The Big Lebowski
Dutch Pinball, 20164 more dudes added - Metallik, GaryMcT, Aurich, and Nilroc.
This list is growing and starting to attract some pretty critical (constructive critics, mind you) and well respected pinheads. Pretty obvious that DP brought an impressive product to Expo that was further along than most people expected. Bodes well for this pin and the future of pinball.
Quoted from starbase:Happy for all you rug owners, best of luck on your ride!
Either I kicked my pin crack habit or I have willpower to fight off a gorgeous high quality pin.
Still fighting the urge...... since it's the last day for VIP this will be a long ass day for sure.
Just watched the long gameplay video and heard BOTH Creedence songs (Run Through the Jungle and Lookin' Out My Backdoor)!!!! Why is that surprising? The OFFICIAL SOUNDTRACK to the movie didn't have those two songs, I'm guessing due to a right$ issue. In fact I think I heard all my favorite songs from the movie.
I wasn't holding out much hope for the Creedence, but I guess if you will it, it is no dream!
Quoted from musketd:Big thanks to all that attended the VIP parties; hope everyone had a blast
Was good to meet you!

Phil doesn't f**k around! He sold me on how DP does business.

Can someone please post the link for this long gameplay video? I've only seen a couple short clips.
The very generous 'jguynes' made some live reports during the week. Go to ustream.com or download the app. Check out his videos about the VIP party and see some great flipping footage!
Thanks again, loved to see the live reports from Chicago!

Where is the "long gameplay video"?
Can someone clarify the "chrome" pre order issue for me? It doesn't say anything about "chrome" on the website pre order list.
Btw, kudos to Phil for understanding how to SELL and MARKET a F ing pinball game!

Chrome was mentioned as a reveal of sorts in the DP presentation that Jared also taped (so same link just posted for VIP party, find the DP presentation)

Looking at the trim on TBL the lock bar looked to have an engraving!? Anyone confirm, will this be on the production models?
Quoted from Pinhead1982:Looking at the trim on TBL the lock bar looked to have an engraving!? Anyone confirm, will this be on the production models?
No, it was just sticker letters that said something like TBL PRE PRODUCTION 1 (and 2 and 3).
Post edited by Aurich: Erik is right I think it said PROTOTYPE
Quoted from Kcpinballfan:Mark it "0"! I'm in dudes
That is not a 0 but an X dude. Nice strike!

So all 3 of the pre production games at Expo had chrome trim, just like Tron LE etc. That was added last minute along with the rug for pre-order folks. Today is the last day to get in on that though. It looked great, totally natural.
If you're on the fence just look at the people who are in. It's not just that game is great, but the company behind it is solid in so many ways. The game is real, not a picture of whitewoods and concept art, that part is legit, but the people building it are both passionate pinheads, and also real deal practical people who know how to get shit done.
When was the last pin with 20 licensed songs??
I know the BOP 2.0 thing has been frustrating to some. Trust me when I say there were reasons why it was delayed and they couldn't communicate as much as people would like. That's going to be over very soon.
I believe there was only one multi-ball mode in this version of the code.

Quoted from IdahoRealtor:F it. This pin is really going to pull the room together.
Hell yeah!! : )

Thanks for the info Aurich, I'm not on the fence at all, I get it, and appreciate those that are in and the reviews because it makes a huge difference seeing up close and in person versus online.
I'm just trying to weigh the "when" am I in factor? I guess the chrome will be an additional cost feature for those that wait.
The only other thing I thought about was buying somebody else's spot when it comes up over the holidays, surely somebody will have to drop out! Since I'd be at the back of the line now, maybe it makes sense like some did with Woz in jumping over people. Might not have the chance here though, anyhow, great looking pin and love their attitude.
Quoted from IdahoRealtor:F it. This pin is really going to pull the room together. Count me in!
Anybody want my Hobbit Smaug SE for $7300?
Why not just get the refund from JJP?

You can use the rug to cover the Smog mod.

That's an interesting point. Did they say the preorders were transferable? If someone jumps me in line there may be repercussions.
yup.jpgQuoted from iceman44:Why not just get the refund from JJP?
This distributor doesn't do refunds. Must sell my spot to get out. Don't mind a small haircut for a quick sale. If need be I'll sit on it until Hobbit is production ready and in higher demand.
Quoted from IdahoRealtor:My distributor doesn't do refunds. Must sell my spot. Don't mind a small haircut for a quick sale.
Does not do refunds huh, well good luck scamming ppl on the next pre-order then. Did you notice what Phil said about distributors at the presentation? Basically go flip yourself.
Quoted from LITZ:You can use the rug to cover the Smog mod.
LOL. Think it's big enough to cover the book, too?
Super amazed about this pin! Glad I'm in on TBL (from the start).
Still got to think on the critics when came to light DP would do TBL -> Some where a bit concerned about the how the final result would end up (artwork design, programming, build quality and so on..)
- DP hit it clearly out of the park!
Btw... Since I am/was in on THLE I did keep up a pre-order list also. And the funny thing is -> RTR's list did get about 50 additions over expo's timeframe so far, and mine (TH pre-order list) did NONE 
- Someone did clearly not make up for expectations.
Fuck it, I'm in. Proud member of the little Lebowski's urban achievers club. (That's what we're calling ourselves, right?)
Quoted from zucot:Fuck it, I'm in. Proud member of the little Lebowski's urban achievers club. (That's what we're calling ourselves, right?)
Welcome... we drink White Russians here not Kool-Aid.
7 more achievers added to the list!!!!
I may go ahead and pre-pay my whole order today so I can stay ahead of all these new dudes....
Plus, after seeing the videos, comments, and genuine interest in this game, I have no reservations about it at all!

Not transferable. Phil said specifically that if you want out, they will give you your money back, and that's the end of it. No selling or changing spots.
Quoted from sammiesguys:Not transferable. Phil said specifically that if you want out, they will give you your money back, and that's the end of it. No selling or changing spots.
Add to it they wont dock you paypal fees

The others producers will have to offer this same return policy for me to ever consider doing a pre-order.
Quoted from IdahoRealtor:LOL. Think it's big enough to cover the book, too?
Yes and plenty of rug left over to cover the Welvirine if you like.
Quoted from vex:maybe ice can't relate to bowling because he's into basketball?
Hehe…..but the Iceman does Abide! Can't relate? 
Do you think I'd let you F ers have all the fun! You knew it was a slam dunk, the king of pre order and vapor pins is in.
Good to be involved in the journey with all you great peeps, all my favorite pinsiders are in on this, wouldn't want to miss it, I'm excited for the ride FELLAS/LADIES!
