Quoted from emkay:I hope for the best for them but only if I avoid reading Mike's posts. I'm sorry he hates Americans so much but I'm not the one with his mum.
If you actually read what I wrote AND KEEP IT IN CONTEXT you will see that my MAIN beef is the dozen or so arsehole Americans that did PayPus chargebacks simply because they could.
Please stop generalising about my very specific comments.
Quoted from BrewinBombers:This is a TBL thread; not a Homepin thread.
Tell emkay that! I will always defend myself in ANY thread when people make incorrect comments about me.
Back to TBL........................
Quoted from Aurich:At this rate Charlie at Spooky is going to be the only original owner left in pinball by the end of 2017. Tough business.
Not at all......
Quoted from Aurich:Have you revealed or shipped a game? I haven't paid attention since you got all butt hurt about not selling to Americans or something. Never quite understood it, but it seemed like holding a gun to your own head so I tuned out. Is that still the case?
My anger was directed at PayPus for their shady practices, some mistook that as a general attack on Americans - incorrect.
I started a thread to show what work we are doing in the factory. There is certainly no requirement for you to look at that thread but please don't come on here saying "Homepin doesn't exist" until you have at least browsed that thread. As I have constantly said right from the start, our FIRST TAG machines will ship to countries OTHER THAN the USA because that is the market I identified as being the most receptive to this theme.
A finished , factory production Thunderbirds pinball will be exhibited at Pinfest, Newcastle Australia in October this year and full production will start straight after that.
Homepin currently manufactures several different machines including some exclusively for the Chinese market - some are OEM for other companies. Homepin is a fully functioning, operational arcade machine factory - right now - TODAY!
Quoted from Aurich:Can confirm that European pinball companies seem to take a lot of holidays.
People wouldn't believe the number of public holidays in China. WAY more than Australia that's for sure.
This coming Tuesday is "Dragon Boat Day" (holiday of course) so the staff all decided to ask if they could work Sunday instead of Monday and have two days off.
It's very common to do this sort of juggling here and the good thing about that is I don't have to pay double time for their Sunday work.
This is something the Government allows the workers to negotiate by themselves with bosses and it actually makes sense.
There isn't a hope in hell I could ever negotiate this deal in Australia without paying the workers their double time for the Sunday work - in fact, I'm pretty sure it wouldn't actually be legal.
Quoted from foxtj24:The license is for only 300. A machine was destroyed in transit and they have to fix it instead of replace it, because replacing it would mean 301. Unless the get a new license 300 is the most we will ever see.
Licences are always up for negotiation. It is a simple commercial agreement. Licence owners ONLY make money by selling their products (the licence) so they are always up for a talk about it from my experiences.
Quoted from Snoogans138:Does anyone know if there’s a way to order one in Australia?
Talk to Wayne (Mr Pinball)
Quoted from Roostking:Serious question. What pin or pins has home pin produced?
That's a very valid question. We ARE currently rolling Thunderbirds pinball off the assembly line - now - TODAY!
Sure, it will be some time before many get to the end customers but we are actually building them NOW! (there are several on site around Guangzhou and Shenzhen).
