Also because there are plenty of games out there in pinball-dom that have horrible or even stupid themes but play amazing and are legendary, much sought after games.

Maybe you confuse faith with hope 
Even though faith because of Thunderbirds isn't high, I have hope this one will be better. How much better, and will that be enough to make a fun game? I hope so....we'll now more in september.

I saw the manual for the game was uploaded

Interesting they still don't have a better way to update the code on the board (at least you don't have to mail it back and forth now). I'm curious about their opto rollover sensors. I sure hope they're not like Vacation America where clicking a flash light on/off at it can get it to register switch closures....
Hall effect spinners is a neat idea tho. Also there's a bell in the game?

The bell is in the backbox. Do like that addition. At least the parts section of the manual is pretty good. Destroys the disaster of a manual that Toy Story 4 has, so there's that. Still not expecting anything from this pin, but maybe I'll be surprised...

For those wondering; No, there is not a detailed playfield photo/drawing in the manual.

Hope you are well.
We want to give you an update on the Spinal Tap pinball machine with the latest news that the machine will be launched at Pinfest 2022 on 17th September. We will be displaying 2 machines at the show. For more information about the show, please view;
https://pinfest.com.au/pinfest-2022/
On this day, we plan to show photos/videos of the Spinal Tap Pinball machine as well as production schedules, prices and dates.
Information has changed since earlier estimates, however we should have very clear information during the show, including details about final features and the pinball machine Topper.
Thanks and we will stay in touch.
Best Regards,

Is there pricing on this yet?
Quoted from PinMonk:Is there pricing on this yet?
Yea between 9000-9500 I believe in euro
just a few random spot welds on that left ramp and you would think to run the wires down the back edge of the side stadium light brackets
Looks ok, just dent look too closely
Way better than TB , hope it plays well for the festival and loo forward to more reviews/ videos.
Pricing is um, yeah . But this is all pinball and toys lately

I can't wait to see videos of this in action, really hope someone can get some decent footage 
Tap is one of my favourite comedies ever , so much potential for some incredible modes
Love that they got the cocoon chamber on there.
Let's hope these guys are less annoyed about the leaks than stern , at least they can't blame the death of our queen , most Aussies don't give a crap
Quoted from wizard1974:most Aussies don't give a crap
most of the world is delighted

No leak…this is the release.
What are the chances…..2 inherently Brittish licenses being “launched” in the same week that Britain is in mourning for their iconic figurehead while the rest of the world watches. Could be seen as unfortunate timing. Could also be seen as perfect timing.

Could be wrong tho.

This flyer is so blurry
Quoted from Dantesmark:$9495 usd
Homepin doesn't have the cachet or track record to ask almost $10K for their sophomore release. They should be looking at the piles of HW/UM's for sale on Pinside, the countless unsold TS4's and the fact TNA 2.0 isn't sold out of it's small run. It's sort of like people don't want to pay $10K+ for a NIB... especially from a company that has TBAG basically as their entire resume.
Incredible. another case of a manufacturer failing to provide a production quality gameplay video before some guy with a cell phone. can't unsee the rattled half ramp shot at the :27 mark.
