Quoted from Snoogans138:He said no.
I guess I’ll keep on searching.
Given this title's backstory, I wouldn't be handing over payment for anything that isn't actually in stock either locally or from an overseas source.

Quoted from Ballypinball:There is no distributor in Australia and nobody who will touch this mess to be responsible for your money
Try cointaker or some other company selling them, or people trying to sell their spot cheaper than they paid in full for.
Well, it's not like Heighway Pinball and their current product are any less tainted. LOL.
Game updates bricking machines, parts support non existent, queue jumpers for fresh cash injections, sporadic communication - everyone on the merry go round because the ride to insolvency always sounds so familiar.
In stock or not, I wouldn't be handing over money for either title unless I wanted the luxury of gazing upon a future $13,000 doorstop.
Quoted from rubberducks:I don't think TBL is likely to be a doorstop if you actually get one, and Barry has made every effort to support those people who are lucky enough to have one (same with BoP 2.0).
The question is over actually getting one.
Much like Heighway reborn, no doubt that if someone were to show a wad of cash as payment in full they would magically find themselves at the front of the elastic queue with a number and confirmed shipping date.
Aliens have been landing regularly down under for some time now.
Solvency is their predominant respective hurdle.

Quoted from ahdelarge:Fingers crossed for Xytech or Homepin manufacturing The Big Lebowski, Australian distributor and then boom, I'll buy one.
I think you better stock up on arthritis pills.

Quoted from PinBalt:So what the f??& would Ara do with the 40 hostage units sitting in their warehouse. If they win then they should be released to customers.
If I was an EA I would be contacting ARA to find any legal means possible of getting title to them before said units end up being shipped to Australia and subsequently resold back to North American customers for profit.
Quoted from Mr68:From Wikipedia: "Deus ex machina (Latin) is a plot device whereby a seemingly unsolvable problem in a story is suddenly and abruptly resolved by an unexpected and seemingly unlikely occurrence, typically to the point of being perceived as a contrived plot point. Its function can be to resolve an otherwise irresolvable plot situation, to surprise the audience, to bring the tale to a happy ending, or act as a comedic device".
I had to look it up and thought I'd share. (Well done RT)
In the case of DP, they would hope it most likely resembles something like this.

Quoted from sd_tom:it is as if you will benefit somehow from speeding up this implosion. so whats it to you? are you looking to pick up a container of ARA games to resell or what?

Quoted from Micky:It is way past ugly already.
Not even close.
The existing ARA machines could potentially end up in the hands of an uninvolved third party dealer and being resold back to the original NA/European pre order buyers.
