Goddammit...this is unreal. I thought Scooby was a stupid theme. After reading all these posts I'm remembering all the episodes I watched as a kid... Harlem globetrotters, Don Fucking Knots ..

I am just now realizing how much I enjoyed it as a kid. I literally forgot. I feel like I am born again moved by the spirit of Scooby and the gang. Holy shit, my wife's gonna kill me.

Just a facebook live Q+A session tomorrow! We will be scheduling a live stream of game about the same timeline as we usually do! Dates all have to be approved.

#1003 1 year ago
Quoted from lpeters82:

Personally, I'd love to have the Harlem Globetrotters, Kiss, Batman, and Don Knotts in the game. I would say the odds of that getting licensure approval is not great. As to references to other pinball machines, there will certainly be several Easter Eggs.

Not great? Try near impossible. Gene Simmons price tag alone would probably add $500 to each machine or more. Again this is based on the 1969 series. So will never happen.

Looks like no game play stream prior to sales. Regardless of the perceived FOMO in this thread, there will always be slots available weeks if not months down the line. Even if the pin sells out at some point, people always change their mind and need out of their slot.

#1007 1 year ago

Just looked at this thread 16 hours ago and there are 500 new posts. Is the teaser that good?

Spoiler alert: it’s so damn good!! Let’s do it spooky! Game is on reserve with Joe already. I ain’t sweating.
Cheddar coming!!!

I was 75% in on purchasing this pin when I was thinking we would see gameplay on Thursday. Not a fan of having no live gameplay before asking to submit a nonrefundable deposit. I jumped at Halloween with no gameplay due to the theme. Not sure if I will do it this time around, sadly.

There's a reason no manufacturer is going to give a full gameplay stream before sales open, if you've owned enough games you know pinball is unpredictable even for brand new games. Best advice is to wait if you don't have faith like some of us sheep

same here! i just canceled my bond prem and am moving over to this instead. i will be patient and live with whatever code it comes with.

#1012 1 year ago

I'm very interested being an operator. A family friendly game finally. If it shoot good and the video assets are good this will probably be our first step in boycotting the Stern army machine that can't supply parts to us.
Won't buy until I see though. I hope there are some Iconic sounds from the show. Minner 49er moan, space ape from the cape etc .. I was a Scooby Doo fanatic. all I would watch. The right toys and objects seem to be present.

I believe we have done what we need to do to present a fun game at launch! With that said you buy when you feel comfortable. We have no intentions to fool anyone I think this will be our best game yet period!

Everything was going so well up until this. No gameplay video is a really major roadblock not just for me but I expect for quite a few others. Can you clarify when "the same timeline as we usually do" actually is? Are we talking about a week, two weeks, or what?

Why is that sad? Seems like prudent decision making since you're missing a big part of the information you need to make a good decision.

Stern streams incomplete games pre-launch all the time. This is not an unusual request. No one's asking for a "full gameplay" stream, just some gameplay to see where it's at and where it looks like it's going.

And even giving people in-depth looks at incomplete software, Stern still sells a lot of pins.

#1019 1 year ago

I can't think of any other manufacturer of an expensive product that requires a 20% non-refundable deposit without showing the product in action, let alone the option for the potential customs to actually try it! Given the prior history with this scenario some will hold off. And others will jump on board regardless. In the end, it's our choice.

#1020 1 year ago

It does suck we don't get gameplay. But Stern, JJP, etc. never full gameplay before LE purchases, first of the line pros/premiums...they do release videos and good images of playfield. Images we don't have but suspect live FB tomorrow will have this. Not only Spooky unfortanetly in delayed gameplay.

That’s because the Stern LEs are sold out and promised to the pinball elite until doomsday

#1022 1 year ago
Quoted from PinMonk:

Nope, stream comes after the sales open up. You get the same 1-2 minute reveal trailer that Spooky puts out with them.

True, but Stern does not require $2k non-refundable deposit.

#1024 1 year ago

Other than butter cab, are there any other spooky extras that they typically offer as an up sell?

And I haven’t seen a butter cab in person just regular cabs and those look great. Is the butter cab really worth the extra $1k if they offer it?

#1025 1 year ago
Quoted from arzoo:

Are you sure on this?

GZLE - if you wanted one day 1, with no gameplay stream, pretty sure a non-refundable deposit needed.

Others will confirm no doubt.

Its $1400 for this pin not 1000. Probably bc larger and more expensive now. I'm getting it on mine because of the art. Not worth it on TNA. Looks amazing on halloween.

#1027 1 year ago
Quoted from GoldenBeard:And I haven’t seen a butter cab in person just regular cabs and those look great. Is the butter cab really worth the extra $1k if they offer it?

If you have the cash to burn, yes. They look insanely good. Like furniture.

#1028 1 year ago
Quoted from arzoo:

That's why it's best to wait if not sure although many distributors have changed their deposit policy on games, not a sure thing depending on what distributor you're dealing with.

JJP launched TS4 with gameplay

(I feel like maybe some other JJP and AP games had gameplay at or very near launch. I feel like JJP unveiled one game live on Stream at a convention)

Also people should demand gameplay videos of all manufacturers. It’s not a huge ask. It’s in the best interest of the consumer.

#1030 1 year ago

Everyone calm down on the deposit. You will still be able to buy a SD if you don't buy day one. I guarantee it

Wait for the stream before you pull the trigger if it's a problem for you.

#1031 1 year ago

Basically ,all the manufactures know that 85% of they’re customers have OCD. If it was my decision to make ,I wouldn’t show shit neither

#1033 1 year ago

Very disappointing decision to not stream gameplay before requiring non refundable deposits for a limited quantity product. Very anti-consumer and a terrible practice…got burned once on Halloween, not going to do it a second time.

#1034 1 year ago
Quoted from TreyBo69:

JJP launched TS4 with gameplay

Nope, came after sales opened up. You got the overly exited carnival guy video that lasted 1-2 minutes.

#1035 1 year ago

Absolutely beautiful looking machine! Halloween was amazing (don't care what anyone thinks - it's brilliant), and if this is anywhere near as good as that I'll be super happy. I'm totally in - so there will be at least one of these on it's way to Australia. Now I just gotta make some room...

Is the butter cabinet is $1,400 or $1,000?

4,000 fricken call outs in the game. I'm guessing they have it covered!

#1040 1 year ago

So can anyone recommend a distributor to call for one of these ?

What size figures usually work on a pinball? 5 inch? I could get the knight and robot from ebay to add to the standard edition.

You get the gameplay in the trailer, which is fine, plus you get a long live stream very shortly thereafter.

Stern isn't asking for a large, non-refundable deposit.

Stern isn't making 1900 LEs. The vast majority of these flex assembles will be CEs, so of the 1969, there will be a LOT of CEs. Spooky is asking customers to jump in blindly again when a lot of the issues that led to the Halloween/Ultraman debacle are present again and the "murder" of programmers Spooky has still hasn't delivered a great (or even good, according to some) H/U experience. Could the outcome be different this time? Maybe. But no one knows, and the inexperienced design/code team, lack of gameplay (in an edited trailer or live), and cagey avoidance of confirming what board set this is using are three pretty big red flags.

I don't care what dummies post on a forum (lol, self-reflection)

I have the YouTube links to JJP and their press release to TWIP. All same date. Enough said

Here is JJP revealing Wonka live on stream at MGC (1 day after the press announcement)

Have you considered that maybe the bottom side and board set as well as other advancements down there could be a huge positive not a negative surprise?
