Quoted from John-Floyd:

My down payment just cleared for Halloween CE. Got in very quickly when it went on sale so I'm thinking I may have it in a month or two. Exciting times

Quoted from John-Floyd:

I went Direct as It was a frantic frenzy that morning and I wanted to make sure I got one. Later I found out my local guy is a spooky Dealer. Oh well...next time.
I know they are doing 50 friends/family/licensee special orders first. I believe they are then doing 50 distros...then 50 direct. I should be in the first 50 direct if my math is right.

Quoted from John-Floyd:

Good stuff Hayfarmer - we will now have 3 games shared in our collections! I appreciate you helping me get started with Led Zeppelin when I first joined this fine forum earlier this year. 1 machine turned into 3 awfully quickly!

Quoted from Robodobro:

Game #1063 here

Quoted from FlipperFreak:

#139

Quoted from Mad_Dog_Coin_Op:

Nitro just hooked me up with #138. I should be part of the first shipment to regular folks.

Quoted from brerspidur:

so, here is a work in progress. . .
[quoted image]

Quoted from Hayfarmer:

Add #138 from nitro to yr list

Quoted from mpdpvdpin:

20-40 games per week

Quoted from Propsnsports:

If anyone is interested , I am letting my spot go. Couple other pins came up to purchase and I am going that direction. We are moving next summer and figured I can pick up a used one once we are settled in.
Message me if interested.
It # 360 direct from spooky.

Quoted from underlord:

341??? I'm 908. My number will be up by the time my numbers up!!

Quoted from Dan1733:

So cool. Thank you. Can you post a little more video?

Quoted from DeathHimself:

I did get to play Ultraman today while the whole time transposing the theme and music in my head to Halloween. While playing and afterwards I did get to pick Spooky Lukes brain and Spooky Bug, two great guys and glad I purchased A HWN CE from this group.
Game play:
I was pleasantly surprised how well the game shoots and play, although we were allowed only one ball I was on long enough to post my name so I did have a good ball time for a few minutes. The flippers were a bit soft but that was set purposely that way as I was informed by the spooky crew as not to over stress the machine with all the plays it was about to see, even though they still felt good.
Those ball lifts are amazing and in a show environment very quiet lol, the ball just showing up kept catching me off guard but I like it. All the mech's seem to work really well and flow was real nice, lots of good shots and some great ball speed.
The sound system sound really really good. I even dare to say it sounded better then Sterns sound systems.
The cab and build seem very solid, love the armor feel and coating, just an overall pleasant surprise.
I will be extremely happy when my CE comes around, but at game #335 I was told not to expect it for Halloween lol, who knows maybe years end but it will be well worth the wait for sure.
** Edited ** Shit I forgot about the RGB lighting and effects: Once again Spooky knock it out of the park, I think that covers it lol. The lighting dots in person really didn't affect your vision while playing and really don't look that bad or should I say pronounced as you see in photos.
BTW the playfield was stunning, the clear was beautiful. I know Jersey Jack was around behind when I asked but fuck it I did, I ask if there were any issues like JJP were experiencing. Luke told me directly they have not seen anything like that what so ever on and R&M, Alice Cooper and even this Ultraman was cc'd and dried only for about 4 hours before they built the game on it for the shows and it was holding up extremely well.
Overall guys, I say we are going to love it. It was fun to play.
** BTW: Anyone have a R&M BSE they would like to sell me lol ***

Quoted from Hayfarmer:

Did spooky tell you not to expect your game by Halloween, or are you thinking you won't?

Quoted from DeathHimself:

Unfortunately I was told " Probably not " when asked if I would see it by Halloween. Oh well but don't think it will to far long off from then anyway when they get to good rhythm going. Still going to be worth the wait.

Quoted from mpdpvdpin:

The led strips shouldn’t be a major concern for anyone...too bright? Mask them. Hate em all together? Just take em out. Really not a big deal.

Quoted from DeathHimself:

Jesus Christ Hayfarmer...

