Wow!! Interesting watch. A number of games coming from Deeproot in 2019. No distributors either.
Thoughts ?
Shipping for £300 is very unlikely to happen as I doubt deeproot would mark there product down to £30 and risk it going missing or getting damaged also a very embarrassing scenario if it gets rumbled by customs
Could be very interesting if some quick thinking person in the states sets up a pipeline from them to the UK.
If you use one of the importing guys over on ukvac (300quid delivered to UK from us) and chance your luck with vat and if Brexit goes our way. Then you could end up getting a new pin for 4grand ish.
Might be worth taking a risk with no warranty.
Cheep but if the item got damaged or you never got here then would you get the full value of the pin backThe UKVAC shipping option works out to be closer to 1k for a NIB pin in the end . When I looked into it for TNA it was £395 including the shipping and VAT on items up to the value of approx $1500 if I remember correctly - then you have to pay an extra 20% of the difference between that and the value of the item.

From memory again but I think it was insured - either way I fortunately never had to find out thanks to the generosity of @philpalmer who kindly arranged for mine to be shipped over with his. I'd much much rather buy NIB from Phil regardless, have done several times in the past and sure I will again - organising it yourself just isn't worth the hassle.
From what I've read on Pinside deeproot are planning on engaging with distributors for sales but want to handle support totally in house so who knows how things are going to shake out - as Neil points out we have no idea what the product is going to be like so perhaps worth worrying about at a later point if they manage to put out anything decent.
Deeproot will either be legends forever or the laughing stock that will never been forgotten! Glad I’ll be in Texas to find out

So asshats that will never be forgotten - after all the bluster abkut pinball being easy blah blah blah - theyve out back their big launch! I’m hoping they have custard with their hunble pie!
The main thing for me is they haven't taken anyone's money so no real harm done by delaying.
