Quoted from westofrome:Saves them from competing for attention with Iron Maiden and ACNC reveals at TPF.
I don't think they are concerned about competition.
Quoted from westofrome:Save it for Allentown
I don't know if they do Allentown.
LTG : )
Quoted from twinmice:Well I guess if you were going to go to TPF for reveals,
Circus Maximus Group is still a go.
LTG : )
Quoted from CrazyLevi:I may sound naive but I really had no idea how many people went to shows just for the reveals.
I think that is why CGC was sending me.
LTG : )
Quoted from twinmice:Well I guess if you were going to go to TPF for reveals,
And Spooky will have their next game there.
LTG : )
Quoted from KozMckPinball:Llyod knows already.
Actually I don't know. I never ask. That way if it leaks, wasn't me. I didn't know.
I'll know about the same time as everyone else, and then be cramming to learn.
I was hoping to see it inside and out at TPF. Get some pictures. Now I don't know if I'll get some pre production pictures or see it before it starts rolling out. Or if I may need to take a trip to Chicago to get some early learning in.
LTG : )
I might add too. That I enjoy the chance to get lots of pictures of the inside and out. Even if prototypes, the sooner I can study, the better.
I've been lucky so far with Hobbit, Dialed In, Pirates, Attack From Mars remake. Being at a show and able to get inside the games before the doors open to the public is something I treasure.
LTG : )
Quoted from jeffspinballpalace:IMO CGC has three games about ready to produce - CCr, MBr and CVr.
What about a non remake pin ?
LTG : )
Quoted from TheLaw:Dobn't really think it makes financial sense does it?
No idea about that. But you have the assembly line. You have the people. And only so many remakes that you can do. And they have mentioned they are looking into doing their own games.
LTG : )
Quoted from TheLaw:Well yeah...whom isn't these days
That's good.
Not everyone has an assembly line and trained people though. And will double their capacity this year compared to last year.
LTG : )
Quoted from NPO:ou really think anyone associated with CGC would tell you
I wouldn't. I wasn't sure they were still sending me after the announced delay.
No surprises. #3 won't be at TPF.
LTG : )
Quoted from Ericpinballfan:Pinball Circus Remake would be nice.
Circus Maximus Group is on it.
LTG : )
Quoted from MrSanRamon:This mystery is sort of like dealing with children.
I am in the know.
And it is with a heavy heart that I must let the world know that game #3 isn't Punchy The Clown R
LTG : (
Disclaimer : That should adequately cover the children part.
Quoted from eharan:Any idea when CGC is going to announce game #3?
Probably within a few weeks.
LTG : )
Quoted from Whysnow:sounds like a good chance it will be revealed next week at Midwest Gaming Classic in Milwaukee, WI.
Up to Doug Duba. It won't be revealed until done.
I hope it makes it !
LTG : )
Quoted from mamawaldee:I was really, really looking forward to the TPF announcement.
They disappointed me so much by not announcing #3 that I went with ACNC instead.
That's a shame. You missed 2 MMRs, 4AFMRs, 5 Houdinis, Alice Cooper, Total Nuclear Annihilation, King Pin, 5 or 6 JJP Pirates of the Caribbean, a row of Multimorphic pins, and probably a lot more I'm forgetting.
LTG : )
Quoted from JJHLH:if it’s MBr.
People really need to get over this.
Fred Young isn't as young as he used to be. And he's having trouble hitting the high notes for PTCR ( Punchy the Clown R ) and this is delaying the game's release.
LTG : )
Quoted from pinballaddicted:Could you give us a prediction on when you think the next title will be released?
Sorry. No. Not my place to steal their thunder.
LTG : )
Quoted from Ericpinballfan:Lloyd, killing us
Sorry. Didn't mean too.
Quoted from Ericpinballfan:Maybe this weekend at MGC?
I haven't heard anything like that.
LTG : )
Quoted from pinballaddicted:Even I am getting excited waiting for the announcement.
Me too. I anxiously await the announcement. Getting the game. And a surge in tech support calls. Mostly basic set up type questions. Always first time NIB buyers when a new game comes out.
LTG : )
Like better audio. Speaker lights. Big display. Shaker motor. Mirror blades. And the Addams family on top of the backbox tipping a cauldron full of hot oil onto the Christmas Carolers below ?
Now we're talking !
LTG : )
Quoted from Sethman:But whatever they plan on releasing, better make it quick or they will lose this buyers money to something else. I’m tired of the waiting game.
Understood. I believe it will be quick. I also believe the wait will be worth it.
LTG : )
Quoted from chad:AllenTown maybe?
I don't think they are waiting for a particular show. They are waiting for the game to be done and ready to show off.
LTG : )
Quoted from Ericpinballfan:But, LLoyd commenting here above....Means it's not going to be TAF.
Well now darn it. Got to get up pretty early in the morning to fool Ericpinballfan.
LTG : )
Disclaimer : This means there is still a chance for PTCR !
Quoted from Jayg1981:Is it possible
No. What ever the game is, or hold up is. It isn't licensing.
