Re: ZIDWARE : John A. Popadiuk IS BACK
Le (ou des) problème(s) de l'export vers l'Europe, c'est la norme CE. Si c'est pour vendre un nombre de machine très réduit, il n'est vraiment pas sûr qu'un fabricant veuille entamer ces démarches.
Pour contourner le problème, une solution semble d'acheter la machine comme prototype.
Voilà par exemple une discussion à propos de bien autre chose.
https://www.linkedin.com/groups/CE-mark ... S.96700485
"I was wondering if the CE mark is mandatory for products which will be used as demo samples in Europe? Are demo samples without the CE mark allowed for importation in Europe for shows and testing? Is this only a customs issue or there is actually literature on the specific subject of demo units? »
"No it is not mandatory to have a product CE markt when you do not put them on the European market. If you ship your product into Europe you have to make clear on the papers that these products are not for testing or are proto types for evaluation etc. But for exibitions there are some rules who can be different for each country. On the exibition it should be clear that the product you show has no CE."

RE: PLAN OF ACTION FOR PURCHASERS OF MAGIC GIRL™, RAZA AND AIW
It is with great excitement, determination and love for pinball that has led me to pursue and find a possible solution that can be announced to you today. I want to take this opportunity to thank each and every one of you who believed in the magical designs that have been created. I acknowledge and appreciate the faith you have in placing deposits with Zidware, Inc. (“Zidware”) to deliver to you incredible machines that take pinball to another level. Thank you for your patience and support …this well-deserved update will give you a good idea of where we have been and where we are headed in the future.
First and foremost, my apologies for not being a better businessman. In the past, great success was accomplished by focusing on what I do best… design and artistic direction of games. The business mechanics were left to the executives at companies such as Williams and Bally. I did not realize what it entails to run a company and get a machine designed and produced from start to finish. At the rate that I have been going, bankruptcy would be inevitable absent some type of corrective action. Zidware no longer has the ability to get Magic Girl™ (“MG”) into production let alone Retro Atomic Zombie Adventureland™ (“RAZA”) and Alice in Wonderland The Pinball™ (“AIW”). A copy of current financials will be available evidencing the impossible predicament Zidware currently faces. Further, the delivery of machines to my customers who have placed orders and provided deposits has always been my primary concern and a responsibility that I take very seriously.
Therefore, I have sought out a solution to bring these games into production and to benefit all purchasers who have continued to believe in me. Apologies for the lack of communication, however it was best to find a workable solution first, rather than to string everyone along on false hopes. At this point I have a plan in place and therefore am taking this opportunity to share it with you. My hope is that with this solid plan, you, as a purchaser, will be supportive of this endeavor and remain patient and work with this plan to achieve the desired goal of producing MG, RAZA and AIW machines.
What is the plan and how will it help the purchasers of Zidware products?
In a call for help, one of my customers, a businessman specializing in the restructuring of companies, realized that there was no way Zidware could get this project over the finish line and into production. He was saddened by the fact that many would suffer a loss and it would be a black eye for the pinball industry and my reputation.
Over the last month or so, this individual and his associates have done extensive due diligence on Zidware to determine the best plan of action. They have assembled a team of professionals capable in bringing pinball machines to production under a new, unrelated company. I have granted this new company (“Licensee”) an exclusive license for MG, RAZA and AIW. They will then be able to take MG from its current state to the point of production, along with potential orders for RAZA and AIW. Once these machines are produced, the Licensee plans to continue and grow to become an industry leader in creative unique pinball design.
What can you expect next?
The Licensee is now underway to complete a master prototype Magic Girl™. An announcement will be made as to when this will be, however the goal is to have it ready in time to unveil at an upcoming show. From this point forward, information and progress will be provided by the Licensee as Zidware is no longer in control.
This group is currently in the process of negotiating with proven known quality manufacturers to get the games produced. As soon as this is contracted, purchasers will be notified and given a forecast of the timeline to complete development as well as release dates for final product. As it stands today, the anticipated timeframe until production of MG is approximately 2 years or sooner.
