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
Quoted from kidchrisso:Fuc it! Just paid.
Welcome dude!
Quoted from LITZ:The bar was finally lifted out of a friend of a friends basement this weekend.
What does this mean?
Quoted from Concretehardt:So Is the preorder closed now or if you order today do you just not get the Chrome trim, Rug & True serial # game?
You just dont get the extras
Quoted from LITZ:Meaning the bar was in the cellar before. Friend of a friend is a snarky way to poke fun at SkitB and the 2 man Crew. No manufacturing plant to crank out 250 pins in a timely manner. Someone on PS wrote about Pred being put together in his basement. I am sure that is not accurate. Riot Pinball teamed up with Spooky to help get games out ASAP. This leads to the whole issue of money being sucked away into a blackhole due to preorder policies. Anyway I am happy to see that ppl are saying enough is enough... we want games, but not 1/3 or 1/2 of a decade later. I hope others will emulate DP in some form or another.
I figured thats where you were going with that and the snarky comments toward all manufacturers not named dutch pinball is getting old. If youre not in on predator, hobbit or any other machine then wth do you care? Skit-b wanted to make an affordable pin for the players, Kevin has accomplished that and also only asked for a $250 deposit until june I believe of this year when he asked for $3k down so hes only had a little more than half of customers money for about 5 months. The rest of the money is due when your game is being produced. Im in on TBL also but the games greatness can speak for itself, it doesnt need customers bringing down other manufacturers to sell it.
As much as Im not a fan of preorders its ultimately us customers fault for buying into them and why thats become the new norm. I think its disrespectful and adds nothing for you constantly bashing all things not DP. More manufacturers are better than only one for the hobby to stay afloat. That's like my opinion.. Man
Quoted from LITZ:I agree... so I will say this, the tide is turning and all boats will be lifted. Which in the end benefits all of us end users. Expo turned out to be a catalyst. To be honest I am interested in Riot and Heighway. I mentioned in my first rant that I have no loyalty to DP or anyone. the only thing I care about is superior products and excellent customer service. I was trying to get under the skin of the old guard. Sorry if I got under yours it was never meant to be taken personally by fellow Pinsiders.
Here is a great C2C podcast.

No offense taken, I was a little bit annoyed about the Skit-B bashing because I feel Kevin's heart is in the right place and he wanted to build a machine that didnt break the bank and he's not making a profit off of it, that sounds like a good guy to me. My biggest reservation about TBL is the price, still cant believe im paying this much for a machine and these guys have a preorder also and still have much to prove to me that they are legit. They have built a beautiful prototype and are headed in the right direction, lets wait and see how they handle working with vendors and fabricating thousands of toys and parts, also building machines with solid code and getting them out in a timely fashion before we crown their ass.
Super exclusive ad from the Pinside Marketplace!
Quoted from sd_tom:You could email Phil or jaap. I imagine though they need to sort of catch their breath a bit and catch up on some things and then send out some New Shit Newsletters. Fair warning the T-shirt distribution has been haphazard. Thinking though that all the new orders are going to require them to get a bit better organized with the books anyway.
Thats cool, Ill send them an email. Im still waiting on shirts from another preorder I made, I dont think they are coming though, that was 5 months ago.
Quoted from aeonblack:What do you mean custom callouts? Lines that were not actually said in the movie?
Custom callouts pertaining to pinball "jackpot!" "multiball!"
Quoted from BillE:Anyone know the best way to contact DP? Im trying to find out if my order made the deadline, left a note in the deposit form, also contacted them on the website contact form several days ago, no response at all.
They should have sent you a copy of the payment setup which equals $8500 like this
