Im not one to hype....

Ooooops. The rest of you are too late. They've sold out.

[Firewire]

My luck would be they only had one and they didn't get it taken off quick enough after you bought it!

Guess we'll see. I was able to purchase before it went to out of stock.

I can't seem to find any info on the Giga Fever off Sankyo's website.

I found the old link, but all the images are dead.

Giga Fever

[gwarzin]

UN-F%$#ING believable!

I won't know if this is true until the numbers actually get into the FedEx system later tonight, but I ordered the Giga Fever from pachislo.com at 2 PM this afternoon. It is now 4:30 PM and I have just received an email containing the FedEx tracking number saying that the machine has shipped.

[Firewire]

I got mine too, but the fine print said it may take 2-3 days before shipment.

I am not getting my hopes up until Tuesday for an actual ship date.

I am just ecstatic I got one!

[arbycoffee]

Let's do the Go Baby Go!

[gwarzin]

the fine print said it may take 2-3 days before shipment.

I think that fine print is left over from the original order. If you look on the first email they sent you, you'll see it there. In the past, they've only sent me tracking numbers when they have the machine ready for that day's FedEx pick up. I think there's actually a slim chance that I'll see this before Christmas. It should take 4 days. That would put it here next Thursday.

[Firewire]

Lets hope!

[Firewire]

Your right Gary!

They did ship yesterday (same day as purchased).

My scheduled delivery is on 12/22 (Wed.)!

[gwarzin]

My number was in the FedEx tracking system this morning. Mine's scheduled for delivery on the 23rd.

My wife loves the fact that it will be here before Christmas. That way it counts as one of my Christmas presents. I think she's just getting even. I just bought a Dyson vacuum cleaner and told her that it was one of her Christmas presents (I'm still limping from the bruise on my leg where she kicked me.)

Bet I'll have the biggest box under the tree. :grin:

You are lucky you still got the twins, Never give a cleaning tool to a woman for Christmas, I think in some states it is grounds for devorce.
Or at least justified mansloter, you need to them useless things, don't think as a man, think as a woman, cute junk.
I tried to give my wife a new van for her birtday, I thought it was very nice of me, I found out it was in her mind a tool for her to run for things.
a $20,000+ tool, I should have gotten her some roses.

[gwarzin]

I just read her your comments. She's still laughing.

[Tulsa]

Give a woman, what every woman loves, a shopping trip! Shopping for Christmas around my house is simple. I go to the mall, to her favorite stores and buy gift certificates. It's all she ever wants and I always get lucky at Christmas. :wink: She's going to take that crap you do buy her back anyway, just let her pick it out to start with.

[arbycoffee]

I like that an empty shopping bag and say go fill it.

[Lddrizzt]

She's going to take that crap you do buy her back anyway,

Even if she picks it out, hands it to you, and tells you to buy it for her for xmas. By the time xmas rolls around (and that could even be the next day), you will be accused of not getting the one she handed to you, or some such thing. After all we are just men, what do we know :smt102

I had gotten a bar top video poker machine IGT, one game only. Cleaned it up and showed it to her, she liked it and started to pay it alot, Well I found a dealer who would sell me Igt PE with five games, no bill accepter and set for $1 tokens (and a full set of Payoff % chips). the only draw back was the machine is really big, so I gave it to her early and have fun clanging chips, some day she a big winner (happy dance), other days she loose her pants. my present. :lol:

DGI emailed me today and said they plan on putting more Giga Fever's up for auction soon.

Get the wife a gym membership, she will love that :lol:

The Twins would be ripped out to the roots

Merry Christmas to me... Merry Christmas to me...

I just received my Giga Fever. It's hard to believe. I ordered it on Friday at about 2 in the afternoon. Syscom had it shipped out that day, and FedEx delivered it today, a day earlier than their estimated delivery date. That would be pretty good service any time of the year. The fact that it was done during the Christmas rush is amazing.

Now I just have to figure our where I'm going to put it. Maybe I'll just stick it under the tree, and worry about a permanent home next week.
