Does anyone know if you can buy invisiglass for “the pin” sized games?

This game’s playfield & glass is the same size as a normal game.

Oh awesome. Thanks

I forgot the boomers on here instantly shut down as soon as someone mentions Facebook. Noted.

I'm younger than you but hey, it sounds good in a post.
EDIT: Sounded good in my post too...I actually think I've got you by a couple years.

Absolutely!!

Not sure why everyone is up in arms about the mdf. It has a clearcoat right?. It will be fine. Just don't get it wet. Shouldn't be hard to keep dry in your tumble weed world down under, especially if you have a barn.

Do u know if u can install shakers in this?

And dont remove a screw and expect to put it back more than once.

100% agree. The first buyer will likely never remove the glass. For the subsequent buyers it will likely be an issue - preceived and real. Hence re-sale will decline rapidly, unlike it's commercial cousins.

I totally get "it's not for us" and hence I dont understand why anyone on a pinball forum would even contemplate one.

Maybe the guy buying one for his kids earlier (at $4600??). Recommending one to a non pinball freind I get (if they dont die of sticker shock).

In any case, the game itself looks great for what it's trying to achieve, anfd if it can get more people into pinball (to make Serns backlog even bigger) then great.

I'm really thinking this may be the way Stern starts to go.

Let's be real. This is pretty loaded. We are all spoiled with all the gadgets, then more of them, and more of them. Drives prices up, costs more to maintain, etc etc.

A few years ago this was your normal pro version.

Making a home pin at this price point (maybe not for every title) would really make sense for entry level home machine owners.

Smart move! And having DeadFlip on design gives them some cred. Looks well done!

What makes you say that? Send like a lot of people on here like the looks of it and don't mind NOT spending another $2k....

Not sure what you are basing the "not for us" ppl on a forum on.....

To much talk about a small screen.

Who cares? Uhhh... 99% of the time my eyes are on the playfield.

Could make video mode hard... Oh wait.... Bahahaha

I though the Star Wars pin was pretty fun... prices seem up there to me for a more casual player/user but they must be selling or they wouldnt make em.

Admittedly, the hobby has changed alot recently. My "not for us" arguement goes back years.

Yes, $4600 shipped from FlipNOut. I wish it was priced on the street like Star Wars has been, but at the same there is enough in this (my opinion) for me to bite bullet and plunk down the 600 extra.

I would be more than happy to do an unboxing and features video when I get mine and share the good, bad, and ugly. It isn't just for my kids and guests either as I plan on getting plenty of games in as well.

I think $4600 for this is a great value for nib in this climate.
Does anyone know if these will adopt shaker motor installation?

This is not preventing them from making VE's in any way if they wanted to

I didn't buy my Transformers PIN (home ed) new but I had no trouble selling it. I had 3 offers in 1 day, lots of demand with the lower price point.

Lots of people out there looking for something less expensive with newer themes and technology. Guys in their 20's and 30's usually don't want EM machines or 80's/90's movie themes.

Aren't Vault Editions just rereleased Pros? Not sure what the excitement is all about there. I would imagine what holds vault editions back is having to re-up the licenses to produce more units. Anything based on Disney IP is going to be expensive. For anything that was popular to begin with, there is still enough in circulation that I wouldn't think sales would be all that strong, and would cannibalize from new releases.

People talk about a Tron Legacy Vault edition, but let's face it, the movie came out 11 years ago. It's not going to happen no matter how much the machines are going for second hand.

I think the best they can hope for is that the layout gets recycled for a new IP.

When you look at what else is available in the $4400-$4800 range I can see how this could be an attractive option for a new pin. I think I'd pick it over some of these games. Especially since it's new and likely more reliable.

I just played JP Pro 4 times at this place I was just at and I really enjoyed it and the theme. It definitely feels super "alive" and I liked the size of the screen on it, with the animations and stuff. The size of it felt pretty perfect

I have watched the 2 videos about the home edition and am eagerly awaiting the reveal tomorrow to get more info, but I wonder/worry if it won't feel as alive as the one I played today. I am also wondering how much of a difference the smaller screen will make.

I realize they are different games though and not in the same price range, but that is still a feeling I am wondering about.

