Couple of people have asked what it looks like in the machine. This is the photo I took of it installed in mine. We did remove the little lip off of the bottom of the airlock as you can see in my photo above.

Airlock Mod is sold out for one week. I will re-post when I have more made. Working on a hyper sleep mod soon. Thanks y’all!

I’d like to get in on the next batch of these!

Speaking of whether PB will make another game... https://thenewdaily.com.au/entertainment/2021/09/28/queen-pop-up-store/

different article but:

In November, the store will be set up around Art and Design, and will showcase a line up of collaborative pieces including the work of Japanese designer Tokolo, a limited-edition bear from Steiff and a soon-to-be-released Queen pinball machine.\

Pics are hard to see, but it almost looks like a alien retheme? EDIT: different picture shows it is not a retheme.

This is sure to excite a lot of people.

The machine definitely has the Pinball Bros logo on it.

Well, if they used a computer designed pic for the LV reveal they're surely not above using one in that add. Interesting though! I'd say that almost confirms it. *edit that looks like an actual photo! How could they show this BEFORE alien LV.

Looks like only 1 ramp, lots of single drop targets blocking shot paths and upper right playfield.

Should be interesting looking forward to seeing more. Wonder if it's also a widebody..for the fat bottom girls

This wasn't PB, this was in the Queen pop up store and news regarding it. It's sitting there. PB had no say in it I'm sure. THere are 2-3 photos of it out there, not all on the same articles. Probably a proto, but definitely the real deal.

I think the cat is out of the bag. Pinside will be going nuts shortly. A lot of people been wanting a Queen pin.

looks like a mando-esque playfield upper right side of pin? interesting.

It clearly says pinball brothers under the color display monitor. They own it and would definitely have a say when it would be revealed

The license owners make that call. The people doing the reveals were the license owners. They would have given the OK. Thus I doubt PB had any input..maybe they were made aware, maybe not. Who knows, they aren't the best at news.

Huh? Who owns the license to make queen pinball machines? Oh yeah, pinball brothers. And by "giving them the ok" you mean that pinball brothers allowed the photos..which is what i said. You're contradicting yourself. Just Stop! Too early for this shit today.

That's not exactly how it works. Queen (and whoever owns them) owns the license. PB just own the rights to use the assets. Any use of assets or release of media with assets has to be cleared by those rights owners. Not the other way around. PB doesn't dictate what or when things can be shown is what I was saying. I doubt very much they had much say in if those photos were released. That is generally how it works. Not that in the end it matters much...this is pretty much a leak. I'm sure someone is not happy about the timing lol.

Great find.....I want one.

Whats the word for when you have the rights to use the assets? Oh yeah, a LICENSE.

Shhhh , i'm getting a headache

The nuance of the topic has apparently went over your head. Go back to bed!

HAHA......I bet we know someone in London who can go take pictures for us...

Wanna make a POST? part time detective needed for 2 hours in London...

There's already a post for it. Someone posted some caps from a youtube video of the pf.

Damn, maybe I need to go back to bed...

I volunteer to be a Queen Beta tester , it’s really the only music pin I’ve ever wanted

Same here.....if I were to buy another music pin this would be it..I did have ACDC for awhile...

I have zero comment on Queen. But I'll tell you this: it would be nice if you could just have this mythical LICENSE and then do whatever you wanted with it.

It doesn't work that way.

I think at least in this particular instance that we can assume I know more about the topic, when it comes to pinball, than a lot of people.

That's why the real winners just do it, and ask forgiveness later

Hi Brado, thanks for posting this. I may need some clarification , in my case I have a white RJ45 as pictured , however it goes to the backbox computer and is already too tight to be re-routed when the backbox is down it's very tight. The black one which is right below it goes to the right side of the playfield and is grouped with the coil wires. Is that the cable we're talking about?

ya that worked out great for Predator

Did anyone receive other information after paying (Cointaker) about shipping?

All that was found was 7-10 days before its on the water…

Not if you don't bother them. After I paid in May I heard nothing until it was ready to ship - a week or so ago.

Yes... the black cable that goes to the right side of the playfield is the cable you want to route through the loop and away from the coil wires. When you're done, there should be nothing zip-tied with those coil wires except the coil wires. I have my white cable that goes to the backbox running through that loop too just for cable management... but maybe mine is longer or something. The critical ones are the black RJ45 and the cable shown in the picture.

I exchanged email with Melissa the other day.. The shipment due to leave on 9/15 did not. PB was making last changes to the units ready to go. Plan was to have these units loaded on ship this week then set sail. You add in 3 weeks travel and whatnot, looks like 3rd week of October before they are stateside.

Is $8,195 (amount paid) the final amount or was shipping (besides the $400ish) stacked on top?

Asked a different way, has anyone paid more than $8,195 to receive the machine?

That was "including shipping" for me. Advertized as 7777 plus flat extra rate for shipping to equal 8195.

$8,195 is what I paid total delivered to Texas.

Same here

Can anyone sum up today's events for me. Has Pinball Bros Queen been leaked or not?

CoinTaker says it has.

Im not sure it is official, i think it is just a prototype model that was secured for this pop up queen event. 1 of a kind?? although, knowing how they released the LV information, they could not let this be it.. they have to do something more?

Is this not an Alien thread... Why not talk about this QUEEN!!

CI_64300_1339638654 (resized).jpg

PB should of worked in conjunction with queen to do a proper unveiling.. also, i hope that's not the actual cabinet art package. Seems like they maybe didn't even hire an artist and just did that one in house?!
Agreed.. back to queen zeno

That Queen pinball machine is UGLY..lol Looks like someone threw up on a playfield...

Looks very uninspired layout wise

Now back to our regularly scheduled programming of Alien pinball!

Agreed. I think I am going to send my armor, legs and lockdown bar ect to get chromed. I think that will look good on the SV Alien.

Thoughts?

Another band that just shouldn't be done, Metal and pinball works everything else pretty much stinks. I'm a Queen fan but there's only a few songs that have pinball energy. I think PBs needs to concentrate on getting out working Aliens before even considering anything else.

Just sent mine off to be coated in Midnight Shadow. It's a blue color from prismatic powders. Can't wait to see how it looks! Should have them back next week.

I had posted awhile ago, but I'm probably going with this combo that Robertstone0407 did for another game. Should look nice on my Alien SE.
https://pinside.com/pinball/forum/topic/powder-coating-services-offered/page/9#post-4093157

Looks good! I bet pictures don't do this powder coating affect justice!

Has anyone that's in the $1 interest list club been notified about preordering yet, or should we start reaching out to Cointaker directly?

I was, but I would have been pretty early on the list. They are automatically sending out invoices. I assume they aren't hitting everyone up though, probably only a certain allotment for now. I would reach out and ask to be sure.
