I'd much rather seen an original theme (assuming it's good and shows originality) than Batman.

Their steampunk flippers are the coolest thing I've seen in pinball ... just yet to be convinced by any games they've shown.

They announced their platform way too early imo, and should wait until 4k pf monitor is cost effective for them to do.

Pretty sure Bond is a done deal. My main hope for that would be that it's something of an anthology, and has hand drawn art.

People keep mentioning muppets / Jim Henson. I'd be cool with that.

Harry Potter, less than zero chance of me ever having any interest.

wtf are you talking about?

calling someone a pussy, i.e. lacking courage or exhibiting fear or cowardice (often in the face of less than intimidating circumstances) makes reference to pussy cats ... cats that are particularly mild mannered and generally sheepish in nature and flighty when confronted. it has nothing to do with vaginas.

The shape does look ... odd

I'd be thrilled if it was Pin2K 2.0 .. as long as the pf length isn't shortened.

Modular games from JJP ... what a win.

Heighway doing it is one thing (a tiny startup), but a manufacturer that probably will have sold 6000 or more units of their games by the time this goes into production? That would really drive the industry forward, and make it more sustainable.

You might be right.

I suspect they're going to show the evolution of the machine through stages of prototypes.

Looks like standard length, but extra height, judging by the chairs and boxes.

I'll reserve judgement. Whilst I'd prefer Quantum City as a title, I'm guessing Dave & Busters and kids would be much more taken in by the title as is.

Not keen on cabinet art.

Backglass looks great.

Playfield layout looks excellent. Not keen on ugly phone screen.

Will have to see more of 'Sim City' animations, but it's clearly intentional.

New platform seems great.

Return of Red & Ted in all but name seems a bit weird.

Price ... announcing a CLE at $12.5k with no details. Terrible idea. It may put WOZ ECLE to shame ... but if it's not ready then don't announce it.

There will obviously be standards minus invisiglass, shiny powdercoats etc. If they pull that in at $7500 I'm sure it will sell extremely well.

If $9k is entry? That's foolish and smacks of Steresque greed. This game should not cost more than WOZ or Hobbit.

There's no way they don't make a standard. But why announce a not ready to be shown CLE when Stern's price gouging has attracted so much appalling publicity? Why price the LE at $9k? Would $8250 not have been enough margin? How can the bill of materials be higher than WOZ? There's no way. Simplified platform should mean it's well below Hobbit too in terms of physical and assembly cost.

Surely #3 should have been the game that gutted Stern's market share and ate their lunch?

They risk losing that by pricing so high, even if I don't doubt that it'll be massively superior to BM '66 in every respect, whilst being cheaper.

The greed is getting sad.

Gameplay looks good .... and game looks pretty when lit.

But the sound .... :-/

The voiceovers, the jingles, the music, the phone ringing ... I guess one shouldn't make too many judgments from one mobile phone video ... but my main impression is that it's childish and irritating.

You're the AU JJP distro?