As for the other 2 games, art work will be under the Licensee’s direction and prototypes will be forthcoming. I have agreed to independently consult with the Licensee for continuity to complete the pinball designs for all 3 games. The timeframe until production of AZA and AIW product is 2 to 3 years post MG production.
I encourage fellow Pinheads to allow this team to help make these games come to life. The Licensee has already made significant investment in both time and money to get where we are today. They have acquired the licenses for these games not motivated by profit, but to make the designs a reality and forge a viable path for production of these products to Zidware customers. The only other alternative is that Zidware would be forced to file for bankruptcy, resulting in virtually nothing to the purchasers and none of the games that we have worked on all these years will ever be produced.
We need patience, positive input and support from you and all of Zidware’s customers. Once each purchaser has responded back with positive intentions, the Licensee will be formally announced and be able to continue to move forward. However if there are any clarification uestions regarding this letter or agreement, please do not contact the attorneys directly, instead you may send an email to: Magic Girl Info <magicgirl.raza.aiw@gmail.com>. The Licensee has already indicated that they will be opening the doors to share the progress with customers and welcoming everyone with open arms!
To be clear, there will not be any refunds as Zidware lacks the cash reserves necessary to return any customer deposits. The Licensee is here to create and build pinball machines and it is not responsible for Zidware’s liabilities. Nonetheless, working together, the Licensee will have the ability to produce machines and Zidware customers will be provided credits for deposits made. We are very lucky that the
Licensee started down this path to help the pinball community by trying to rectify this situation.
This is what we need in order for the Licensee to move forward, please take advantage of this opportunity and complete the attached agreement prepared by the attorney for the Licensee. This is what is required from you in the attached agreement in order for the plan to succeed:
1) Confirmation of your intent to complete the purchase of the ordered item(s) by executing and returning the attached agreement so that the Licensee does not expend resources for customers who may not wish to complete their order.
a. Magic Girl™ – original purchasers. The Licensee is already in talks with potential manufacturers to create a Magic Girl™–Collector’s Edition, limited to only 199 worldwide for those who have already purchased or provided deposits. This is first come first serve
as we will close off as soon as we reach 199 orders. Zidware deposits will be converted to credits dollar for dollar.
b. RAZA or AIW purchasers. For those who have placed a deposit on RAZA or AIW, the Licensee is allowing these purchasers to convert their deposits to credits towards:
i. Magic Girl™–Collector’s Edition ($15,995) – Limited to only 199 worldwide, this is first come first serve as we will close off as soon as we reach 199 orders. Zidware deposits will be converted dollar for dollar, 1:1 (eg. $6,500 deposit = $6,500 credits).
ii. Magic Girl™-Classic (TBD estimated at between $9,995 to $11,995) – We are offering a new edition of Magic Girl™ with all of the same functionality and quality, since the final product is yet to be finalized and we don’t have actual BOM, we can only provide the price range. Any customers interested in this option will have opportunity to confirm their purchase at time of release of actual price. Zidware deposits will be converted 1:2 (eg. $6,500 deposit = $3,250 credits) for this option.
Once you take delivery of your machine, you have an asset in hand and the ability to keep it or sell it for cash. You will also have the ability to sell your position. Should you wish to wait for the possible creation of a RAZA or AIW, that option is also available.
2) Agreement that you will not bring any action for money damages or specific performance against Zidware, the Licensee, the manufacturer, or any of their directors, officers or members during the earlier of:
(i) delivery of the product or
(ii) 4 years
This is what we need to move forward; we ask your cooperation to support us and allow Zidware to get the Licensee what is needed at this time. This is the only plan that will possibly get these machines produced. It is time sensitive as we need to move quickly or I will have no choice but to pursue a chapter 7 bankruptcy filing resulting in the liquidation of Zidware without delivery of any of the games and virtually no cash to Zidware customers.
This plan is for you, the Pinheads that want something that is a true work of art, quality built that can be treasured for years to come. I have now found the right business team that is dedicated to try to get my work to the finish line and into production. Help me to help you get what you came to Zidware for…a pinball machine that you will be very proud of to have in your collection!
To Our Success!

