WOZ owners delivery celebration thread!

Quoted from sven:
Still, it's not 'the governments' that 'get' the money: it's money that is or should be well spend by governments to build roads, give education, etc. (And mind: there's the word 'should': I'm not saying all money is spend well, but that's another story).

Hey Sven. You're a funny guy. What comedy club do you work at? I want to hear your entire routine. "Money well spent by the government." That's a good one. I can't stop laughing.

20% tax in the UK

Theres also import duty to pay for items over £630 in value. Its currently 2.5% for items up to £630, but would be much more for a pinball machine (5-9%).

So yes, we get analised by searing red hot spikes on every machine bought. (MOPLE is a $10,000+ machine here!)

Like I said: "it's money that is or should be well spend.."
Mind the words 'is OR should'!
Besides that: I think a lot of money is well spend by the goverment on some parts, but less well on other parts. I wouldn't want to think of how a first world country would become without any public education or any police (besides whether you think that those could perform better or not).

But besides that... it's always good to make people laugh... .

Back on topic (sorry about responding off-topic in the first place): it's great to see some people receiving their games and software getting a lot better!

Yep. Think its cost me around $10,500 for a $6500 machine. That's dedication for you!

Mine was delivered over a week ago, but I just got time to unbox it yesterday. I was a day 1 order. I updated the code to 1.08 and the game is really fun. There is a lot of stuff to do and the code isn't even finished yet. It may edge out TZ as my favorite pin.

BSavage, you are certainly welcome to come put a few games on mine some weekend if you would like to scratch the itch before yours comes in. I am in far north Carrollton, so to too far from Fort Worth.

To those commenting on the color of the powder coat, sorry cheap camera and crappy operator. Although I am color blind, in real life it is definately not black. It has some metal flake in it or something and looks very nice in person.

I got in a few more games this morning. The ball saver modes, especially the sepia mode that you can get from the left outlane, are really neat.

GREAT PICS!! And great looking collection. I'm really looking forward to finding one of these in Australia to play...I only think there's one at the moment. But I know there're a bunch on their way. A beautiful looking machine - CONGRATS to all who stuck with it.

Well if it makes ya feel any better, due to a really heavy travel schedule I had to advise Jen to hold off on shipping until the week prior to Father's Day. Otherwise I think mine would have been on the same truck as Coasterguy's or Gweem's.

We'll get it set up when the family is here to assist me, and then the next day I skip town again for another week.

Yaay me.

so apparently it is not near 10 a day, but does anyone know exactly how many are being produced. I am starting to get anxious/excited. Based on your number, it would appear about 30 a month or 1 a day which means I may not get mine for 3 more months. Bummer

Mine actually shipped last week. As far as the States are concerned, I'm about as far away as you can get. Plus, there was the holiday weekend. Jack posted somewhere that a truckload went out the day after mine shipped. I have the impression production is increasing. Jack acknowledged it would be slow to begin with but that there'd be an increase in machines finished as they got over the initial learning curve.
