    Quoted from LORDDREK:

    I think that is a far better target and is the model I would be choosing if I wanted to enter the arena. It could be pulled off in a garage and pre purchasing much of the material could be done beforehand.
    Worst case 5 rare and unique $20k pins hit the streets and best case the interest and deposits pour in to do another run of 5-10 machines… Rinse and repeat.

    Little experience in this field but the numbers don’t really add up at those prices.

    Quoted from pinheadpierre:

    Amazing balls if this isn’t a joke considering the disaster his basic playfield production was: horrendous time management, constant excuses for literally years of delays (some medical, many questionable, but always something), poor planning and overall execution. Past performance suggests further train wrecks.

    This would be the big concern for me.

    Quoted from greatwichjohn:

    I have done a lot of stuff the last 25 years while working my 6 day a week day job. What a grind! Good thing my wife did not want kids. The local American Pinball Distributor reached out & we can build 1 or more cabinets this fall at his work shop.

    Now I have the time to finally do some pinball builds now that I am retired. I will use contractors, others with the needed skill sets. Not a art guy like I keep saying over the years. Been knocked down many times by some of the pinball big parts guys, & I am still here moving forward. Lots of us local are in contact over the many years with pinball companies. Canada is another country that could get into pinball manufacturing in a large scale similar to Spooky & Haggis. I see no one has set up a bet on this one yet, everyone thinks it cannot be done by myself. If a big whale comes aboard before the month ends people will be shocked, but there are many out there. If not lots of mini whales at $10k US, which is plan B. Plan B would be very small builds of about 5 at a time, or 1-3. As I keep saying people will not be paying in full, but at stages of production.

    100k isn’t enough money, if you’re not doing the art or programming. Unless everyone is willing to work for under $5 an hour or you’re willing to have sloppy work.
