Quoted from dsmoke1986:
I want to play this one bad, when is it releasing?

In the podcast, they said that Pedretti has been acquiring parts and setting up for production but games haven't started to be manufactured yet - Cointaker have filled their spots for Q1 2021 which I think was 65 pins (possibly 1 container??) so guessing late Feb/Mar timeframe. But we may see some machines pop up locally in Europe earlier than this for testing and promos

Edit: just re-listening to the podcast and they do state that they'd like to have Cointaker showing off some games in early January

I’m on “the list” for an LV! It’s been a long time since I’ve been this excited for a new pin...probably have to go back at least two months to the GNR reveal.

They actually said Pedretti is currently manufacturing the first batch, ie. in progress Now, cointaker early January.

Pedretti had alien parts in-hand to set up for production quite some time ago, early in October! ... also stated.

Quoted from SuperPinball:
So they are neither confirming nor denying that a playfield LCD will be a feature on the LV. I think they should have finalized the features of the LV before selling the standard edition. I still can't see what could possibly be $2200 without it. JJP Standard to LE is $1000, Stern Premium to LE is about $1200-1400.

I think blue or green with metalic specks would be the two best colors. They are a bit darker when not in direct sunlight.

I emailed them this morning with a scan of my original Heighway invoice that I never got a game for and within minutes they got back with me. The voucher idea will get them a lot of karma with me.

Curious: Does anyone else remember Andrew mentioning or showing an idea a long long time ago about a face hugger mech popping out of each of the egg bumpers each time they get activated? Probably deemed it not feasible or reliable.

And thinking about it, is there such a thing as having an area in a pinball machine that's just too busy? LoL

Ha I missed it. I thought I saw some concept drawings Andrew posted where he was trying to figure this out.

Regardless, if someone develops a clever idea along these lines it would be impressive. Then again every time a ball gets trapped in the bumpers and things are popping up and down chaotically it might get cheezy. But it would surley make one laugh.

I have never seen one of these games so I’m just commenting on the picture posted below. The backboard head is not nearly as wide as most machines. Looks weird but probably just because I’m not used to it. Also, there doesn’t seem to be a removable translite. Is this correct? Are there any electronics in the head to access other than the lighting for the art and display? All the electronics are in the cabinet then? How about the playfield rails? Are they similar to most games in how you pull it out and lift it up to rest it on the head? What other differences are notable in these games? Could any of you original owners post pics of the insides of this game. 1AC40E76-5493-4F15-B2EC-4851BDD5610F (resized).jpeg

On the original...

- There are locks on the right side of the backbox, and once unlocked, the front panel pivots aside, in case you need to access the backbox components.

- The playfield lifts like pretty much any game of the past 20+ years. (Removing the glass was different (and heavy!), but it sounds like the reborn machines have switched to traditional lockdown bar and glass.)

Also remembering this is a widebody, the backbox appears to be only slightly narrower than WPC, maybe a tad taller, so perhaps closer to DE/SEGA size BB. Most games these days are standard width (aside from some JJP), so perhaps not used to seeing widebodies anymore.

The original has all the electronics in the lower cabinet. The head was more for form factor... It only had the display and speakers and strip LED lights.

I’m assuming that is a rendered pic, the back box should look like any other Williams wide body game.

I’m just curious is it normal for pinball companies to take down deposits and send renderings of a machine that they dont even have an operable unit? Or do most companies have a working model then send it for sale and into production?

Well, if they aren't taking your money first, they have to gauge interest in how many to build. I don't imagine they are going to make a warehouse full of them and sit on them until they sell. Since there is no set number of the SE run, it could be 200 it could be 2000...it will most likely depend on how many deposits they get.

That's what I've been wondering. Why not wait until cointaker had 30 of them to sell and production is rolling along. Then announce it to the world. They were going to sell every one made regardless. What was to be gained by announcing 2 months before you can get any out the door?

I would be very surprised if Cointaker sent a single dime of the deposit money to PB. This is not Melissa’s first rodeo with this stuff and she will protect her customers! I think the deposits were simply to gauge interest for the game so that parts could be ordered.

I’m not even saying make a number of pins but at least have one with film of it in action.

IIRC GGC sold a crap ton of MM remake sold a thousand LE on first day not sure if they had flippable pins at announcement.

We simply do not know and anything anyone posts can only be speculation. The terms of licence could dictate that sales must begin before the end of 2020 or something. Not everything has malice behind it... even if the history of PB isn’t great.
