So how many pinsiders picked this up? I'm betting over thirty. Just list your confirmed number. I'm 35.

I doubt we will have anywhere close to 30 Pinsider's who pre-ordered this.
That said, I'm number 19.
Quoted from RobT:I'm number 19.
I'm right behind you with #20. I wonder how close we were to placing our order at the same time. According to my PayPal receipt, the transaction went through at precisely 01:16:29 CST.

I was a little after 10 p.m. pacific on Thursday night (the 16th).
So it was a few hours later that you bought yours.

Gotta say this was the closest ive ever felt to committing to the whole site unseen pre-order thing....the theme is right up my alley and the whole hype and fantastic job on the website very nearly had me.
If not for the fact that ive still got atleast 4-5 must have pins on my want list i think i would have commited but considering i can get my Fish Tales,Whitewater and Scared stiff for around the same price,i just couldn't do it.
Hopefully in the future one of you guys will sell me one

It sounds like you were actually a little over an hour ahead of me. Isn't 10 PM PST the same thing as Midnight CST?
Quoted from iceman44:I'm in.....no number yet, put it in last night....
You must have just made it in under the wire.

Yes, you are correct.
Quoted from iceman44:Thanks RobT! Couldn't let you guys have all the fun.....
Well, it's not going to *all* be fun. There will be some bitching and complaining along the way, especially since I suspect that we will be waiting for quite some time to get our pins.
As Docscott said in another thread, misery loves company, so we can all bitch together! 
Quoted from VegasAlleycat:I'm lost--what is this for?

Very true! I'm used to waiting with WOZ though, maybe these guys will be able to move faster since they have ironed out the kinks on MG

Is Ben involved with MG? This has always been unclear to me.

Not to this point...
Quoted from StevenP:Dunno; beggars can't be choosers. I'll take whatever number I'm given!
So you paid your $750.00 deposit?
If so, congrats!
Quoted from kmoore88:Looks like the reference to a limited # of 99 has been removed from the web site and PayPal order is still active....
I'm glad that they removed that. It was misleading since there are at least 124 being made with the CoinTaker version included.
I wonder how having the LCD on the back panel will work out? Suggests there won't be any ramps going back there to block the view. I like the idea but it seems it would limit (significantly?) how much can go on the PF.
Quoted from RobT:So far we have a total of 10 Pinsider's who've ordered ZA. 11 if StevenP placed an order.
WOW!! I know Pinside is a popular site, but that is an amazing amount of orders from the members here. This place is getting to be a force, as far as maybe having some real influence on what gets produced.

I'm thinking it may just give an active changing backboard. So, the foreground would blend in around it. Just speculating of course.

I was thinking the same thing. Although I love CV, it has a pretty basic playfield, all to accommodate the DMD. Either way, I think this game is going to be amazing. John P is amazing one of the best artist/visionaries in the pinball game. I was excited about WOZ, but I now find myself not even caring about it..............I cannot stop thinking about these zombies! You guys who are going in on this are awesome and I am jealous!

Pinside sure is!

Could be. I hope it's more than that tho. Personally, I'd like to see heavy video mode integration with PF ball action. I know some of the pin purists don't like that, but it would be a big plus to me.

Screw em . I'm with you. 
Quoted from badbilly27:Screw em . I'm with you.
I agree, as long as it's done properly, there is always room for video modes. Fish Tales comes to mind of how to do it the right way.

+1
I always liked IJ video modes. Well integrated into the gameplay and theme... and not too disruptive.
Looks like this one will be pretty cool, but I am going to have to watch from the sidelines on this one. Congrats to those who are in...!

Nope, it's still there... or it's back. The pre-order page is showing "sold out".
Either way they're still stating 99 units and treating the Cointaker version as a separate entity to be sold by the Marquettes themselves.
A least that gives a little bit of hope for those that missed the original pre-order. I wonder if Cointaker is taking orders for theirs yet?
Where did you guys see 25 units for this version? I didn't see anything on the site.
Any of you guys that bought this pin concerned about the availability of parts? I know I'd be concerned about broken plastics or ramps if I owned one. Do they offer the option to buy some parts when you purchase the pin? I only ask, since the production numbers are so low and it sounds like they are making a lot of their own parts.
Quoted from Honch:Any of you guys that bought this pin concerned about the availability of parts?
Not really, I'm going to go to the JPOP pinball school and figure out how to make the entire pinball machine myself! Well I hope and assume they have a plan for this.....
Quoted from Honch:Any of you guys that bought this pin concerned about the availability of parts?
I just figured the game is disposable. You play it until it breaks and then move on to something else ...
99 pre orders in 3 days. They got 99 people to commit to giving them 1 million dollars. That's impressive for them and I for the life of me can't figure out how any average person can afford these. Any of these people that ordered married? I know 10k for a pin sure as hell wouldn't fly in my house
