how many ultraman games are are for domestic sales?

I would like to hear a bit more of the general sound, as this is very important to me personally. Also what goes on the display.

so its 10am central? 11 east coast time then? and it will be showing up at the shop.spookypinball.com ? (pinball machines)

So I just have to say.. Rick and Morty theme is not more popular. Not sure why so many people believe the horror genre wont justify sales especially at a low edition run.

Here are some company's right now that sale Michael Myers stuff in the so called POP culture we live in today. If anyone is interested in cool stuff in the horror genre then highly recommend you check out the following just to start. A lot of the items will display nicely with your new Halloween Spooky machine There are many more but just a FYI.

www.Prime1studios.com - They are making a 1/2 scale Michael Myers statue.
www.Sideshow.com - Can get Halloween stuff there all day.
www.TrickrTreatstudios.com - Can get Halloween stuff there
www.Monster-mania.com - Horror show convention running multiple shows a year
www.Collectpcs.com - Michael Myers statues
www.Monsterpalooza.com - Horror Convention
www.Texasfrightmareweekend.com - Horror Convention

9 central

Yeah it’s not like the original VHS sells for thousands of dollars or anything.

Perhaps this Diamond Iced Michael Myers Chain will tickle your fancy priced at $42,500.00: ebay item 123347618849

I guess it depends on how you define popular. R&M IP is a currently airing series owned by Adult Swim. Halloween is a 43 year old movie. There's no way anyone could list all the sites that sell R&M related items. But I get your point, Halloween has a faithful following (myself included).

Or original movie posters.... not just Halloween either. Any horror movie. If you go way back to to Universal Monsters days.. Anyone can just google Kirk Hamlett from Metallica and look at his Movie poster collection worth millions of dollars.

Nice shooter mod!

I'm looking forward to buying my 1st machine directly from Spooky. Have R&M and ACNC and enjoy everything about them. I understand some concerns over risk given limited gameplay views but Spooky has good history with me. Good luck all!

I'll stick with my knife handle.

It is funny you mention this, as I was at the mall last night and had to take a picture of this kiosk.

I need this!

EDIT: Found and ordered!

I'm sure this will be a great game but I'm just trying to speculate if it's going to be a great game for me.

Is Halloween high energy with enthusiastic call outs or is it more of a slower suspense shooter game?

Do those hedge scoops fire the balls back out really fast like TnA and R&M or is is a lot of stop and go.

Maybe the game just isn't ready to show game footage and that's OK for many people. Not really for me. It's not that I don't trust spooky. I do as they are a fantastic company with great people.

All I know is I refuse to pay a bottom feeder flipper or even worse the people who sell their spot in line who never intended to enjoy the game. 30min left.

Fair enough lol.. 1250 machines following yeah, I think they crush that. Guess we will know soon enough going to be really interesting.

Really wish I could have seen this game played. Best of luck to those buying on faith alone. I would 100 percent be in on a CE had I seen this game actually played, assuming it wasn't super clunky with the upper playfields.

I have no reason to believe this wont be an amazing game, but I also have little reason to believe it will be.

Truly hoping fans get this game rather than flippers.

I'm buying this because it looks like a fun pin but also to fund the future of Spooky so that Michael Myers isn't lonely when he will eventually have all of the other "Spooky" future character / pins surrounding him...

Jason
Freddy
Ash
Chucky
JAWS
Killer Klowns
Leatherface
IT
Jigsaw
Pinhead

Games are named Halloween and Ultraman Kaiju Rumble, right? So abbreviations would be H & UKR, maybe. If Halloween ends up being called H, I will be very happy.

That is today's reality. The hobby has grown larger than the supply in some ways. You can take a leap of faith and buy the pin NIB with less and less information as time has shown or buy it second hand when they come up down the line.
That is just the realty when buying a boutique pinball these days.

Spooky has proven themselves to be a reputable company and this kind of action is the new norm in pinball market now.

Millions of PS4's made compared to 1,250 Halloweens made...lol

Haha H2$

I’m buying this just to post photos on my Instagram for my followers.

Preordering a pinball machine is easily one of the most idiotic things a reasonably intelligent person would do.

