Aside from Deadpool, this would be the only new pin I'd be interested in. With Disney owning the property now I would be doubtful it sees the light of day.

Quoted from LordHumungus:No its not.
Why is it so hard for some pinsiders to accept how small and limited to a niche group this hobby is. Young people have no idea about arcades and don't care about this at all.
1) My son brought one of his 20 something old friend over to pickup tools who had not been there before. His eyes just about blew out if his head when he saw the game room. He actually thought the pins were 10k a pop minimum. So right out of the gate the public perception is pins are expensive.
2) To the average joe pins ARE EXPENSIVE. The idea of spending 5k on a pin is totally insane. Like it or not the average consumer is going to compare a pin to buying an x box or playstation or some other form of entertainment.
It's a niche hobby and I'm fine with that.
I have 3 children in their 20's who had unlimited access to pinball machines for the last 4 years.
99% of the time they would rather play on their Nintendo devices or Xbox.
Younger people may play pinball time to time but implying it's more than a niche group is ignoring reality.

Are you implying witness testimony is inadmissible?
Because you just did.

Quoted from flynnibus:And how often do you deal with broken metal ball guides vs us replacing ramps, bash toys, drop targets etc?
Both the wire ball guides on the Flash Gordon I'm restoring are busted off, more common than you would think.
Not a deal breaker either way, its pinball and stuff will inevitably get broken despite your best efforts!
Quoted from MK6PIN:People have every right to be extremely cautious about this game, including the company.
A nice video from an enthusiastic guy who was very honest w " a few minor bugs need to be worked out as this is a proto" after you could hear launch problems in the background before stream stopped to next shot.....
Nobody is " shutting up" , just possibly trying to stay quiet, still hoping for a reliable, supported machine...not being " blinded by the ramps"...waiting still for actual owners w actual games to see how things go.
How many have paid in full for this by now? Is yours playing well? I see it in your collection.....being boastful at this phase is premature...
I'm interested in buying one, but content to wait till the bugs are ironed out.