I agree, that the pro/premium LCD is spot on for the size. Not sure about the 4-5" LCD on the home pin.

… only half joking about the MDF barn find quip. And it’s too wet to find tumble weeds down here.

I actually like it. Looks the best of the home pins to me. I thinks there’s a market for new games that play like a 90’s b list game for around the same price or a little more. Modest rules, 2-3 multi balls, 2 ramps, a central target and DMD like animations etc. Game play is key though. It still needs to be fun and hold your attention for more than a day or two.

Hey, at least it’s in color!
Remember the Sony Watchman?

Please do a video! It's hard to find good review videos for the home edition pins.

I’d rather have this translite than the one on my Premium.

I'm all in and have placed a deposit, Played the JP Premium previously and its a good pin but not a theme for me, however the kids love dinosaurs and of course the T-Rex Moves!.
In Aus the market is in such short supply that i was never going to pick up a JP Premium for less than 15K and when im spending that type of money its going to be on a pin that i really want.
This comes in at 8K delivered to my door and im fairly confident that its going to be the one that most people who come over are going to gravitate towards.
im also excited on that point that Jack Danger has been involved and he was tasked with a "re-imagining" of what the 'PIN' models can be, good to see some fresh designers taking on a new concept.
in my opinion this is going to be a good game to just have a drink and blow it up when looking for some quick and simple fun

The good news is its the same size! Should be able to order one soon.

Hey. Just popping in quick to say thank you again for all the awesome support!
We’re doing a short stream tonight on my test/prototype game to give a sneak peek at the shots! ❤️

Cool!

6 central?

YUP!

Noice! What time?

Sox Astros is on tonight, so I might need to keep an eye on both.

*edit 7PM Eastern, got it*

I'm not talkin to you I'm talkin to that pinball over there

Me, for one. I'm not paying 9k for a Tron Pro. They don't exist as far as I'm concerned, because the price is so outrageously stupid for what that game is, and how shallow it is, and nor will Stern ever Vault the damn thing.

Let me think here... Tron Pro, or Godzilla Premium for LESS money...hm.....yeah, that's not a tough decision.

Just dismissing the opinion that there's a market for VEs out of hand because they're still out there and purchasable for *some* amount of money is idiotic. Iron Man VE, nobody expected, the price was higher than the original game, and it sold just dandy. Meanwhile, Stern will NEVER convert someone like me on these home pins, but there's at least a possibility I'd consider a 5500-6k Tron, or god forbid if they ever found out how to do them, a 8k LOTR or TSPP.

Forget seeing a 5500-6000 new Pro again. The price is 6700 now. Like it or not, that's where they are.

Thank you for your completely obtuse statement that fully ignored every point I was making. Even at 6700 it'd still be laughably less. My own personal breakpoints don't have any effect whatsoever on how Stern does things. I'm not paying more than 6k for a Tron. Period, and regardless of any upgrades or changes that Stern wanted to be arsed to make.

Is this reveal tonight going to be like a Q&A too? Or a pre-recorded thing?

I am just curious about stuff like the build quality of the thing, if we will get to see under the playfield, access to it, etc. Also curious to hear about the exact dimensions of it and things like that, as well as showing off the game itself.

So let’s talk quick about tonight’s stream!

First off, this is weird revealing my own game.

Second, tonight’s stream will be fairly short. We’ll do a Q&A, play a couple games, kiss, and say goodnight. OH, and Laura Danger will be joining us! ❤️

Third, Stern is letting me do something we really haven’t done before, I’m showing you my personal test/prototype machine for the reveal! (We’ll do another one with the full production model soon!). I’m too dange excited to share this awesome game with you!!

Get your questions ready, I’ll be happy to answer all that I can!

What an honor, and holy smokes your support has been through the roof!

See you tonight!

And yea this will be recorded.

Thanks, I’ve never seen any home pin. Can you tell me how it feels as in the nudging or solidity of the flippers, tilt bob feel etc.

This may be a really dumb question, but is this Home edition likely to make the Pro edition go up or down in value?

No

I played a Tron Pro - it's good but I think they are way overpriced for what they are.
