Damn this thing needs to get built, sold & in my basement ASAP!
There is a "big" update scheduled but for the life of me I can't recall the date...
Do you guys know? Was it June 5th or something?
Yeah June 5. Supposedly the same date as the X-Men reveal. Hmm I wonder why that is? Looks like the monkey is made of flat plastic though. Is it supposed to be molded?

The monkey looks like a 3D toy to me. I think you can see the arms sticking out.
Jesus christ already. The updates are funny. We get it Jack, power cord next week. Week after, the speakers. We get it Jack. Outstanding. Best looking pin ever. How does it play? Ship em!
Amazing looking pin. I think the only thing I could nit pick would be that the upper left playfield looks unfinished to me because I see the bare wood. Outside of that I'm loving it.
looks great. can't wait to play this, though part of me suspects this will either be the coolest pinball machine i've ever played or the biggest disappointment ever.
Quoted from 85vett:Amazing looking pin. I think the only thing I could nit pick would be that the upper left playfield looks unfinished to me because I see the bare wood. Outside of that I'm loving it.
I believe that all upper playfields in pinball machines are exposed on the sides to some extent (there may be a few exceptions).

Power Cord Update: Wondering now if it will be 3 prong or 2. lol
Looks like we may get a game that actually has SHOTS, not just a hold-on-for-your-life flipper monkey game.

Considering this update is the first reveal of completed playfields and includes numerous photos it's a bit silly to pick on as an example of a weak update.

Yup, although it only has one ramp it has an amazing number of shots available. Personally I'm looking forward to that spinner and also the flipper return lane shot.
Jack said those pics are about 95%, a few of the concerns might already be changed from what we are seeing. He also said there will be no need for
Cliffy's on there.
I’m hoping that the crystal ball does something other than just light up with different colors. I know that there was some discussion early on about utilizing some sort of projector to display images/video. I guess we’ll find out soon
It looks like the top right Playfield was too easy. Why else would they completely block the flipper and the whole left side of the loop. Top left is kinda obstructed too. The witch has got a lot to prove she dosnt present very well in these pics.
Quoted from Snowdale:Why else would they completely block the flipper and the whole left side of the loop.
According to Jack none of the flippers are obstructed during play. We're not presented with pictures from the proper viewpoint of the player. We'll just have to wait until the test games are out to judge

That's an odd logic. If it was too easy it would've been changed at the design stage. I don't think obstructing a shot it a traditional method to make it harder although it may well turn out that way anyway.
I agree that it looks quite messy on both mini playfields. The witch's tube especially seems to be a big ugly obstruction from the initial pictures. I'm hopeful it'll look better in action with lights but I am worried. Hopefully it'll become clearer when we see the test games.
Does it look like there is only one ramp? Wonder if the ramp system will work kind a like Tales Of Arabian Nights..
Quoted from jackofdiamonds:Its amazing that PGJ can do updates but never release an issue.Scott
I know what you mean. I realize it's a hobby but man even the calendar was late this year and that's it. I REALLY miss Gameroom Magazine.
Halfway through the year and I think I got one issue of PGJ? You think we will get 8 issues this year?

The projector idea is cool,maybe interactive with the ball itself!!
Quoted from iceman44:Well all I can think about now is Snow's pic....a good image to have in mind all day! []

Quoted from pindevil:Halfway through the year and I think I got one issue of PGJ? You think we will get 8 issues this year?
I think you'll have better luck predicting the when the world will end then receiving 8 issues this year. There were only 5 issues last year (one was calendar).
Did you see the other part with the new Stern machine? It was blurred out...but looks like too much red to be X-Men...just sayin'
I never even got the calender, and paid for my new subscription in January. Full 2 year subscription and not seen one issue. Terrible!
Quoted from absocountry2:He also said there will be no need for

Hate to say I told ya so but, I toldjaso
Quoted from B9:Now the pics are gone
Did anyone save them ? If so could you post them here ?

I was going to show my bro the up close pics and now they're gone.

They're back now.
Quoted from spfxted:Man! I can't wait to get to JJP this month and play it!
I'm considering jumping on a flight to try the nearest available beta machine. Will have to see how close one gets to TX, he said with little hope.

I've subscribed for years,but I don't think I can take it anymore.There was an article in Pinball News about a new mag starting up.Wouldn't take much to get me to switch sides.Scott
