Quoted from D-Gottlieb:My take is that a pinball machine topper really should be an overall static display piece of some kind. I would want it to add to the theme of the machine while off and be of some, but not too much, additive value while the machine is on/playing. I can see this idea working in an arcade environment but not for home use, at least for me.
I agree completely with D-Gottlieb on this one. Part of the beauty of a topper for me is the sculpted/physical nature of it and the visual enhancement of the overall machine even when not turned on. I have an AFMrLE & TAF, and Tilttopper's works of art on AC/DC and T2, for reference.
I was an early adopter on the lighted speaker panels, and while service was a little rough at first, you guys eventually went above and beyond, and I've been very happy with you guys since. I own multiple panels and multiple hinge kits. I love the innovative products you've brought to our hobby! Even though this latest one isn't my thing, I applaud your efforts.
