Great unboxing video, one of the best! I really like the care that Spooky takes with packaging their games. The game looks extremely nice with a lot of attention to detail throughout.
Quoted from ZMeny:Look closer.....
Excellent - purple coin door is the way to go!
But why barely reveal the game front with a mere hint of an edge view in a few video frames? Be proud of your Rick & Morty and show it to us in its complete color splendor!
And fix your misleading promo pic ...

Very nicely done, but who started vacuuming at 13:20?

That Spooky fan, I heard it too. Be ready for some more sales.

My home is full of noises and dogs and TVs and children and, well, pinball. Haha I’m surprised there isn’t more background noise
Quoted from Spiderpin:That Spooky fan, I heard it too. Be ready for some more sales.
Ahh I see what you did there Vireland. Good call it is noisy
Quoted from ZMeny:Ahh I see what you did there Vireland. Good call it is noisy
Sometimes I'm too subtle.
Let me send you a fan. PM me if you want one. I guarantee it will take care of the problem.
Quoted from Spiderpin:That Spooky fan, I heard it too. Be ready for some more sales.
Haha. Yeah, word's getting out. It's not at the level of the spike 500W power supply fans yet, but these spooky quiet fan plug n play kits are definitely off to an unexpectedly strong start, which shouldn't be surprising, I guess - I can't believe anyone would put up with that noise in a home environment.
This was my favorite unboxing yet. The comedy hit on all cylinders and Zach's dancing was great. I must say though I was shocked at how loud the fan noise was. I wasn't sure if it was the game or the recording equipment but definitely something that stood out right away.
Great vid Zach - you are the undisputed champion of pinball unboxings. Glad AP didn't ask you to take this one down
I plan to attack the shrink wrap on my cabinet from underneath to get to the leg bolts. I was holding my breath the entire time Zach made a new incision near the art.

No fear I’m a doctor.....well, not THAT kind of doctor haha

Do we need to chip in and buy Zach a good, sharp pair of scissors or at least a new razor blade? That cutting process was scary to watch. More entertaining than a clean, smooth cut though.
All kidding aside, thanks for a fun-to-watch unboxing. Since I’ve never unboxed a game, you probably saved me from making a stupid mistake when I get mine sometime next year!

Srsly, usual unboxings are pretty boring. It‘s always the same and nothing special happens, but I guess we just watch it because I anticipate the game and look forward to unbox them myself.
With Zachs unboxing videos they add something new and an entertainment value of it‘s own (and of course character/ personality) that I even watch the unboxing of games I don‘t give to shits about.
If think that‘s really a great accomplishment!

Yes you are correct. That was me trying to do stand up comedy, and go SDTM.
Bar far the best unboxing video I've watched (not that I've watched a lot but still)
For sure the best since hot wheels.
I for real l'edol (is that right?) when that Molly Perc hit.
Nice job.

Thanks J! Always have fun unboxing new toys
Interesting that Zachs #1 Shadow is like Gregs #21st, and you can see Gregs love of the Jurassic Park theme in his top 10. Both are the correct top 10 for them.
Moral of the story: everyone will have their own top 10 and what style of game they prefer. My Top 10 has the hobbit in the top 5
I think it's interesting how so far no game has gotten a straight A. I wonder if any game will ever break the A- barrier.
Quoted from DakotaMike:I think it's interesting how so far no game has gotten a straight A. I wonder if any game will ever break the A- barrier.
Fair question though I would ask can you name 1 game that is pure perfection top to bottom with NO suggested improvement? Many are Near flawless but I can’t think of one that is perfect A status.
Quoted from PtownPin:Interesting that they haven't rated MM or MMR yet
Don't know exactly why, but I get the feeling that neither MM nor AFM are personal favorites of theirs. But I'd love for them to do more reviews period, as there are plenty of games out there that I'd love to hear their takes on.
Wow, just watched Episode 3 of SDTM back from Feb of 2017. What a fun blast from the past! Greg and Zach had such wide-eyed enthusiasm for the hobby. A few highlights that I got a kick out of were- the guys exclusively using the term "retailer" over "distro", the fact that in a one-year-period Greg had purchased 2 pins and Zach had gone through 25+. Sounds about right! I also enjoyed their discussion on The Jetsons pinball machine, that's a game you don't hear much about. Lastly, I thought it was fun that you could tell that even though Zach and Greg were friends, they definitely didn't seem to know each other nearly as well as they do now.
A very fun watch for an old fan, and even though it was early days, it's still a very good episode. It was great to just hear them talk pinball for 40 minutes. Look how happy those two knuckleheads are!
Quoted from ZMeny:Oh boy..... Stern just delivered possibly the most loaded Pro Model ever made
[quoted image]
It has a spinning disc with a magnet.
Quoted from DS_Nadine:It has a spinning disc with a magnet.
Surely it must have more if it's the most loaded pro?
Quoted from TheLaw:Surely it must have more if it's the most loaded pro?
Yeah, in addition it has neon coated metal ramps, a subway and 4 TMNT Figurines,....
...oh wait, that was the Data East one.
OK, TMNT Pro has a "static" Party Bus but that's not a "toy", that's just "decoration".
(If this counts Ghostbusters is the most loaded Pro ever. It only has a Slimer bash toy on a fishing rod, but a static cityscape, static Stay Puft, and static firehouse.)
Don't nget me wrong, I think TMNT is awesome from what I've seen, but it's not "loaded".

I mean, IMO it's at least as "loaded" as JP3, and more "loaded" than Stranger Things, at least comparing Pro to Pro. Plus, it's basically code-complete out of the box, which is big deal for pins these days.
Quoted from DakotaMike:I mean, IMO it's at least as "loaded" as JP3, and more "loaded" than Stranger Things, at least comparing Pro to Pro.
JP3 Pro had a Jeep on a Newton Ball... I wouldn't even call that a "toy". (The shots and pure mass of diverse ramps and shots is what is awesome.)
Stranger Things Pro is... Well...
There's a lot to do in TMNT but when talking about "loaded" I personally think about mechs/ toys.
Quoted from DakotaMike:I mean, IMO it's at least as "loaded" as JP3
Stern JP has 4 ramps, 3 flippers and incredible code. It's loaded but in a better way. Hopefully Turtles code is in the same league as JP.
Quoted from rai:Someone is loaded.
Hey Zach is under enormous pressure. Didn’t you see that big green pinball machine lying atop him in the pic? It is obviously crushing his head and depriving his brain of oxygen. Poor guy, I can almost make out the soft whisper of ... I can’t breathe. What he meant to say this pro was almost loaded.

Oh and Greg said he will likely not eat pizza for a long loooooong time hahaha

I'm glad he didn't blow on the video. I was eating breakfast, and I would have followed suit.. And I didn't have a bucket.