Quoted from CheapTrick33:

Anyone else catch the super cool knife mirror blade on the right hand side running up next to the shooter lane? Looked amazing hope it's in the game when they start shipping!!

Quoted from Red_Devils:

I'm sorry in advance but my vote is for HWN it just makes sense

Quoted from Pinash:

If someone wants to move up to CE #340, I'll certainly trade if the price is right

Quoted from P1nhead:

I wonder what would happen if I wanted to let #68 slide for a later spot?
Nah, I want this game now.

Quoted from Zablon:

Just wait a few months when you get bumped back to 1150!

Quoted from pinmister:

Same thing happened to me. I was told I had #420 and honesty it made me feel like it was meant to be-I would almost pay a premium to have that number. Then another pinsider posted he had the same number? I then was bumped up because of clerical error? Seems I am not alone, and while mistakes happen I do think it is unprofessional and it burst my bubble.

Quoted from Beechwood:

I tried the app. It doesn't cast from my phone. Only you tube so far. But I'll use the HDMI from my laptop.
#376 CE, I need to know if I should move up or down

Quoted from kciaccio:

Did anyone notice how many times they shot the ramp to get to upper playfield but ball didn't have enough velocity and kept coming back down?
Seemed like a lot. And that is with good players playing.
At least it does not fall sdtm.

Quoted from Kevlar:

Grating, piercing, repetitive and annoying are words that spring to mind.

Quoted from John-Floyd:

anyone else plan on painting or covering up the screw in the middle of the hand on the topper?

Quoted from MK6PIN:

Going to watch the stream again this weekend when I've got more time ( pretty awesome the first go around)
Think a huge hidden plus with this type of lighting horsepower...blackouts, lightning effects, and all sorts of scenes can be added to the vibe..
Deep pulsing red for murders, a blue/white power mix for pulses/ shock value, etc. This thing could easily bring serious terror to gameplay.
Whole package looks very strong to me!!

Quoted from icyjones:

Where would you get it?

Quoted from IdahoRealtor:

Waste of money. People mistake my clean glass for invisiglass.

Quoted from TheLaw:

It's VERY dependent on the your set up I think. In my basement there is very little diff'rence you can tell, side by side.
Perhaps in a more lit area with more sunlight/windows happening it would stick out more.
That's what I've always assumed listening to people say "sometimes I reach out becasue i think there's no glass."
I mean I want to believe, but these same folks probably need pinstadiums to see the ball so whom knows

Quoted from Frax:

Good to know. I'm gonna have to ask that guy what kit he's using then. They were *SUPER* nice looking. Very smooth.

Quoted from SpookyLuke:

Quoted from Ty-Arnold:

Yeah the code and the machines should be well dialed in. So long wait, but it should be ready out of the box with updated code. Even though I have a standard, I still think it's fair that the CE and BSE get their machines first. It's only fair if you are paying more money.

Quoted from Azmodeus:

I found out one of my friends is getting a Halloween. It’s his favorite movie, so I’m glad he is getting it.
The collections are moving around to accommodate. Just watch.

Quoted from John-Floyd:

Haha Just got mine in the mail too!

Quoted from parsonsaj:

Looks like troops on the ground at the SFGE who are doing setup are reporting that there is 1 Halloween and 1 Ultraman game on the floor. Can't wait to see both of them tomorrow afternoon!

Quoted from lpeters82:

I believe the goal is to hit each standup target, then the scoop, then the exit to the shooter lane as a bonus.

Quoted from BertoDRINK1:

Honestly I don't really know. Got pretty deep into the multiballs. at the end of the game it Told me I defeated Michael, so maybe there's more. It's way to loud now maybe tomorrow morning when game bringers get the extra hour I can focus on what I'm accomplishing.

Quoted from TouchingEvil:

One BIG con with this pin is no video clips from the movie, just crappy still animations wtf. It could be the cheapest animations ever in a pin.

Quoted from CheapTrick33:

Maybe I misread it but from what I remember it was your name on one of the gravestones on the playfield.... which seemed totally awesome yet hard to pull off with 900 + CE machines. Just was curious if it was true/rumor... either way it'd be great if they did...if not "like" the idea of a tombstone plastic with names on it as well.

