Quoted from navajas:Without that score and sound design it's not even close to the same movie.
I agree!

Quoted from navajas:Without that score and sound design it's not even close to the same movie.
I agree!
Quoted from hAbO:magine Robots, monsters, zombies, boobies, fire playing Thunderkiss, More Human than Human Dragula, Superbeast, Living Dead Girl, Spookshow Baby, Meet the Creeper or hell...just the entire Hillbilly Deluxe CD.
Sounds like my gameroom!
Quoted from riggy469:Fixed that for ya, buddy!
Thanks! Phew!....what was I thinking...
Quoted from SkitBPinball:I'll try to have something up here soon. UV layer is coming together kind of as one-big-job deal, but I'll see if I can get the artists to isolate a major part of it for me to get at least a proper teaser out there.
Er, don't do it tonight...gotta get some sleep...
Quoted from molspin:Is it pre-tapped for a shaker? Are you supporting a shaker?
I think that's a firm ah tive
Quoted from navajas:Maybe I'm selfish, but since I have no interest at all in a shaker for this pin
Put me on that list as well...
Getting close to your 100k karma party. I hope you saved some gif's for your own party and didn't blow it all out for Rob's party.
Holy crap!! Yeah!!!...hopefully we'll do it tomorrow. BIG party! I'll bring the gifs, you bring the Tequila...the rest of youz Jersey Boyz bring the coleslaw...nod nod wink wink!!
Here's some HOOTERS to get started!!
Quoted from SkitBPinball:Confirmed for 2013, not only will we be attending Allentown's PinFest
(Insert Arnold yell here)
Key Kevin....to make it easy...if you need something done in bulk...I don't think anyone here would not want to put in another $250 or even $500. Then keep the plan the same. (I'll buy my own Topper and don't want a Shaker Motor)
Quoted from mrpostman:I am not sure the next one will be "R" rated.
I thought they said the next one would be in a light hearted vein....
Everybody has a favorite number for one reason or another. It's just nice to have that number on a machine. ...at least, for me.
#55
...5 is my favorite number...
So the price of the game ...oh, never mind! I thought it was $4500, but we already sent $250....duh!
Quoted from daley:I do not think it is private, so hopefully Kevin does not get upset, but here you go:
Ok...who's gonna start the Poll to see who's going with what option...
Quoted from oopsallberrys:my choice depends on what is at Allentown
Not bad thinking there...
Quoted from PinManV:I really don't think the link and email should have been posted here,
Well I guess it's ok as it's just been posted on the Predator Info Thread...
Quoted from cmproductions:Getting close! I'm good paying up front now I'm not tempted to spend it on Metallica!
Good plan! I'm gonna play the game at Pinfest and then decide which Level to go with.
#55
I think this new payment plan is just an addition. If you don't want to do it, the half down when start, the other half before ship would still be good. Right?
Quoted from SkitBPinball:We'll know soon. A little birdie told me to keep an eye on Pinball411 for that info when it lands.
I like the sound of THAT!!
...in 6 days (for some...5) a bunch of us will be standing around the Predator machine laughing and playing...
...anybody else here startin' to get a bit excited??
Hopefully, you'll have pix and video a day before I'll get there. But, I'll take some...just in case...
Quoted from bangerjay:Has anyone coined the phrase " Get to the toppa"
If not I claim it
It's all yours....
Just got home. Put in some good time on Predator (Hawaiian Shirt, pocket full of cigars) ...and like it even more! Only took a few pix...forgot to go back for video because I met soooo many Pinsiders this trip! Fun stuff! ALMOST bought a Bone Busters, or whatever the hell it's called....
As mentioned...when i played the game I asked Kevin if they put a shaker motor in there. When he said no, it's just the sub woofer thingy, I suggested to use it with some low tones AS a shaker motor.
...the ramps are still proto and the real ones will be better. Someone at the show even said they would look into a metal ramp mod.
....and, yes, there will STILL be some surprises in store..
I personally thought the game played great. The Toys and Plastics Art will really bump it up a notch. Sounds were fantastic!
Quoted from hAbO:Lastly, take one of the "Predators" off of the translite or speaker panel.
It's coming off of Speaker Panel.
Quoted from luvthatapex2:The ball lock (claw) on the left was really different. I like it.
Yeah! Can't wait to see that all done...
Ya gotta realize....no matter WHAT they do, somebody is not gonna be happy. They are trying to take in all the suggestions and then still make the game they want to make. Too many cooks...
Quoted from PACMAN:What?? Are you crazy? I'm more stoked now than ever!!!
I'm in that boat!
Quoted from hAbO:We might have even bumped into each other at a horror con at some point.
I'm sure. I did plenty in that area...Fanex, etc...Come to Chiller and hang out sometime!
Check out This Thing of Ours. We had a pretty good budget. I actually produced, co-directed and wrote it. We had James Caan, Frank Vincent, Vincent Pastore, Pat Cooper, Chuck Zito...and more...
Quoted from hAbO:I used to belong to Fanex and help out at the cons...small world
Then you remember the Ted & Fred Show....
Quoted from Whysnow:SPILL the BEANS! There are no secrets in Predator club.
The First Rule of Predator Club....
Yeah, wow! I brought the camera just for that purpose. As I said, I got sooo wrapped up playing and getting the behind the scenes dope, I just forgot!
Quoted from TigerLaw:LOL Dude, everyone from this thread went to blondetall's party thread
True! Hell, let the guys take another month or two before showing us anything....
....BACK to the party...
Quoted from rai:I have a feeling a lot of people on the waiting list are going to be happy.
Nothing wrong with that!
Quoted from Jvspin:It looks like his body was rotated ever so slightly to make him face forward more.
The changes make it LOOK like that.
Quoted from rai:My point, this was supposed to be a project where the buyers had some input.
We DID have SOME input. But everyone is going to want something different and the machine would NEVER get finished. There has been no secret with where they were going with it. It is what it is, if you don't like what you see and it's not for you, just drop out and let someone that really wants one get it. (JMDAO)

