Oh, and a bonus stream Monday 10/15/18 @ 3pm of NEW CODE....FOR DIALED IN!!!!!!!!!! Hold onto your butts!

Finally got this game in my house. I'm in love.

While I could easily be accused of being in the honeymoon phase (and I am), this is now my favorite game, knocking Walking Dead Premium off of it's three year reign in the top spot.

Can't wait to sing it's praises on our next podcast. #SorryHaters

-Nick, Buffalo Pinball

Very cool - congrats! I look forward to hearing your insights as I've been warming up to POTC the more I see it lately. I hope to actually play one again sometime soon too as my only opportunity to do so was at the NW Show last June!

I'm ready to fanboy it up!

My chest is releasing an extra locked ball when I lock another ball. Anyone have a fix for this?

Every time or just once in a while? The one I play does it once in a while when a ball gets up there when lock isn't lit. On that note, should you ever be able to get a ball up in the chest when lock isn't lit or should the ball always go through the chest and feed the upper flipper in that scenario.

Im creeping up my scores one week at a time. This was today, pretty good considering they nerfed the points supposedly.

I blew up the ship with the cannon, and had a stacked multiball.

Thanks to a fellow pinsider, I was able to test a couple of mods, trough light and sidelights on the translight...the fire really lights up well.

I realize not many games out there, but if there is interest in these mods, they are on our site now.

From watching Eric and the boys and the Buffalo guys play this I’m super interested but at $15,000 AUD I’m super not interested... Hopefully I know someone who is getting one so I can play it!

I hear you, AUD and CDN price on this beast are very close.

My first and only NIB was TSPP back in 2004, that was $4999 CDN + tax. JJPOTC LE is essentially 3x that. Had to dig deep as I wanted the title, day one. I can't see getting any more NIB going forward, likely used market only unless there is something worth selling off pins for and taking the depreciation on a NIB.

The back box came up really well .

The AUD has dropped over 10 cents since I ordered mine so they're not going to get cheaper anytime soon.

Good question. I'll have to pay better attention as I'm not sure. I don't think it's every time though.

Here's an OCD pro tip: I think it's wise to add some mylar/vinyl to the chapter start cove area. The ball in that area is dragged back and forth several times each game when it's shot up there, and it's a small, tight area. I'm guessing over heavy usage it will start to wear.

So there is no factory protection in that area?

I think you're right.

I love the mode start. For those that don't know, there's a magnet underneath that throws the ball around. For each stand up the ball hits, the shaker rumbles and there's a cannon fire sound effect. A lot of the time it does several cannon shots. It's pretty cool.

How much of the area needs Mylar in your opinion?

I am also looking for any advice as to what needs mylar and possibly 1 or more cliffies.

Thoughts from owners at this point?

Pinball Mayhem guys shot some video. LTG : )

#99 is in the house!

I bet this ends up being a rare game in the future due to low production numbers. Unfortunately, this pin has had a really bumpy start.

Are you sure that you want to block that beautiful window?

Congrats!

Heck no. A slow and cautious start but this game (in just My opinion) will hit massive numbers and they will be making it for Many years to come. As close to a art/code/shot masterpiece as you can get.

It's a really good game. We have literally every new game on route somewhere here and I still choose to play Pirates and it keeps bringing me back. In fact, I could play Deadpool on route for free if I wanted to, but I still choose to pay $1.00 per game to play Pirates instead. In my opinion it is head and shoulders better than what anyone else is producing right now.

I've heard this from someone else as well, hopefully it isn't true. This might be my first NIB pin if they end up not making many.

I keep hearing from many of my players that it's the best JJP game, and I have all four here.

LTG : )

As much as I am ashamed to say it, this game moved WOZ to my #2 favorite game of all time. I didn't think it would be possible.

Did I read somewhere that if you get all the multiballs going that there is something that happens with a mode or special effect?

Yes

Has anyone accomplished this yet?

I think there was a Buffalo Pinball stream where it happened. You could look on their Twitch page.

For someone who watches JJPOTC like a hawk, you sure do miss a lot

Check out buffalos stream.

Yeah - it’s called I have kids and don’t have the ability sit and stare at the screen uninterrupted so I likely missed it.

Joe Katz just got it again on the JJPLive stream just as we were typing, so you can see it there as well.

From what I understand, I think you get 6X playfield with all multiballs running and there is a "secret" jackpot, which can be obtained and requalified several times.

Thanks

I've been thinking you are correct about this since you brought it up in one of the recent streams. Better safe than sorry. Don't need it looking like a dirty sanctum.

I’m pretty sure you’ll be paying the $15000 unless you paid in full. Not sure... let me know what you think

Just for you buddy: https://clips.twitch.tv/HeadstrongWiseMacaroniDoritosChip

Just got done playing pirates at Helicon brewing I put up this score.

IMG_20181012_231115093_HDR (resized).jpg

I can only fit a hand full of pins in my house so I'm going all in for the CE at over $19k. Had to sell a couple of pins to do it but pirates has a couple of pins worth of features so I think it'll be worth it ,if not I can always sell it that's the good thing about this hobby. It would be good to see some progress pictures of it, but I've waited this long so what's a bit more.
P5 I hope you sold your hobbit.

$19K!?

Holy shit! (even if it is AUD)

Now, compare JJP-POTC with BBB at that price, which is a better buy?

Thanks for posting that! Helps a hack like me!

$20K by Christmas!

Yeah sold the hobbit took a bit of fenangling but I got there hope you're enjoying yours. Wow a CE at $20k or there abouts hope you love it. What did you end up selling?

I sold a rrwoz and getaway .I am loving the hobbit ,to me its the complete pin, it's so immersive and fun to play and keeps getting better with all the updates. TH has set a very high bar for pirates.

Oh yeah. As far as movie based pins go I think The Hobbit, with its latest code, is now the best of all time in my opinion due to excellent use of licensed assets being integrated throughout the game. The amount of work that went into that games rules, animations, music, and audio is astounding.