Quoted from Txcoastal1:

I'm having one made with my mother-in-laws name

Quoted from RebelGuitars:

No, I have one of the early friends and family games. They said it would be ok if I mentioned it or showed it.

Quoted from RebelGuitars:

I posted several pics a couple pages back. Lots of closeups of the playfield.

Quoted from RebelGuitars:

Here’s a couple.

what is that black thing at the top of the playfield glass?

Quoted from dnapac:

Feels like a vinyl sticker. I plan to put an EL panel there and make it orange…like the R&M portal done by hooked on pinball.

Quoted from dnapac:

With so many upper playfields, I see your concern. But rest assured, the design is solid. A ton of fun to play, fast, and smooth. The mini playfields are fun to shoot…there is a ton of variety packed into those playfields. There’s some ass kicking, but not like R&M that can make casual players discouraged. Really, a great balance.

Quoted from dnapac:

Here ya go. This is Michael hedge multiball. Near the end she hits the trapped Judith Myers ball and has an extra one flying around. This was shot with some of the windows open, so there’s more glare. I didn’t get great shots of the playfield…because I wanted to show the topper. It’s VERY early in integration. Certain shots set it off. It’s lights aren’t implemented yet. Not sure why others have lights with their pics. New code will turn on the lights of the topper soon…along with the speaker lights.

Quoted from John-Floyd:

Just doing some planning here... Anyone know who spooky uses for freight, how much the shipping costs are at checkout, and how long it would approx take to arrive near chicago? I live about 2-1/2 hrs away and wondering if I should just rent a truck and pick it up myself…possible LTL shipping damage are of concern or should I not worry about that…

Quoted from SpookyLuke:

Hey guys just wanted to jump in and say we cleared 30 games to go out the door this week. Many of them already boxed. On a daily production schedual now so you will see games going out every week from here on out! Appreciate all the kind words and feedback. This has truly been a dream come true for all of us.

Quoted from Morinack:

More than once they've said 20 - 40 per week. Avg is 30/wk. Ratio is 2.5 HWN to every UM.

Quoted from SpookyLuke:

Looking to start 5 per day this week. We work four 10 hour days. At the beginning we always have some days where we miss the mark. As we go we will increase to 6 then 7 then 8 then 9 etc. It's never an exact science.

Quoted from dnapac:

We’ve been playing this more. Just an incredible game. We’ll try get more video and explanations tomorrow. The sound effects are really awesome. And even though some of the noises are a bit grating (heck, that’s a horror movie), they are vital in a multiball to know when a ball is coming up one of those risers to the flippers. You need a distinct sound to get your ears to hear the warning above the craziness of the multiball.

Quoted from djsolzs:

Just watching Kaneda review at jack bar of Halloween - software and movie integration sounds like the biggest disappointment so far. Animations not looking good.
I really hope this code is just WAYYYYY early

Quoted from pinmister:

When I have a new game on order and arriving soon, I always try and think of ways I can mod it. I have not thought of anything I really want to add to this game? It really is loaded, and when I saw it in person I thought-they even already have the perfect flipper topper stickers that tie in with playfield art-stunning. The Backalley sculpted props are perfect! The only thing I can think of adding as of now is a set of orange superbands and an under cabinet color changing red/orange/yellow special effect light?
This game is already a masterpiece and does not need much

Quoted from dnapac:

Kinda scared to do anymore video . It’s just me, my wife, and an iPhone…and very average players.

Quoted from Kkoss24:

Thanks for doing the stream .Also didn’t know about your place I’m 1 hr away might swing by tomro to play it

Quoted from John-Floyd:

Same here. Mine is still on the line and won’t ship until next week.

Quoted from John-Floyd:

I know…oh well! Good news is of a chance I may have my GNR LE delivered this weekend.

Quoted from Mad_Dog_Coin_Op:

They work great but are a pain in the ass to fold when you get them. You'll see what I'm talking about when they arrive.
