Is the pre-buy list closed? Is there a wait list?

I would like to join either list.

Thanks.

Predator #127 + Nemo for me.

If the purpose of the deposit is to separate real buyers from place holders, then I think 10% (or $500) is a better price point.

I personally feel that you have shown enough of the game to justify a 10% deposit request.

Whether it is 5% or 20%, I'm ready to put down a deposit.

And if any lower numbers bail out, I simply request that you give those paying the deposit an opportunity to switch numbers before handing out one of the lower numbers to a new customer.

No email #127. I did receive an email regarding my shirt. I just did not receive a mass email.

Woo Hoo!! My deposit check cleared my bank on Friday!

Now I just need for 206 games to be completed so mine can be started.

Predator #127

This is just one of many examples of why I am, and shall remain, committed to the Predator Pinball Project.

I was thinking Undercover Brother. Maybe sneak White She Devil as an easter egg.

So here is a Hypothetical situation ...

If one of the remaining 29 has slot #25 (i.e. 25th game to be built), will a wait list person jump the line and be able to get slot #25?

Or will everyone currently in line move up and the remaining 29 slots move to the back of the production line?

Marcus

I agree.

I too think it has that Data East Vibe. Now art experts might be able to differentiate between the stroke technique, shade, color schemes, etc used in Data East as opposed to Predator, but I'm a simple pinball collector. And the style of the Predator looks an awful lot like Data East hand drawn art to me.

Now some may consider Data East art to be poorly done, but for me, I don't view the comparison as a bad one.

Now onto my less than expert art criticism of the the Predator Playfield art ...

I was expecting the art to be something that "a five year old should not see". I was expecting blood, gore and spectacular violence. I was expecting gruesome depictions of skulls attached to spines with buckets of blood dripping off the spine.

Instead, it looks like a lot of other hand drawn playfields. The Predator is holding a candy apple covered skull. The guys are posing for their team photo. Some explosions surround an insert.

I'm just a tad bit underwhelmed by the overall art package thus far.

This hasn't soured me on the project. I'm still committed to my game. I'm just not super excited about the direction at the moment.

Hopefully, a fresh surge of excitement surfaces after the Saturday seminar.

I would like a topper that starts out with the helmet closed, but once you start a wizard mode it opens up to reveal the Predator's real face.

That would be an "interactive toy"!

One way to generate a LOT of Pre-pays is to produce all Pre-payer games before those that chose not to Pre-pay.

The order of the Pre-pays would still be ordered based on original production number.

Being in the 200s, I would be more likely to Pre-pay if that meant I could jump the line over those that do not Pre-pay.

The incentives now for Pre-payment are not enticing to me.

Just a thought.

Marcus

Or ... Somebody use it as their quote on their Predator machine.

Open Letter to Skit-B:

Thank you for continuing your hard work on Predator.

I know that Expo wasn't the success that you had envisioned, but I have confidence that you will put out a great, independent game.

I know some have lost faith and are deciding to drop their pre-order. Please do not let that get you down. There are plenty of us on the buyers list who are still committed to your Predator vision.

Continue doing that voodoo that you do so well.

Signed,

#127 Predator