LTG : )
Quoted from whitey:If the release is top secret why would that information be given out to anyone including guys who run pinball shows ?
Wasn't given to anyone. Especially guys who run pinball shows. I think they went with the rumors.
LTG : )
Quoted from KoolFingers:It's called hyping a product, which they seem they are doing.
They aren't. Pinside is doing a pretty good job though.
LTG : )
Quoted from Bearcat:They must be be updating the game code, right?
Maybe they'll announce when they are coming down the assembly line ?
LTG : )
Quoted from Mr68:Is it just me or is this delay getting weird?
No. Not when you think about it. And consider what other manufacturers are going through with delays after their announcements.
LTG : )
Quoted from musketd:Lloyd it’s alteady been delayed three months care to elaborate?
It's greta game ever.
LTG : )
Quoted from hoby1:I heard another 3 months min. from a very reliable source.
Well I stand corrected. I can't compete with a reliable source. Especially a very one.
LTG : )
Quoted from hoby1:I quess time will tell swami.
Time will tell. I was talking to my very reliable source on Monday. 
LTG : )
Quoted from Rascal_H:Just to make it fun I’ll come back to cast shame on whoever ends up being wrong.
I hope the owner of CGC doesn't let me down.
I'd hate to have shame cast upon me. That could severely effect my tech support on the new game.
Quoted from musketd:Wonder what the big delay is
I know something you don't know.
LTG : )
Quoted from whitey:The punchy remake is hilarious!
With big display. Better audio, lighted speakers. Official clown shaker motor. Mirror blades. And huge animated clown topper.
Fred Young will weep with joy when he sees it.
LTG : )
Quoted from Ericpinballfan:What? CCG is making a new game?
Yup.
Best fire up your clown making mod machine. You'll make millions.
LTG : )
Quoted from SDTMinSTL:what issue is causing it?
I don't think it's an issue.
I think it's getting production set up.
LTG : )
Quoted from parabol420:Lloyd, you are a great guy and a tremendous asset to this community, but I really feel you should stop posting stuff like this. You aren't adding anything substantial to the conversation
I apologize. I'll stay out of it.
LTG : )
Quoted from flynnibus:Collector's Edition Monster Bash people???
I don't know the specifics. But people in the factory are blown away with it and I've never seen the excitement level before with what is going on.
We shall soon know. I know I'm looking forward to pics/videos/games.
LTG : )
Quoted from Yelobird:Great to see you Back Mr LTG!
Crap. I was talking to Rob Berk and saw flynnibus' post and didn't realize the thread it was in.
Damn.
Well may as well spill the beans.
No license issues like they no longer have them. Stern isn't making CGC remakes. Stern isn't taking over CGC. And Doug Skor is a great human being.
And I'm no longer sorry for giving hints so people could connect the dots to figure things out without getting me in trouble.
LTG : )
Quoted from whthrs166:Oh boy hold on to your ass cheeks!
No call for that yet. They priced the AFMR good. And from CE to SE to LE, each $700 going up got you a lot more stuff. After the price is announced, then complain away.
LTG : )
Quoted from bigd1979:Whats improved on the hardware/moving parts ? I believe they are the same used on the original ?
Besides 20 years newer parts. nothing we know of, yet.
Depending on model, a chance we may see shaker motor integrated with game play, better audio, speaker lights, bigger display, mirror blades, kick ass topper. And maybe more.
All depends on which model you buy, and if there are any surprises.
LTG : )
Quoted from tmntrule999:Where is the "official announcement?" I know lots of talk and people saying it is definitely going to be Monster Bash, but haven't heard official yet.
On Facebook a week or so ago. CGC admitted they aren't good at secrets.
No pictures yet.
LTG : )
Quoted from RichieWrench:so is there just the two models or Three....
Three. Classic, Special, Limited. Same as AFMR, CE is the Classic ( base model )
In about 8 hours start calling your buddy Joe.
LTG : )
Quoted from Sethman:Why 8 hours?
Because Joe likes getting texts and calls at 2am. Way better than sleeping. Not to say RitchieWrench would ever do anything like that. A lot. Every night.
LTG : )
Quoted from KingPinGames:I am an authorized distributor
Contact Chris for your Monster Bash needs. He's the best !
LTG : )
Disclaimer : I am an authorized PPS/CGC Tech Support guy.
Quoted from J85M:I thought this was another tease
What makes you think it wasn't ?
I like to post in layers and leave tid bits around so people can connect the dots, yet not get me in trouble.
LTG : )
Quoted from Mokthemagicman:What is goin' on?
Waiting for two things. Both beyond CGC's control.
Until then, nothing to release.
LTG : )
Quoted from Pinballer73:Are you able to explain further Lloyd?
Last word from CGC was UL approval, then licensor approval. Which started when this came out. No idea where it is in this process right now.
LTG : )
Quoted from MrSanRamon:Jeez...how could they possibly get this far into the process without license approval?
The license holder wanted to see the finished product before signing off ?
And we may not be talking Universal here.
LTG : )
Quoted from MrSanRamon:Well I guess that it could be a monster bash with different monsters...sort of
No.
