I used to always play the Star Trek Next Generation pinball machine at my local shops years ago.
A few years ago I wanted a Space Invaders machine but I didn't have the space so I built my own.
It is half scale and has hundreds of classic games on it.
Not the real deal but still fun.

G'day everyone,....

Later I may get the table game Galaga.

I definitely want the Addams Family pinball machine!

How long did it take you to make you own?

My friend has an original Space Invaders table which I was trying buy from him until I built this.
Took me about 2 days to build.
Found some plans online for a full size one and just scaled it down.
All the electronics are for a full size one and I just crammed it all in.
The hardest thing was finding the screen the right size and correct aspect ratio.
It was a good project and the best thing is it is one ok a kind.

I finally got my UPS Tracking number.
Order processed on 9 Feb then no more updates.
Searching through the posts on the forum it seems UPS are slow at updating.
Does anyone know how long it should take to ship to Australia?
I have already paid for all import charges so I hope customs will be quick.
Thanks

Try putting your number into australia post tracker as well. Expecially once she enters the country as i have found overseas trackers suddenly stop updating while australia post keeps it current

Thanks
I did that and it accepted it, shows as Startrack.
Has no updates yet though.
Hopefully it will update soon so I can see when it will get delivered.
I want to make sure I am home to receive it.
Normally when I buy things from overseas I can track it all the way here.

UPS has finally updated the tracking and the delivery date is scheduled for the 21st.
Hopefully they stick to that as I have that day off. :whistle:

Welcome -A great doll you have selected and hopefully will arrive soon for you - just another view on the import duty - have now bought 4 into Australia, all from TDF vendors , with last 2 being a WM165 K cup and recently also a YD 160 - never had a customs issue with any and never been asked to pay any duty - maybe just lucky ??

She is sitting in Customs now and I hope that they release her tomorrow so I can get delivery by Wednesday.
Which Vendors have you used? Did they take care of paying Customs for you?
I was looking at the WM Dolls and was all set to get one but I ended up getting the 6ye as I liked what I read about the ball joint skeleton.
If this goes well I may like to get a Silicone doll one day as I didn't want to spend too much since this is my first doll.

You are going to be very happy! I'm not a Big tit man, its the legs an arse for this Bear, and your 161e has LEGS! When she stretches out, they are super sexy! I seem to be doin okay with the big boobs too, they are really, really nice! I could spend days with my head on her tummy, but Mitchy isn't having any of that!
