Quoted from konjurer:

Just joined the club! For some reason, I just wasn't all that interested in Scooby even though I love the cartoons. I stumbled across a pre-owned CE at a good price and did an impulse buy which is not something I've ever done...usually fret over a purchase for a year or two before buying a machine. After playing a ton of Scooby Doo over the weekend, I'm find that this is one of my favorite games ever! I'm really shocked at how well this game shoots. Every shot is makeable! The modes are so well done, engaging and easy to comprehend. My only minor complaint so far is that I think the user interface design is aesthetically weak. Thankfully it doesn't matter as the rest of the game is solid. Great job Spooky!

Quoted from DaddyManD:

Hi folks. As promised I am providing follow up on my dreaded Scooby launch issues. This is my personal experience and not meant to be anything but that, hoping it maybe helps the next Scooby lover!
Did the slow mo videos and like others, the ball was rattling along the shooter lane as it was being launched to the left. My good friend PinDeadHead also had the launch issue and a fix from Spooky support solved his issue. That was the advice to spread forks 1-2 mm. This worked for a few launches then same issue for me. Tried different coil settings from 50-100, same. I just installed the TSB mod and the problem unfortunately persisted, worked a few times then same issue. Adjusted coil settings, checked shooter lane switch, ball position, same. I do think the mod helped somewhat and is well made and TSB is great.
After weeks of looking at this thing I really felt the issue for me is that the forks were not always coming fully back to rest due to “tightness” around the blue hinge piece. I have had 30+ pins come in and out of my house and am building a homebrew with my sons so know my way around a machine pretty well. And in all this time there has only been one single other occasion when I used a single drop of synthetic oil to remedy an issue on an Iron Maiden (lube pictured…NOT to be confused with WD40). I placed one drop of the Super Lube in the groove where the blue hinge piece is. In concert with TSBs mod still installed, we had 50 launches in a row perfectly down the middle at 75% power and could clearly see that the forks were coming back to rest fully centered each time and the entire plunger was also fully up out of the coil.
Since we have had Scooby we have never had more than 10 successful launches in a row. This is a personal fix that worked for me tonight so far and I am pleased. This did not come from Spooky so decide for yourself if you want to try. TSBs mod is still installed because I do think it helps the forks reseat better as a single contact point. Will let you know if tomorrow its all shit again lol

I was told late Jan-early Feb for BSE shipping.

Quoted from curban:

Sorta disappointed to see spooky go for the topper cash grab.
That said…it looks pretty cool.

Quoted from RebelGuitars:

Cash grab? How dare a company try to make money while giving us something extremely cool.
You can still enjoy the free topper that came on the game.

Quoted from SpookyLuke:

I hear ya. We made a really strong effort to keep the price more reasonable than other toppers as well as offer more content. We added actual licensed clips on the topper screen and custom animations as a full video mode. Its hooked right to the PC so it can be updated right along with the game and interactive with it. Plus being sculpted and mechanized.

Quoted from GCS2000:

It looks awesome!
Are these ready to go or is this basically a preorder?

Quoted from lpeters82:

They are currently in production. The first orders will be shipping very soon, however not knowing how the reception would be we won't have an unlimited supply right away, so there may be built in batches.

Quoted from hockeymutt:

Meh, all this going to do is make people opt for the BSE knowing they’ll dump a new topper out a few months into the run.

Quoted from RussMyers:

How much higher is this than the topper that ships with the CE, i.e. how much more room, if any, will people need above their game to fit it?

Quoted from Deez:

I see on the website it says that you have to order from your distributor. I'm cutting ties with my distributor and have moved to another one and prefer to no longer do business with them. Can I order the topper thru my distributor I used for TCM?

Quoted from RussMyers:

*If you bought your Scooby machine through a distributor you MUST buy it from them!*
What about people who bought their Scooby used from a previous owner? Neither from a distributor nor direct from Spooky?

Quoted from SpookyLuke:

Just order through us and we will sort it out.

Quoted from musketd:

Why wasn’t this topper included with the original game uhh now spooky is just like all the rest unbelievable

Quoted from usafstars:

Sorry disagree, the BSE art package is nothing to go WOW about, that's why 95% of their sales are for CE's. Look at the art package on TCM and LT and tell me you'd buy a BSE? You don't buy a machine in hopes the company will come out with a topper.

Quoted from Deez:

BSE art package is way better than CE IMO. It's the mystery machine. Plus if you've seen the black sparkle powdercoat they use on the armor? Way better than slime green on CE. It's amazing! I'm super pumped I went BSE now and this topper just rounds out that decision.

Quoted from curban:

…of course Spooky has every right to make cool shit and make money off it…and, as I said, this looks pretty cool.
My ‘mild’ disappointment is because until now Spooky has not nickel & dimed their customers for ‘the best’ version of a game like Stern has been doing. Now this is first sign that they’re following along in Sterns footsteps. From business sense…it’s probably the right move…that doesn’t mean I have to embrace it!
Anyway…best wishes to Spooky on this. It looks like it will be very desirable and should sell. Personally, I’m tempted and gotta think it over.

Quoted from BMore-Pinball:

Spooky is a business, their purpose is to make money - it's not a charity
Literally everything they do is a cash grab.

Quoted from RebelGuitars:

Cash grab? How dare a company try to make money while giving us something extremely cool.

Quoted from usafstars:

To be fair, Spooky supplied us with a 2D topper included, now you have a choice for a more robust one. I appreciate the free one, now I have a choice to make.

Quoted from F__U:

The original topper wasn't free. You paid for it by opting for the ce model. I currently own 4 spooky titles and enjoy them all. I purchased direct from spooky and have supported them to the tune of $40,000
This leaves a taste so bad. Am I getting the Xtra fucking modes on the ce I purchased for $10,600 fucking dollars? If not Fuck You Spooky! I'm speaking for myself only so you can all have your own opinions on this. but I'm gonna have mine also. Check my stats I cry and whine and downvote nothing! But this.....fu again spooky.
Spooky please please please please Explain to me how you're not fucking me over!
