Quoted from chuckwurt:Yeah, I have only seen a picture of it, I guess the bowling pins kind of turned me off.
?!
The official rug is a thing of beauty dude - the pins make the rug! And yes ... (I'll say it before someone else does again) ... the rug makes the room.
Quoted from sd_tom:The only game I see there is the CGI one so what the trim looks like (to me it looks almost black) is irrelevant.
Not if I'm a new buyer spending $9K+. That said, I think you're right in that they've simply used a previous computer generated illustration.
Quoted from Rick432:Aaaand one more month until the end of the quarter...
Yes ... SIGH
Onward and upward.
Best to "vote" by letting them know how you feel via a direct communication. Simply abstaining from purchasing any more Kahlua will be akin to pissing in a wetsuit - it'll give you a warm feeling, but no one will notice.
Quoted from Honch:Really? So, they'll probably send you a few coupons, and then you'll be right as rain. That's probably how it would shake out, with the same net result except for the fact they squeezed a few more dollars out of you.
I'm not advocating than you continue to buy their product. I'm simply saying that letting Kahlua know how you feel with an email or letter will have a much greater impact than just boycotting them. Even if every single Pinside member were to silently stop buying Kahlua, it wouldn't register a blip on their overall sales. However, if we all wrote them ...
Quoted from Honch:I get warm and fuzzy Everytime I have a few caucasians.
Me too. And I'm looking forward to enjoying a few while playing my TBL!
Quoted from Pinhead1982:It appears that standard aprons will be on games.
IF correct and not compensated for elsewhere on the game, this sucks pure and simple. Akin to "bait and switch".
Quoted from sd_tom:Yeah, i feel guilty about whining about something that has no effect on game play nor will anyone other than me notice.
I don't feel guilty at all. As has been discussed endlessly on other threads, the artwork is very important on a game and the apron that has been represented all along by DP as part of the final game was a key aesthetic element. It was part of what made TBL unique and innovative. It was something new and different. It helped to convey the connection with the movie's theme.
I'm assuming that this will be addressed in DP's presentation at Expo next week, but as has been expressed, it's really disappointing to find out about this as the result of an email sent after someone else noticed a detail in a photo released by DP.
Quoted from kaneda:Omg you guys saying the apron was one of the main reasons you jumped in on the pre order really need a beer. Like Ben said, they have to put instruction cards there as the games will be on location. Have any of you seen the new apron? I'm sure it's really nice. And you will all change your tune. Everyone's just pissed because they showed a working pin a year ago and still nothing. Man by the time some of these pins ship they already feel old. That's bad marketing .
I don't think that anyone has said that the apron was one of the main reasons that they bought a TBL. I certainly didn't. I did say that it was an important element in the game's artwork and was innovative.
Word is that Expo will kick off a renewed TBL marketing push. Perhaps the two games from the production photos will be there with DP and CoinTaker? One way or another, we'll know in a week.
Ahhhh to be back in Chicago ... Expo, deep dish pizza, Italian beefs, the Cubs in the playoffs, and maybe an actual final TBL!
Quoted from Fishbeadtwo:this is better than the sweater imho. :-)white russian pic.jpg
Why does it have to be one or the other? In fact, why not throw in some of the Dude's favorite smoking material too? Make it a seminar to remember!
Quoted from Tux:I heard that it was too difficult to fit into an apron the amazing technology they're using on the rest of the LEDs in the game that causes the light to go around our eyes.
Let's hope. Enough speculation though ... DP's Expo presentation will tell the tale.
T-minus and counting ...
Quoted from Rensh:Not really a NEW update as much info is based on NSN's but this week the latest edtion of the Spinner (magazine of the Dutch Pinball Association http://www.nfvpinball.nl) came out (1200 printed copies). In this also an article on the TBL
Yep, I know it is Dutch... Sorry
But wanted to share anyway
Thanks - any TBL news (albeit in a foreign language) is better than none.
Gelukkig Nieuwjaar to you and DP!
Quoted from pinghetto:Come on DP, let's get that communication going again!!!!!
