Are most people having a lot of issues with this pin? Still on the fence about quality.

Thanks. I still feel like I need a bit of a push to get me to buy this one. Theme is perfect for me. I plan on getting Cactus Canyon Remake along with one more pin, just not sure about how fun Alien will be to play. I played it once on location years ago.

Looks like Cointaker is done selling the standards? Not on the site anymore. Tried emailing with no response but I'm assuming it's because of labor day weekend. I was just getting ready to order and the price increase hit and they are not listed on the site now, bummer, looks like I missed out. Maybe they are getting ready to start building the Limited Version and be done with the standards for awhile?

The picture says "1st Quarter 2021 - Sold Out"

Any other ways to buy this? Haven't got a response back from cointaker after 2 emails. The 3rd quarter link is gone so maybe the SV just isn't available anymore to purchase through them.

What is the weight of this pin compared to a Stern? Just curious.

On my Wizard of Oz I had to drill out that plastic piece that is being sanded in the video. It was too tight on the flipper shaft and causing it to bind and do exactly like what is shown. I just took a drill bit that was the exact same size as the hole and drilled it gently back and forth to take out a small bit of plastic. Not sure if that's what is going on here but that was what worked for my WOZ. My WOZ flipper was so tight it wouldn't even return back to it's normal position during play.

Alien theme is much better in my opinion. Godzilla layout looks more creative and unique. Tough call. I'm trying to decide between Godzilla Premium or Alien.

Looks like you've owned a ton of pins. How is Alien ranking with you in terms of fun factor and layout compared to other pins you've owned?

Good point. I recently played Mando Pro and Premium on location. Also played Turtles, GNR, and a few other Sterns. Decided they were all fun but didn't want to own any of them at current prices. I think what's holding me back at the moment is the reveal of Alien LV. I think the standard version is looks great but I want to see what they bring to the table with the LV, and I already missed out on the lower prices so I have nothing to lose but time at this point.

Anyone think they'll add that playfield screen back on the LV?

Oh wow, I just went from wanting this pin immensely to "undecided" again after reading this. Why so many issues? Is it the coding or something else?

Well that just got me off the fence! Just put down my dollar!

Did the Pinball Brothers ever say how many LVs would be made?

I would find it strange if they stopped the SV. It would mean they are only making a fixed amount of SV and LV then they are done as a pinball manufacturer? Anyone have any insight into this? Are the Pinball Brothers going to make additional titles in the future?

So unless the Pinball Brothers state otherwise, Alien will be a one and done project. Once they get enough of these out the door and recouped their money then it's over? I do get a little worried for long term parts availability with these, if you hold onto one for the next 10 years will you be able to get those light boards if one goes out?

So how set in stone is Friday for the reveal?

I think we are all waiting to see if the playfield screen makes a comeback.

Well, if you were planning on a shaker motor and invisible glass to the SV then add that to the SV price and decide if the resulting price difference from the LV is worth it?

The cabinet art does look a lot nicer.

How much would invisible glass and a shaker cost separately?

There is only a $2,100 difference between the two. Some people are saying 3k difference which is a heck of a rounding up.

Yes, but new people that haven't ordered have to compare current pricing. Also you could probably sell you used SV for $8,500 right now.

I put the $1 down but never got any emails. They put up the $1,000 down payment LV link on the site right away. Not sure how the $1 was supposed to work.

So what's up with the 1k listing on their site? Will the people that put down 1k get their games after the $1 preorder people?

Congrats. I'm still a little scared to order. I'm waiting for feedback from the newest batches of orders to see how many issues there are and if they've tackled all the problems. Any new owners feedback would be appreciated!

I'm sitting back and waiting. Way to many issues being reported for my comfort level. I'm a potential buyer if these are rock solid out of the box with only minor tweaks.

So it sounds like these are getting more solid?
