    Quoted from Rascal_H:

    Yeah, it's been said to the point of being cliche... but more world under glass stuff. Want to see the ball do more unique things. More magic tricks... like the trunk in TOM or mist multiball from BSD.

    Based on the bits and pieces of what has been shown so far, Homepin's TAG is going to fit that bill. It seems to have a real world under glass look to it, and some really unique mechanisms. (Refer to the video uploaded yesterday in that thread) Worth a look if you haven't seen it.

    Quoted from RobKnapp:

    I searched YouTube " Homepin TAG" And came up withis video. Not sure if this is what people are talking about it is a low res video and you can not see playfield . But the Music is awesome . » YouTube video

    If you read back through the Homepin thread, there are a number of videos showing various mechs (like the Tracy Island mech where the ball launches up through a swimming pool) and toys like the mole (when you hit the mole target, the Mole toy turns on and the drill spins).

    Edit- Some Links below:

    Quoted from Aurich:

    The drill is whatever, it's cute but it doesn't actually interact with anything. But that swimming pool, that's slick. Could maybe be slightly faster, might get old that slow, but very clever. I like things that actually affect the ball and play if you're going to be interactive.

    The drill (The Mole) is concept only and yet to be approved and may or may not make it in the final machine. Although it doesn't interact with the ball, it does add to the world building aspect of the game. It is not just another static toy on a spring. The pool (Tracy Island) I assume will be one part of a bigger multi ball launch sequence. Time will tell.

    Quoted from etlandfill:

    And besides, the interesting part is that it looks like we can add yet another pin manufacturer to the list in possible legal trouble for intellectual property violations. How many are we up to now?

    What a load of rubbish. There would be nothing to gain by either party taking the matter any further. In fact there would be everything to lose. I think everyone should just move on and get back to making great pinball.