Having said that, in less than 20 minutes, I will be happily giving this tiny pinball company $2000.

Millions of PS4's made compared to 1,250 Halloweens made...lol

Several hundred dollars vs Several thousand dollars

Im still on the fence to which one .I’ll let the impulse shopper in me have its day

Wonder if Spooky has their website cart hooked up to a bell every time there is a buy! And they are all sitting around the couch like election night lol... DING......... DING DING...... DING DING DING DING DING DING DING DING DING DING DING .......

After 6 months maybe...but you can buy from distributors for weeks after the Spooky store “sell out” The fomo here is a bit manufactured. You want to bite the bullet soon but I think the whol F5 F5 F5 thing is unnecessary

I hear you there, originally I was going thinking id go for a BSE but now Im all about saying to hell with it and go CE lol

Why not just UM?

H1? H78? Ween?

Technically, it is John Carpenter's Halloween. Some have suggested JCH and UKR. They make sense to me.

I know a grand is a lot but same boat. Still haven't decided to buy but if I do it's CE. This or mando driving me nuts. I'm average at best, so worried it will be less fun as it may be geared towards higher level players. Not sure never played a spooky pin!

You be crazy not too... I really only wanted a standard and then do my own mods..... however 2k difference between standard and CE.. that's a no brainer.. that's a good deal... life is won with good deals lol

They’ve not shown the full gameplay because the game is not ready to be shown. I’m sure there is still a ton of coding left to do, even Stern struggles with getting the programming up to par for gameplay videos on some titles. Keep in mind we are all here two weeks EARLY for presale. Gameplay video will be available when sales open to the general public...the Spooky store will be sold out but distibs will still have games on hand like they did with RaM

Id rather wait a bit and have a mid production game with all of the kinks hammered out, adjustments made and receive my game at a more developed code version personally. It’s almost a reason NOT to buy a CE. It is f’n gorgeous though. Patience is difficult but i think it pays off here. A lot of folks were pumped they didn’t have to slave over weird fixes on their RaM’s post build 150-200 or so.

This isn't Selleck's car dealership from the movie The Goods live hard, sell hard.. ... But if it was Charlie would say;
"I ring the bell mother-fucker!~"

This is part of the fun!!

I was thinking standard until I saw the prism powder on the BSE. That coupled with all the extras is worth the extra 1K to me. My previous most expensive pin was a NIB BM66. This will top that, now.

Oh man right there with you on all of that! I was almost ready to grab a Mando and this was announced lol. Also an incredibly below average to average player so rule depth or lack thereof isn't that much of a concern fo me lol

People who have interest in the theme but waiting it out until gameplay - bad move. Market is insane right now. Game is priced really well - it will sell out. Get in now and flip it if you decide you don’t want it. If you don’t, you might miss out completely and have to pay up to get it.

If you’re crazy enough to be following a pinball website to know a game is being pre ordered in 10 min and you like the theme but still don’t get it, big mistake.

Good luck everyone

how many ultramans are allocated to the US market?

I can’t chose between the 2 themes .This is nerve wracking lmao

1 with 499 to Japan.

I don't know why this is so important to you, but to my understanding there is nothing allocated to any market. anyone who wants to order can get online and order. They can be in Bangkok or Bangor Mane doesn't matter.

I dont think all of them are going to the US

They don't really do that allotment thing in house. Now, there are 2 distributors outside of the US, so I'd speculate 1/5 or so is pre allocated outside of US via distributors. With buying Spooky direct, they sell to whomever buys, wherever they are.

6 min RIDE OR DIE ! lol

I'm pretty sure when Rick and Morty was released we didn't have any gameplay video to go off of either.-just the launch trailer. If I remember right the first gameplay shown was during that awful Stupid Morning Bullshit show which was a terrible way to see the game played for the first time. It didn't matter to me as I knew I was in based on theme and the team behind it. -I'm pretty sure I'd blind buy any game that Scott Danesi and Eric Priepke are a part of. I'm sure if the game was ready and Spooky had licensing cleared we'd see some gameplay. What we've seen of the game so far looks great! If you're interested I think you just have to trust that Spooky will deliver a great game, which I know they will!