Re: ZIDWARE : John A. Popadiuk IS BACK
Il est fou, et il prend vraiment les gens pour des c..
(ou alors j'ai vraiment rien compris !!)
En gros :
Merci pour le fric, mais je ne vais pas livrer de flip, je suis nul en gestion, j'ai eu des réservations, je vais qd meme pas me faire chier à fabriquer un flip...
J'ai un super plan à vous proposer, je laisse quelqu'n d'autre fabriquer mon flip, et je lui revend la license.
Par contre, n'espérez pas vous faire rembourser pour ceux qui ne seraient pas content, moi je n'ai plus rien avoir avec ça..
Et puis bon si vous avez commandé pour 6500$, ba vous pouvez rajouter 10000$ si vous voulez voir votre flip dans environ 2ans, et magnez vous le cul car ce sera pour les 200 premier.
Pour les autres, je transforme miraculeusement votre réservation de 6500$ en 3250$, et vous n'avez plus qu'à alonger environ la meme somme que ci dessus, pas de jaloux.
Et pour les pas content, par ce qu'il faut bien des râleurs, j'ai déjà dit que je ne rembourserai pas, c'est la vie...
Ah j'ai oublié, merci de me signer une décharge au cas ou on met 4ans et non pas 2ans pour vous livrer, on ne sait jamais...
J'ai peut etre pas été très précis dans ma traduction, mais bon on comprend les grandes lignes

Re: ZIDWARE : John A. Popadiuk IS BACK
C'est parfait, tout y est, ou presque. Une petite précision : Il y avait 3 modèles (MG, RAZA et AIW) et que seul Magic Girl sera produit pour l'instant, en version LE (199 exemplaires) à $16000, ou en version "regular" dont le prix n'est pas encore fixé, quelque part entre 10 et 12000.Saito a écrit : J'ai peut etre pas été très précis dans ma traduction, mais bon on comprend les grandes lignes
Pour ceux qui avaient réservé MG, ca ne change pas grand chose.
Pour ceux qui avaient déposé de l'argent sur RAZA ou AIW, ils peuvent le convertir à taux plein sur MG LE, ou en perdant 50% de leur investissement sur le regular. Ou alors le laisser au chaud en espérant que ces deux machines sortent un jour (passage par Lourdes obligatoire pour y allumer un gros cierge).
Non, c'est bien ça. Je rajouterais Escroc et Bouffon incompétent. Il aura quand meme englouti plus d'un million d'euros de pré commande, et 4 ans plus tard n'a toujours pas montré un prototype jouable. Et n'a pas payé pas mal de ses fournisseurs, donc laisse une ardoise conséquente que le repreneur (inconnu mais j'ai ma petite idée) n'assumera pas.Saito a écrit :Il est fou, et il prend vraiment les gens pour des c..(ou alors j'ai vraiment rien compris !!)

Re: ZIDWARE : John A. Popadiuk IS BACK
Quelle claque ! et Quelle nouvelle !
le RAZA devait être livré pour fin 2014..
a noté les 99 exemplaires standard + 25 édition limitée "coin taker".
certain ont déja donné 10k et même le paiement final
j'avais eu l'occasion d’échanger avec John lors du pinball expo a propos du RAZA et tout semblait fonctionner pour le mieux ! il manquait juste le plateau lors de la presentation..
le chapitre 7 , ce serait la fin pour lui, personne n'imagine cette mauvaise nouvelle, ce serait la liquidation complete de Zidware tout comme Illinois pinball..
peut etre qu'il lance un message pour demander de l'aide (stern & co) pour y arriver?
il a l'air d'etre tout seul pour faire MG, RAZA, AIW depuis que Ben Heck a fait son chemin
une chose m'echappe :comment Ben Heck a réussit étant débutant dans ce genre de projet a produire et concevoir America's most haunted (d'ailleurs tout les exemplaires ont déja été vendus)
Je pense simplement qu'il a la volonté de réussir mais seulement y arrivera t'il tout seul? car il a du talent