Quoted from navajas:I'd rather read that than ceaseless pony jokes that were banal at best 50 pages ago.
Watch it! Blondetall might be listening....
Quoted from playboywillis:And I think the "give up your spot" posts come from people wondering why anyone would still have doubts on layout when it's been exactly what it's been for a year.
And BINGO was his name-o...
Quoted from roc-noc:With over 4000 messages in this one, isn't it about time to start a New Predator info thread?
There IS an info only thread...
Quoted from Jetzxi:Did you enjoy Blondetall's ponies?
Hey! That's rather personal!
Quoted from maddog14:Gary Stern saying that it costs a million bucks to develop a pin.
That's for Gary Stern who has a building, high paid developers, and plenty of employees with health care...we got a few guys in the basement...
Quoted from TigerLaw:He mentioned earlier that he hoped the next major Predator update would be the last
Noooooo! I like it better when we get to see it a small piece at a time....
Quoted from flashburn:The coverage at the last show was pathetic!
Sorry!...some of us were too busy bullshitting with the Boys and Playing the Game....
Quoted from Betelgeuse:I'm still not clear on the purpose of taking the game to shows with this setup.
They keep getting asked....
Quoted from TigerLaw:I personally feel this is the safest $4,500 I could spend on a pin.
After $250 deposit, natch...
I think we all see the project for what it is and respect the Boyz! I agree, the level or assholeosity here has been low....
Quoted from shootar:I prefer turnips over parsnips. But each to their own.
I prefer oysters over snails....
OldPinGuy! I just saw that picture and was cutting out the background when I took a break and checked Pinside. I was going to print on it......I'm waiting right here for the next update!
Quoted from Kcpinballfan:I wonder how many people that don't frequent pinside are thinking this lol?
I wonder how many people know where that quote came from?
If anyone is not ready for the craziness, waiting, etc...get out now! This way you don't have to whine about it. When they have something to show us, they will. When the game is ready, it's ready. Reeeelax....
Big discussion about all this stuff at Allentown. Tough to give a date as they saw the shitstorm with JJP. ANYTHING they say will be taken as gospel and the crap will flow ONE DAY after the projected date. Saying they are hoping for this year is good enough for me.

Quoted from iceman44:I'd say get out now and save yourself the agony or stick it out and reeeelax, cause it will be a similar journey....
My opinion is that it will NOT be a similar journey. I don't think we will be waiting 2 1/2 years for Predator. This is not WOZ, as stated somewhere above...
I would really be surprised if a machine wasn't ready by the end of the year. (and don't say which year!)
Quoted from Pinballdad:I am right for asking for something I am entitled to and you are wrong for telling/instructing/ordering other people to do something because you just do not agree with it.
Yes, you are right asking for something you FEEL you are entitled to. But, this is a different situation. Would you call Stern and ask them where your machine is on the build list after you gave a deposit?
We have a unique situation with these guys. They are doing the best they can, I feel.
It's also your right, if you feel you have been treated unfairly, to drop out. Just because we gave a deposit, I don't believe that gives us the right to demand they drop everything and answer every question asked here. ...but, yes, it is your right to ASK. JMO
Just read the Ain't It Cool story. Yeah, it may be a new Predator film...OR the original in 3D! I think Jurassic Park did pretty well. I also forgot about this line..."Ya cooked up a story and dropped da six of us in da meat grinda!!"
Quoted from Betelgeuse:My type of girl, Ted!
Yeah!...either one of those two are fine by meee!
Quoted from blondetall:Does this mean tons of people are dropping out right now, or just that Kevin is finally getting caught up on emails?
Not sure if there are TONS of people dropping out. We knew there would be a bunch when it got serious. There are also some trying to figure if they want a Predator, Star Trek, Hobbit, etc. Many can only afford one a year.
Quoted from The_Dude_Abides:Most of the time we want pins in the house now not later.
Exactly! I was told by a few people that they decided to get something NOW, rather than wait.
Quoted from blondetall:o I'm sitting in the "patiently waiting for an update and my Predator" corner.
I know what you mean. I have a chance to get a Star Wars/Revenge or a Cosmic Gunfight. Grrr!
...AND, I collect other things, so the money has to get spread around. I'm looking at a $40k movie poster....
Yes!...I have seen them ALL! Great show...and many of my friends have been on it. The Chitty Chitty Bang Bang show was great as well...nice to see Dick show up!
Quoted from The_Dude_Abides:I have a nice NOS movie poster I can give to you for the very reasonable price tag of $19.5K.
Ok....which film?
Quoted from Aurich:The Deadly Spawn.
Ohhhh, you ment $195! 4794_93995130919_90505220919_2049437_6.jpg
Quoted from Plungemaster:I understand. Lets forget about it.
Why do I see you saying that looking like your avatar...
Quoted from Jetzxi:Email has been received and nothing has changed.........I still suck!
YOU suck?? I haven't gotten an email yet....
cool topper?

