No way! Are they going to be announcing TBL back in production during the Super Bowl!? Just kidding but I am looking forward to whatever is going to be shown even if its just a crummy commerical with The Dude.

At the very least with everything these games are seeing the light of day instead of going down with the Titanic. That should mean something as it was a shame they sat for all these years in the first place. I agree with the previous posts.. This seems to be the only route you EA's eventually get made whole and sure hope that happens because I'd love one of these games someday if everything becomes stable and not a roll of the dice.

I agree to the posts above about stop being negative and rooting against this. Sounds like the guy has some unfinished business to take care of and wants to eventually settle up with the people he has wronged. IF this game can be made that's a big fuckin win. I would be a buyer even at 12.5 if this becomes stable and not a gamble. I'm sure there would be more considering they easily got 50 to step up to the plate. Once a few games starting rolling maybe this thing could have the legs to take off.

One of the games made it to Tilt in MPLS and plays amazing.

Block yourself a lot of time over there at Tilt because you may have issue getting on that machine. When I went there it was held down by a couple for over an hour. I was like a little kid on Christmas that didn't get the hot new toy when I was having to play the other games there not knowing if I would have enough time to play TBL before I had to take off. I was finally able to play 2 games once they moved to another machine. Would have been nice to have got a better fill on it but at least I'm not too far away to give it another go.

Lol probably the same couple. Big tall dude with a beard? They were drinking white russians while playing when I was there. Think they said they named their dog donny as well. Big Lebowski fans for sure and had a good chat with them after I got on the machine.

When I saw they were hovering over and not really playing I had asked if I could jump in on it and struck a good conversation with them. Good people and I had gave them the rundown on the big deal of a machine it was since they weren't caught up on this fiasco.

I was on that original list where there was no deposits and when it started to ramp up machines going out I called to see where things were at and I had to put down 1K to get onto another list I think so if you guys are cool with that 1K hold I'd call and figure that out because I'm sure you are getting skipped over for those that have. I put my grand down in October but I was probably the first 100 on the non deposit list.

I contacted Melissa today to get an update. I put my grand down in November last year and she was telling me I'm about 60 days away. We will see how accurate that is though.

Yep I remember that initial estimate too which I knew was optimistic so yeah the 60 day estimate now I'm still holding my breath but hopefully!

The achiever apron? Yeah I suppose mine as well get that if we are paying and waiting as much as we are

Got an update for an expected wait time of another 60 days.. roughly about 60 days ago I was told 60 days lol So not much surprise there.

Yeah that was the mistake. Can't even remember when I was put on the non deposit list but I put down my 1K whenever I seen the people leapfrogging my date. Not sure why she wouldn't take your deposit but my guess is that you are behind everyone that has. Kind of a tough spot but I would try getting more clarification on that...

Got my invoice today. Looks like the wait is nearly over!

Yes last november

Hell yeah man ! Excited to finally receive the game.

Is 3 weeks from invoice the ETA give or take for getting the game through shipping?

DHL went up on price massively so they switched to FedEx

I paid on my invoice on 10/19. Called Melissa yesterday and was told that the games haven't made it to the US yet but were shipped. So if you're saying she said the games are ready to be sent that's awesome we got 2 different stories.

Maybe so. Frustrating on the wait time for this but then again people have waited 6 years and don't have a game or their money.

Got my shipment scheduled for Friday 11/19

For those keeping score at home:

Initial deposit 11/20/20
Invoice 10/19/21
Ship Date 11/19/21

364 days

Yeah would of liked to come check yours out but it would have probably made my wait even longer! Go Rockets

It's been a weird process for me. I'm not happy with the communication either I know the last couple months I've been calling and bugging about the status and I did get one of the lit up aprons so I don't know if that makes a difference either.

She arrived and looks to be in good shape. Will be bringing it in the house and installing in a couple hours when I get assistance.

Like I said I was calling and emailing alot when I was getting closer so I don't know if that made a difference on my time waiting. I also was on the unofficial list before the 1K deposits were made and was never told I needed to jump onto that new list. So after contacting cointaker I was pretty much told that old list didn't mean a thing and to pony up a grand. Not sure if this helped my time table at all but yeah there needs to be transparency to the whole set up especially with how slow going this has been.