Re: ZIDWARE : John A. Popadiuk IS BACK
Tu oublies juste le Hobbit dans cette liste... certains l'ont commandé en 2012.Crrispy a écrit :Ca fait longtemps qu'on a prédit que ce modèle de précommandes allait vite s'effondrer. Au fait ça en est où les Nemo, Predator, TBL, Alien, etc?...
D'ailleurs, où en est la cavalcade de JJP ? Ah, oui, d'ailleurs encore un nouveau délai : maintenant on en est à Aout pour le début de la production.
Et ce brave Jack nous affirmait que le Hobbit devait sortir en même temps que le 3ème film de la trilogie par "obligation contractuelle" selon ses propres dires. (film initialement prévu été 2014, finalement sorti en Décembre 2014).

Oui, les 5-6 premiers mois de retard du film ça tombait bien, mais ça n'a pas suffi
Et effectivement, ça passe, l'ouverture des précos était en Novembre 2012! Mais au final, au moins, il livrera.
Fear of the dark, fear of the dark, I have a constant feeling someone's always near...

Re: ZIDWARE : John A. Popadiuk IS BACK
Un petit update, histoire de rire :
Les mauvaises nouvelles:
- Le site web de JPop http://pinballinventor.org n'est pas back... en fait, c'est devenu une coquille vide, avec juste une page d'accueil. Sans doute dans l'attente d'une révélation majeure ?
- Facebook a été méthodiquement nettoyé. Peur d'un procès ? ...
-... parce que les grandes manoeuvres ont commencé, certains ont osé déposer une plainte au civil contre John A. Popadiuk.
Les bonnes nouvelles:
- Magic Girl était plus avancé que prévu. Un prototype jouable devrait être présenté très prochainement. Le gars qui a codé le jeu est en Angleteterre, et évidemment Jpop lui doit plusieurs mois de salaire.
- Un repreneur s'est manifesté, en la personne d'un millionnaire Canadien, Bill Brandes. Le chevalier blanc a reporté l'ultimatum auprès des acheteurs au 30 Juin. La déclaration officielle:
"Pintasia is a newly formed company set up to bring the best talent in all necessary facets of pinball to produce extraordinary games ready for production:
• Business Development - Bill Brandes: business restructuring, real estate holdings, commodities, investment fund
• Finance & Operations - Sabrina Wei: investment banker, business consultant, Deloitte & Touche alumni
• Art Design - Zombie Yeti, artist for MG, RAZA and AIW
• Technical Support - Jim Martin, service and support for machines
• Consultant* (Game Design) - John Popadiuk, Zidware Inc.
• Legal Counsel (USA) – Jordan Litwin, Meltzer, Purtill & Stelle LLC
• Manufacturer – TBD, must be proven quality manufacturer
• Programmer – TBD, must have experience with deep rule sets
* John Popadiuk is strictly a Consultant, he has no interest in Pintasia and does not make any business decisions. His role is strictly defined as artistic design for the completion of the 3 machines in progress."
La nouvelle société Pintasia s'occupe de tout, et a déjà obtenu les rampes plastiques nécessaires à MG... Cela dit :
La suite des mauvaises nouvelles
- Evidemment Pintasia n'a pas la moindre expérience dans l'assemblage de flips - l'hypothèse est de trouver un accord avec un fabricant (TBD veut dire : "to be determined" ce qui signifie "je cherche, je finirai bien par trouver...".)
- A la tête des finances de cette boite, la sulfureuse Sabrina Wei, déjà impliquée dans plusieurs escroqueries présumées... http://pastebin.com/DE1knCKH
- Visiblement notre chevalier blanc n'a peut être pas fait preuve d'un grand discernement dans le choix de ses associés, mais il était peut être plus occupé à participer à des émissions de télé-réalité (Millionaire Matchmaker http://www.bravotv.com/the-millionaire- ... di-cornell). C'est un truc genre Greg le Millionaire, franchement ca ne s'invente pas.
De l'action, de l'aventure, des personnages hauts en couleur, des procès, des règlements de compte : mieux que Dallas, Jpop !

Je recherche un Stern WPT, Williams Defender, Williams Cosmic GunFight, Elbos Genesis ou Zaccaria Locomotion.
