Aurich, any chance you would design an alternative backglass for this if there is enough demand? I really like the game, features and cabinet (from what I can see so far), but the backglass is pretty average

The aftermarket pinblades are going to be essential purchase on this game in order to get that "world under glass" for pro and premium considering how packed this is with toys and mech. The pinblades are the only real drawcard for me on the LE

The post of the original artwork and Ben's comments about "detail is king" in pinball hit the nail of the head with what was bothering me about the cabinet and backglass. In terms of graphic design and art 'academic perspective', when a composition has balance (I.e portions of low detail, high detail, and say 3 points of key focus), your brain generally reads something as more pleasing. When something is just high detail all over (backglass, under glass and cabinet) then your brain generally reads the "busy" nature of the design as less pleasing.

Notwithstanding the design choice to go detail all over, I am really excited about what has been designed under the glass and think that this will be a great pin in the long run. If an aftermarket one is made, I think that a simple Jurassic Park logo on the translite might elevate the overall package

I agree with this guy. I don't get all the hate for Black Knight SOR. It is what it is, and might not be for everyone. It's the most attractive pinball release in my opinion that Stern has put out in recent memory. I really like the game and if my wife would let me by another pinball machine, i would have the premium in my house.

I get that we all have different opinions and tastes on pinside, but for people who don't like a pinball machine: stern & jjp aren't making anyone on pinside buy it, or anything

Hope that someone dresses up as a dinosaur

The question is not "should I buy it", or "do I have enough money", rather it is "Will my wife let me".

P.S have a budgerigar (the talking bird) that is learning to talk and I am just trying to teach it to say "new pinball", So that I am not only one pushing for a new pin

Which distributer?

All aspects are built into the price, including risk. The risk is higher with lesser known IP such as Black Knight, then say Jurassic Park. I'm guessing that Stern knows that they are going to sell less volume with Black Knight, so likely require a higher profit margins (I.e lower BOM). That way a game that sells less volume and risk is higher, it can still be profitable.

I am guessing that as Stern is aware Jurassic Park can sell higher volume, so they can take more risk by having a lower margin per sale (I.e higher BOM). The more loaded machine on JP also helps to drive volume.

...just my guess what happened

I think that Jack Danger is a really positive thing for pinball in general. His videos and streams are entertaining and have a positive slant. I imagine it would take a fair bit of work and time away from family to do what he does, but I'm thankful that he does do it.

I'm just watching the stream as in Australia and was at work when it was live. Looks pretty fun. The animations look even better than black knight.

Wish that there where more nedry callouts and sound samples from the movie, but overall this game looks like a must buy for any new in box purchasers
