Wow, I can't wait to see your SW Set. Sounds like it will have a great deco.

I know you are probably chomping at the bit
Still busy at work I’m there now
The box showed up scuffed and very dusty. Sellers pretty much always ship in the retail packaging so not the best chance of getting a Minty one, Shawn.
I built the riser first and then the cabinet.
I got it together by 10:00 last night played it once and went to bed.

Like a monolith before me, it stands.
I tried to be skeptical with this, my Katana of a purchase, after only one round of easy mode Star wars arcade last night but after playing a few rounds when I got home today, I am not only hooked but a bit mesmerized by how much it reminds me of playing the real thing. I am literally taken away in the same way the Astroids Deluxe game does to me. It’s like I’m replaying a memory of a moment that occurred over 35 years ago.
Darth More, it’s actually 3 grandkids, all boys, and only 2 of them have seen only one machine as of yet. Imagine when they step into a room full of them.

Daggone that looks nice Clint. So cool. Off to share to the front page while I try to come up with excuses for not getting one myself.

I did get my graphics set a couple of days ago for Astroids deluxe but haven’t had time to get anything applied yet. They look good and the colors match. I will put on the top two front panels first. I have the front mocked up for the one shot

Wow, you kicked these up a few notches. That front panel just looks awesome!

I am so envious. so envious. I so want to do something like this, but don't have the space. If I can get my act together and thin out some of my collection that ain't my focus I am gonna so do some of this. I wish I lived closer. On second thought, maybe its better I don't cause I would probably already have bought these.

Off to the front pages. Thanks for getting this out and showing us Clint.

I didn't know they even had even minier versions too. Here is Centipede:

Yes, the countercades look pretty cool as well. Made of the same durable stuff as the cabinets I hear.

Your sit down Star Wars cabinet just went up for pre order last night.

I thought I heard tell that they might offer one in ESB deco but with the same games. I also heard they may offer the chair by itself also, as an add on for the stand up owners like me.
