Spooky Pinball 3rd Game - Alice Cooper&#039;s Nightmare Castle

Quoted from Whysnow:
some people are just slow on these things. Sucks for Spooky as I am sure they would want to get everyone numbers by now.
That said, I kind of hope they just wait and not tell any numbers sold till after MGC. I have to think that with the size of MGC and reality of having much more code to play, that they are gonna sell heaps more there (maybe sell out?) There have been numerous hints that they sold over 300 on D1 (best day of sales ever means more than RZ sales) and guessing more in the past week with people that were waiting on Stern announcement and decided IMDN was not for them.
Really no reason for them to announce anything till all the numbers/payments are squared away on their end. Also would be really cool for them to be able to just announce "sold out" and start a waiting list for others. Would be really happy for them.

Hmm. What would a purchases at MGC have to do with the Day 1 buyers? Is it safe to say that Day 1 Purchases would have lower #s anyway...Confused..

Knowing how many are left definitely affects someone's decision to buy now or wait a while and see how it goes. There's zero benefit to Spooky announcing how many are sold and sending out the numbers yet. It's not like the games are about to start rolling off the line so it doesn't matter much anyway. If you ordered early on day one and are a previous customer you are likely to be pretty early on.

future orders dont impact YOUR game number.

Future sales change the total number sold. If Spooky tells everyone there # then they will be on pinside in minutes saying who got what number and by default everybody knows how many sold. There are hints that they sold a bunch and no real reason to make it public yet how many sold. Seems logical at this point to just wait till after MGC before announcing total # sold.

Understood and thanks. Hopefully not the case as some buyers might what to purchases other pins in the mean time to fill in the time. lets just say your pin will not ship until October then some buyers might want to fill that gap with a pin to flip. I don't see a issue with a # release it is what it is. Oh well no need to speculate on this as time will tell..

Hard to be upset with success for Spooky, but I'm hoping my wife gets a chance to play the game at MGC before it sells out.

Unless I'm getting game number one or game number 500, I couldn't care less what number I'm getting. Please enjoy a moment with my friend, Count 1-2-3.

I agree with this. I ordered mine at 8AM the first day orders opened. I don't know if my game will be here in June-July-August timeframe and may need to add a cheap game to flip until that date. Hence it would help knowing sooner...

Bought the Spooky doc last night and if you haven't watched it, you really should it's excellent! I'm hoping for a number soon as this will be my first pin and if I'm a year and a half out I'm going to go ahead and buy a cheaper SS game in the meantime. Either way, I know I'm getting my game and not stressing it.

Does this still hold true since ACNC has a button launcher and not a springed plunger?

I really hope it's going to be a manual plunger, but every picture of the game I've seen has had that ugly yellow "Launch Ball" button. It was almost a deal breaker for me as I feel like pins should all be plunged manually. If it was an add on option I'd pay extra for a manual plunger instead I'd definitely go for it.

Depends where the ball goes when it’s launched.

If it’s something like Dr Who, it may as well be a coil fire.

MGC is spooky’s Home show. Charlie has said a couple times he is waiting until during or after MGC to release numbers. Maybe he’s paying homage to the show and using it as part of a special announcement. I would suggest just wait for another week and we will all know soon.

Quick question to all former spooky purchasers. Were you notified first before open ordering began for Alice Cooper nc? I thought prior owners got first shot like rob zombie ordering. Wasn’t sure if this process had changed.

As a prior purchaser, I did get prior notice before ACNC officially went on sale . . . but I believe everyone on the interest list got that notice. I understand the prioritization for prior Spooky customers comes when KT sorts out the orders.

truly.
is almost like if you were the solely life support here. kind of cringy, good effort thought!
I'm hopeful more of this title will be revealed at/after the MGC! rrrreally wanting to see some cool gameplay.

btw... I don't think the number of units sold on that rushed day should be an important metric, I mean I really wish them sold them all quickly and good so more awesome pins keep coming, but who cares about the numbers! what matters is that you like the game.
