Quoted from Bowman9:System11 - I have been wondering the same thing.
Kinda like BTTF where they got the rights to the movie, but not to Michael J. Fox's likeness or voice.
I thought there were a lot of hoops to jump through to get a license.
Sometimes it just takes a phone call....
I've never been a big fan of Shaker Motors. For whatever reasons, I've always felt they could shake something loose on the machine. It's just me....
Quoted from T-800:Vibration is the natural enemy of any electro-mechanical system... But the shaker motors are pretty cool IMO.
I know they're cool, but....as you say...Vibration is the natural enemy of any electro-mechanical system
Any chance you will have a SkitB regular shirt (with buttons) as I don't wear Tee's.
I want to support the team while I'm out there...or on a Film Set or Convention....
Ok, Kevin. I want a button shirt. Long or short sleeves, don't care. 2XL
Where do I send money? PayPal ok?
If they get your email...don't worry about it. Best way is to send ALL your info..name, address, phone, etc, and say you'll take any number. Make it so!
I think a few of the games they said they liked, I'm not a fan of (the one with the kid riding the big furry thing)
Ok, Kevin...if no Alien...how about John Carpenter's The Thing? We got your flying saucers, aliens, monsters, flame throwers...er, no women.....hmmmmm
Quoted from Honch:That's a bummer. It could be one of the most versatile themes around. A horror/comedy/sex theme (which is exactly what Elvira is about) would sell like hotcakes in the pinball world (IMHO).
I think they would sell 50 the first day.
Quoted from SkitBPinball:but honestly, I think the "LE" idea should be done away with altogether.
That's for damn sure!
...and hey...if $250 is ok for you...it's ok by us!
Your Super Secret Military Application sounds great!
Using something other than wood for a playfield....also sounds interesting!
Go with the new!

Playfield out of a new material? Military Grade Coating? Hah! YOU GUYS could change the history of Pinball!!
Yes, Ice. I've made a decision as well. I'm not supporting the Stern method of having different machines (LE, Pro, Semi-Pro, Prem, etc) The WOZ method is best. Basic gameplay and all toys are the same. Bells and whitsles can be added later. Prices are getting crazy. My rich friends will not pay $8k for a pinball machine! (I need coffee)
Quoted from GrueLurks:So, who needs a topper for their Predator?
Where did you get that?
Quoted from gambit3113:How many times does Robin have to ask for that not to happen here?
Yeah, but you keep complaining about Jersey Jack all the time...and that gets tiresome too.
Quoted from system11:From time to time, I wonder 'is that idiot I put on ignore for spamming gifs still doing it?', and now I know he is.
Yes, El Dorko, please keep the Ignore button warm...
Quoted from PappyBoyington:LOL, I did the same thing to him. Asked him to chill a bit on them and he gave me a smart ass answer. To the ignore bin he went and my Pinside experience just got better.
Pappy
And let's keep it that way. (I know he checks up though to see em')
Quoted from iceman44:Great Gif's Ted....don't let the "bastards" wear you down...
Thanks Ice! I don't...I just consider the source...
Yup!...Here it be! Good evening, everyone. This email is simply to confirm that we have received your holding deposit in good order and that you are locked into your position on
the pre-owners list. We thank you for your continuing support in this massive
undertaking; without you it would not be possible!
Quoted from SkitBPinball:The shirts we sent out were all the shirts that were formally ordered. For those of you who donated early, they will be sent out shortly. And Ted, I fully expect to see a gif of you in your new shirt on here doing the Truffle Shuffle or something when you get yours.
You got it, pal!
Quoted from playboywillis:Hey Ted! They didnt forget about you man!!!
(If your shirt doesnt have buttons I can't imagine the firestorm)
Yes, I hope they make a Special one for me with buttons.
Quoted from blondetall:I'm seriously going to be upset if I don't get a pony in my goodie bag.
I'm not sure I like the sound of that...
Looks great. Are those targets in front of the flippers further back than the game at Allentown? (still not crazy about them )
Everything looks like it's really coming together! Thanks for the peek!
Oh, I had to offer up a pic to prove that I'm indeed a human female on another thread, and told them you could verify if need be. While looking for pics I did find one that looks sorta cowgirl-ish, so I thought I'd share it. (Wow, even in sepia tone I am glow-in-the-dark white.)
