It seems many have been profiting from J-pops previous work over the last few years but him. It is nice to see now he is being rewarded for that.

#6286 8 years ago
Quoted from toyotaboy:

Kordek invented the flippers. Do you think he got upset at every pinball manufacturer since 1949 stealing his idea?

He must have after Harry Mabs stole his idea in 1947.

You mean like this:

That's all the TOTAN spinner is based on.

You mean like this?

Rally Play was seriously one of the most inventive pinball companies out there.

No more designing in a vacuum, all by yourself. Embrace the team and RAD methodologies. Solicit feedback from the community/customer.

Quoted from rommy:

What else are we buyers, who now appear to be victims, supposed to do?

Has anybody tried selling their pre-order spot?

#6705 8 years ago
Quoted from Wolfmarsh:

Can you imagine if a car dealer let you preorder a car 4 years ago

When the last car he made was over 15 years ago? Seems pretty crazy to me on both ends.

#6718 8 years ago
Quoted from jazzmaster:

If this were anything else besides pinball, this shit would be on 60 Minutes next week.

"It really bothers me when these pinball designers don't deliver"

#6750 8 years ago
Quoted from Strange:

Cirqus Voltaire is the greatest pinball ever made.

It was such a hit, they could hardly give them away when they first came out. But at least there wasn't much of a wait if you wanted one.

#6765 8 years ago
Quoted from NYP:

That's really not a fair statement, all games at that time were being closed out including Safecracker, M.M, C.C etc....

I think it's fair enough. My statement was a response to someone claiming greatest pinball ever. Which none of these closeouts are.

#6767 8 years ago
Quoted from Mr68:

That would be an EM, right?

Well, the one you sent me was pretty nice.

#6779 8 years ago

It looks like there will always be people out there to finish unfinished projects...

Quoted from ccotenj:

"too busy to respond"

ImBusyRightNow.jpgImBusyRightNow.jpg

#6847 8 years ago

At least licensing doesn't seem to be an issue.

#6861 8 years ago
Quoted from iceman44:

MG was upped to 50
RAZA was upped to 250

Where do I send my money?

#6867 8 years ago

PM responded to. Would you prefer cash?

#6879 8 years ago
Quoted from ccotenj:

designing hinges from scratch...

I for one would like to see that newly designed "hinge".

#6893 8 years ago

What was Jpop's last game? Star Wars Episode 1? He did finish that one didn't he?

Quoted from TigerLaw:

LTG seems to suggest perhaps JPop could work at a fast food resturaunt or something, but that would require him to handle cash register money...how could he be trusted not to steal it? I wouldn't hire him if I owned a McDonalds franchise...not a chance.

You guys do realize that McDonalds has several positions available where the handling of money is not required.

Quoted from frolic:

I was sold on the mythology of "jpop". His "30 years" in the business.

Just out of curiosity, what part of the "business" was he in after Williams stopped making pinball machines?

#17786 8 years ago
Quoted from frolic:

Well, we all know about the zizzle, which, regardless of what we think of the product, actually shipped.

I was unaware he was involved with Zizzle. I was just curious what he had done since Star wars episode 1.

I was told it would be stupid not to get in on these pre-orders.

Quoted from iceman44:

plenty of smart asses that will always remind you

#18065 8 years ago
Quoted from iceman44:

Judge me accordingly

Well lets see, if the IRS is getting 350k, judging by that you must have grossed at least 400.

#18086 8 years ago
Quoted from DanQverymuch:

I'd wager our average incomes reflect those active brains. Group hug?

Sorry that I must bring down that income average substantially, but am very happy that I am able to up the average in the brain department.

#18302 8 years ago
Quoted from rai:

What would happen if John was able to make a pin which was more simple such as Predator with a magnet and couple of ramps, put artwork on it and call it MG or RAZA would that satisfy his obligations?

He could call it "Zizzle"

Its the same group of hero worship pinball groupies he has always had.

Isn't that what started this whole mess?

Didn't a lot of people pre-order #2?

Many were on it until their prescriptions ran out. They all said the same things when they sent in their moneys. This guy's just a little late to the party.

Quoted from ForceFlow:

In the US, online purchases are not taxed as long as you don't live in the same state as the company you are buying from.

Quoted from rosh:

Not completely true, in many states you are required to declare these purchases and pay a 'use tax'.

I wonder if some states that enforce it will still come after the use tax on these being that money did change hands.

Quoted from ultimategameroom:

Can someone please post or PM me a pic of what the playfields of MG, RAZA and AIW were supposed to look like? IF and its a big "IF" Houdini or a new incarnation of MG art is shown I would like to be able to compare everything.

MG (resized).jpgMG (resized).jpg

"All the colors of a Huffy girl's bicycle"

#19721 7 years ago

THANK YOU

#19866 7 years ago

Anybody looking to sell their MG pre-order spot?

