Not sure about via distributor. I put my order in directly with Kayte at Spooky, and she gave me my order number on the spot while on the phone.

I think your distributor would have to get your exact number for you . But if you know what batch you are in it should give you a general idea of where you are at .

if it was Friday it would seem like you are in batch four. I want to say they were at 162 after the stream. but it probably depends when you distributor places the order with Spooky. Based on initial sales it's sure looking like this will surpass RZ.

So are the numbers displayed anywhere but the box? Do we get an LE plaque signed by the now famous Scott D?

No because the game is not a LE , but I did tell Scott I was going have him sign my game .

Do you have to pay in full for the preorder? or is it just a deposit or what?

I asked Scott the same thing

Deposit $1,000 , the rest isn't due untill your game is ready .

$1000 due now, the rest due when your game is ready.

#153 here. Batch #4. Early 2018.
Ordered during the stream last week and scored a free shaker upgrade. Sweeeeeeet!!!
Gonna be rough & painful, waiting for this one. Soooo excited! I better see some Twitch streams from you punks in the earlier batches!!! ;P

from the Spooky email

NOW FOR THE GOOD STUFF...

Price on the game is $5,995. Initial payment is $1,000... YOU WON'T PAY A DIME MORE UNTIL YOUR GAME IS COMPLETE AND READY FOR SHIPMENT TO YOU!

I'm cool with batch 4, except I haven't gotten word back from Joe (pinballstar) as to which batch I was since I sent the initial deposit. Granted it was over the weekend and I just sent an email last night. I just don't want it to be pushed off because it was forgotten or anything like that. Waiting until early 2018 is far enough

Joe will get back to you. I went through pinballSTAR and got my number. In on the 2nd batch, hope to get it this year.

I know he will. Just anxious. It's our first NIB and my wife was like "I don't want to wait more than 6 months!" Don't twist my arm sheesh!

Don't worry. It's not if, but when. I won't make it past Texas if these are available for purchase on site and they will be.

Joe got back to me with #163! Sooner than I expected, in a good way! Sweet!

Bay Area represent! There will be one on location in Concord, CA at The Flipper Room.

drypaint Were you in one of the early batches? Would love to play it on location while awaiting my batch.

I wish... no, we are in early 4 I believe. Maybe late 3. Didn't get my official #. I will ask Kayte.

#146, batch 3. So, we may have it late this year. Nice!

Just found out my number is 152.

did you get the free shaker?

Yes maybe last one.

I'm getting the butter cabinet too.

Haven't played it, but sounds like it will have great quality of materials.

It would have been tempting to cut some costs like the individual score displays or beacon topper or laser cut rails etc..

I'm so glad for this pin, plus supporting Spooky and all his workers etc..,

While everyone wants less expensive machines, I don't mind paying for quality and you can see and hear the passion and hard work plus pure talent going into this pin.

Good for you rai, you're expanding the breadth of your game collection in a great way.

I can tell you now that this will make an appearance in this years "Horrorhouse Fest - Pinball Tournament of Death" if you're anywhere near Denver, Colorado....

My best guess is Scott has to sign each and every machine.

He deserves it.

So looking forward to TNA #136

Haha. I actuallyed emailed Kayte to ask if I could get his signature on my PF before it is cleared. Haven't heard back yet.

Given that Scott has designed the playfield, built and selected the mechanical components (mech. eng.), wrote the sw, and created all the sound effects and music, not to mention did all the early promotion work himself (blogs, streams, shows) until it had already garnered a fan base big enough for Spooky to be able to justify producing it, it is uniquely HIS game.

No other pinball machine in history that I am aware of was produced to this extent by one person's vision and talents. I would actually prefer if the official game name was "Scott Danesi's Total Nuclear Annihilation". That would look awesome on the backglass.

Failing that, I think he should sign every playfield under the clear, even if they have to charge a reasonable extra fee for doing so.

Hehehe... yep. +1

I can go without paying for a signature. Unless it's like a $1 in which case sign away I guess

I paid $40 for Flash Gordon's

Apologies in advance if this has already been answered, but is shipping included in the $5995? Whether straight from Spooky or through a distributor? This will be my first Spooky game and I'm very much looking forward to putting it in my lineup.

No, $5,995 is for the game, you pay for shipping if buy direct from Spooky. Can't say how it works with distributors, would have to check with them for any deal on shipping.

That's why I said "reasonable".

I'm going to have Scott sign my game , and I am going to take a picture of Scott signing my game . And I am going to have someone take a picture of me taking a picture of Scott signing my game .

I'm in!!!!

make sure you guys take the picture(s) just AS THE BEAT DROPS!!!!

trilogybeer - let me know if you need me to stop by and take a picture of Bryan taking a picture of you taking a picture of Scott signing your game.

As the embarrassed owned of two former toddlers, my suggestion is to turn off the video and only leave the music. If you think the screeching behavior is just because of the sound... LOL....you'll soon find out otherwise. Do yourself a HUGE favor and kill the screen time for the kiddos. You'll thank me in a few years when you aren't listening to them yell OH MY GAWWWWWD 20 times a day at the top of their lungs like some moronic youtube streamer, and repeating commercials constantly.

That's as far off topic as I'm going.

I need to be in batch 27. Hopefully sometime in 2020.

Never heard of this opportunity to get a shaker for free. I was told that my order number is around #32...am I a lucky one/what did people have to do to get a free shaker?

Had to order during a 5 min window when the last stream was on, there were 5 available (next five orders get a free shaker courtesy of Pinball Life).

Kind of annoying for the rest of us. I guess a "free" Scott Danesi signature under the clearcoat on my PF will make up for it.

Can I sign Bryan Kelly while he's taking the pic?

If I get a copy of this, I'm going to have Brad C (@jellikit) crop Bryan out

Some kind of human Centipede stuff

I think I might be in for a signature provided a witty personalized insult is included free or charge

What is the highest build number? I'm curious if they won't start a batch until 50 units sold?

I'm guessing if they are at # 180 ( i.e. middle of 4th batch) they won't start building that batch until it reaches 200 to fill up the 4th batch.

I'm guessing that by the time my number comes into play #152 that they will have filled up the 4th batch.

From post: #2407

Nope Charlie has already said that it won't happen like that .

Scott would be at the front so he has the best chance of surviving this signing/photoshoot.

Great

Had a chance to play this today. Great game !! Wish I could afford to buy one
