Quoted from Pinballlew:Yeah but they would ship it with special packaging. The important part would be, like they said, to open it up with the delivery driver present to make sure it arrived perfectly. I would probably stress out checking it.
What makes it different from shipping any other NIb? I'm going for regular cab.
Quoted from TigerLaw:Forgot to join the club thread. I'm in. Sent my deposit in last Friday. Waiting on my email with build number and what not.
Just got my email. I'm spot No. 174!
Quoted from Pinballlew:We're you or anyone else given a delivery guesstimate?
No. I did not ask. I'm happy any time in Q1 of 2018.

Quoted from thedarkknight77:Is their a headphone jack for this game? This music is too sick not to be able to play while wearing headphones. I have friggin watched the Ed stream 3 times, this is killing me! I need to play this game so I can place my order.
I remember from one of the videos that it does not have a head phone jack. Perhaps one can be added after market?
Quoted from Alamo_Pin:#183 ordered. Can't wait to start seeing y'all open up your games.
Congrats and welcome to the club!
Quoted from PinballSTAR:AND with another rabbit out of the hat - we are flying none other than the man himself, TNA designer, Scott Danesi in for the show to hang out in the PinballSTAR booth with the TNA and chat with everyone playing, explain the rules, and just be his awesome pinball genius self.
That is awesome! I really want to fly him out to Louisiana for our unboxing party when we get our game in.
Quoted from PinballSTAR:He literally said yes in 2 minutes - you just pay all expenses and he'll be there... He does require full security entourage, limo pickup at the airport, and a harem... Besides that Scott is awesome !
Sweet!!!! I'll reach out to Scott. Megatron the poodle can be his security entourage, he's tougher than he looks:
Quoted from PinballSTAR:Is that poodle really named Megatron ? If so I owe you a beer for that one ! Awesome
Yep, Megatron. He took a nap during lunch at work with me today.

Quoted from RefugeNate:I finally made the leap. Order #195! Getting close to that 200 mark. It came down to GB Prem, SW Prem and TNA. Wanted to get something a little different from my other Sterns (TWD, MET). Hopefully I made the right choice. Looks amazing!!!
Welcome to the club! I'm with you 100% in that the big draw being how different this was from the other games out there right now. From music to rules to layout this is a different animal and will fit in so well in our collections.
Yea, I'm surprised they are not over 200 yet. My guess is they end up running about 350 of these by the end of the run.
Quoted from dirkdiggler:Is $6995 still the price
$5,995, unless you get the butter cabinet then it is 7k.
Quoted from dirkdiggler:better
They are calling it a butter cab. I don't know, just a silk screen high res direct to cab print vs the standard decals I think. I'm just getting mine with the standard decals and saving the 1k for the other extras like knocker, pin gulp, PDI glass, shipping and what not.
Gosh I'm ready for my game! At No. 174 I have a ways to go.
Quoted from Pinballlew:Scott bringing his personal game to Expo....Man he really is Awesome
Anyone know if a TNA makes it to HAAG in Houston next week? Would be awesome.
Quoted from Rascal_H:So, does anytime know if Scott has other ideas rattling around in his brain or does this satisfy his designer itch
I am hoping the answer to that question is "no, no more ideas for now" till they are done with production. After the games are all made I'm hoping it's an "oh hell yes".
Quoted from Pinballlew:Why is that? I don't think Scott is building them.
True, but he is doing the code and what not. He's the man behind this project. I just think it would be ideal for him to keep all attention on the in production game. He said on K's podcast that was what he planned to do.

Quoted from HoakyPoaky:One of the most enjoyable things on early SS pins is watching the lighted bonus playfield inserts countdown & hearing the unique sounds at the end of your ball. Some bonus countdowns on games like Space Shuttle, Seawitch, Flash Gordon really execute this very well. It's just so satisfying to watch your ball bonus rack up your score after you drain. IMO that effect would fit perfectly with TNA.
This is a great idea. If you max the bonus countdown ala Quick Silver you could get a bonus destroyed reactor or something (destroy the reactor you were working on before you drained, might want to have the ability to toggle that off in settings). Would be awesome for max bonus.
Quoted from rai:I don’t know, if 10 made per week and 140 in front that sounds like 3-4 months from now
Are they up to 10 per week production? That’s awesome if so.

Quoted from Rascal_H:These are the extras you can add. I already sent a shaker and knocker to them. I’m probably going with plastic protectors and inner art as well.
They also offer mirror blades now instead of just the art. I'll likely go with the mirror blades given how solid the light show is.
Quoted from Pmaino:thenotrashcougar Any thoughts around adding an option to randomize the Reactor music? I know im not the greatest player in the world and if I'm only getting to reactor 2 on average per game it might be cool to have the reactor music play randomly instead of hearing just the same two over and over.
What is everyone's thought on this?
I’d like to see an option to have the music mixed up. I’ll never hear the later tracts without this feature.
Quoted from DS_Nadine:Isn't the Music repeating after reactor 3 anyway?!
I've read that each reactor has its own music, so there would be nine tracts?
Quoted from pintechev:Put down my deposit with Spooky tonight. Should know what # I am tomorrow. Very excited
Welcome to the club!
Quoted from crwjumper:Selling like hot cakes!
And well deserved. Congratulations Scott
Yep, at least three in one day! Not too shabby at all. I predict they will sell an extra 50 at TPF next March.
Quoted from adamgacek:Sarge and I thought TNA was too easy so we put in 4 glo balls for tonight’s games.
Hah! It kicked our ass even more than usual.
Video of that would be awesome!
Quoted from Pinzzz:39 President coins ordered. check!
Amazon doesn’t have these, not at the price you found anyway. Guess I’ll have to check out eBay as you did.
Quoted from StylesBitchly:Due to unfortunate circumstances, I have to sell my TNA spot of #189 for the cost of my deposit $1000.00 USD. I will take Paypal payment. PM me if interested
Sorry to see you go. Good opportunity for someone to jump about two months worth of line.

