Yes!!! A "dream theme"!!!! Forget about those manufacturing issues on JP2.....spend your $$$ NOW!!!!

I can imagine the community will selectively scream similar to the audio scream from Scared Stiff if we see these upon first pictures released:

Quoted from iceman44:

No mentions of "not buying because of PF situation with Stern". LOL

Interesting how the new JP2 PFs do not have art around the posts anymore...

Yet the "leaked" E3 pics still have art around at least the slingshot posts - almost as if they are trying to get the community to stop paying attention...

Stern says "Dance puppets!!!!!"

Quoted from Shapeshifter:

Yes, first reports from distributor streams is this game is really good.
400 LE's will sell out.
You won't be able to sit and wait if you want the LE.
Plenty of premiums though!

Where's my snake oil and headlight fluid? Oh, I have bags of exhaust gas from the fighter planes that smell great too!!!!

As usual, Lyman will save the game. His programming and attention to detail are off the charts. Artwork looked better than the photos showed so I'll happily admit to that.

I thought the video clips were pretty well done and integrated into the game well. Dunno how you would "program more callouts" into the game as it appeared all of Elvira's callouts were videos. Maybe there are extras that didn't get used so far...?

My verdict: no way for nearly $8000. You're getting a Premium at an LE price. Totally not worth it to me. I'd buy a 2 or 3 pin combination of Shadow/Congo/DM/RS/NGG have way more fun and still money left over (2 pin combos).

Quoted from Diospinball:

I hope you are right. And I don't presume to know how Lyman or anyone else codes for pinball....The only thing that does scare me though is the fact these games are ready to ship out soon. So the state of the code now and shipping I don't think much can/will change. Wish it was more on point before they ship.

Based on Pinside history, I'm presuming you're new to this hobby (seen new Pinsiders that have been here 1 yr but in the hobby for 25+).

That being said, TWD was known as the Walking Dud because the code honestly was "meh" upon release. About 1.25 years later with Lyman reportedly working on the game in his basement at home (never verified it), holy shit, TWD became a powerhouse monster which shined when Bowen did a tutorial for it in....2015 October if I recall correctly. After that video was released, you couldn't find the fucking game for like half a year because everyone was ordering "quantity 2" at their fave distributor.

EHOH, 3lvira, E3, wtfever-it's-called will shine when Lyman calls is "done." He tends to make a BIG release, and then some "polish it up" code releases come further down the road. Give it about 1 year from now, and the game will rock (code), unlike how long it takes other games. Great example:

GB....was that almost 3.5 years, guys? Some of your kids prolly finished high school and went off to college in that time, not to mention a different President was in office, MCU Civil War had just come out, etc.
