I just looked at the prices because I'm dreaming of an Alien pin and my wife asked how much. If I was able to make it work with Heighway I wouldn't bother with LE and just get a standard cab and take advantage of interchangeable games. The lights up top and smoke machine being talked about with the Alien LE would lock the cabinet to that game.

#1824 8 years ago

LE changes that easily swap out would change things in my mind. The prices for FT and Alien LE are similar, but it looks like Andrew has way more plans for Alien LE from what I have read here and saw at ReplayFX on Youtube.

Oh man, been bouncing around the idea of getting one of these. I wish this wasn't announced until shit could be shown.

#2931 8 years ago

I hear you Aurich. If I was a designer like you I wouldn't want any announcements until I was ready to show the final product; good focus groups aside.

Thanks for the update. This is the way to do good business. Communication is key.

Quoted from Wickerman2:

So, much ado about nothing then....that was 3 pages well spent!

No shit, I don't usually skip ahead in threads, but this took off on me. I was looking and looking for Aurich's political post. Never found it. Yes one with three down votes, but nothing political. I almost down voted for fun to make if four.

I can't wait to some day get one of these Alien Pins. They look so great.

Quoted from iceman44:

I was drunk last night. Not today
Yes my fickle nature has gotten me in trouble before
Wasn't trying to create drama. Can't believe I'm watching the Patriots about to tie this up. Wtf!!!

It happened.

Games are shipping. That is awesome news. I hope to find an Alien on location in the not so far off future.

Quoted from brian-allen:

Hi - hope I can post this here. My name is Brian Allen, I'm the artist who illustrated the backglass Alien Queen for the LE. I thought you guys might be interested in seeing this speed-painting video of how the artwork was created: » YouTube video
THANKS SO MUCH for all the positive feedback I've gotten for about the design. It was truly one of my favorite projects ever.

Nice post; I liked your video. I have never seen a piece of art in stop motion like that before; very cool.

I'm sorry to read all this everyone. This was the one pin a I was really watching closely and considering buying new, but really hoped for a second hand sale. It had so much going for it that I liked, not just the awesome theme. It's funny that some simple things kept me away; sort of like a really realistic phishing them I almost fell for as a treasurer of a professional organization when I got a realistic email from our president to send a check. I never liked how they never had enough information on their website. Sounds silly, but I was always reluctant combined with the things I read. I remember some calling Andrew out for past failures, and thought water under the bridge. Turns out you really nee to check these people out, whether Skit-B, Jpop, or DP. People can't be trusted.

Why is it when this shit goes down with rotten companies it comes down to Lord of the Flies with fellow Pinsiders?

Quoted from Aurich:

Sorry, I didn't mean to make this some mystery with my comment. Market was set by the other sale at $13k as pinlawyer pointed out, all I asked my buyer for was to match it. They agreed, easy sale.
I won't disclose who the buyer was, but it's staying in Southern California.
I'm not gonna vanish or anything, if there's something I can do to help keep these games running I'm available, but I consider the rest of the process behind me now, and I'm good with that.

Aurich you don't know me from Adam, but I am so glad to see you got your game and did what you felt you had to do with it. Seriously, I'm a little emotional because I have kept track of this whole thing, and now there is at least one positive story.
