I personally think remaking these old games is great for pinball, but the way PPS has gone about it not so much. They put a pinball machine on sale before they even had a completed prototype, then let us watch as they went through the trials and tribulations of trying to finish it.

The trim issue was a complete joke as months were wasted trying to please people because nobody was happy that they were going with cheap paint instead of what had come on prior Williams LE models.

I bailed early on because I felt the product was being cheapened and realized there would be no way that I could get my money back if I wasn't happy with it.

So's your avatar. Now I gotta go! Late!

I wonder if it will be these.

I found it amusing that he didn't seem to know what a coin mech was.

Sounds like an option you pay extra for. Like available ABS brakes. lol.

You would defend this problem if the game came missing everything inside as long as you get yours and can play it. Like the coin box, the manual, the goody bag, etc...... You don't need any of those things to play. All these items should come with this machine. Period.

Just wait until you have to buy a special wiring harness to make your shaker work.

It was only a comparison. What is important to some, may not be to others. But you would be pissed wouldn't you?

Or do what I did and just bail on this wishy washy project. If they won't give you your money back, we'll get RobT involved.

Class action, baby!

I knew I should have gone to the doctor when I saw that sore.

Probably because it doesn't exist.

I like that logic. As soon as an old one gets to $3500, I may go ahead and pick one up. It may even come with coin mechs.

The truth is that Chicago Gaming makes or made both coin-op and non coin-op versions of the same Arcade type gaming systems, depending on if they were for the home or not.
I had an Arcade Legends machine that was very high quality, but nowhere to put a coin.
Maybe that had something to do with the confusion there.

Yep! Way more action over here. They are still waiting to see an actual pic of MMr on the update thread.

EZ there Trigger! We don't all take our selves so seriously around here.

Depends on which side of the box you're on.......

Even more insane is spending $8000 on something you haven't even seen yet.

That's cool. Those are the only pics I saw, but it had the Williams logo on the translite if I remember correctly. I was thinking there might be some pics of the finished unit out there somewhere, but haven't seen any.

How's that coming along anyway? I kind of lost track after the shitstorm and knowing they would not be available here. I thought it was a great idea, but not many here seemed too enthused. I loved that show.

Rarehero may not deserve one, but I do. That show was part of me. I never really knew when it was coming on, but always found it. I was a five year old kid watching the original Spiderman and Fantastic Four cartoons, but the Thunderbirds just blew that all away.

Where there's a will there's a way, as I always say...

I want to see it first. lol. But I think one of those kits where you put it together yourself would be really cool.
Are you getting one?

Post of the thread!

Sure, why not.

I told you guys Rob would be a good lawyer for defending this project.

Or was that the other way around?

Or a fill neck. They were all ready to accept fuel.

So.... does it come with coin mechs or not?

They're still whining on the other thread anyway. Nothing changes.

Kind of sizes it all up, doesn't it?

This is turning into MMr update thread 2.

Nuff said.
