This topic itches me down under.

This is the first ever pin that is region locked.

#386 10 years ago
Quoted from blue95:

That's not true, late model Sterns wont work in Australia because they can tell the power is 50hz instead of 60. There are ways around it though.

Haha, ok fair enough, . But...... Then maybe this counts for every pin, cause many countries use different amount of volts.

I am not sure but i think UK has 110 volts and we have 220. So, every electric machine needs an adjustment if your moving or selling to or from UK.

I was more refering to the gameindustry, where consoles are often region locked by code.

I dont understand homepin in his reactions, but..... This can be a fantastic theme. Huge potential in toys.

#469 10 years ago

If he said he would have an original pinball with a theme with space rockets, fly mobiles, secret agency in some sort of muppet way....

I think more would be interested i think. Cause that is what this is. This theme has so much potential in modes, toys, lay out. I think it will be great.

Many want original themes, and now we read its not good that they never heard of it, wont work, sucks when they dont know it..... Bla bla bla....

This theme rocks!

I agree muppetman. And i cant wait when the chinese fload the marcet with cheap, but high end pins.

With these prices one day or another, it will happen. Lets hope they go for quality right from the start.

Still very interested to see the playfield and gameplay. This theme is really fantastic for pinball.

#878 10 years ago

Ok.....

Lets talk about this pin. What do you guys expect from the lay out. And the toys? Some awsome options available.

Self-aware..... Lmao.....

Homepin, just use the ignore button for the few haters.

All they do is trying to upset you, make you angry. They are good in it, cause they never cross the line (apparently) and all they hope is you make a forum violation in your angryness towards those annoying few.

Cause we have alot of people that like your updates on here, would be a shame if they get "punished" too.

6 titles sounds awsome, good luck!

People learn and change, give him a chance man.

What you guys are doing is much more annoying then mike now and then gets too defensive.

I want to know about this pin. If you dont, or you dont like mike. Leave this topic.

So, everything in the building proces is 3x cheaper in China.

But the costumer pays on about the same price as the sterns made in a more expensive workplace.

Why is that?

-

Cant wait to see the thunderbirds. I think its all very ambitious and exciting. But honoustly, the price is a mayor let down.

Dont see how this can be succesfull on the long therm. To much competition for these numbers.

#1016 9 years ago
Quoted from solarvalue:

I guess we will have to wait and see what the build quality of the game is like and whether it has more features/toys than a Stern game, then we will be able to make a comparison.

Thats probably fair.

But that price stays a dissapointment until i get blown away. But you are right. Cant discuss prices if you dont know what you get. True.

Everytime this topic gets interesting, with some nice pics and info, some fools like pinsanity and rarehero mess it up.

Why is pinside so weak with handling trolls? Kick some one out when the only thing they add is bad air.

I want to know everything about this pin. But all i read is hate towards a man who lost his wife and is trying to finish their dream.

Unbelievable...

Homepin.... i have a question, rather personal. But.... is there gonne be some remembering to your wife on the pin?

Could be a nice way of rembering, just a little touch somewhere.

I can imagine when this pin is shipping to costumers, you will look up at the sky and think: we did it honey.

I hope that will be an fantasic, epic and warm moment for you. Wish you all the best and luck and please remind pinside has alot of good guys also.

Cheers.
