Quoted from cpr9999:General thought - shipping (airplanes) are currently shutdown.
How are machines getting shipped to US?
Or are they waiting to ship until airlines are backup and running?
Cargo flights are still mostly flying but pinball machines are generally too heavy for air freight so they will most likely travel by sea.
Quoted from desertT1:Wasn’t Alien shipped but plane if the buyer wanted? I think one of the non-North American made games had that option.
Sorry, should have been clearer, by "generally too heavy" I meant it costs a ton to send something that heavy air freight, not that it can't or hasn't been done.
Quoted from ZMeny:Damn y’all I said TBL was nearly perfect! Tough crowd here in Dutch Land...oh and Stranger Things Prem/LE is great stuff...and it’s more reliable and has better code than TBL ALL DAY! Oh shit! I’m outta here!!! Hahaha
Sorry Zach, nothing personal but ST blows. They had one of the best themes out there to work with and it's about the least exciting thing I've played in ages. A real missed chance. Now, TBL surely needs some code updates but they are working on that right now and the rest of it is miles ahead 
Quoted from Yelobird:We’re exactly did you see DP say or mention this? Rumors on the forum don’t count.
Rumors for sure, but Rensh has mentioned it twice now and he has proven at least as reliable as DP for information, haha
It's a good start to the year here. This arrived today so they are obviously being shipped. For those that will want to know, ordered in the summer (through Nitro), paid in the fall but first machine was damaged in transit to the distributor in early December.
The build quality is great, not sure it the issues mentioned were a one off but the wood and joints on the cabinet are top notch, the playfield looks perfect and aside from one small coil adjustment and one bolt I had to tighten, it plays great out of the box. Good luck and best wishes to everyone else that's in line for one, especially the EA's!

It does look remarkably like the other ones out there

It sure is.
Quoted from Deadpin:So have recent builds been relatively problem free? Have one of these on order as well as an Alien, and Alien seems to be an unending stream of minor issues…
Nothing worse than what’s coming out of any manufacturer, in my experience. A few little tweaks out of the box and I’ve been good to go. The support from Rens (look up the Lebowski support thread), the community, and the company have been pretty awesome!
Quoted from Rensh:Barry is aware. He thinks it’s caused during transport that tbl is hit sideways and backbox moves. I suggested him to do the straps Stern style, eg over the LENGTH of the pinball, not the width. He is considering this.
Maybe just better padding between the backbox and the rails? The backbox should be tight no matter which way the straps go, you just need a wider/softer point of contact with the rails.
Quoted from beltking:Anyone have this close to
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.
