Here, buy a $100,000 pinball machine, but I'm only going to post 4 crappy pictures, two of which only show today's paper and the other two are exactly the same. Right.....

Exactly...
Looks like the red and blue in the Pepsi cabinet graphics are faded. Perhaps a discount would be available?
Edit: In the item description it notes the fading and some other defects. I never took time to read the description the first time I looked at the auction.
It appears to have the same playfield layout as Data East's "Laser Wars".
Michael Jackson apparently did all of the callouts & voice work for this Pepsi pin.

I found a few more pics elsewhere on the web. Not much better, but the playfield is shown a little (lots of glass reflection):

Quoted from Captain_Kirk:Did MJ actually own this game? Was it at Neverland?
Define "Neverland" as a part of MJ's body.

Dear hollywuud8,
Hello, as a pinball and Michael Jackson fan, I am very interested in this auction, and think it is awesome that you have this. Can you post some detailed pictures of the playfield and backglass?
Thanks so much. Have a Merry Christmas

ear pinballwizardmitch,
hi pinballwizardmitch. yes we can get more pictures. remember this is a estate auction. we have to drive to where the woman lives to get pictures. we are doing this for free. on our own time. we can take pictures of the out side of the machine, but with the play field the lady is trying to decide to put pictures up or not. on one hand, she thinks who ever buys it, wont want the pictures of the playfield all over the internet. but on the other. she knows people want to see it. right now she is not putting pictures of the play field up. that's what we got to respect, she make's the decisions on these estate items we have been selling for her. and we just say yes mam or no mam. she sold the new old stock major havoc arcade kit ( to a collector in a country in Europe I cant think of right now, he was happy to get it.) and quiet a few other arcade related items. and every one has been happy with them.

This seems too weird, just like mj would have wanted

Actually I think his favorite line was "what would you do for a Klondike bar"
Quoted from BigBangBack:new old stock major havoc arcade kit
Pretty cool a Major Havoc NOS came up in the community. Very popular title.
Not wanting to post pics of the playfield? If that's not a serious red flag nothing is. Its blown to hell are not even there. GLWS

I heard that Michael slept inside the cabinet while on tour, because he thought the magnetic fields would keep him young!!! I heard this from a friend of a Roadie's uncle's brother's chimpanzee's sister, so I'm sure it's true.
Does the other side of the cabinet come with color?
Why would anybody care if their future game had pictures of the playfield on the internet? If I spent 100k on a game and I was proud of it, I would want the world to see it.

Like vid said, the playfield is probably just a stock LW. Either that, or it's in awful shape. Maybe both.
Quoted from eeperjesi:Nope, Michael had the machine bleached in the late 80s.