Quoted from Whysnow:pretty sure there will not be much change to the art at this stage..
True
Quoted from The_Dude_Abides:I like this one.
Oh, I can see it now....alternative translite A, B and C
Am I the only one that thinks THIS might come in handy....
ebay.com link: Predators Trophy Skulls Accessory Pack NECA Online Exclusive
Quoted from iceman44:not sure about the open mouth thing though!
There should be an "open mouth" image somewhere on the machine, no?
Quoted from NinJaBooT:Looks like he does good work!
Great stuff! If you need anything, I'll hook ya up!
So far, just from comments here:
1) Skull on right has to be re-worked, drilled out, or made smaller so it fits correctly. I think this will be done as the existing one looks to be held on with zip strips.
2) The Hanging Guy is probably going to be re-worked as it looks like it was just hung in there with wires exposed, etc.
3) I feel there HAS to be an unmasked Predator face in there somewhere. Maybe when the UV lights come on.
4) Yes, we NEED to see gameplay. I hope everything works out ok and they sort out the problems both personal and business.
HEY! Let's not be too hard on the boys!...remember...STERN does not have a working Star Trek LE at the show because of "issues".....just sayin'...
Quoted from PinballConspiracy:Yes but what they do have at least looks amazing!
Predator looks pretty amazing to me....
Quoted from NinJaBooT:Didn't Kevin say there would be something in a couple days?
It's like that Free Beer Tomorrow sign....
Colored inserts or not = don't care. What I DO care about is that you take your time and produce a great machine. Don't let a 'time schedule' make you rush through things just to get it 'out the door'. We can wait.
Quoted from IdahoRealtor:3 lasers and sweeps the playfield during hunt mode.
Hunt Mode
hunt mode.gifQuoted from hAbO:I dont know if it was answered here or not but is the spine on the skull going to line up over the VUK?
Yes, they will address that and the Hanging Half Man
Get em' now!

predator climber.jpgQuoted from fattrain:and he's not involved with Zombie Adventureland anymore
What happened there?
Quoted from Whysnow:I don't think a single coil with a body on a stick is really major, is it?
Hey...I'll take whatever I can get. If they can do it, I'm all for it.
Quoted from SkitBPinball:Why does Ted always tell people to bail??
I was being sarcastic. I have no patience for people that have no patience.
Quoted from luvthatapex2:So is this the final playfield that will go in the game? If so awesome. Whats the next step?
Coming VERY VERY soon!
Quoted from shootar:Never seen a thread with so many "I want"'s in it.....
...and now another one!
OK.....HERE IT IS! THE NEW Predator VIDEO. See the UV Playfield....and more!!
http://www.thedeadlyspawn.com/pinball411/predator-pinball-skit-b/
predator-unmasked.jpgQuoted from Whysnow:Also, what does "around $4,750" mean?
$4,750, plus shipping and whatever extras you might want..."around $4,750"....
Quoted from Whysnow:Ted, are you now officially part of the SkitB team?
We are ALL part of the Skit-B Team...
Quoted from NinJaBooT:The UV layer looks badass. Great work guys ( Ted included
Thanks!....Yes, a-hem, posting that link was hard work!
....after following Jack through the process with OZ, it just amazes me what Kevin and his small crew are doing!
Now, THIS should be a Reality Show!
Quoted from Betelgeuse:When was the last time a game was made with gore at all?
There is one....someone sent me a pic of the playfield a while ago....I just don't remember what it was! ...anyone?
Quoted from Honch:This looks like it's going to be a pretty cool pin.
You bet your skin!
Quoted from underlord:The good the bad and the pony! Love it!!
...don't encourage him!
