Check is in the mail, just waiting for confirmation email. I was told somewhere in batch #3
TNA rules! Both definitions 
Added over 7 years ago: UPDATE: Confirmed spot #104 today
South Burlington, VT
Quoted from rai:Are any of you guys getting the butter cabinet?
Yup.
Someone in another thread said fourth batch. If so, that's incredible for Spooky. It's only been on sale for a couple days.
Sounds like a success!

I hope it's a great success for Scott and Spooky. Glad to support a new company that ships games and truly appreciates it's customers. I've bought several from Stern and honestly believe they didn't give a darn about me besides my money.

Charlie stated on Twitch tonight that they had passed America's Most Haunted (150) in sales. I hope they make it much further!

I'm glad the didn't go down the 300-500 limited edition path so if this is a hit maybe it'll sell in significant numbers.
500 would be great don't get me wrong but the sky's the limit.
I guess I'm in the club now. Deposit is in. I can confirm at least 150 because I'm in batch 4. Really excited about this one. Game looks great and the story behind it is pretty cool. Scott and Spooky folks truly seem like good people.
Quoted from FatPanda:I'm putting down a deposit today. Can't wait for this beast!
what took you so long

Nice job!
We wanted to be in a later run, so it was kind of planned. I didn't expect it to go to run 3/4 so early (Awesome news for Spooky and Scott) and the Mrs didn't want to wait more than 6 months for our copy, so she was like "TAKE MY MONEY NOW!" I couldn't say no

And prunes.
Quoted from Aurich:KT just confirmed my check arrived at Spooky,
Same here!
Lucky number...

"In like Flynn" as of Weds! Just waiting for my check to be received and official number assigned.
Having the Thursday stream exceed my prior expectations was extra sweet indeed!
Quoted from NeilMcRae:102 here
how quick do spooky build?
I'm in no rush as have no space at the moment.
10ish a week I think? I figure 2-3 months after they start building mine will be ready. If it's not exactly that I'm not stressed though.
Quoted from hocuslocus:did they say when they were going to start production? I'm sure it's listed somewhere.
They haven't said.
Quoted from GhostThruster:They haven't said.
Quoted from hocuslocus:did they say when they were going to start production? I'm sure it's listed somewhere.
All they've said is "before the end of the year", though Charlie mentioned that we may be pleasantly surprised on the stream last night.
Wild speculation time:
I predict they start manufacturing TNA in early Sept. and the that the first 50 are shipped at Expo in mid October. 
Quoted from Crile1:How did you get a number? I was just told what batch I'm in.
did you order from spooky or a distributor? if directly from spooky, give KT a couple days to get caught up and then just email her [email protected]. she will be happy to help.
When I placed my order KT said she could figure out exactly what number I was if I really wanted to know... I didn't really care, I just wanted to know what batch (#3) as I figured I was either in the high 90's or low 100's when I placed my order early Tuesday morning. I don't think any of this really matters too much (other than things will slow down at some point when AC games start being built) after Charlie explained how the batching is going to work.
Quoted from pinghetto:I found my topper to go over the beacon.... HOT Pinball Action.. 80's style!!
You must have a really tall ceiling.
I hear that topper also has some added bonus features of swearing at you with middle fingers in the air if you don't replenish it every four minutes with Spotted Cow.
Im in Game #6 and it will be at AYCE Gogi here in So Cal...coordinating dates with Charlie for a Launch party and Tournament
Quoted from onceler:after Charlie explained how the batching is going to work.
Are they going to alternate 50 of one game with 50 of another? Do you think they will change their mind on the build process now that they have had such a big response? Initially Scott said they were hoping to sell 50. They are way beyond that now. I know he was being humble, but I think this response is blowing up their expectations....in a good way.
With TNA getting so many orders in such a short amount of time I'd say they undoubtedly push AC back as long as they can to work code and make little tweaks to make it a more complete game so it ships nearly complete.
Rob Zombie has been a work in progress for a long time and I suspect atleast a couple more updates judging from Fawzmas posts. I just want more folks to continue to order TNA so I can jump on one in the coming month months
Yeah, if TNA keeps momentum, they may hold AC back so they are not competing against themselves. Plus there is a similarly themed game that may be in production at Stern. AC and E3 seem like the same genre. For me, the longer the better so they can get those batches out. It's going to be a painful wait to the 4th batch. But the good kind of pain.

Did they give you a rough timeline on when they expect to get to the 4th batch?
Quoted from davijc02:Did they give you a rough timeline on when they expect to get to the 4th batch?
Someone posted batch 4 wouldn't be til early next year
No time frame. But when they made Rob Zombie they projected 12--18 months to make 300 games. Not sure how long it really took. So i am using that as an estimate. But looks like they are really close to final production/shipping at the present.
