included Lior mods?

Lior now makes all the sculps for Dutch Pinball.

Cool! But that's for new add-ons, not for newly built stock TBLs if I'm reading that correctly?

I think the standard toys in the pin are made by Lior now, I don't think newly built ones get extra, but I'm sure someone can correct if wrong
Quoted from AlexisRose:I think the standard toys in the pin are made by Lior now, I don't think newly built ones get extra, but I'm sure someone can correct if wrong
Interesting! Good news for both parties!
Quoted from Rensh:Yes. Several Standard parts are now made by lior and used in TBL.
Soon additional mods will be available.
Did you guys locate EA117 ??
Curious, if you know, how many more EA are left to fulfill? Gotta be getting close?

Yes, he was found with thanks of a fellow pinsider genex
Approx 40 pcs EA to go. Slowly but surely ….

Good to see 117 was found!
40 to go, not ideal but certainly better than the alternative.
Thanks for the post!
Quoted from WarriorPin:468 days later…
[quoted image]
Awesome, hoping this means good news to me as well, 473 days and counting. Still waiting for a shipping notice, was told 2 weeks last week.
Just joined the preorder club. Guess I’ll get to know some folks while waiting in this year+ line. Howdy!
So are they still only making the EA machines? Are the production numbers that small or are regular editions going out in parallel?

It’s kind of parallel. The sold units have to pay for 1) themselves, 2) keep factory running plus 3) the EA. So, perhaps best way to see it as profits are being diverted to make EA.
FYI, I called Friday as Melissa had told me shipping inside of 10 days two weeks prior. Was told the next batch, with mine, is in country waiting to clear customs and I should expect to see a shipping notice in the next week or so. Deposit early June of last year.

When did you get your invoice? I'm close to the 3 months from paid so hoping our shipping notification will come in the next month.
Many including me are over 200 days since paid in full. Don't get your hopes up as its a long journey to get that call. I've been told twice now customs issues along with other reasons my game has been delayed.
Quoted from WarriorPin:A hole like this?[quoted image]
The hole is fixed. What an awesome game. sound mod is really cool.
Quoted from neverahighscore:Many including me are over 200 days since paid in full. Don't get your hopes up as its a long journey to get that call. I've been told twice now customs issues along with other reasons my game has been delayed.
200 days? At 5% interest on 13k, which is what basic money market funds are running currently, that's about $350.
Quoted from neverahighscore:So you're trying to make me feel better huh!
I think from here on I'm gonna just keep mouth shut until I see my pin or it's been long enough since I paid I can't anymore. G'luck and godspeed.
Quoted from neverahighscore:So you're trying to make me feel better huh!
I’d call cointaker and say I’ve seen people who paid after me according to pinside posts get their games already. Did I get missed? I think something’s wrong. I think I was like 95 maybe 100 days brother. I’d call asap.
Have already done this. And if you read the other posts, there are others who have longer paid in full time frames than me. How many, i don't know. I talk to Melissa every 30 days. It's always in the next shipment then an excuse for why it isn't on that shipment.
Is sales tax charged to the state from which the billing and payment are made or is it charged to the state the pin is shipped to? For example, if the purchase address on the billing and payment is PA (the person buying the pin resides in PA) but the pin is shipped to NY address, do you pay PA sales tax or NY sales tax?
nm, I think I found the answer - sales tax is charged based on the delivery state.

Correct. It's based on delivery state. Sales tax will be charged for PA. Have it delivered to a friend in Ohio and you won't have to pay the sales tax to cointaker.
Quoted from Heisfranzkafka:Have it delivered to a friend in Ohio and you won't have to pay the sales tax to cointaker.
You may still have to pay whatever your state sales tax is to Cointaker - the law now requires vendors to collect sales tax for any state they ship to if they hit a threshold amount of annual sales to that state.
Quoted from fosaisu:You may still have to pay whatever your state sales tax is to Cointaker - the law now requires vendors to collect sales tax for any state they ship to if they hit a threshold amount of annual sales to that state.
Just speaking from my experience. I did not have to pay sales tax to cointaker.
Quoted from Heisfranzkafka:Just speaking from my experience. I did not have to pay sales tax to cointaker.
Nice - if it's a concern probably worth just giving them a call, it may be state by state in terms of whether they do enough business to trigger sales tax collection (though if they're not collecting for Ohio maybe everyone other than their home state is off the hook).
