this entire announcement is useless without prices and unless the standard is 6500 or less then it is silly IMO.

yes, that is on a brand new remake. From the industry show in TX today.

you may want to call a different distributor. the MOST I have been quoted for delivered is $5100.

A few have been under that.

you still have my number?

Ill be in Pittsburgh in July and currently room to bring home 1 (maybe 2) more.

just sayin...

Easy drive over when i am down there already.

I just heard 5500 plus shipping for the standard?

Great choice if so!!!! Competing in the Stern Pro market is the way to go! You will sell 3000 of them at that price is my bet!

may be the case.

I mean lets be honest. If Stern can pump out new games at 5100 delivered... seems like someone like CGC can pump out a remake at 5500 plus shipping.

They of course have the advantage of saving on all the cabinet costs since no mark up for your own product. They also have all the assembly line knowledge. They also have some of the development issues worked out from MMr stuff.

Only seems logical to hit at that 5500 price point. Also seems like the way to really take market share and establish yourself as a player.

This of course also hedges on the ability to produce games in a reasonable time frame.

SE and LE are where I thought. Too bad the classic is not the 5500 I had been told.

Glad we grabbed a nice decked out original for way less.

I would rather get a loaded Aliens for less.

Sorry, but new technology, better shooter, better code, deeper and more challenging ruleset, more mechs and cool feature, WAY better theme, art package, sound package, etc... I could go on and on, but in short for that scratch Ill support the new company that is pushing pinball into the future rather than over charging to look backwards.

AFMr is 1000 over priced and no reason it should not be selling in a competitive market with a Stern Pro.

Heck, Ill take Aerosmith Pro over a AFMRclassic give the cost savings

* I already own AFM, Aliens, and Aerosmith so yes I have the perspective on this.

you should reach out and get a real price form Heighway or Cointaker if you want to compare apples.

new CPU is being worked out by Heighway (I am guessing at cost or under). EL lit blades are an add-on and by no means a requirement for game play.
I actually already looked into routing out my fullT cab if desired and it will be easy due to the way it is constrcuted.
I am pretty sure Andrew is also coming up with some sort of option that will likely satisfy the majority of FullT owners.

contact either a distributor or direct to ask for eact prices for exact model and options you want.
*I think Andrew is at TPF so if you are going, just talk to him directly. He is a super nice guy.

I dont beleive they have published an exact price but could actually be cheaper...

Do you have a FullT you are looking for a kit to? If so, reach out to Heighway and just ask for your specific price. It really is that simple.

I am guessing you will have to wait for specific numbers. I know last I asked, they did not have everything worked out just yet (I think they are finalizing the CPU conversion plans and the shipping/storage box plans for the kit???)

didn't it take over 2 years for people to get MMrs?

well... I own and play both on a weekly basis. AFM cant even come close to the flow and great geometry of Aliens. I know you are just basing things on watching some videos this far, but go get some games on Aliens and check it out for yourself.

very different game now, as you can see form the videos. I played it at expo also.

Dude, do you always try to continually pigenhole people and degrade an actual pinball conversation into personal attacks? Predator was far from a good shooter; and I never said it was. It shows the intent of your attacks when you change a conversation from the merits of a game to "but you supported Predator, WHAAAAAAA" I have no vested interest in Aliens, just like the game and think it silly when anyone continually bashes on a game you have yet to play. If you want to ask personal questions; I am curious how you are affiliated with MMr/AFMr/PPS/CGC. Care to share? You have 'hitched your horse' to their product and unlike me just being a pinhead that likes a game, you have an obvious financial bias and potential gain from selling these games. Are you a dealer? distributor? reseller? employee? Your defense of your company affiliation is obvious and your credibility evaporates when you continually attack all other companies/games and even worse just regular pinheads showing their opinion on a game they like. It honestly turns people off from your entire brand.

If that is the case, then it will be great that anyone ordering now will get their game in the next 3-6 months. I find that hard to believe but would be great news for those interested in buying. I think it is expected that things will go better for #2 game, but also expected that this is once again a completely new thing and new manufacturer than Stern contract build, and that alone will cause some delays with the learning curve. don't you think?

how does the strobe multiball look?

maybe not right this moment when hype is high, but they have every reason to be competitive and offer deals to bring in the non-hype customers.

I have to imagine with so many great options out their, cost is a big factor in any pinheads purchase.

I contacted 2 distributors and got 2 different prices. Just sayin...

Distributors get a cut and some are willing to deal; even if that means selling for slightly less cut but selling more games. One was offering add-ons to sweeten the deal and of course there are shipping fees that are always negotiable.

call around

plenty of ways to avoid the 'rules'. People just need to be smart enough to not share publiclly where to go and get those willing to work with customers in some 'trouble'
