Good idea. Jack....when are you coming down to Australia to sort this out man to man and explain to your Australian customers WTF went wrong?

You seriously don't want us to start listing all the completely F'd up things that have happened in the USA or come from the USA do you? Terrorism, countless school massacres, slavery, KKK, abducted kids that are imprisoned and kept as sex slaves, countless reality TV shows that are nothing but rubbish, the Kardashians and I am sure the list can go on and on and on. ;o)

So what do you suggest?

I can't think of a better way actually. I am unsure if the machines will sell at RRP either but the group knows who paid what. That figure gets converted to a %'age or entitlement. When all machines are sold off, each person gets an agreed amount that corresponds to the amount they initially deposited. Each of the 79 get an opportunity to buy one of the machines and I am sure if there aren't enough machines to go round, some sort of raffle will be held to determine who gets the opportunity to buy a machine. Seems quite straight forward this end, the guys just need the machines to sell or at the very least, some sort of update evidenced by pics as was agreed and promised by JJP.

Oh dear, obviously you don't understand or realise tongue in cheek humour.

We are making our own pinball machine by the way which WILL be released in 2015.

As for how each country came to exist, well you see it all started many years ago - it is called the Big Bang Theory - actually that is something good that you guys have produced. Love the show.

Seriously mate, take a chill pill, get your facts correct and enjoy the 4th. Once again it is Ok for you guys to sling some dirt at us Aussies but you can't handle getting some in return. At least some guys have a sense of humour.

You say you fought for your country, who is one of your strongest and most loyal allies? I must admit, I love your passion for your country, you guys do it very well. On the flip side, how about you realise that we Aussies also take pride in our country and if you dish some dirt on us, expect to get some back.

This is a Pinball Forum, how about we get back on topic??

Some of you guys are seriously proving yourselves to be dicks. Go back through the thread and you will see there was a map of Australia posted first which if heavens forbid was posted on Australia Day I would have taken great offence to. As most with some sense of humour would do, I retaliated with a post outlining some of the USA's somewhat dubious history and/or events. Bugger me, suck it up, just like Eddy Murphy's farting game...yeah you got me and I got you back. End of story and let's go get a beer.

As for Justin Bieber, I actually thought he was Canadian so I didn't mention him but since you bring him up......WTF!!!!

For a hobby that is supposed to be good clean fun for everyone, it certainly is F'd up at times.

I suppose you are half right. An Australian company has their factory in China where all of their R&D and production is taking place. Unfortunately it is cheaper for them to run their business this way. I think you will find also that they are making all of their own parts from top to bottom and everything in between.

My last post on this topic as well. Have a look at that map of Australia and you will see things listed as derranged gunman, backpacker murders to name a few. I took offence to this and as such, returned fire. Eye for an eye and all that. Civility works both ways. Someone puts crap on my country and I will defend it. I don't recall anyone of you guys saying that the Aussie map post was in bad taste but when I defend my country I am the worst in the world. It is unfortunate that any of this stuff has taken place in either of our countries - we both have our issues which cannot be denied but clearly that is not for discussion on a pinball forum.

I agree enough has been said and it is not relevant to pinball anyway but pleeease, do something with that little brat Bieber for all our sake.

Have to agree. I don't ever recall anything close to this happening with Stern. The biggest gripe people have with Stern is code updates which have always happened in the long run. Stern have a very solid distributor here in Australia as well whom I can't say a bad word about after numerous dealings with them. I spose you can't beat knowing who's who in the pinball market and experience.

Looks like a step forward at the very least for the WOZ group. All the best guys.
