LOL. Can confirm there’s no actual real world reason to avoid it. I toyed with the idea of getting one as well as Halloween but only have 5 slots right now

Totally agree. Godzilla art is awesome and I have it on order. But personally halloween is the best I've seen in a long time

I was also a little disappointed that Ultraman was not a finalist for best art. I might be biased, but I voted for our games one / two. ZombieYeti is amazing though, so it's cool. Pinball art has come a long way in the last 10-years.

i have Godzilla pro and played Halloween on location. Halloween to me is one of the best art packages ever.

Another intermittent issue. The middle hedge Michael will act all crazy each time a flipper is hit. It adds points for doing nothing. Sometimes it happens and sometimes it doesn’t. Can’t seem to replicate the issue on purpose.

Adjust your leaf switch for that hedge target. It’s gapped too close so the vibrations from the flippers are activating it.

It has the best cabinet and backglass of the group but not the playfield in my opinion. I did vote for Halloween though.

Bingo!

How long until “He comes home” ?

What’s the current latest turn around time from invoiced…to home delivery ?

Any one with a recent number that just got delivered care to chime in thanks!

I'm January, but I'm a 1000 number - wish it was earlier, but I'm also ok with having a little more mature code

Anyone else receive their game recently?

Butterbox email: 3.16.22
Invoiced: 3.24.22

Haven’t received an email yet about picking it up (I’m a couple hrs and a few podcasts away from Spooky). I also opted for the butter cab so it may take longer. My luck isn’t the best so I’m estimating summer of 2027.

Options email: 2022-03-16

Thanks for the replies!! That would be interesting to know if butter slows things down receiving the game, it does make things taste better. However one of you that recently replied is in Canada, the other is a pickup. Id be curious to know from invoice received / paid to a Fed Ex truck with the game at your door within the USA… I’m guessing 2-4 weeks. My chart when I made it 6 months ago still looks like I’ll fall into my window:

Mine is a CE, and I didn't pick the butter cabinet.

Received notice 3-24 from Nitro for butter or no butter. I am #481. Went no butter.

I posted about this possible fix weeks ago and it got completely skipped over. This was the same fix JJP made mid production for the saucer on Pirates. Good to hear that it works for Halloween too. Did you have to make any modifications or did the screw holes just line up?

https://pinside.com/pinball/forum/topic/halloween-owners-threadhes-coming-home/page/84#post-6823900

Extra ball is supposed to light after 2 (or is it 3) successfully completed pumpkin modes? I think I got hosed yesterday. I had 4 modes successfully completed and didn't get one. It might have had something to do with playing stalker mode 2nd.

01-8806 is now sold out, did Spooky buy out the stock to switch in production?

Dang it! Was gonna order when I got home.

Ughh!! Seriously?!!!

That or we gonna see some marked up eBay listings here soon

Oh that is the IJ scoop p/n behind the center drop targets

Look.

Did they say when you might receive it? Looks like we are a little ahead of that schedule posted above. Might there be a chance I get 920 by Halloween!

I am #328 and still don't know when it is going to be on the line. After Halloweens in the 340's have been delivered already I will never buy a Spooky pin again.

I think its impossible to tell due to the numbers not shipping in order; which sort of ruins the point of numbers being involved
209 was 6 weeks behind that list, but 298 came weeks before that

Lol! Who’d wanna be a pinball company?

Please take the time to read this post.

It’s all pretty straightforward.

https://pinside.com/pinball/forum/topic/halloween-owners-threadhes-coming-home/page/90#post-6846864

Just wait till the export games go out soon with crazy high numbers. Your head will explode off its shoulders. Haha

rd

I love this!

ah so thats how it works. i hope its pinballstar s turn.

I bought just 1 for my game but thought the same thing. Someone was going to buy them out. I don’t get a lot of bricks but would be nice to eliminate them since I’m not that good at pinball. I typically aim for the second level and let it dribble down.

I understand that the order numbers don't mean much (perhaps very generally). I just wish there was some, any indication of the Australia + NZ orders going out, since they must know how many have been ordered, where they are in the general queue etc... I suppose with the various delays, parts shortages there's no way it can be determined? Really just wanted to know what the plan was - wait till the very end of the run so we are looking at end of this year or maybe sometime in 2023? This also help if some if us are considering air freight.

I'm a patient man (I've been waiting a year for my Alien, and about 8 months for a DP) but the wait for this one is particularly painful, and perhaps it is due to the unknown element.

Also - if these machines are indeed planned to be sent at the end of the manufacturing run - honestly, I'd probably get a different machine to play for a year and then sell it to make the room when this one is on its way.

They’re not.

Who said that?

rd

yea its def to wide so I had to raise the posts next to it so it could fit. the holes line up but it's super tight. works though and we are happy with it.

Sorry, didn't mean to give that impression although reading my message back I realise it's strongly suggested. For sure no-one has said that - but there's been no indication at all, not even a generalised one. Ignore me i'm just being impatient - even though I said in my previous message I was a patient man.

Think I'm just a touch more eager to get this one than usual.

Yeah I was trying to order as well but too late. Actionpinball also sold out. It's a bent piece of metal, they'll make more. In the meantime, bend the existing flap down as far as it'll reasonably go, it does bend back during play which makes the shot brick much more.

Once something is posted on Pinside, right or wrong (and generally … it’s wrong …), it IMMEDIATELY becomes A FACT and is parroted over and over.

Export games are generally made after the first few batches of domestic games. This time around they’re a little later than usual, for one reason or another.

Keep up the pressure on your local guy, he needs to be proactive to get them into production.

rd

I didn't skip over....immediately went and grabbed 2 of them. Installing this weekend....think this is the perfect shape ( was screwing around bending a metal mock on my bench until I saw your post).

Looks like it’s back in stock…

https://www.marcospecialties.com/pinball-parts/535-8250-04

That's a different part but it may work as well...

I just followed the link provided by Betelgeuse

Sounds like mk6pin has this and working..

I no longer have any scores on my game, Sterling has taken the top 5, even with a cat always taunting him. He wants to take it to PATZ, (pinball at the zoo) show in April here in Michigan. We are trying to figure out how to take an ez up tent..and black out curtains and make a display, so it's a walk in game to play and experience in the dark and with out so much background nosie.

Yup, I just provided that link as a reference to illustrate what I meant. There's probably more than one available deflector that would work in Halloween, but I haven't personally tested any of them.

I removed my original scoop and bent it to match that shape. Works great now.

How difficult is it to remove the scoop?

Unfortunately not told any ETA.

Was this easy to install

Have you reached out to your distributor then? Because 301-350 are through distros so they should be able to update you. Also I went through spooky on Rick and Morty and their email went into my spam so when I saw numbers higher than mine getting invoices I asked and got thrown on the line immediately.

Yes I have and they keep telling me soon. I would rather just drop the subject and move on.

It's not hard but it's frustrating. They managed to put the four nuts so close together that it makes it a little tricky unless you want to take off the right subway. I opted not to take off the subway. Just have to have patience and the right tools.
