At $60,000 each, I don't think this machine will ever appear in a tournament or at a public location.

60,000 is an asking price. I could say that any of my pin worth 50,000 it’s pointless. The buyers drive the market and the last MG sold for around 13,000 at the Banning auction I think.
It was a hard sell it seems, really few potential buyers.

I just don’t understand what the point of owning one of these is.

Your friends / wives / neighbors / barely acquainted passers aren’t going to care that you own such a “rare” piece. They’ll be just as blown away by the No Fear In the corner.

So who is left to impress? The 2 hardcore pinball guys who come to your basement every few months?

Still an amazing job to get it playable from the box of lights that jpoop delivered. Hats off to the 3 Dutch guys that got it done. Pinball passion at its highest level. Congratulations to those involved.

There's one at the pinball museum in Rotterdam.

I will take mine almost not working nos out of the box to some events this year and I take some more protos/rare games. Time these games gets some play and not collects dust in high end mansions… all over the world

Thanks, nice to read!

Best regards
DutchMG-team

Nice gameplay. The game looks really stable.
Overall opinion is the musics and callouts are great. The magna save are used a lot during gameplay but it’s not a bad thing.
The layout seems good and the center mini playfield fun. (However inspired A LOT by TZ)

Congrats again for all the added engineering to make this game playable: really good job.
I really like the lock mecanism with ramp as well.

Only thing which stikes me is: there is no real links with what we see on the PF illustration and the actual gameplay. I would have really liked to have a story with the illustrated girl for instance.
Also, the magic theme is clearly a mess and It’s really hard to understand the link with the frozen pictures and the theme.
Last, the animations are lacking and it’s really unfortunate: only frozen picture all the time.

There are some issues left with callouts or else but overall, it’s look playable and fun. The game is incredibly beautiful and it shine a lot in a gameroom. (Moreover playable and fun)

Thanks for sharing this new gameplay video.

For those interested. We were lucky enough to catch up with Eric and have a thorough look at Magic Girl during Pinfest in the UK.
