Quoted from BallyKISS1978:
Thanks buddy. Definitely been a fun few days working on it plus my daughters surgery. Glad I have the skills to do it.

If I were you, I would have called michelle at sti long ago and had them ship this game back to benton. Dispute the charge on your CC if spooky won't refund. You should NOT have to go through all this nonsense with a brand new pinball game.

And if I was spooky, I would have reached out via PM and told this guy we're sending a truck to pick it up and we're sending you another game. We're very very sorry for your inconvenience.

This is terrible PR for spooky.

Quoted from jeffro01:
That's one hell of an overreaction... May be terrible PR from your perspective which naturally is your perspective to have but from mine, everyone calm down...

Over reaction?

Have you read all of the posts about all of the issues he's had with his brand new $11k scooby doo pinball game? Sending it back and getting a refund is an under reaction in my opinion. He should also be compensated for all his time and aggrivation working on this pinball game while his daughter is going through brain surgery.

Quoted from jeffro01:
Shit happens... These games are jostled around a ton during shipping but that rarely seems to be taken into account. Best thing to do is to take a deep breath, reach out to Spooky, and relax...

Yeah, its probably all just shipping damage from jostling around.

Those 12 holes drilled in your playfield, that cracked mystery van, Those wires that weren't soldered on properly... shipping damage.

Just relax if your $11k new pinball doesnt work. RELAX! It's not a big deal! Just like if you bought a new car and you couldn't drive it. It's OK. Just relax!

The apologists on this thread are amazing. Are y'all getting team games or what?

Quoted from BallyKISS1978:
Your so so funny?!!! When have I ever said I hated the game?? And you would honestly be ok with all the problems I had? Your a joke. [quoted image]

I totally get where this guy is coming from. He got a fucking lemon from spooky and all you spooky apologists are shitting on him because he's posting about it. Thats wrong guys.

If this were my game, I'd have driven it to benton (no matter how far away it was) and thrown it through their showroom window at 1am.

Quoted from cookpins:
Spooky's issue with quality definitely stems from overall employee skills and (lack of) level of care (Mad_Dog_Coin_Op nailed it). It seems that no one here followed the TNA CE release. Machines well into the hundreds continued having substantial issues, and this was on a machine they have built hundreds of previously.
What I suspect from observing that release unfold is that Spooky will knowingly let machines that fail QA still go out the door in hopes that: 1. the issues are just lived with, 2. the person receiving it will just fix it and move on, 3. they know they can fix them later if solicited. There must have been some cost analysis done to determine this is the unfortunate path they have to take.
I'm still a big Spooky fan and have just basically accepted this as one of the brands caveats, which is sad, but it's also not unheard of in a niche hobby.

exactly, like the shooter lane switch that spooky employees tried numerous times to get right by drilling more and more holes and putting the switch in different places... but still couldn't get it right and eventually said FUCK IT, SEND IT OUT! The guy that got this game had the same issues that spooky couldn't fix and now he's left holding the bag. That's bullshit spooky. Buy this game back from him.

Quoted from BallyKISS1978:
Sad some people can’t be objectionable, but just be pure fan boys and apologist.

when you're in spookys pocket like some are here in this thread, you have no choice. You must obey and defend the mothership at all cost lest you not get another early "team game".

Quoted from Vecna:
You can scroll past.

Not if you're in spooky's pocket you can't. You must defend at all cost.

JUST SEND IT!

trying to get everyone's game out quickly (because we are all impatient) and skipped some checks and balances. I could be wrong but I truly believe they have realized that was a mistake.
