So ... finally my first two TnAs arrived in New Zealand!

They left Benton back in February.
They went straight by Truck to my usual depot in Los Angeles. Arrived in around a week.
I had requested that they be put in the first possible container so they’d arrive in Auckland in time for the TnA Launch Party that I had organised for Friday March 9th as part of Pincade. I told the guys “the 2 Spooky Games - the ones in the boxes!”
So, the container leaves and duly arrives late - it’s unloaded ON THE DAY of the launch party! I’m down in Wellington running the first Pincade Competition with 75 competitors and just jumping on a plane to come back to Auckland to set up the TnAs for the launch party at 5pm.
I’d arranged for the freight guys to drop off the 2x boxed pins at the apartment. I get on the plane at 2pm —- land at 3pm to a text message from the Mrs “they are Bm66!!” Los Angeles had loaded two pins in a box alright ... 2x BM66 that I had bought for my buddies instead of the TnAs! Jeeeeeezzzuussss!
So we had to have a TnA launch Party with AMH and RZ instead. Everyone was pretty cool about it and the non TnA launch party went well.
So ... where were the TnAs?
“They aren’t at the depot!”
Ahhhhh I have a trucking docket that says they are.
“Noooo can’t find them”
Ahhhhh they’re worth $12,500 ... better find them!
So eventually the big boss of the outfit goes down the warehouse (think Indiana Jones...) and found them hiding behind a huge box of something.
So eventually they got here. One went straight to the carriers to be dropped down to Wellington to a very patient Hamish who has been ... very patient.
Set mine up at home ... decided to make it a bit spicy ....

It still has the older code on it, but game one I got 2m and 3 reactors down. Then it was time to leave and get back to the city.
I’ll update the code Saturday, and there’ll be 60-70 people playing it at Sunday’s Macs Interstate Pinball Classic at my place! Nice!