LTG : )
Quoted from musketd:Lloyd when will we see this mythical monster bash
Gee I don't know Derek. When do you think we'll see it ?
LTG : )
Quoted from musketd:At this point who knows not sure what the hold ups
It's been posted here. UL approval, licensor approval.
Two things beyond CGC's control. CGC is working on assemblies.
LTG : )
Quoted from john17a:Lloyd do you have any knowledge about this
No, I'm sorry I don't.
I'd contact both PPS and CGC. No idea where an inquiry should go.
LTG : )
Quoted from whitey:Pictures ? Models ? Come on man
Have to wait for the CGC release. People invited to test it have to sign an NDA. And we shouldn't want to see anyone get in trouble.
LTG : )
Quoted from whitey:Just want to see a topper that tops
AFMLE
Me too. I hope soon the wait is over.
LTG : )
Quoted from mollyspub:what's the deal on the remakes not being serviceable or lack of replacement parts when compared to the originals?
There is no deal. Both have identical cabinets, playfields, and playfield parts. Remakes have updated electronics and lights. Some surface mount, some important ones like drive transistors through hole. Some people worry what if in ten years. Some people worry what if in 30 plus years original boards will have more obsolete parts.
You need different tools and skills for surface mount. Only deal I can think of.
LTG : )
Quoted from RichieWrench:CAN WE STILL GET ON THE LIST FOR PLAYING THIS GAME
Ashley posts here, PM her. I believe today was the last day though.
LTG : )
Quoted from NeilMcRae:hmm a bit disappointed not to be invited to play test
No invites. You had to PM Ashley.
If you did, I'm sorry you didn't hear back.
LTG : )
Quoted from musketd:Wonder what would happen here if universal doesn’t ever approve the game guys?
Nothing. The wait isn't on them.
LTG : )
Quoted from jonesjb:Where there be scenes from movies on the LCD’s in this?
No. Only what was in the Williams version on the LCD.
LTG : )
Quoted from arcademojo:You mean like getting final approval for the new topper?????
I doubt that. Obviously something they are dependent on from a company or person beyond their control.
Once that happens games will instantly start rolling out the door.
LTG : )
Quoted from sublime90803:my NDA I signed when I played it is null and void?
Seriously doubt that.
LTG : )
Quoted from kapsreiter:no news from them since Doug left the building?
Some weeks back Ashley posted asking for volunteer testers to come to CGC.
That has already happened. No other news yet.
LTG : )
Quoted from Yelobird:middle CE model will be the seller.
Depends on pricing and differences. Which we haven't seen the MBR list yet.
On AFMR the LE was limited to 1,000. Red/Green mini saucers LED upgrade. Mirror blades. Better audio. Speaker lights. Topper. Double the warranty of the SE. Serialized LE Medallion. And Green, black, additional trim color choices.
From Classic Edition ( CE ) to Special Edition ( SE ) to Limited Edition ( LE ) on AFMR, every $700 extra got you more stuff.
LTG : )
Quoted from 3pinballs:MY WOZ Emerald flippers after a while I feel a delay which I wish I could figure out why it does that as I have no clue.
JJP pins are leaf blade switches on flipper buttons and remakes like the originals are optos on the flipper buttons.
They are some subtle differences especially for upper flippers.
LTG : )
Quoted from snowvictim:Well, at least now we know game #4 is definitely going to be a remake of Cactus Canyon.
Really ?
I don't think there is anything definite in pinball.
LTG : )
Quoted from jbug:I had the original a few years ago but sold it. I forgot if the original had an attract mode. If so, does the remake have it also?
Yes.
LTG : )
Quoted from Budman:It would be really nice if CGC would do a video of all three machines side by side with the glass off, explaining the differences..
Their website does list the different models differences for AFMR and MBR. Sine MMR LE is no longer available from CGC, no chart for differences between the two models.
LTG : )
Quoted from jbug:I sent 2 e-mails to Cointaker just after the Expo and they never replied.
Crap happens.
Call them.
LTG : )
Quoted from BOBCADE:Anyone know if the topper box will detach from the pin carton?
No idea if topper is boxed separate or not.
LTG : )
Quoted from Davidus56:Are the remake callouts identical to the original?
Yes.
Quoted from Davidus56:Different voice actors I assume?
No.
Quoted from Davidus56:Are all the original callouts included?
Yes.
Quoted from Davidus56:Are there any new ones?
No.
Quoted from Davidus56:Just wondering if the LE remake is worth getting.
Yes. If you like new and an amazing RGB light show.
LTG : )
Quoted from Ericpinballfan:Can you get a classic at 6k and add a Colordmd? Very curious.
ColorDMD is not programmed the same and won't work.
LTG : )
Quoted from Ericpinballfan:Well damn....now Im up to $800 in add on's.
Sounds like LE with topper is way to go.
When you look at what you all get extra, compared to the Classic and Special Edition :
https://www.chicago-gaming.com/coinop/monster-bash ( Bottom of page )
Really sounds like the LE is the way to go.
