Lets get back to GTF! What if the head has some sort of assist, that makes it easier to lift it out of tank position?

Or do it for you?
Love the camp. Wife loves the camp. Hype video 3 actually worked and I am now tuned in for the reveal. Can’t wait to see what’s under the hood.

It would probably be cool, but problematic and most likely need pnumatics/hydrolics. Also would be crazy expensive. Maybe someone can mod one later.

Wouldn’t be too bad. Use the same idea as billet hood hinges on custom cars. Motor wouldn’t even need to be that powerful with the pneumatic assist cylinders.

What about non-dairy ice cream? Yeah, it tastes like crap compared to dairy, but it is an option

Just pointing it out. Not sure I’d fight to save the galaxy for oat milk ice cream substitute.

I agree. I wouldn't even drive to the grocery store to buy it!
The more i look at this layout the more i want it. If the game play matches up then I'm in. Hadn't planned on this one.
This Nordman design just looks incredible to me. The gameplay is gonna reveal some cool surprises as well.

Quoted from Bublehead:The most popular and arguably the best recieved anime ever in the USA was made in 1967, and I was 5 years old. I'm 61 now.
Go Speed Racer, Go!
Pokemon, dude. Like it or not, that's far more successful in the USA. I'd even say Dragonball z, too.
Quoted from MrSanRamon:Could someone direct me to a link to a playfield pic?
Thanks.

GTF is the clear leader to me in the newly released or soon to be released game arena. I am on an PF interest list. Tomorrow, I'm going to switch that over to GTF. I still need to see some game play, but I like what I see so far.
Quoted from Viggin900:I was so in on this game but the last 3 pages of this thread discussing cultures, race, gender, and age have confused me? I'm not sure what I want anymore? I guess now I know how teens feel.
See what happens on Pinside when you have a few paragraphs of innocent insight on a visionary business scale? And using metaphors? you get shit on. The teenagers replied to that.
All I know is, I freaking LOVED my AFM remake - especially theme-wise! I've already ordered a Scooby (sorry, but that game looks incredible), but this could easily take some more of my cash even if I have to sell some pins to get it. Pulp Fiction is sooooooooooo close I'm really thinking about it, it's one of my all time fave movies and they really did a great job on that (besides not giving it at least a DMD damn)- but this could definitely pip it to the post. Come on AP show us the actual gameplay we are all waiting for it.... 
The game looks really promising from what we've seen so far. My one concern is that Houdini and Oktoberfest tanked in value. Will the same thing happen here being that it's an original theme? The new cabinet design will help attract more customers, the original AP head design was always off-putting IMO. Next is animation work, they need to be better then the robotic looking animations we've seen in the past from AP. Finally the code needs to be deep as well as unique (having a good amount of mode choropepgraghy). I think a game like this can stand toe to toe with anything Stern or JJP offers but it needs to bring everything together well.

Quoted from Haymaker:Sorry Punkin but I'm American and I like American things...like good ol fashioned country western music!
(the joke here is that Keith Urban is Australian)
Quoted from Wolfmarsh:What control electronics are in this one?
Thats a great question and I'd like to know also. Last I heard they were using P-ROC
Quoted from Mr68:Thats a great question and I'd like to know also. Last I heard they were using P-ROC
I've seen no mention of them changing it so the assumption would have to be it's still a Linux PC with P3Roc and some custom boards. rosh mentioned he designed some new LED boards for them but again, I'd expect it to still be driven by P3.
I thought they were trying to go to something internally developed. Isn't their parent company a board manufacturer or something?
Quoted from TreyBo69:I thought they were trying to go to something internally developed. Isn't their parent company a board manufacturer or something?
First I've heard of it but you could be correct, they are wholly owned by Aimtron which does a lot of different stuff including "turn-key pcb manufacturing": https://www.aimtronsystems.com/service
I texted my distributor to ask what the pricing was going to be and so far nothing but crickets. American has always been reasonably priced bang for the buck so I'm hoping the prices won't go up too much...

I heard that the deluxe le is going to be 12999. Due to the 8k budget in the game. AP spent more in the machine than a stern pro msrp.
I'm in on PFLE, was waiting as long as possible for this, but had to pull the trigger, the FOMO is real.
I'm sure GTF will shoot awesome, I'll enjoy my LOV for the time being

I'm happy for you and everyone else, but I had the opposite reaction after seeing Pulp Fiction.
I'm firmly in the Galactic Tank Force and will be reporting for duty when more information arrives.
That said, I think Pulp Fiction will easily outsell GTF because its a licenced theme and from a hit movie that I've always loved.
I also think I'll have my GTF several months before Pulp Fiction even hits the streets.
It's good that we're all different and were all lucky to have so many choices.
Quoted from Zablon:I posted that last night man
If the Godfather thread was big enough for 96 "It's Godfather 3 only!" jokes, we can handle two ice cream references!

I believe you but I don't see it in your feed. At least not a picture.
No matter, I will not be discouraged! I will continue to find more and better ways to embarrass myself on Pinside.

Does this mean you're making us an offer we can't refuse?

lol not a big deal just funny. I posted it in the PF thread and it just said "Uh oh".

You know, think of how many people would have burned this place down if it had just been Godfather 3. LMAO.

It's all good for sure!! So many great pins announced...Just amazing time for the hobby

Interesting. Not sure if they will be able to compete at that price point. Hope the regular version is much less or will be out of my price range.
I wrote my dessert-ation on ice cream and can say for certain we’re through the display case.
We will help the princess Ice Cream become a Dairy Queen!
Some people might be insecure showing off an ice cream theme full of rainbow sprinkles and light shows. It’s a Neapolitan complex. No one will feel Breyers remorse.
Theyre going to get so many orders, I hope American Pinball works on Sundaes!
Am I right or am I meringue?
