Nope.

Did JJP even ship 1750 Pirates?

I know they shipped 0 Pirates that I wanted, because they were stupid enough to show off an awesome feature that they couldn't get to be reliable and then took out the biggest novelty of the game...

Now you have me curious. What was that? I played one on Friday..... I think I need it in my collection.

The general consensus is they made 1000 POTC. 200 CE, 600 LE and 200 SE was the breakdown, if I recall correctly.

Where did you hear we are not getting any game play video?

My god man...could have read any of the 109 recent posts about this first haha.

Maybe I don't want to waste my time reading 109 posts.

Spooky stated last week that the gameplay reveal would be coming “soon”. I’m guessing within the next week or two. Will be interesting to see it in action.

Spooky was on K-Man’s podcast today. Gameplay video ‘hopefully’ by the end of the month. Jack Danger likely to stream after that.

The issue is with the license holder which has approval over everything. They’re likely using this time to build code as well. I don’t blame them for delaying gameplay video if the code isn’t ready.

They just had the games at a horror convention all weekend. Guessing no licensing issues there.

Sometimes if you need information you must read. Simple facts no one can deny.

If your not Spooky or someone who knows something to add, then mind your own business. I was told game play video soon, that's why I thought it was coming soon.

There is no set date that I have heard.

From what I can see from walkthroughs there is only an Alice Cooper and a table of merch. I’m too obsessed with this damn game

No Halloween there

Well, boo. They touted that recently. Guess that got a no go from someone.

I Think this will be a nice touch displayed next to the machine. Serves as a nice placeholder for now.

Why take it?

They have none left to sell.

Funny - I got a message the other day from a guy organising some pinball machines for a pop culture event. He said I should advertise Spooky Pinball there. I said “why? I haven’t got anything to sell!” Lol

Cranky...yes, gameplay video. Soon.

Also....

*you’re as in ( you are )

Triple spinning rings in the middle of the playfield that were supposed to align with mystery rewards as well as be a difficulty factor. They could move in independent directions. When I played it at TPF, I had the ball literally zig-zag straight down the middle becuase the outer two rings were spinning one direction and the inner one the other direction. It was bonkers, and the most surprised I'd been by a game since Tron's disc. But, they pulled it because they couldn't make it reliable, and put the single disc in there instead. Boring. Now it's just a multiball smash-fesh like Hobbit.

For everyone that is in on a Halloween, I came across this ornament/figure on Blackkingskull.com .. you can send in a picture and put your head in Michael's hand, I thought it may make a cool edition to your game when ya get it and pretty reasonably priced.. what do you all think?

Or even better - send in a picture of your ex-wife or your mother-in-law . . . or a pic of Jpop.

While it is definitely cool and I could see it as a nice keychain from the coin door, I am pretty sure you will be receiving a flat, 2D image similar to a pinball plastic. It says ornament, but I do not believe that is going to be a 3D figure. I guess once someone orders they can confirm, but for $19, you are not going to get a 3D figure with a custom head. It is going to be a flat printed cutout with a photo in place of the stock head. That is my guess.

Again, still cool, but if you had plans to use that on the playfield somewhere, you may be disappointed unless you are good with a flat figure.

I'm not sure, I'm going to order one to find out, worse comes to worse it can sit on a shelf

Still cool either way. I went to the site and the ornaments are photoshopped pictures in the "rear view mirror" displays. But if you go to their Keychain areas, the items are photographed while being held in a hand. Every one of those are printed on flat plastic (just like pinball plastics). So pretty sure that is their product. Not that there is anything wrong with that, but just use that to help judge where you may use it.

I am thinking of getting the Michael keychain that has half of his face with the knife and the other half says "trick or treat". I think that will make a good coin door hanger. Curious to see look and scale of what you end up ordering though! Also curious to see how they implement the personal face!

Close. It was 200 CE, 650 LE and 150 SE.