Quoted from Tsskinne:Mine went on location yesterday to get some test plays before it is used in the SCS tomorrow here in Indiana, my location is mostly locals at the bar/bowling alley and not really pinheads and they were loving the game, it was really cool to see. The game is going to Indy tomorrow for the tournament, back to Lafayette to be used at local arcade party 6th anniversary at night, then back to my location on Sunday.
Gosh, I wish we had an operator like you near me. Let us know how it holds up with all this packing and moving around and how many plays it gets along the journey.

Quoted from thedarkknight77:Scott, When are you going to start your next game?
Hopefully not until TNA has finished its run. I for one want his full attention on TNA (at least until number 174 has shipped).
Do we know how many TNAs have been ordered now? They were just below 300 when I last checked.
Quoted from unigroove:Spooky will run TNA for a long time. That's great. Keep in mind that it took Scott a couple of years to design this game. I rather have him start wihin a few months on the next one as it will take long enough to finish that. Spooky can continue building games in he mean time
All the same, I feel better knowing his full attention is on bug fixes, minor code upgrades, determining if parts are robust enough or need an upgrade, etc.
Everyone is always rushing off to the next best thing, I’m glad Scott has kept his full attention on the game being run to make sure it is the absolute very best it can possibly be.

Quoted from trilogybeer:My personal best .Started reactor 5 got it about halfway to critical . Learned a few helpful tactics watching Bowen play it in Texas .
Congrats! My guess is Scott’s comments about some new good stuff coming code wise is going to be to code around Bowen’s strategy to increase the risk of using it and make you move the ball around the playfield more to re-light the locks. So...those tactics may be but a temporary safe haven.

Quoted from ryan1234:#277? Spooky must have really turned up the production this week!
Either a butter cabinet or a location or show game is my guess.

Quoted from BladeFury:My TNA isn't here yet but I went ahead and ordered a Power Ball to be in on this new craze lol
Who’s got the best price on power balls? I need to get one ordered.
Quoted from 27dnast:Thanks! I thought about making a new thread about TNA mods. Hopefully it won't get lost in owners thread
I key post marked it for you to make it easy for people to reference back to if they don’t book mark the post.

Quoted from OnTheSnap:Put a sheet of stern HD glass on my TNA this weekend. Super nice improvement with a lot less glare/reflection. Not a bad $240 upgrade
Thanks for reminding me that I need to order another sheet of anti glare glass. I’ll get that on order today.
Quoted from Robertstone0407:Any info on why production is going so slow
Has there been an announcement of some kind that production is going to slow down? I have not heard that. We all know it will naturally slow down when ACNC goes on the line beside it.

Quoted from GorillaBiscuits:btw turning on the gamma function, reducing the brightness to 30 and the contrast to 100 really help with the monitor washout. I don't feel the need to replace it now, makes a big difference!
Good to hear. I will do this as well. Glad 169 is to you, 174 should be coming out shortly to me.
Quoted from TigerLaw:Good to hear. I will do this as well. Glad 169 is to you, 174 should be coming out shortly to me.
And...I got my shipping notification. No. 174 is in rout!
Congrats fnosm
My game has gone from Benton, to St Louis, to Memphis, and is now in Jackson. I’m nervous as heck about the shippers damaging it with so many stops along the way. Hoping to receive the game on Wednesday, would be awesome.
Number 174 arrived safe and sound and is amazing. Waiting for PavBall to get the first game in.

Quoted from Whysnow:cant wait for the next code update!!!!
I cant believe Scott is still updating it even more!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I’m somewhat behind on the thread. Code update you say? I really couldn’t envision any way to improve this amazing game.

Quoted from EasternBloc:Thanks for your time: internet, Pinside, tomdotcom and Scott!
I didn’t know you had a TNA. Welcome to the club! Hope to see you later this month in LC at the SC. We have a Sunday afternoon event planned the next day again.
Quoted from EasternBloc:I’ll be down for the sc.
Awesome! Bring the Mrs. again and stay for the Sunday festivities as well.
Quoted from EasternBloc:Oh yeah, been playing it since last fall and still haven’t seen #9!
Josh and I set TNA to four ball and finally beat it on a four player co-op. Ha!
Quoted from Cammy:Magfest 2020! We put ours on a balcony in the atrium!
That’s awesome! Where is that?
