That's a ton of different shots and combos.
Love feeding upper flippers for shots.
Looks like my kind of game.
Can't wait for a whitewood video.

#22 9 years ago
Quoted from pmWolf:

That third flipper is in a very interesting spot...

Reminds me a bit of Doctor Who the way you feed it from the A spot.

Quoted from Rob_G:

Flipper number 4, the upper right? Yeah that is definitely a nuisance as a shot blocker.
Rob

It's hard to tell just from the layout above.
Makes it look like the shots from flipper 3 are awkward as well which I'm sure they will not be.
But it would be annoying if even the flipper returning to base would knock shots down.

#193 9 years ago

I would say no.
In this case the standard version looks like you could easily mod in the LE desirable pieces after the fact.
Plus I would lean towards no armour. So that swapping other games in won't look awkward/ unmatched.

Quoted from bigdaddy07:

I finally broke down and went in for an LE.

Same here! But with Nitro for us Canucks.

#6909 7 years ago
Quoted from txstargazer3:

The contrast is essential to entice pinheads to buy both games (which is at the core of the conversion kit concept)

Hope not, I'd love a dark ass Bladerunner follow up next.

Are the standard and le plastics the same?

#7289 7 years ago

Fox approved?

#7299 7 years ago

Once production starts how many games are they planning on shipping a month?

#7363 7 years ago

I'm all for black on black, not crime, trim.

#7420 7 years ago

Never too late to start again

#7440 7 years ago

Have they shot the promo?

#7473 7 years ago
Quoted from ectobar:

I'm curious where people are getting these prices from. I've talked to CT about getting a Full Throttle and the quoted prices were more like 7k/9k. Can't imagine Alien is going to be cheaper.

a man who does not own a pinball machine is also a man but an inferior man

#7577 7 years ago
Quoted from frolic:

My advice for Heighway would be to put their promo video online as soon as it is green lit. Let people get "hands on" Alien for the first time at expo, but don't hold back the reveal till then. There is going to be a super amount of competition at expo this year, with both Batman and JJP3 being revealed there. If we can see and discuss Alien for an entire week or more before expo from footage, I think that will be very beneficial.

Sure, if Fox approves it in time.

#7621 7 years ago
Quoted from Yipykya:

Afterall, what's the point of the special 35th Aniversary back glass art if it's just going to be trim around a tv screen?

I plan on throwing the translite back on when I'm not playing it and off when I am.
But then again I'm a huge dork.

#7628 7 years ago

Your dorkness is not as huge as mine dear sir, neither is your schwarz.

Quoted from Aurich:

there are no missing toys that I'm aware of.

The revive ball saver is complete?

#8014 7 years ago

Thanks! I plan on staring at this all day.

#8016 7 years ago

Yep, Heighwaypinball.com works for me too.
Not the 212 site though, might be the switch over.

#8029 7 years ago

2 minutes on the website.
Very nice promo indeed.

#8035 7 years ago

Glad I didn't bail to get "Dialed In".

#8060 7 years ago

I thought that light bar was axed.