Alright, I put up a New Thread for New Info, pix, etc....we'll see if The Skitsters put something there....
Quoted from navajas:Isn't that like a sci-fi writer never having read Bradbury? An anthropologist who' never heard of Richard Leaky? Or, uhm, a 17 year old boy who's never laid eyes on Giana Michaels?
hah! Most of my stuff is in the sci-fi end. No excuse, I'll watch it tomorrow!
For my Predator Gameroom....
#55
ebay.com link: PREDATOR LAMP CLASSIC HOLLYWOOD HORROR SCI FI MONSTER CREATURE ALIEN
Quoted from The_Dude_Abides:Not a bad idea I wouldn't mind coordinating that if Skit-B wanted to do it.
Excellent idea! Thanks!!
Hi Kevin. To keep costs down I don't think it would be a bad idea to have us buy our own Toppers. Just like the Shaker Motor set up. I'm not a fan of Shaker Motors and I know some are not fans of Toppers.
Quoted from TigerLaw:But it is good to know that the game will be released this year.
I don't even like him saying that!
Quoted from kvan99:can't wait to hear that Predator clicking sound in my game room..it should be an attract sound...no music no speech just the clicking...right?
Right!
The number should be low, but as stated, there WILL be changes in peoples situation. Things might be greatly different 3 to 5 months from now.
Yeah, that's what I mean...the number SHOULD be low. BUT, who knows what's gonna happen with Metallica and Star Trek. The timing of the release i feel is gonna be important. What do you think...
Yeah, I like being #55/90. By that time we'll have a good idea what's going on and probably have played the game itself!
Quoted from GravitaR:Oh yes I can a few pieces at a time till I have the whole machine!
Pinsiders Will Find A Way!
Quoted from hAbO:I'm so excited for an update I fell out of the bathtub.
I laughed and don't even know WHY that's funny!
Quoted from blondetall:I'm rocking about 7 inches of cleavage today
Pix or it didn't happen...
Quoted from blondetall:Ted... I don't think you ever leave Pinside.
I don't...I have that chip in my head.
Quoted from SkitBPinball:PS: Ted, I got your email and we're still on
Whoo hoo! NOW I'm really happy!!
Quoted from BackAlleyMatt:Very true!!!
Hopefully, one in the Goodie Bag as well...
It's important that Kevin says, it's his best guess when games will be shipped. Let's not start THAT shitstorm again! I'd be thrilled having games by Christmas...and, if not, no biggie!
Quoted from Whridlsoncestood:Maybe we will see the latest prototype they have been working on.
Yer gonna have 100 people looking at the artwork and 100 opinions. At some point ya gotta take it in and do what YOU want to do. No matter what, SOMEONE is not gonna be happy. Don't knock yourself out with every little comment. If the art stayed as it is now, I would not be unhappy.
It's great that you were able to make some changes, but, this COULD go on forever...
Quoted from Jetzxi:They were never a big fan of shakers but since I asked, they would add the code and a harness so that we could put an aftermarket one in if we wanted.
Yes, it was great talking with them because I FINALLY found someone like myself that is NOT a fan of Shaker Motors, Mini-Playfields or Multiple Flippers!
It just always seemed to me that putting in something that shakes a machine full of electronic equipment is not a good thing....
Quoted from The_Dude_Abides:It's not going on forever since they said this feedback needs to be in quickly because they will be running with any changes and coming up with the finished art package very soon.
Hopefully by Pinfest!
Quoted from SkitBPinball:Ted's a little off
Not the first time I've heard this....
Quoted from NYP:I think toppers are stupid
I think colored trim is stupid
I think shaker motors are stupid
Thanks for your stupid opinion...
Quoted from SkitBPinball:If we have updated playfield art but the newest game isn't done, we'll definitely bring a new print of it with us.
Sweet!!
Quoted from SkitBPinball:Predator is one of those movies where you very rarely catch the beginning because you always find it on cable already in progress and just go from there
If that happens, I just pop on the Laser Disc or DVD or Blu Ray...
Quoted from Half_Life:Yep, got mine. Most stuff was known from the posts on this thread.
Yeah, I got excited there for a minute thinking there was a Big Announcement.
Quoted from SkitBPinball:Most recently I caught our name come up in an interview with Dennis Nordman on the Pinball411.com
Thanks Kevin!
