Multimorphic is really starting to look good! If they ever get a Harry Potter, back to the future, goonies or especially five night at freddys theme, I WILL BUY IN A HEARTBEAT.

yah first heist and now Weird Al, I am also right on that edge to pull the trigger! I gotta find one out in the wild to play first... nearest one I know of is 6 1/2 hours away... little far for a one game test ride...

I pulled the trigger on a Rush LE because Rush is my favorite band of all time, and as I was unboxing it this week, I started getting pings about this - because Weird Al is my second favorite touring act of all time. And I always said "well I'm pretty sure Weird Al won't get a pinball so I'm safe."

I've played on a P3 before at a convention and thought they were really intriguing, I just didn't mesh with the themes. If I didn't already spend my allowable budget on pins this year, I'd have gotten this one and probably even gone for the LE to get the topper. But alas, I'm gonna have to wait and see what the market looks like for them in the future. (And after just getting a 295lb Rush NIB around my house to my backyard and into my basement, I am not exactly thrilled at the prospect of doing it for something that's 350lb+ but that's a personal problem I just need to get over)

Lexie is the best game on there in my opinion.

Super intriguing. I need to play a P3, preferably with Weird Al when it’s out before deciding if this is a thing for me.

I was surprised, but not terribly disappointed, that Another One Rides the Bus didn’t make the cut. I remember tuning into Dr. Demento on my little transistor radio just to hear that song!

I love funny pinball games, especially if they shoot well. Bravo so far on this one MM!

Lexy is a great game and light out multi ball is a favorite of mine but I love all of them ccr with all the leds and mag acceleration and what can I say about heist I am always blown away with the quality of the voice work and it’s a ton of fun.p3 was a tough nut when the bill came in I bought everything at once including lagoon but this ain’t a cheep hobby.

wireable it's not open source - there are reference applications for the existing modules and an SDK. A few people have rolled their own games on the platform so far. If you're interested PM and I can get you Slack or Discord links!

I don't know if any of you that are on the fence on buying a P3 / WAMH are twitch streamers but if you are you should check out the Twitchbot features they built into Heist. I don't know if it's in any other of the games on the platform but it lets viewers of your stream put in certain codes to cause the game to do things, like send a police car in Heist. Some of these are free and some of them that really disrupt the game like "lights out" cost bits which basically means the viewer is paying to f**k with you while you're playing. I don't watch a lot of live streams but I was pretty impressed with that little bit of coding right there!

Here's a demo on Cosmic Cart Racing where we do Twitch connect AND play online against each other. Gerry explains how it works at the start too:

I've made it a point to add it to all of the games I've made (it's a fun challenge to think up creative ways to help or hinder the streamer).
Kevin, do you know if it exists on Multimorphic's other games, like ROCs, Barnyard or Shoot 'n Scoot?

I know it's on most of their games. It is on Shoot n' Scoot, but not Barnyard or ROCs yet I believe.

So, when's the Weird Al stream, Kev?

Since the LE package is an "add-on" and ordered separately, does that mean you would get both complete art packages? That might be wishful thinking, but it would be kind of cool to swap between the packages.

Also, I asked in the P3 thread, but I will ask here too. What is the deal with the translites? I thought the entire translite area of the backbox was an LCD? That seems backed up by this:
https://www.multimorphic.com/store/accessories/backbox-display/

So...why are translites sold with the art packages? Is it for early machines that didn't have the LCD? And then for Al, does the LE include a physical signed translite just for framing?

I hope to see play before Monday morning

Hopefully there is a stream before the order banks open. I’d like to see a little more of it before jumping in line

Anybody else looking forward to weasel stomping day?

If you buy an LE, you could just buy the standard art package, and you can swap between the two whenever you want. The LE only comes with the LE art. Standard art will always be available.

Sounds like you are both equally right and wrong.

One art package comes with the P3, you can choose the Al thing if you want.
One art package comes with the le, so if you have already got a p3, you'll only get the LE art.

