Sent out an email. I hope there are pre orders left! I've been looking to buy my first pin and can't believe I didn't know this was in the works. Glad I found out before I pulled the trigger on something else!
Here's another one of these posts... Just finished with my emails again, so if you sent me something and I didn't reply, please send again. Thanks!

Quoted from spfxted:How about this for a magnetic ball grab?
A magnet would be epic surprise for us indeed! There hasn't been anything mentioned about it to this point but it would be one sweet addition for sure.
With all the features being put into pins these days one without any magnets or multiple cool interactive features may seem a bit dated. They do have the post diverter (probably needs a bit of refinement per videos) and the lock grab but I'm hopping they a a few more tricks up their sleeve for us.
Any chance we can get Predator added to the Pinside database? WoZ and even X-Men are in there already.
Yup...haven't gotten many updates lately. I'm assuming this means that the Skit-B guys have been super-busy lately!
Would love to see some art samples, or some other informational nugget!

Very cool.
I say we give them the time they need to get it right. Such an awesome theme and concept would hate for anything to be rushed. So much excitement surrounding pinball right now! 
As far as payment, I think I remember Kevin saying they'd take the first half as your game was next in line, and then the second half upon completion.

Are these still available? I tried the website and couldn't find a link anywhere to ask about purchasing.

That and an under PF trough.
I received a response from Robin and forwarded on all the necessary information. We should have Predator in the database shortly!
Yes! Kevin....a teeny weeny tiny peek at some PF item/art? A pic...heck, even a hand drawn sketch of something we don't know about yet? C'monnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

As they have said, as soon as they have something polished enough to show they will share it with us. It's crucial for them to get this right so I am more then willing to give them some time to iron out the details and make this a bad ass pin. They are still shooting for late Summer early fall to start building them so I imagine they are working their buts off trying to add features and software to the pin and get it rock solid. Take your time to make sure you get this first project right Skit-B.
Best of luck to you and the team Kevin we are pulling for you all to make this an epic pin!

Agreed, give them time to do what they gotta do. No point in rushing a project with so much potential for greatness. I wouldn't be disappointed if they pushed back the estimated release 6 months if it meant a badass final product. Getting the game ready to have something to show is more important than showing it at this point.
Funny, I am out of town and got the itch to watch Predator last night. I don't have my copy with me, but thought it was on Netflix on-demand. I looked, but no Predator! I was dismayed, so I turned to the tv on to see what else was on and boom, Alien vs Predator! Not quite the same, but it took off some of the sting.

I'm sure since this a small production late summer into winter is probably highly optimistic. I wouldnt be surprised if it ends up being late summer early winter of next year. A prime example is the woz pin, look how long its been, and these guys don't have the man power jersey jack has. As someone else said, I don't mind waiting either, with the rise of new pin prices I respect and appreciate what the skit b team is offering us at a great price with an awesome theme. Sounds like a win all the way around no matter how long the wait is in my opinion. This is gonna be one bad ass pin.

Fortunately it looks like Predator may actually be further along than WOZ, playfield art (applied) aside. This should give them plenty of time to sort out the finer details.

I dont think anyone is rushing them or even hinting at rushing. Just a few people asking for a peek at some art. I agree with everyone on this page of the thread Kevin you and your team take your time and make us one heck of a pin, but give us a teeny weeny peek at the art pretty please 
Not trying to rush anyone, but I emailed for info and haven't heard back so I assume they are busy. Anyone know if these are still available for pre-order?
This is also their first pin so mega important to get it right and ensure nice quality control re plastics/playfield/decals etc.
Happy to wait. No point rushing - it has to be kick ass!!
Quoted from spfxted:and probably won't be ready till mid next year.
I doubt this based on their progress on the project and information they have provided thus far. Also, another thing to think of is they may need to get this pin out in or near their time frame for financial reasons. Either way, they appear to be highly motivated and as of right now I don't foresee initial production being put off until next year. That said, I do hope they take the time to ensure this is the best it can be.
Heard a rumor. Crud...I shouldn't even be typing this since it is not confirmed. Ok...ok...remember just a rumor I heard...a guy I work with who claims to be, "connected" in the pin scene.
The Predator theme we have all come to respect and await...may be getting replaced. The market may be a little to, "Soft" for that type of theme after all. Behind closed doors and totally"TOP SECRET" mode, is some new replacements theme art styles based on Beanie Babies. It is expected that no fewer than 30-50 individual Beanie Babes will occupy each PF. So, depending on which ones you get, you may very well end of with a collectors item before the first ball ejects out on to the table
Lol. jk...I hope I did not tick off too many folks with this silly post
Quoted from spfxted:I agree...this should not be rushed and probably won't be ready till mid next year.
Love that Duck Hunt gif.
We are still alive, but the emails have been lacking attention as of late. I always appreciate the words of encouragement, as well
It should be noted that while I haven't gotten around to my emails just yet, there are still some Predators to go around. If you've emailed me to get on the list, don't worry, I'll reply in a day or two.
Also, I couldn't help myself on this one. Aaron made me promise that I wouldn't show off our little side project until it's done, but somebody posted the duck hunt gif and now I just have to. NOTE: This is DEFINITELY not a production game, this is a retheme of a Williams Valiant for our private game room only! Pretty pretty please don't ask us to make another one.

Skit...bud...everyone here knows you are busy. We just are frantic at the moment. There is a rumor floating around about the theme changing and all the Playfield toys going the Beanie Baby route???
Can you comment? Lotta worried folks here

pfew, i still have no confirmation . So here's fingers crossed, that with the next mailathon me and my friends are a go!
No rush Kevin, i rather you take a year longer and deliver a top notch pin, than rush the pin and the quality suffers.
