They are on many System-11 games like Diner and Rollergames and have lasted more than 25 years.

So they will be fine, uh, if done right

Somewhere I have a signed picture of Adam West and a copy of that movie on VHS. There was a promotion at a Block-Buster video store for a meet and greet. If you bought the video you went to the front of the line and got the signature.

Much simpler. I think Block-Buster paid him to come there for a Saturday afternoon. Free if you stood in line. But for probably $20 (or less) buying the movie you went right to the front of the line. That was the whole point, to get people into the store and try out video renting. * Don't forget to rewind!

I know this was in the 80's but I'm not sure if it was before or after Michael Keaton got the role in the first modern Batman movie giving Adam a big disappointment. It was probably a "Come meet the 'real' batman" gig.

Here is an ebay picture of what I probably have. This guy is asking $250.

It would be interesting to know the specifics. While I'm sure the wording says "for original purchase price" on the buy-back, does "selling" imply auctioning, donating and trading?

I don't mind what Gary is doing at all. He is celebrating a milestone and thanking friends and business associates. He letting in a few true collector / lovers of pinball and wants to weed out the flippers. So what, it is his company he can do what he wants. When you are the largest seller of pinball machines for 15 years you can do things differently with your own company.

Simply, if you don't like it or don't agree to it then it is not for you. It is for very few. Most will not only never own one but probably not ever get to play one ever. So don't worry about the code or the clear coat since it will not be your problem.

Hey, I drive a car. As a matter of fact I have more than one so I guess I collect cars. Can I get a 918 Spyder? The simple answer to me is "no". And I am not going to lose sleep over it, but I might dream.

With only 30 machines maybe Adam West is going to do a special voice entry for each machine.

There will be something that will turn 30 machines into trophies. And each one will have its own difference. People will pay.

They are 30K, just BOGO.

The embarrassing thing about the misspelling is that it is correct just a few inches below the wrong one.

The crane was a very well done toy on TDK. If they had to reuse anything I'm glad they picked that.