Is anyone glad they chose "Mission Statement" as one of the originals? Listened to it about five times and just can't figure out why they picked that one. I guess if you love the "Judy Blue Eyes" CSN song it's okay for a catchy tune but don't get any humor out if it personally.

If P3 keeps releasing sweet titles like Heist & Weird Al, then it's kind of hard not to buy it if you have the money. I can easily pull the trigger on a brand new game for 3k.

I'm already trying to figure out creative ways to sell games to buy one. I'm not there yet but I'm looking.

It is one of my favorites on that album, the lyrics accurately capture the BS corporate non-speak that people love to say in meetings to make themselves sound smart. It's probably a bit more niche towards the white collar office worker at a large corporation than something like Dog Eat Dog. Surprised to see it make the cut, for sure, but not unhappy about it.

Albuquerque for a wizard mode would have been amazing though....

Don't expect any gameplay until after ordering opens. No precidence for it from any manufacturer ever.

Get in line in Monday or wait for the early adopters to get theirs first.

Watching a long time. Spoke with everyone and almost bought after Heist was announced. May have to buy this. Current owners - do you like your machines? Are they a pain to move? Are games easy to store/switch? Is the machine mechanically quieter than a regular pin? I’m trying to figure this servo thing out too - did servos replace some solenoids? Congrats P3 too. This looks fun.

I’ve largely ignored this platform until now. After watching a crap load of YouTube today I am stoked and in for the Weird Al Pre-order!

I'm a little sad Biggest Ball of Twine in MN didn't make the cut. Overall pretty happy with the list though!

I’m going to get the P3 platform of course with the standard Weird Al, not the LE. I am going to add the Cosmic Cart and Heist playfields too. Then buy Sorcerer’s

You should really get Lexie too.

I will get a Lexy too, but later

Yes, the wall of scoops is now motorized. Apparently, it makes it possible to auto level the scoops to the height of the playfield. So far, I have not seen any mention of an upgrade path for existing owners.

I have to get this game. Seven years ago I was one of, if not the only, members to list Weird Al as a desired pin theme. I never thought it would happen. In fact I had responses that it would be a horrible idea. I’ve been a pin owner for around 8 years but I’ve been a “close personal friend of Al” (old fan club reference) for over 35 years.

Am I missing why the oddly specific number of LE's?

Yes. I find the P3 to be a fun pin. It's defiantly not a "multiball" factory.
It's clear that each game is designed to be challenging.

Yes but not much worse than a regular pin.

Modules store under the game... you can store about two games before you need to find an alternate storage mechanism.

Adding Cardboard box storage as they ship outside of the game:

and a custom designed rack for two PF modules.

No

Unknown. Many are speculating that the wall scoops were are solenoids in the current gen machines have been replaced with Servos.
I agree it looks like it in the video

If you do get Lexy, get Secret Agent Showdown. It's only $100 and one of my favorites to play.
Also, Roc's can be played with any of the playfields and is well worth the money. Game sounds are incredible.

The number 27 appears in multiple Weird Al songs. I’m guessing they went with 227 as opposed to 200 or 250 as a nod to the “hard core” Weird Al fans.

Thank you Zitt!

Agreed re SAS. It's the best Lexy multiball in its own game.

Same here; it’s a catchy song and I think the lyrics are very funny. I was surprised it made the cut but I’m happy it did.

Genuinely happy for all the fans. This diversity of theme and play is what makes pinball unique and wonderful.

I'd love to play a P3 on site somewhere - love the notion..

Well done, Multimorphic team.

Going to be weird (no pun intended) just shooting off an email and having no idea if a requested LE will be locked up for a bit. But I will be doing just that.

yeah; I'm curious if Multimophic's email server can handle the 9am load.
I'm also in on an LE (module) since I already have a P3.

I'm actually wondering if Weird Al himself is getting a game.

This pin looks really fun and thats what its all about. Love to play this.

Hopefully, he gets #27.

Historically fans who are not already pinheads don't translate into sales, but it's still nice to see all of the attention Al is bringing. Hopefully they can get some P3s on location that Al can promote.
