Just one thing which I don't believe anyone has questioned. Forgive me if it's already been covered though.
Can you offer any proof that you do actually have the license from Fox to sell a Predator themed machine? I know you've discussed the fact that you're not allowed to talk about the terms etc.
I know you've done a lot of work already, which you've shared with the community, and not asked for a penny yet but at the minute, it's still a home/fan project which I believe anyone can undertake without license.
Poeple have been burned in the past and I guess I'm just after as much reassurance as possible that this will actually happen.
I'm a trusting guy. There's not a lot of that left in the world. I've been burned in the past myself for being too trusting. My word is worth more than money. I'd like to think there are still others out there. I want to believe this will come good.
I've pre ordered. But that's my heart over ruling my head. It's Predator FFS!!!!
I think about this pinball going to bed. I think about it when I wake up. I think about it during the day.
I'm hooked!
I treat my daughter to a viewing of Predator on Monday morning. She loved it
I also have the soundtrack playing in the car
Thant's the thing about these types of events. You don't get to savour the sound effects of the pin you're playing.
Quoted from J85M:Kevin have you and the guys at Skit B, settled on a final game over/match sequence yet? I like a good match/game over sequence so just wonder what scene you maybe using? "what's wrong the CIA got you pushing to many pencils?" hint hint
Earlier in the thread, it's been confirmed that quote is being used when losing a ball. Not sure if it's for your final ball or just one of the random quotes for any ball.

Looks like my girlfriend's engagement ring is on hold!
That cracked me up thanks BigPhil!
Honestly, I just can't imagine the $hit storm this is gonna stir up when she walks in and sees it. It's gonna be bad!
I'm gonna give her all the SkitB contact info. It's their fault
I had a few friends over at the weekend playing my pins. One of them said "It would be amazing if there was a Predator pinball machine"
I filled him in, giving him all the details. Only 250 being made, etc.....didn't tell him I'm on the list for one. None of them know. It'll be a total surprise!

You were the first kid in the neighborhood with a Nintendo, weren't you?
We're in different leagues here. I'll be the only guy with a Predator Pinball within 100 miles!
Quoted from SkitBPinball:Russo121 said:I live less than 30 miles from you Phil....lol.
Foiled, again...
Just cancel his order to make my statement true please
So.....UK pre orders so far...
BigPhil
Russo121
JonM
johngravenews
And another two from pinball info. PW & Si.
So that's six that I know of. Skit would give us the exact number though
Although, they're being manufactured the way they were pre-ordered, not lowest number to highest. I ordered early on but I don't mind holding out till all the UK pins are manfactured together. Anything to save a few quid
Quoted from Russo121:I live less than 30 miles from you Phil....lol.
Hang on a minute. Twatsville? I've lived in Consett all my life and don't know of any Twatsville within 30 miles of me!
Good listen!!
Skit Kevin, have you tried contacting Arnie via twitter or Facebook? He's quite active these days.
Quoted from RGR:Hmmm I was thinking that it could look better if the word Predator on the backbox was lowered down to the bottom of the backglass so that you can see more of the Predators face??? Either way I think it looks good
If it was lower down, you wouldn't see Arnie and the boys. Why not just get rid of it outright? Everyone knows it's Predator
The way they communicated was something different and very welcoming. It just seems strange that all of a sudden it's stopped. That's all I meant by my post.
Quoted from GravitaR:All I can say about the Pred team is that they are very hard at work on the game and an update is just a couple weeks to a month in coming. Sorry can't release the details.
Cheers, dude!
Quoted from playboywillis:Well, then. Pip pip cheerio (in a British style)
Cheerio is goodbye
Pip Pip, hooray !
Stern making Predator - No
Skit-B making Predator - Yes #87
These guys are making a pin from the heart.
Never thought I'd buy a pin NIB EVA!
I could buy a few second hand pins which I desperatley want much cheaper. Starship Troopers, Star Trek TNG and Stern Batman.
Skit-B came along......a group of guys wanting to make something out of love and share it with other pinball loving people.
I'm a very giving person in life. I'll help the next man if I can. I get pleasure out of helping. Puts a smile on my face. People offer crates of beer, fancy restaurants, etc... but what's the point? You may as well have paid for the help professionally if you're going to do that sort of thing. I'm doing it because I want to and it gives me a good feeling. A smile, appreciation and a handshake is all I ask. I feel like Skit-B are doing a similar thing and it seems they're putting everything into it.
I followed Skit-B for a while before I committed. Loved the whole idea of it.
If Stern or JJP were producing this, it would be $7k easy.......no thanks.
I live in the UK. If I get my Predator, I hope one day, I'll be able to make the trip to the US and shake the hands of the Skit-B team.
I'm a little drunk and full of love. I love you guys. This time last year, I didn't have a single arcade machine in my house. I now have 3 pinball machines, a fruit machine and a video machine.
I need another drink....
No feeling much of the love this morning. More of a hangover.....
Need to read back through what I posted.
**Update**
"New "Reveal" mode is an absolute blast. From a quick survey around the shop, it's giving the famous "Unload" mode a run for its money as the favorite."
I guess they won't mind me posting that
It was an update from them last night. Thought I'd post it here. Looks like they're working on the software/modes
Quoted from jlm33:Oh yes **please**...give us details. You want us to beg?
#91
That's all there was I'm afraid
Quoted from Drano:Wow, 35 unread posts when I logged in just now. I was REALLY excited for some relevant news.
Has anyone been in recent contact with SkitB? Anything?
PRED #3
The update I posted was from Skit-B themselves on Facebook.