#19868 7 years ago

What did they cost, $17000? Maybe to be made whole they will get a Houdini to go along with it.

#19870 7 years ago
Quoted from MinusWorlds:

I don't think that's as far fetched as you might think.

Sometimes I see things before they happen.

#19896 7 years ago
Quoted from frolic:

I know everyone is tired of my smoke and mirrors, so there is a playable Magic Girl here at the show. Come see it. Everyone paid up for a Magic Girl is getting one.

"Will this Magic Girl have those redesigned hinges that we paid for?"

Quoted from pinballrockstar:

he might have had a good deal.

#20892 7 years ago
Quoted from iceman44:

A pack of liars to varying degrees is rampant with Pinball "manufacturers"
Absolute worst part about this hobby.

If only it could go back to the days when mobsters and gamblers were running the industry.

#20924 7 years ago

I guess it's OK, but the thing looks a little too girlie for me.

I guess that's where it gets it's name.

#20940 7 years ago
Quoted from RobT:

anyone who doesn't believe that MG will be highly collectible is wrong.

Collector of dust.

#20961 7 years ago

I can see a flood of people trying to trade their TBL spots for a MG now. lol

#20986 7 years ago
Quoted from kvan99:

Wow, what a couple of years being on this forum can do to a man's eye.

Check out what it did to his waistline.

#20988 7 years ago

Yeah but he's building the ultimate arcade.

#20991 7 years ago

MG 50k by x-mas

#21082 7 years ago

What a clunker! I wouldn't want to play it if you paid me to. Let alone listen to the thing.

#21893 7 years ago
Quoted from Pinballpal:

You apparently have not played BM66 with latest code update. Hitting the commissioner Gordon target as many times has you can to maximize you batphone hurry up award rule kills all of magic girls rules combined. And that is just one example of many.

Would you expect any less from Mr. Lyman Sheats Jr.?

Quoted from forensicd:

How is the poster formally known as K*****a banned for life, but this crap keeps popping up in what should be one of the most exciting threads ever on pinside? People have waited 5 years for this pin, its here, and all I have seen for the past three days is bickering back and forth. Isnt this why him he shall never be named got banned?

He bought his way back in. $20 "k" is a lot of clams. That's what makes him special.

#21938 7 years ago
Quoted from VacFink:

Interesting enough, I wonder why there isn't any discussion of how surprising this was.

People are still in shock from the TBL situation.

#21945 7 years ago
Quoted from SunKing:

Just in case everyone missed this post from Robin.

That's going to keep the moderators pretty busy. Are any present at the moment?

#21949 7 years ago
Quoted from guyincognito:

But then again... don't we all?
I enjoy listening to his podcast

Apparently you do.

#21952 7 years ago

I recall nails on a chalkboard being more palatable than listening to not to be mentioned's podcasts.

#21955 7 years ago
Quoted from chadderack:

I'm just marveling at the guy's expertise in getting even the smart people around here to talk about him.

I'll take that as a compliment. Thank you very much, my good man!

#21962 7 years ago
Quoted from guyincognito:

Anyone who gets their thrills by driving 130 mph on a public road, where other drivers' lives are needlessly put in danger, is acting like a huge douche.

I'm taking it you've never driven the Autobahn before.

Quoted from Mr68:

Post Deleted.

Quoted from TOK:

Regardless of how much money someone makes, very few people want to squander it.

Except in pinball, of course. Othewise there wouldn't be so many pre-orders!

#22911 7 years ago
Quoted from luvthatapex2:

I noticed someone bought a prototype magic girl. What's the difference between prototype and the 19 others?

About $50,000

#22915 7 years ago
Quoted from Mr68:

Attention believers. I am selling my RAZA spot. Much less than a BM66LE with great upside potential.

So you decided you like the game play of Batman better?

Quoted from MotorCityMatt:

Want to play magic girl? Find a TOM, start the game, and close your eyes.

From what I can tell, the only way to patch it up is with a large box of parts. You know, the ones missing from the game...

No experience making zizzle games.

#23883 6 years ago
Quoted from pinballwil:

Technicaly bsd is one of the most inovative game designs for that time, even for today's standards.
Ik think barry is a great designer.

Beside the great layout and design, you have to give some credit to Bill Pfutzenreuter who did some revolutionary things with the software on that one.

#23885 6 years ago

"software by Pfutz"

#23887 6 years ago

Did you find Popeye that much better?

Quoted from Mr68:

John Popadiuk was inducted into the Expo Hall of Fame, October 22, 2011. It was one of the reasons I trusted and believed in him 7 years ago.

Didn't you know hall of fame is for people that have already done their best work and are usually well into retirement?

Wouldn't that blow everybody's minds.

I can see it now.
