Breaking Bad

I’m hoping for a pro / premium / LE more cosmetic difference (see Star Trek) rather than a hugely different game experience (see GoT).

looks/art it's kind of a step back (I mean from the gorgeous art on DP, Maiden, BK etc..) but the layout looks very feature packed and hopefully not a lot of difference between the pro and the premium.

Hopefully this will be well produced (meaning call outs, display, lighting, rules, music). I have a great feeling that it will shoot well if the Iron Maiden is any indication.

I honestly don’t believe this is the actual LE art, look for something better to be released this is probably a placeholder. Can’t believe the rear hinge is obscuring the main character of the game. I think the premium looks better.

I understand this is a jungle environment and things blend in get obscured by foliage whatnot. To me that’s one reason why the premium stands out by taking the dinosaurs indoors it’s easier to see them.

Lower ball is not captive just picture taken while it’s in contact with captive ball.

I’m still hoping that all the art was a hoax and the real art will blow us away.

So they should give all the distributors a slightly different art package and see who leaks. That’s what Tyrion Lannister would do.

Holy cow!

Here I was debating DP or BM66 but this has got my attention. Not sure of all the details of the pro v premium and the Jeep newton balls looks as if the Jeep will change direction of travel not spin around.

Not sure all the ramps yet but I’m very interested and have the funds to add one.

That sound you hear is all the BK and Munsters pins dropping in price.

The feature matrix did it mention the color lightning effects at all?

Stern will install Mylar under that area.

I can’t see paying that much extra for the LE hardly anything extra. Likely for me the premium or pro.

Yep look at Stern PotC or TWD which has no movie call outs but it does a good job of the vibe of Pirates / TWD movies/TV show.

This is something I love about Maiden too, how many shots you can get while still being not too tight. The trick is the middle of field cross shots.

I’m likely in for the premium while the LE has some features we can add like shaker, glass and side art. The plaque and autograph are not worth anything to me. LE should stand out like ST or AcDc have.

I can't help thinking of this scene where George Gomez is playing the part of Daniel Day Lewis.

Here is JJP who can't get out of their own way either by making games fast enough or by using proper assets or theme integration. I love JJP but they have made 5 pins in 8 years.

PotC they can not make enough of or make any profit if they did apparently. (edit if JJP could make more they would sell more but they don't want to).
TH a lot of people don't care for was a shit movie franchise to begin with.
Woz and DI is great but some people don't love the theme.
Wonka is half and half.

Anyway here is George Gomez talking to the other manufacturers.

TNA scoop eject has an auto ball saver for a second or so.

Some of the best pins have been made by Stern after Avengers like Metallica and ST to name two. It’s almost like a bad experience with a bad game like Avengers and he’s painting everything else with that brush.

Looks fine to me.

I like the premium art package best.

No mistake if you wait and see. These will being made for a long time.

Might miss out on the fun new pin experience but might miss out on some initial frustration while waiting for code.

Tron and AcDc LE went up that’s it. I’m not really thinking BM66 went up at all. Weren’t they like $10k new? I’ve seen the BM66 for sale at $8900.

STLE has not gone down a lot but not gone up at all.

Hopefully not. Love Maiden no bad shots on that pin.

I’m maybe getting a Premium JP2 but also have an interest in Deadpool. Wondering if can manage both?

How does the ball comes out of shooter lane?

My only problem is that Jack is super positive of whatever game he’s streaming.

There is a place to be critical like SDTM reviews and not on a game presentation stream. But it almost seems like Jack is a paid Stern promoter.

watching the stream looks great. I'll likely get a premium.

My only small demerit was the chopper spinner didn't spin all that much a couple of spins (I'd prefer if it was a switch that was used to activate a drone-like motor to spin the rotor).

I think the call outs can be improved on but the game looks very fun especially since I love ramps and the side ramp is not too difficult to hit and I like the side loop as well.

I didn't watch 100 percent in detail but what is the shot on the right side of the jeep?

My only small demerit fro the pin was the chopper spinner didn't spin all that much a couple of spins (too bad it didn't activate a drone-like motor to spin them).

I didn't catch how do you you track the Dinos on the map? I don't get the map (jeep direction) etc..

Yea I’m not too worried about ball hitting the PF happens a lot anyway in most pins heck SM web sling drops the ball a lot more often than T-Rex but who knows maybe Stern is using cheaper wood these days. Hopefully they put some Mylar in pop area from factory. Have done in past like in ST it’s unnoticeable and probably helps somewhat.

Doesn’t the ball fall off clown head on CV?

Don’t know the ball lands up in the upper PF it not being thrown STM.

So I didn't watch the entire stream was too chaotic with all those people playing and the dinosaurs costume. Can someone explain the map how it works and how you can tell when a carnivore is approaching etc?

What are the rules about the raptor pen area?

What happens if you lock s ball there and then drain? The ball stays there for the next player? I guess a hit to a captive ball would count as a lock then.

Let’s hope there is not an X-wing type mode.

Where can I see high res pictures of the cabinet and translight for the various models?

I think all Stern JP club should be in one thread. Not one LE one premium one pro. Also I’m not a fan of all JP games in one thread DE, Stern etc.

ST has a thread with STTNG and ST Stern which seems asinine to me.

Myself I started a Stern PotC thread and I never though hey let’s lump that with the JJP PotC thread.

I’m also going to pick one up pro v premium debate. I have a Maiden pro and played a lot of DP pro and while it’s true that it will leave something on the table compared to the premium, Stern pros are no joke and a good value.

I sold 2 pins STLE and Acdc premium (loaded) for $15k and could buy 3 pro pins (plus shakers) by adding another $1500.

Just think 3 (pros) $16k and change

I'm surprised that my wife is playing pinball she never has before, she enjoys my DI more than any of my other pins.

So what does the action button do??
