Seems like its geared towards children, then again that seems to be the JJP way, I like that it has a futuristic vibe but otherwise this is not going to make any kind of dent in Stern Batman66 sales that's for sure.

I need some better gameplay videos and firsthand impressions. Initial impressions are meh, especially after those prices were laid out.
It reminds me of handy manny kid show with the music and the little guy with a hardhat. This really blows me away that pat came up with this.
The prices of new games from both Stern and JJP are a fucking joke. It's killing the hobby IMO. Should make the second hand market much more liquid though.
Summary of the show so far...a shitty, ugly Batman gloss over and a effen cell phone game. Yay, I just saved anywhere from $18000 - 25000 in 24 hours.
Quoted from ForceFlow:I noticed the applause in the room was kind of quiet and short...
Indeed

Neither shitty or ugly.

It seems like too much of a 90s-era theme. It seems dated for 2016.
Who dunnit music and sim city on the display. I'm not terribly excited thus far
I guess I am naive. Once the announced the price at 9k I thought that was the limited addition and they would be introducing a players game for 6k. Not the 12k "no pin for you addition" but hey if you can afford it more power to you.
Hopefully they have some gameplay videos - ASAP!
I really wanted this to blow us away - and it did ! ... but I dont' think in a way that was intended. WOZ is one of the most amazing pins I've ever seen - even Hobbit is pretty incredible and a great show-off pin. But man I am confused about this. TAF and TZ (and FH... and RoadShow... etc) are some of my favorites ever. So I want this to be great... Please someone wake me up! I'm having a nightmare

Huge turnoff.
$15k for a BM66 SLE, and $12.5k for CE Dialed In.
I wouldn't write off the game before playing it, but the layout definitely doesn't look like anything special- is this the first time Lawlor has ever done a fan?

Wow, what a DUD that was.
Holy crap, BM66LE is a f ing bargain!
Was Jack full of shit with the 1-6,999 "LE"s? WTF
He says, "I bet i sell every one of them".
$9k for that. I'm willing to be open minded but WTF again, that theme is AWFUL.
Next, has anybody seen Alien yet.
Quoted from ForceFlow:It seems like too much of a 90s-era theme. It seems dated for 2016.
It is dated. Just like Lawlor.
OK, after I breathed a bit more, the game does look fun as hell. Just super odd theme and questionable pricing...
Meanwhile, over the last 30 minutes, people remembered Pat's opening joke about not making a wrestling theme, and promptly used their money saved for this to buy the rest of Stern's WWELE stock.
Disappointing. Don't mind the theme exactly but the voicing and music is too juvenile. Obviously can't say anything about gameplay. Phone control is a gimmick that is fun once then why do it again?
Pricing kills it for me (even though I just bought a Hobbit for low 8s). Time to revisit the older B/W pins...
I'm really surprised at how bad the theme is. Jack might as well just take the write down on the balance sheet now and move on to the next game. Wow that's bad.
Well so far both reveals today are not very appealing especially for the ridiculous prices. Alien and the afmr are looking like the show winners especially aliens......
Wow, what a DUD that was.

Just got done playing it. I sucked, of course, but the game has a ton of potential. Lots to shoot at.

Couldn't agree more. This reminds me of the scene in Office Space where the guy showed the "Jump to Conclusions" game....

It looks like a Stern. The picture posted above by Yoko2una shows better detail. It's funny how some of you watched a horrible quality video and came to the conclusion that the game looks and plays awful. Too funny. Why not actually play the game and see if it is a good or bad game at that point? The theme doesn't make since to me on first look but I wonder if some of you would have said the same thing when pins like Road Show were revealed. A theme about road construction? Come on, how lame!! Some people here amaze me that they call themselves pinball fans!
Quoted from ForceFlow:Dialed In Limited Edition, 7,000 units, $9000
Dialed In Collector's Edition, built to order, $12,500
That's it. I'm done. No more Stern or JJP games. I bought the first two JJP and planned on this one f it was reasonable, but this is too much. Spooky gets my NIB money from here on out.
I like the playfield and am excited about the new theme - Pat and crew will make this a fun game I think, but I refuse to pay these prices for games.
The playfield, art, and graphics look pretty cool. I understand the title is pinball reference but it's a really bad title. On route that's the first thing you'll see and it's a complete turn off. I like the idea that the game is a limited run but they probably should have cut it in half. 7k+ would put this pin as one of the best sellers of today.
I didn't have any hype when it was rumored to be a cell phone theme. Then I thought it surely wouldn't be a cell phone theme. That's probably just a feature. Kind of disappointed that the rumors were spot on. They should have focused the theme on the superhero angle and just made the cell phone a neat side feature.
Looking forward to the Alien reveal.
The 6,999 LE count is a joke. I thought 1k for WOZ and 1.5k for Hobbit was a lot but 7k is ridiculous. I don't know about this one. I think to properly judge the game you need to see and play it in person. Regardless it looks like a far better "value" (still insane prices) at 9k versus $8500+ for a Batman 66 premium (let alone $10k for an LE, $15k for SLE).
Well, I can honestly say I could not have hated the theme more. Wow. I guess a gameplay vid is in order, maybe it's fun, but wtf?? That is extremely disappointing.
Quoted from iceman44:as Jack full of shit with the 1-6,999 "LE"s? WTF
I am completely serious when I say that I thought that was a joke that Jack was making. People in the room literally laughed out loud.
Then I realized they were 100% serious. JJP loses credibility with this stuff. 7000 is "limited?" In what universe?
