Just watched the reveal vid. This is going to be phenomenal. I'll be at my computer Friday morning. Haha.

Does anyone know how wide this widebody is going to be? Trying to determine if I need to put in new doors. Haha.

Thanks! That makes sense. Didn't think about it in those terms. Haha. I can put the tools away!!!

America's Most Haunted is a great game and underappreciated. Always play it when we find it. It was that game that turned us on to Spooky! Just diferent enough back in 2014.

Ordered! Caught it just in time before it crashed again. At least we know that Spooky is being very attentive and working hard on their end. Thanks, Morgan and the whole team. Completely psyched about this game!!! Great Q and A last night. After today you can catch your breath a bit!

Thanks SpookyLuke for the last update. To all of you trying to order; just stick with it. Seems like they are steadily working on the site.

Good luck everyone. Worth the hassle; just keep hitting refresh or checkout if you aren't already doing so. That seemed to be the key even when the store was closed.

Yeah probably. But your Spooky team seem great at trying to stay on top of this. Thanks to Morgan, Luke, and all of you. Forever a fan.
Going to be a 2 spooky household and likely a 3 at some future point when we find an R&M at a good price. Just babbling here now out of pure excitement. I'll just leave quietly before I embarrass myself further. Haha.

Just out of curiosity anyone with a direct order earlier than the 13457 posted. I'm 13466 and wondering where that falls.</blockquot

Successful order at 10:51 MST; #13527.

Ditto! I was feeling the same way in this thread. Why would you bother coming to a "hype" thread for a pinball game only to trash the company or the game itself. Everyone has their opinions and their preferences, but, personally, I find it a waste of effort to simply get on a "hype" thread if you aren't planning to hype the game. Doubt that you are going to change anyone's mind. Comments after the game is "out in the wild" is fair game but this thread should be about anticipation. That being said, it's your time; post as you will. Still a fan and looking forward to this game. Feel fortunate that I have the ability (by making some sacrifices in other areas) to own a few pinball games. I think a lot of pinball owners are in similar situations and make similar sacrifices to be able to secure a game. They want to share in that excitement. That is why I am on this thread as are most folks. BUT post on; you're not going to steal my joy.

From my experience you will get an email just before they start the build on your specific machine relative to whether you want a butter cab. That will be based on your game spot number which you will get from Spooky or your distributor. If memory serves me right that is 2-3 weeks prior to your machine being completed.

Please add me as well. Also sent you a direct message

Stumblor has directed folks to a separate thread…

Just got my number; 179. Very happy with the number. #200 was the sweet spot for me. Haha.

Sounds like you had a wonderful life and a terrific wife. Sorry about your loss. Find some comfort in the joy I'm certain you both shared and the wonderful memories that will someday bring a smile instead of tears. Enjoy those fur children. Enjoy your games!!!

Great to see healthy respectful discourse. The fact that you both upvoted the other speaks volumes. Thanks!!!

That was meant for you as well, Beechwood!! Respect to both of you.

Feeling for you. It’s a horrible loss losing a fur child. Non-pet people don’t get it sometimes. They really ARE a part of the family. We always gave 3 dogs at any given time but lose a few along the journey. Always heart breaking. Like the guy said at the crematorium we use “Dogs (pets) just don’t live long enough “. BUT the time you have with them is so damned special. My heart goes out to you. Hold on to those memories!!!

Absolutely agree. In no way equating the two. Sorry if some felt that way. And apologize for taking this off track. Having said that. I love the whole idea of Scooby Doo and all that Spooky is doing to make this a great game. Personally, can’t help but love the play with nostalgia and finally a pinball game with a significant dog presence…none better than Scooby.

Haha…yeah, not what I’m saying. One great Scooby is enough (multiple Scooby graphics/toys welcome and applauded…)!

Does anyone know how to sign up to register for the live free giveaways for the awards? No football playoff today so going to give the awards show a try. Haha.

Thanks for the response. Appreciate it! Free stuff is always great! Especially spooky swag.

Thanks!

Wasn't able to catch the awards show last night. Caught a rebroadcast this morning. Spooky really stepped up with giveaways. Thank you Spooky for your support of the community. You're the best! I can't imagine that Scooby won't be a big presence at next year's awards show!

This is great information. So much cheaper than an escalara. Has anyone else used this?

Have never owned a butter cab but I can share that the decal art on Halloween (which I do own) and other Spookys I have played elsewhere is amazing and very well done. I'm certain it looks amazing but not certain if it is worth it at the end of the day for me personally. AS many have shared it is difficult/impossible to repair (although I imagine for hardy) and you, frankly, don't really pay much attention to the cabinet art once you have enjoyed it for a few days. Home guests/patrons will ooh and ahh the first few times but then its all about the game play. AND on Scooby I am looking forward to AMAZING game play. Spooky has this. Honestly you can't go wrong with either if you have the extra cash but going to save those dollars for some extra decor/reno in the game room. Haha.

Won't help you out, but for anyone reading your question in Ohio or adjacent states check out Crazy Martins in Piqua Ohio. It is actually a head shop but don't miss the pinball area. It has/will likely have 6/7 spooky games: ACNC, R&M, America's Most Haunted, TNA, and Rob Zombie (can't imagine they wont get Scooby). The pinball area is separate from the head shop. Very friendly staff. You can find them here in the Pin Map or on their own website. Be sure to scroll to the pinball area on the website. Have a total of 17 games.

Yeah, it's kind of a hidden treasure for Spooky fans! Haha.

Just got this print to put up between Scooby and Halloween. There's a few different prints similar to this out there, but this (for my individual tastes...haha) best captured the spirit of the cartoon:
Scooby and Michael (resized).png

Perfect. Haha. Now if I could just find a print of Deadpool and Michael or Deadpool and Scooby I'd have my line up. Haha.

Congrats! Not certain how this fits into the equation in terms of actual production and shipping, but is that a dealer invoice or direct from Spooky? Just curious.

Thanks.

Thanks, RoxasUrSoxas:

Can I ask if this is Southland Lanes? Just saw that you are in Middleburg. Stop there almost every trip to Cleveland (almost monthly)...Haha! If so we will probably get there to play it before our 179 gets delivered.

Southland Lanes is a great place; one of our favorite stops. Great place for pinball and inexpensive drinks. Haha. Highly recommend it. Great collection of games on site. We have talked with the owner of the place many times as he was filling my pitcher and pouring a Jack and Diet. HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS PLACE. Games always maintained. Thanks. Will be watching your facebook page to see when Scooby lands and will make that 2 hour drive.

Thanks. Finally figured that out by looking at the spreadsheet. Also makes sense that distributors might need to be invoiced a bit earlier. Be a pretty major frontend cash out if they didn't. Getting close though. Frankly, I find the anticipation a positive part of the experience whether it be delivery of your own game or the delivery at a location where you can get your hands on the game. I appreciate everyone's excitement...not a bad thing at all. If anything it normalizes the feeling we all share.

It will be a trip well spent. Low key bowling alley with a terrific separate pinball room. Very friendly staff.

Appreciate the effort going into this Monitorpop!
