You mean like pinball machines and mods?

I hear it's actually a secret plan to make Dutch Pinball great again while playing lots of golf.

I thought you guys might like this article on what the critics thought of Lebowski 20 years ago...and now. I sincerely hope you get your games before the film is old enough to legally buy a white Russian (in the U.S.)!

I think you meant $30,000, not $13,000. Looks like K-man may also sell his to the highest bidder if anyone is interested.

I think this is it:

It’s just Kaneda trolling for a reaction (and maybe an actual offer) using that ridiculous $30,000 Facebook listing as inspiration. Either way, it’s pretty crass and disrespectful to those who got burned.

I emailed Cointaker but got no response.

Yeah, I suppose, but it kind of bugs me to have to track someone down to deliver them a boatload of money. Makes me wonder what kind of service I’ll get down the line.

Ok, good to know. In my line of work, not answering emails=death, but I understand things work differently elsewhere.

Hey Sandeep— That’s great it all worked out for you. As per Timlah79’s question, would you (or someone else) pass along the dimensions of the game? I also have space issues and that info would be really helpful. Thanks.

That’s hot! And the lady’s not bad either.

New Shit Newsletter.

Same here (since November 2019). I check in with Cointaker periodically. There seems to be no rhyme or reason to management of “The List.” I’m happy for everyone getting games, but the lack of transparency in the process is frustrating.

No deposit. The last time I called, I reminded Melissa that I had not paid and she didn’t ask for it.

Yep, nonsensical sums it up. I received no reply to my email inquiry last week--I'm guessing because there is no good response. I suppose I'll have to call, but at this point I want to have everything in writing. If it wasn't for the emails, there would be no proof of anything.

Some people are more equal than others I guess.

Thanks for the info. Hope it arrives soon. Cointaker told me I’d be in the next shipment. Does anyone have any idea when that may be, or is the production/shipping schedule still totally unpredictable at this point?

That’s a great question. Not much confidence in Mirco these days.

Did Cointaker tell you it would likely come in a couple of weeks or just wishful thinking?

So sorry to hear this. RIP.

Thanks. A modest finder’s fee would be appreciated. PM me for my PayPal info.

I was supposedly on the waiting list since 11/2019, before Cointaker started taking TBL deposits. Still waiting. During my periodic check-ins, Melissa has told me either that it will be a couple more months or that I’m “definitely” in the next group. Then I start to see others who got in after me get their invoices and games and for me it’s crickets.

In my latest couple of inquiries, I’ve simply asked to know where I am on The List. No response. I have reminded her that I have not paid a deposit (as per the 2019 policy) but she has never told me that paying one now would speed things up. Frankly, given this run-around, I’m not looking to throw them deposit money.

I get there are supply chain issues, but the lack of transparency (and any response at all lately) is frustrating and unprofessional. I guess calling guarantees at least some response, but I feel like I’m less likely to be burned if I get info in writing. Not sure if I should keep persisting or just bail and move on.

I’m sure I’ll get the call any day now.

I’m approaching two years. Others have waited for much less time. That is the problem—not necessarily the wait but the lack of consistency and communication. I was just told I’m in the next batch—for the third time over the past year. We’ll see.

No money down. I guess that was the issue? Who knows. Still…they should have told the no money down people to pay if that caused the leapfrogging. I actually offered to pay the deposit a few times if that would help, but Melissa didn’t seem interested.

I’ve called (and emailed) several times, most recently a couple of weeks ago. She is always great over the phone and then….nothing. Hope things will be different this time.

I just got my invoice! Almost two years waiting, but received a nice apology for the delay. This dude abides.

Melissa told me a fair number of games have been arriving with damage from shipping. They do an initial check before sending them out to customers. Obviously, damaged games will push back delivery dates. Fingers crossed this shipment is ok!

Congrats! I waited two years for mine. Your wait won’t be nearly as long I’m sure, but it will be worth it. The game is fantastic.

An electronic funds transfer is not cash.

Just a guess, but maybe U.S. orders are slower because they wait to have enough made to fill a shipping container before sending overseas, which is not necessary in Europe?
