#150 on arcade here! Cirqus Voltaire was one of my faves of all time and this looks to be right on par

Quoted from Makakka:

No...Noho! I am xtra #1006 thought we stay in double digits I want this pin to be ultrarare...flynnibus and levi did a very bad job discourigang potential byers in the main thread.

And why would you want them to not sell more? I'm confused. If it's for sale for consumers, and people like me who actually have been working in the crazy pinball industry for years, then we should be able to buy them... not be discouraged buying them. Is it just because you are hoping for a higher resale value or something?

Quoted from Makakka:

I want it to have some zidware spirit. RAZA was limited to 99 though JPop sold 101 as I remember (AIW was limited to 10 as I remember). congrats you pulled the trigger Ill prob never sell it its just its kind of avantgarde ordering it bc of all the negative bias still in the main thread 2 years ago it was much worse.

I just think people should just be stoked to be getting a brand new version of the Cirqus Voltaire vibe. Gotta keep the faith and not speculate.... and surely don't drop the full amount if you're fearful of the reaper of pinball manufacturing nightmares. Pinball is hard as hell, but also super awesome.

I for sure was not swayed by anything negative here and can only high five all the ones who scored a pre-order, and who will FINALLY be able to get a new JPOP game! The advent of forums, blogs, iphones, social madness, etc has just killed the mystery and excitement of things like this in entertainment. So many times I wish I could go to a time where I didn't have to know the opinions of everyone, and could just daydream of the day of the game arriving... which yes, I will do anyways.

Quoted from wrb1977:

So...those of you that have ordered RAZA, what are you most excited about or looking forward to when you get your RAZA? It could be anything...the theme, artwork, PinBar, gameplay, rules, animations, sounds, call outs, the ultra wide display, a particular shot, a particular mech, the PinPod, seeing what’s actually “under the hood”, kicking Ned’s ass, defeating the zombie horde, it not being just another uninspired Stern, the shade of green used, counting coils, examining the quality of the balls it shipped with, etc. Literally anything! The rules are you can only pick one specific thing. I will chime in a later time that I feel is appropriate as it is my game and my rules!
Thanks in advance for participating...let’s hear it...

I am for sure excited of the build and features only JPOP would ever attempt at producing. Cirqus Voltaire is still one of my all time faves and this looks like a spiritual successor in every way. From the amusement park theme, to the numerous features that look beyond amazing to bash a ball into. It will also be great for Horrorhouse Fest since the overall vibe and theme revolves around the rooms I love building for a hauntcade experience. Trading in the TMNT LE I have now for this, as I'm still totally unsure why I bought that game anyways. This will for sure be the perfect fit!

The game is going to be radical! Imagine if every product had a forum pre-launch... anger levels would cause the entire internet to melt down. I love me some games, and will love this one. I try to never live in the past and attach myself to the specific people making these things... otherwise I’d just grow more and more bitter. Its like meeting that rockstar you loved growing up, to just throw out all their albums because they said the wrong thing to you in that chance encounter...

I have not cancelled. I blew my chance of getting Alien back in the day for a huge discount if I waited, since I had a direct biz contact with them and still kick myself everyday on that. Same thing happened with Big Lebowski. Blew it and cancelled cause I lost my patience. My view is that it's like the stock market... you gotta just keep that patience, and not buy into all the various personal opinions on it... and go with your gut and not the speculations. With only 130 made it's not going to matter what the politics are behind the game, it will be a collectors item whichever way it goes... well, of course as long as "some" actually get made.