I really don't think this game will be the next Pirates, but anything could happen. I do love Spooky's enthusiasm and that they brave the trenches and interact directly with pinside. And of course, I love their passion for all things horror. I could probably talk to them about movies for hours, but I'm sure they have better things to do! I like that this is a whole new design team, because I think that a lot of the best games in recent years have been from new designers. I just know I have to have one, and while I'd like to see more, it's as good as mine regardless.

Yeah just finding what it actually is and seeing it in person is worth the $20 , I have spent that on allot less

I think we should just calm down andet these guys do what they do. This stuff takes time to get right. Just relax if you have your machine ordered and curse yourself if you didn't get one. Or better yet just stab yourself.

I don’t need a play video and won’t watch one. I prefer to open it up and experience it directly. Pinball translates terribly to video, always has.

Remember when manufacturers didn’t do any of the preview flicks? Crappy B/W promo vids was it.

Pf design looks killer! Pun fucking intended.

Horror theme? Yes please and thank you.

Some of those b/w promo vids are great. They give you pretty much the whole rules of the game in 8 minutes or less.

Does anyone have the VPX table? I'm getting it in a few weeks and was wondering what you think? I like the call outs. "Hey jerk, speed kills." I hope spooky does the samr with the sound clips.

I bought my Hurricane based solely on the promo video. I was not disappointed.

And BAM!!.....spot on!! Can't wait for him to come to my home!!

I thought Bug/Squirrel was going to tell use what our place in line was? My Invoice was 11801, would be nice to know soon so we can prepare to buy/sell other games. Game will be Excellent!!! 7 Billion people on this planet- only 1250 Halloween pinball machines!!!

They will as soon as they can. 1,750 sold in 2 hours makes for a mountain of work. Order changes, payment issues, and tons of emails are probably in play. I’m anxious as well, but as they say - good things come to those who wait. Hopefully in the next week or so. Just glad I locked one down.

Distributors have to get their order #’s to Spooky first so they can sort out the 50 spooky 50 distrib alternating order numbers. Takes time...and...all of the games are not sold atm so that’s prob another reason we don’t have order #’s yet

Same here. Not super super picky on pins and this is a horror fans dream. Carpenter is my favorite director too. Never thought I'd drop 9k on a pin without hesitation. If it's a turd I'll own a pretty one lol

Agh - me too! I know they are super busy and I'm just being impatient, but I'm dying to know where my place is on the order list, and when I need to decide on what has to go to make room! Ah I guess it will happen when it happens...

Don’t panic if you ordered a CE it will be made with all other CE’s(only) coming to Aust. Once build schedule is done we will have a better idea when they are planning to do ours. Our numbers will be mixed up so some will be made early and some late. From shipping to clearance takes over 6 weeks! Don’t expect them anytime soon.

Your number will be available well in advance of this. As per above other than knowing your game number it will not help you work out delivery date. FYI I have my UKR # but not Halloween, so they are coming soon just got to hang in there a bit longer...this is the fun part, trust me!

Why does GAP have a listing for Halloween that indicates they are a Spooky distributor when Spooky's own information indicates they are not?

Maybe Spooky didn’t update their site possibly??

From what i hear still some distributors with games available.

Anyone know when the first batch will ship?

If i see game play video soon i might try to snag a CE for route if it’s still available from distributors. If game play video is this week it may work out if later I’m sure they will be long gone.

At this point nobody knows anything, I’m sure in the next couple weeks we will get gameplay video and game numbers and then I’m sure it will probably be at least one to two months (if not more) before games start shipping.

No worries. Was just curious.

It seems more like they all do, from the posts that keep going up. I am wondering if any of the distros have actually sold out of their allotment at this point.

Pump and dump?

SOLD!

Shocker, after seeing how he treats people on here and hearing how he spoke on menys pinball show I’m not surprised.

Yup...and not to mention it’s just an average spot # that someone would be paying all that extra money for...what a joke.

The later numbers will be better machines with all the kinks ironed out and will arrive with more developed code. Games after the 300 mark are more desirable imo. I think a lot of RaM owners may agree. Patience pays off here. Also, these spots will be flipped. We know this... It’s just the nature of the market, capitalism and supply and demand.
