Spooky Pinball, 2023Quoted from GCS2000:I thought Bug said in the stream when he got the first mode/episode that he said the modes were random and he was excited when he got the opera episode.
Got it. OK. Would be cool if there was an option to select the modes.
Quoted from insight75:Got it. OK. Would be cool if there was an option to select the modes.
Perhaps that could be a function of the extra flipper button on the right side that you use to select the Acme items you have collected in the game.
No idea need the Spooky guys to chime in on this one.

Isn’t the extra button only on the CE?
Quoted from jfh:Isn’t the extra button only on the CE?
That I don't know but I wouldn't think that would be the case since it is used within the game to select Acme things you have collected - I think I am understanding that correctly.

lpeters82 can you guys comment on this?
Quoted from jfh:Isn’t the extra button only on the CE?
Nope. My mistake. Pictures show it on all three versions.
Quoted from Stuby-Doo:I'm 227, if that helps you
Funny!
CE #206. Maybe summer? Was hoping a bit earlier but I'm late to the party. #223've been ideal in this case!

That timing seems about right. My number just got called up (CE #138), and I have just the spot picked out…

So they are building your #138 machine now?

What an awesome space! I'll have to dig out some old LT cels I have from when I was a kid to display nearby! Didn't even think about them stowed away until your pic.

I was told production timelines are not yet locked in, but would be updated.

Thanks man! Hard to see in the left corner, but a constant uninterrupted run of about 450 animated WB shorts plays as you walk in.

Wasn't sure if they started in the 0-99 range or with 100. At #157, looks like I got to get a game up and listed ASAP.
edit: BTW, that is an amazing room!

There’s no way that his 138 is being built right now. His distro may have confirmed an order or something but they are still training the staff on each phase of production (according to SpookyLuke) which means that this is impossible. If the math holds, #138 should be done mid to late April.

Which math is this?

That's about what I had in my head for my number as well, April-ish. Is anyone doing a preorder spreadsheet like with the last few Spooky games? It was very handy to look that up every once in a while to get a solid estimate of when your number was gonna be up.

Wow. That is an incredible space! Your CE will clearly be a perfect match.

One of the Spooky guys asked earlier in the thread not to do sheets though it would be nice to have a ballpark number of games per week (though waiting a few months doesn’t bother me at all).
[My CE is #244. Sadly it will gave to share a room with non-Looney Tunes games and memorabilia].
Quoted from jfh:Which math is this?
Shoot. I was told there wasn't going to be any math.
Quoted from jfh:Which math is this?
Search for my posts in this thread and you’ll see a preliminary mathematical projection of the first 100 games. It is just a ballpark figure, though, but I would say accurate enough given the info Spooky have given us stating that they are evenly spreading their current orders over the whole year and then ramping production up as more orders come in.
The bottom line is that, unless sales go wild in the coming weeks, we are looking at the first 100 games being completed by the end of March at the earliest and the beginning to middle of April at the latest. The market has severely cooled, however, and I doubt that a huge sales bump on a $10,000 man-toy is realized. Spring is a very realistic expectation.
Quoted from RTS:Shoot. I was told there wasn't going to be any math.
Spooky didn't think so either that's why the end of ball scoreboard didn't add up correctly - sorry guys low blow 
I would love to know how many more were ordered after the release of the gameplay video. That would be a very curious number indeed.

Well, let’s ask someone here who ordered in the last day or so to post their game number. Any volunteers? We up into the 400’s yet?

I ordered yesterday. 244.
Quoted from jfh:I ordered yesterday. 244.
From Spooky or a distro? If a distro, that number could be part of their allotment and therefore higher up than the total number of orders would suggest.

Distributor.
Quoted from dts:Is it faster to order from Spooky directly?
I ordered yesterday afternoon from distro and wound up with 206. So doubt it.
Quoted from dts:Is it faster to order from Spooky directly?
Slower, I would think. The way I understand it, the Distributors have an allotment with game numbers already assigned. In other words, they are given a certain amount of early numbers as incentive for Joe Public to buy from them. Spooky may also have saved some early numbers for themselves. I don’t think this is a first-come-first-served system right now but there has to be a point when the reserved early numbers are gone and we indeed transition back into that system.

Ordered day 2 direct #131

Wow, you were not kidding about having the perfect spot! I assume Looney Toons IS your dream game....

But this only makes sense if the pre allocated numbers sell out in a limited period of time. I can’t believe Spooky is going to stop if they get to a block of unsold numbers and not skip to the next block of sold games.
Welp, I talked myself into ordering one. The plan was to wait until TPF and decide, but after watching the game play, took the plunge. I don't really care when it's built, so I requested a specific number.
Only real car guys over a certain age will "get" why I am getting #426. I won't make this a riddle, so will just say that owning a true Hemi car is on my bucket list. More specifically, a 1968 Hemi Road Runner. Until then, #426 LT CE (with another certain Road Runner) will have to suffice.
I do miss watching Saturday morning Looney Toons with not a care in the world. But, flipping a LT pin on a Saturday morning may very well come close....
FYI, Plymouth paid $50,000 to Warner Bros.-Seven Arts to use the Road Runner name and likeness from their Wile E. Coyote and the Road Runner cartoons (as well as a “beep, beep” horn, which Plymouth paid $10,000 to develop).

Mecum Kissimmee is this weekend, lots of Road Runners and Daytonas and Superbirds, take your pick.

If I didn't get into pinball maybe I could buy one.
Buyers who would like to add figures to their machine should consider the many Looney Tunes ornaments put out by Hallmark. They are the right size, well sculpted and painted, and relatively cheap compared to mod company prices. You just need to remove the hook loops and find a way to fasten them. The back left corner has room for something. Maybe the plastics above the lower ramps could be replaced by figures. Just focus on episodes that are used for modes and avoid the ornaments with Christmas themes.

This!
IMG_1125 (resized).jpegGame looks superb. Is there a chance this one’s included? My friends and I would scream this at each other all day long as kids..
#186 here and I used to draw all these characters over and over again! My favs where Marvin and Daffy to draw something about Marvin's colors that always stuck with me.
Would love to see Speedy and Slowpoke, but I'm guessing we won't see these two for many reasons which is a huge bummer!

When staring at playfield pics, doesn't look like much room to add figures is the only catch.

Good stuff.
There is so much absolutely fantastic material to choose from. It must have been very difficult for the team to decide which classics ended up in the game. (“Wait - you want to pay me to watch cartoons to figure out which ones are to going to be part of a pinball machine? Damn, I say damn Son!”)
Quoted from PinSpinner:Well, let’s ask someone here who ordered in the last day or so to post their game number. Any volunteers? We up into the 400’s yet?
I ordered yesterday and am ce #31. I guess the distro still had early numbers?
