Hi, I have seen some of these on ebay,

I think they look pretty good, but you can't beat the real thing. Keep up the good work!!!!!

Pretty cool... You could build one killer game room for your kids Barbie....

"... any suggestions what I should make next?"

If you are looking to sell them, I would stick to the top A-list titles such as MM, IJ, MB, etc ... If they are strictly for your own private collection, I say build whatever makes you happy.

We have lots of EU members who could help you find a real full scale pretty cheap. Thanks for sharing. If my daughter was still in the doll age I'd get some. I'm sure they are those here who have kids that young.

Those are awesome, I might order one for my daughter's stuffed animals to play.

Having looked at the other models of pins on the website, this may be the only way that I will be able to afford a Medieval Madness pin in my house.

If I can ask the OP a question, how much do these models weigh retro-heart?

Looking at the idea of using one of these as part of a topper on a real machine, but not fancying the idea of a couple of pounds of wood falling onto the playfield glass.

These would also make good cake toppers for a Pinsiders birthday or anniversary !

"These would also make good cake toppers for a Pinsiders birthday or anniversary !"

My wife actually had a custom Twilight Zone cake made for my last birthday.

Thanks Retro-Heart, I'm in the UK BTW. I'll order one in that case and give it a try.

Pretty cool.

I bought some tiny pinball model kits which were intended to be used in model train builds. I am using them for little plastics molds, though.

They really look great Retro-Heart! I wouldn't mind having a couple!! Nice work!!

Nice work! Ever think about making one funtional? It be great to play at the desk but not on the PC.

these are so cool!

Those look great. Have you thought about maybe some of the Popular Classic machines that have stylish looks? Fathom and Paragon come to mind. I bet it would look great in a model. Of course, I wouldn't mind seeing a Centaur also

Have you checked out the top 100 listing on here? There are other pinball rating lists you can check out also.

"Ever think about making one funtional?"

Can you imagine trying to put the electronics in something that small??

Seriously though, if you ever consider it, miniature electronics is a hobby of mine. It wouldn't be hard to make a small CPU that just blinks some lights or something.

I got a Dragon's lair arcade game miniature from him. Its pretty cool. He did a good job, although I wish it was a little heavier.

Great Job Retro Heart!

Ok. If you want to continue this offline via email, that's fine with me.

Hi retroheart,

Your work is amazing!

I have a fish tales machine and was wondering if you could take a photo of your models playfield?

I have included a couple of photo's of the prototype working minature space invader machine I made. Mine is not a scale model of the original (I'm not as clever as you!) and in order to keep it as small as possible the screen is not centered, but it is a working machine. The joystick and button are made of lego. Before starting the project I wondered if it would be possible to build a small fully functional 8-way joystick and yes it is! I made one and ran one of my arcade machines with it.. This one is just a two way joystick though as it is all space invaders requires. I have everything I need to make another one which will feature an 8 way JS have the screen centered and artwork.

I did think though that with my electronics inside and your model cabinet building I could have the perfect machine (your 1943 cabinet was the one I had in mind).

Nearly forgot dimensions are 300 X 150 X 150 H W D in mm.

This seller is a thief. Look at his feedback on Ebay. AVOID, i never received mine and it looks like i'm not alone.

Holy_Pickle are you sure about this?
emotions aside for a few link something that can back up what your saying.
we dont want this to turn out like another site that throws mud,
- if your right we will back you however one member above states his was fine

PM'd

Wow, I'm surprised to hear this. I thought for sure the dude was legit. Are you certain he isn't just backed up? Perhaps he didn't anticipate how much demand there would be. Does he respond to your emails?

Thank You Holy_Pickle for getting back to me

I'm now waiting for Retro Heart to respond back

He did once, telling that the TOTAN has been shipped on May 5th....

If it's coming from overseas, it's entirely possible that it's still in transit.

I have bought a few of these models from Retro-Heart, both on and off ebay and have received them OK. He is sometimes a bit slow in posting the models out. I'm still waiting for a couple of models I bought off him on ebay back on the 2nd June, and I live in the UK where he is based.

Typical! I post that my models haven't turned up, and then the mail man turns up with them today.

Retro-Heart goes under a different name on ebay, and has 100% positive feedback with over a hundred transactions. The Retroheart on ebay you are thinking of lives in the USA.

I don't know the chap who sells these models personally, I'm just defending a fellow British citizen.

Nope, the Ebay seller that i'm talking about is from U.K.
I gave all the infos to HELLODEADCITY. Now, it is in his hands. Mine are empty.......$$$

Hmmm. Just been having a sniff around on ebay. The seller who is selling these models to the USA is under a different name and different part of the country to the one who I have bought models from. Obviously the same models though.

The plot thickens ...

Not so fast Holy Pickle said I'll look into it but your the guy thats still stuck.

Got a reply back from Retro Heart and he states shipping to the U.S. is through Royal Mail and takes a week to ten days - obvious your time is going on four times that.
Make sure the address on your bill is the same-
Retro Heart 70 York Street Rossington, Doncaster, South Yorkshire DN110TG U.K.

I looked at Paypal and i can't see his adress. His nick is pink-1976 and his name is Sharon Drysdale.

My ebay auction is there: ebay.com link: ws

His feedback was not as bad when i bought the item...

Yikes! That's some pretty bad feedback. Even if his intentions are good, he's dug quite hole for himself.

I wouldn't be surprised if Bally/Williams or Stern stepped in with a cease and desist letter. how can he sell these without some type of licensing deal?

So the guy on eBay is buying models from you and then reselling them? Is he partnered with you in any way, or acting entirely on his own?

Thanks for stepping in and getting the topic back on track Retro Heart

Retro-Heart, i'm really sorry if i made you bad advertisement. I don't know exactly how to apologize since English is not my native language.

You don't have to replace the pin for this dishonest guy but i really appreciate your offer. Thank you.

Nest time, i will buy direct from your website!
