Whatever price they were considering likely just went up considering how people are tripping over each other to send money now without seeing any pics. Spooky was smart to put this little teaser out there to gauge interest. Everyone keeps saying 750 is not enough so they can pretty much charge whatever they want considering what Stern and JJP games cost.

Flipping will be strong on this at first. Getting a low number is basically winning the lottery. People hate to wait in this hobby and will want it ASAP. By the time 750 ships there will have been a lot of new titles released and the hype will have settled down. I'm getting the popcorn ready cause there will be a lot of sour people once the flipping starts.

So how is the number determined? Is it in order they receice payment? How do distributors get their numbers? Do you get a lower number going through a distributor or directly through Spooky? They can pretty much assign the numbers however they want and I imagine their friends and will be among the first to get them.

Shocker

It's all about who you know. Kaneda supposedly got a number less then 86 from Pinball Star.

I been buying NIB pins for a long time and well before it became the popular thing to do. I know all about relationships with distributors and preferential treatment because I have gotten it myself. I was not aware of anyone who snagged a number below 100 that purchased directly through Spooky's website and I didn't know calling in was an option so when he mentioned his number I figured he went through a distributor. I was wrong and willing to admit to my mistake. Pinside please forgive me.

I have no problems with him getting a low number and I am a fan of his show. I found it funny as well that he would be one of the first ones to get it when he stated on facebook the reason he went in on Rick and Morty over other titles was because of the opportunity to flip and sell it for more money when he decides to part with it unlike recent Stern LE's which have dropped in price (i.e Munsters). Which is fine and everyone flips games for profit I just find it ironic because there are people who are dying for this theme and hate that they have to wait months and he will have sold his by then and already moved on to TMNT or GNR. It makes sense now why he never sold his spot because that would have been a dick move to Charlie after he got a low number.

Exactly. This is a Spooky thread. If they want to be negative go in a Stern or JJP thread. Only positive things are allowed here.

My guess is he had someone he knew shill bid just to see what the public was willing to pay for it. Then once the auction was over they canceled the transaction and listed here so there are no ebay/paypal fees. I really cannot imagine someone winning the auction and then deciding to cancel because they didn't want to become a Fang Club member for $45.

Why stop there? Let's just make it #1 and crown it the king that will never be topped based on a 15 minute video.

Thanks for ruining the circle jerk @vidgameseller. Pinside was about to climax before you had to bring negativity into it.

It should be the club thread because god forbid you say anything negative or have concerns about this game the lynch mob comes out with thier pitch forks.

Depends. A tough shot like the hole in one on NGG never gets old and is satisfying to make where as this dribbled back down and just made it look clunky. An inner orbit should be smooth and Scott said it was getting rejected by the spinner so there was something wrong in that video. I don't think anyone made the garage shot from the upper flipper and that is the shot I expected to be challenging in this game.

nogoodnames222 Thanks for proving my point

Were you expecting 60 minutes?

Gotta love our community

So would a shit load of others. Not going to happen. Best bet is to get on a distributor list or just wait a few months and see if anyone bails as they get impatient.

With the video release yesterday the hype train is at an all time high and approaching light speed. Some people will bail down the road as life events change, new titles come out, etc so you just need to be patient.

Why not just have an optional video mode? One button accepts and the other declines and gives you points instead. People who hate them can skip and people who like them can play. Then everyone is happy.

Maybe if Spooky was a threat but 750 games over a few years is a drop the bucket for Stern. Nothing against Spooky and their business model works excellent for them and will keep them full over the next few years.

Nothing I said was negative towards Spooky and when it's all said and done Stern will have sold a lot more StTh then 500 along with TMNT, LZ, and whatever handful of titles they release by the time Spooky ships game 750. GAP has always flipped games and that is nothing new. I know for a fact if a title is hot he will not sell his entire allotment and will keep a few just so he can flip once the market demand peaks.

Why would this get shut down? Constructive criticism was never allowed in this thread and god knows it's not allowed in the club thread. The StTh hype thread didn't get closed when the club thread started so neither should this unless Spooky is treated differently then other manufacturers.

There are two TNA threads (one club and one non-club) so why would this get closed? Nobody is forcing you to read this one anymore.

As machines go on location I look forward to hearing unbiased feedback from others who cannot speak freely in the owners club thread without fear of getting lynched.

So much for that. Guess this explains why you did so much bitching about numbers over the past few months. Wanted as low as a number as possible so you could maximize the profit.

Ok, that cannot be unseen and now it's time to close down the thread.

People are entitled to do what they want and plenty have flipped their spots already. He was just so vocal about the numbers people were receiving and kept posting those lists. I think he is smart cashing out now just like Gryszzz (who likes money).

Not intentionally and yours just happened to be most recent post at the time I made the comment. If it would make you feel better and rest peacefully tonight I could revise my post to include the IBTL post prior to yours.

Whatever happens I am sure you will let everyone know, lol

The owners entitlement far outweighs everyone else. I see a lot more posts with owners saying "hey look what I have" compared to the few who missed out and said they wish Spooky made more. This entitlement is why I hope JJP makes more POTC and Stern makes a TronVE just to knock everyone off their high horses.

Then why even post in the first place. Talk about being a cock tease, lol.

With all do respect Hilton fuck off. 27dnast is entitled to his opinion and you should go back to the owners thread and continue to cheerlead over there. God forbid someone who played it comes here and says anything negative. It's not like he trashed the game and said it was a piece of shit. He was respectful of Spooky and Scott and gave his honest opinion after playing the game yet you want to chase away anyone who has some concerns.

The owners thread is open so you have no business being over here anymore acting like a thread moderator. You bitched when the owners thread wasn't open yet you are still over here after it is. Yesterday when the operator posted about not getting a low number you told him to take that shit over here and it's not for the owners thread. So do us a favor and stay the fuck out of this one.

I did say with all due respect. Sorry but people who play the game should be able to come here and post their honest opinion without being told they are lying just to drag down the price so they can get one someday. He wasn't even negative towards the machine and just voiced some of his concerns.

Lighten up Francis. It was a nod to Talladega Nights.

Thanks and glad we are in agreement.
