Have I missed something? I though we were still waiting for something specific - why do you think it's a month away? I hope you are right!
Cheers,

Thanks Robert, was getting worried there!
I appreciate the optimism though and hope Mike's sentiments turn into reality!

Well i think if it was a month away we would receive a letter preparing the shipping and requesting payments for any shipping.
As it will be a big logistic move, I am sure it will take more than a month to arrange.
I just hope they ship before ROHS hits Australia. |

I personally think it's about a month away as well. The post from the Texas festival had too much previously unpublished correct info in it to be fabricated. TOG even confirmed that there would be a game at the festival for people to buy. I think underestimating Gene at this point would be a mistake. Early April might just be a target, but I think it will be a darn good one! Nothing is in stone because of potential issues, but I'm still excited! I also know that Gene has already worked out who the shipping company is and how they are going to be picked up and delivered. You might also remember how much info was given to the people in Europe prior to delivery...

why can people buy one at Texas Pinball and we Payed 2 years ago
and have to wait
I understand Europe but not Texas or the one Darin Jacobs is selling.
They should all be shipped at the same time.
I know they are more expensive now but if we all did not pay up front there would not be any at Texas to buy?? |

Well I know this will start a flood of calls to Goergianne but..
A friend if mine call me on Monday to ask me if I got my letter.
What letter, I asked.
The letter from PMI telling me to set up shipping.
He did not provide any additional details so I called Goergie and asked her.
She said that Gene was meeting with a broker this week and that ALL deliveries would be handled through a broker.
She did not have details yet and asked me to call her next week.
BTW they WILL NOT consider bringing ANY of or games to TPF when they comedown.
They simply will not have any room.
She said we are VERY close but she did not know if they would be done beofre TPF in late March.
I would watch your mailbox for the next day or two before shooting a call off to Goergie. She simply does not have the details yet.
I have no more details on the letter my friend recieved.

Gene told me that there were a couple of extra Brass games for sale to anyone who wanted one for $12K. Maybe April 1 is later than we'll be getting them... With all of his cost overruns - More power to him!!!
