I recommend Butter cabinets for home collectors. Easily the prettiest cabinets on the market. The only thing that came close was the original WOZ ECLE.

Early build, before all the standards.

I don't think I could ever justify the extra price for the butter cabinets personally, but I will say TNA's butter cabinet looks absolutely stunning in person.

Important note. When sales go live purchase the version of the game you wish to buy. Do not expect to upgrade later.

I got butter for ACNC. It's stunning. But for this one I'm going to pass. Depends on how crazy you are for the artwork and if it will actually be visible in your arcade.

I think I read more callouts than the standard. Is that correct?

But, but. My grandma died and I was getting the BS edition for her!

My main concern with butter cab is actually durability. I would have cold sweats thinking of my kiddos ramming their lawn mowers and push cars into it. So far my other daddy toys have mostly survived, but I have a feeling a butter cab would get a nice big ole scrape the first day.

Maybe in 15-20 yrs my house will be safe again....

I would say if you want to keep it the butter is good but that it might not get that much extra on resale and the decals on TNA are very high quality that I’m getting a non butter if I decide to get it.

No. Just cosmetic stiff like the armor and speaker cover (speaker light is extra).

Wait......is it going to smell better or worse?

In that case, you’re going to need a shovel and a flashlight.

I read this as the bs edition gets extra sound/callouts...

Price is $6995 .... The Blood Suckers edition is an additional $525 if you choose that upgrade. With no expense spared on the design, many quality updgrades, video, music, speech, and a HUGE custom speech package from star and co-creater of Rick and Morty, Justin Roiland, we feel this is one VERY special game at a great price!

I read that as justifying the base price

No. I think the last part just referring to the entire game. No expense spared. It’s not well written at all. Should be a feature matrix or point list. But all games should play the same and same sound package etc.

Spooky has made no claims that the BSE is anything other than an upgraded armor and powder coating package. You are correct all games play the same regardless of trim level.

It's one of the things Charlie said that they stand for - gameplay identical between the editions...

Do you just pay the minimum if you get lucky or can you pay extra?

Go back to the garage!

Thanks Scott. When I saw the photos of the BS edition, I wasn’t impressed with the purple. So much so that I’d just rather wait for a standard. Not sure.

The purple really looks alot better in person. It has tons of metallic shine to it and really blends with the cabinet art. Even our team did not like it when they saw pictures but got to the shop to see it in person and did a full 180 they loved it. The BS is purely cosmetic and faster build time. The wording was just inconveniently placed in the email.

How does it shoot more like Houdini or Iron Man?

.... neither! ... I hope! Lol

obviously like neither!

Not similar in any way.

Yeah, I was not going to say that.... but yes, I was not really that impressed with the pictures of the purple at first. Then I saw it in real life and was in love and insisted I get that armor. Take that for what it is worth though.

I recommend paying double, only way to be sure you don't get squanched

Just noticed the toilet from The Old Man and the Seat on the left side of the cab. That episode only aired a couple weeks ago!

Neither. This layout is really different.

I will talk about this more in detail on some podcasts, but I designed the game to have a mix of fun and unique elements that I personally like. There are some modern style elements, some retro, and some that might be new. The goal was to basically make a game that appealed to a majority of player types and skill levels. There are easy shots, tough shots, and everywhere in between.

Also, when I originally put the pop in place of the left sling, before flipping the game, I gave it a 10% chance of making it into the final layout. I powered it all up and immediately changed my outlook to 90%. The reason I chose 90% was because I was unsure what other players would think, but I was absolutely in love with it. I had a bunch of people play it and every single one raved about how awesome the pop was. So it turned from 90% to 100%. BTW, the pop can make shots up the playfield for you.

I’m sure I saw the talking cat on a plastic

So for the additional $525, you get purple trim and the hope that you might get your game before the end of 2020? No shaker, knocker, etc?

Feasibly, you add the BS edition, a few of the extras... toss in shipping and (if you’re unlucky) tax. You could be looking at $8500+ for a game you haven’t even touched. That’s crazy.

Maybe I should've worded my question differently. Obviously, the ball rolls UNDER some of that stuff. After watching the video 20+ times, either I'm blind as a bat or the garage and house are just decorative covers for ball roll areas - not additional playfield levels. I was hoping for something much more interactive like TSPP, WOZ, etc.

I was really close to pulling the trigger on this but after watching the video repeatedly, I'm out. If I didn't already have a satisfying collection (which I am actually looking to reduce rather than add to) or if I were an operator I might still be tempted.

I had a good time experiencing the FOMO excitement and discovered a new (to me) show that I love. Good luck to all of you who are pulling the trigger in t-minus 42 minutes....

So, I'm guessing refresh at 9am until you see a R&M next to the ACNC button? And if you're not a Fang club member it just won't let you buy it?

You are the reason I am buying this game!!! No pressure!!!

In all seriousness though, game looks amazing, this will be my first nib and I'm not worried at all, can't wait!

Thanks didn’t mean to say the layout was like one of those pins. Just that one pin has imminently makable shots (some harder than others). The other pin was called a brick fest. I’m buying without playing don’t want to get a pig in a poke if you ever heard that expression.

Thanks for reply and I love TNA hopefully RM is as great.

Caught some flak for this a couple of days ago. Just curious how far off this was and what Day 1 pricing looks like for standard and BSE?

I was ready to be out...not so sure now after the layout explanation.

Will there be multiple games to select from on the page, or are you talking about drop down selections once you are completing your purchase?

all shots look to be a variety of easy to hard based on width, flipper point of launch, and general geometry. I see some open shots and some tighter shots IMHO (guessing the end of flipper from upper r will take me a bit of time to find; like JP2 shot did)

I feel much better about this now. Game looks sweet.

The light show is beautiful

Any chance you could share a pic that shows off the purple better? I'm struggling to decide which to go with based on the released pics...

The upper right flipper shots seem to be very late (for the garage) and very early (for the inner orbit?) I'm concerned the garage shot will be a bit clunky, and the left ramp will be steep and a bit clunky as well. Hopefully I'm wrong, or it doesn't detract from the gameplay. I'm still in though.

True.

But its RICK AND MORTY!

The left ramp and right feed to the upper flipper look really narrow. I thought alice cooper was an amazing achievement for Spooky, I just thought the shot tolerance was so narrow that it was hard to get into a rhythm to shoot multiple shots. I'm hoping Rick and Morty plays a little faster than Alice Cooper in that regard. As an example, a game like JP, there's the narrow right ramp and right orbit shot but the left T-rex shot is forgiving and a nice bailout. I felt like on Alice Cooper there was no bailout or otherwise forgiving shot.

I couldn't have described it better.
