Title: Nice Top Box, But...
Post by: cowboygames on August 02, 2012, 02:35:19 AM
This is a nice looking top box for someone wanting to build a game, but $250 for shipping is freakin' robbery!!

Rob  The only thing I've ever seen come out of Bakersfield is Tanker Jankers and wore out hookers.  ( not one of my favorite city's )

the best anyone will ever do with these parts is make a giant paper weight out of them.  he has the glass kit for sale also. software????  not so much... even if by some miracle you could find the chips, it still wouldn't work with out the ccom to connect to.  this is like buying a nuclear aircraft carrier minus the nuclear reactor

Actually, stand alone chips ARE available for this game, it's one of the few that can be built and used at home. That's why bidding on the glass is so high already. Top box price, like I said, will probably end up pretty reasonable as there are many out there who have that much and just need glass and strips to finish. The shipping price is over twice actual cost though and that's the bummer on this item

Buzz, I know what you mean. Been through Bakersfield a bunch when we used to go to Vegas all the time back in my CA days. They did have a nice McDonalds though

Correct me if I'm wrong but didn't this guy post a classified for this game a while back looking for something for it?. Those pictures look familiar.
