It's been a long time since the last update. Been a long time since we signed up back in November of 2004. It's been a long time since we parted with funds for this beast.

Please give a status report. I'm not looking for a hard date, but it would be nice to make plans. Having a delivery company call me to arrange a date 3-5 days out is not a good surprise, I travel a lot. Having a phone call saying I have 2 weeks to come pick it up is not good either. A little heads up would be nice. Pick a month and I'll arrange longer trips around it.

I'm not complaining or trying to second-guess what's going on. Just need some framing on when I can acquire the machine. Your understanding is appreciated.

Thanks and kind regards,

Jack

Here is an update from my last weeks (mid January) visit at IPB BBB warehouse:

I have pictures but it looks like just a big bunch of BBB in a room. The pictures LOOK basically like the same pictures I posted before (just different game numbers).

In the BBB warehouse I saw machines being tested and then ready to be boxed up. I met Fred's (The other guy) brother, he was testing machines. I counted over 50 BBB done and ready to be boxed up.

In the other room I saw a bunch of cabinets waiting for playfield installation. The cabinets were done (all board sets, brackets, coin door, etc) and were just waiting for a playfield. All the playfields are assembled and are lined up waiting to be installed.

I was told that it's costing Gene over $3000 over our $4500 price to make each BBB. ($7500). Wow!

They are working 7-days a week.

ETA? Well maybe the end of Feb. Just a guess based on what I saw.
