Quoted from RandyW:

I am excited for the theme, but apprehensive about the maker. Their track record isn't the greatest, for making fun tables.
They have a couple good ones and a bunch of flops.
So either it is awesome and I end up paying a small fortune for one, or it sucks and I scoop one up at a discount. But I am going to have to own one.

Quoted from TechnicalSteam:

They sure need vindication in my opinion. Couldn't get crap for Ultraman after waiting a year for the code to get fixed. Still burning trash pile IMO . Just wait you can put down 2000 bucks for your very own non refundable POS. The people at spooky are fine. No slight at them. You can't always hit a home run, or even a single. Both games are just crap which we would have known had we a basic game play video before the sale. FOMO marketing. Some of us been in hobby for along time. So perhaps they will vindicate themselves. Not every game can be great.. They do make great art though.

Quoted from pinmister:

Tell Charlie to not make it mandatory for SD and games going forward-you may be surprised on how many people it has turned off. Is it worth it-I don't think so
BTW-thanks for your kind replies-you sound like a stand up guy

Quoted from mpdpvdpin:

As a man of principle this must be very difficult for you…I bet you cut the seatbelts out of your car and drive right through every single red light you see haha. Mandatory stop at a right light?!?! Not for me for I am a man of principle and no one is gonna tell me s##It

Quoted from pinmister:

I want my free stickers in my Mr T. cereal box but those childhood days are in the past for me.

Quoted from Coindork:

I agree with you 100%.
I’m totally happy with mine and my wife friggin loves it. It’s a very unconventional game that I rather enjoy playing. Alice Cooper got a lot of the same sort of feedback for the longest time. Personally I think that’s one of the best pins I’ve owned.

Quoted from RandomGuyOffCL:

Halloween is broken.
You can hit that center ramp 5 times a row…and then get rejections 5 times a row…that’s why there’s an opto half way up it so at least it makes a sound on all the fails. And when you do make it, it just rattles through the diverter
Left ramp is better but still rattles through mostly
Sanitarium ends up largely ignored, watch how much gameplay out there where people let it drain through without a flip
Judith is satisfying but with poor geometry to reliably hit it.
Orbit is pretty clean
House playfield is decently fun and challenging, but it requires you to do business with that broken center ramp
After a few hundred plays Halloween is pretty much reduced to only going for hedge multiball which has 3 satisfying locks and an awesome MB experience with the theme song going.
The rest of it should’ve been redesigned

Quoted from dnapac:

1750 (HW and UM) in 4 hours.

Quoted from Zablon:

I think it goes beyond flipping. Keep in mind that with the higher prices came a mindset for many that they could buy a game, play it for a month or two, then sell it recouping the cost or more and move on to the next game. With HWN/ULT that really didn't happen because the code is so far from finished. Additionally, well, I get the impression that game is an aquired taste and not for everyone.

Quoted from beltking:

Someone asked if they have a new better lcd screen… anyone know? Not washed out blacks.

Quoted from Vecna:

Wow. Scooby pin makes Halloween look a decade old.

Quoted from kool1:

100%

Quoted from mpdpvdpin:

So, I’m looking closely at shots and I’m thinking that the Black Knight shot on the upper looks nearly impossible to hit. It seems to be too far off the tip of the bookcase flipper and appears too tight to backhand from the R flipper. Am I nuts? Also…i bought a CE and there is little that could happen with this game to cause me to regret it haha. I’m just being critical, cause that’s what I’m good at.

Quoted from PanzerKraken:

I like the taking out of context things and blowing it out of proportions. Yea the new code has a couple bugs. But "filled with bugs" is pretty huge exaggeration. They fixed and added a bunch of things, theres a couple little issues which are all visual presentation issues and they are already working on it.
Love the overreaction, saw another of this on Facebook where folks were saying how the new code is a "disaster". lol no it's not

Quoted from blastbeat:

Halloween has its faults I love it. Two times I needed support and replacement parts (minor stuff) they were sent out literally next day. Can't agree more their support has been really solid for me. Plus....their themes are my jam on these last two releases. I just paid for a DP premium the week before Scooby was announced and was like ugh...(opens wallet anyway). It’s just so damn pretty. Plus I like different and they do different. Nice mix in my B/W and Stern games.

Quoted from iceman44:

Not facts pal. And you don’t run Twitter either. Lol
I have a game coming. At least wait until they start landing to pump the shit out of it.
Let me know when they sell out so I can feel like a winner.

Quoted from Billygrippo:

I think I’m out for a minute. Just ordered TBL and IMDN premium. Too many gdamn good games out there these days!

Quoted from turbo2nr:Deleted post

Quoted from PappaDubz:

Can’t remember why but they deleted most of page 80

Quoted from rai:

That’s hard to get excited about, no sound or callouts, plus not one drain out the side lanes. I’m sure it’s possible to drain out the out-lanes but I haven’t seen it yet.

Quoted from Damonator:

Let me be honest for a moment. You are in a thread with 1000+ owners bragging about playing the market and timing your buy so you get the best deal possible. You are giddy with excitement that you are going to make out better than all of us idiots who paid msrp.
I don’t fault you for what you are trying to do, but maybe ~ just maybe ~ you should be a little more stealth about it?
I couldn’t give two squirts about what the value of Scooby is tomorrow, 6 months or a year from now. I’m excited about the game and look forward to owning it for a long time.

Quoted from transprtr4u:

There is that "one guy" again

Quoted from Mro-Tek:

Complete joker. If you had a Halloween with super weak cod and not even able to get through a full game, I am sure you would be all daisies. it was a dream theme for me that turned into a nightmare. I was a huge supporter until I was not. I wish you the best luck truly. People can say they are happy with their Halloween/ultraman but the majority and value on pinside will point the opposite direction. Like I said, Scooby looks absolutely amazing.

Quoted from Mro-Tek:

yes, I think people are enthused when they are in house mode and just need to just watch the ball drain down the sanitarium playfield to to progress. they dig that that modes have no clear objective or direction. people like that that the video's are pixilated . I could say I am only speaking for myself but the tanked values might give say otherwise. I am not a seller, I would just like to see a decent finished code. Rob zombie owners might agree. and from what i have read, rick and morty owners were promised more as well.

Quoted from mpdpvdpin:

My Halloween was a TANK on location, I only ever had to adjust the drops once and I opted to switch to metal gear servos. It earned like CRAZY. Scooby will go to my location right away. It will ANNIHILATE wallets, blow minds AND bring new people into the hobby. This was a complete no brainer for me.

Quoted from jameshalko:

Wow! I was not expecting my Scooby to arrive so soon!
[quoted image]

Quoted from Var1AbL3:

Can't believe no one's pointed this out yet, but Spooky appears to be giving us a big clue on a future title at around 13:20 of the game play reveal. LukeP specifically says "those may be some Easter eggs to some other pinball machines as well. "
Could it be a carnival themed game next? Either way once these start arriving we'll be able to find some clues.

Quoted from mpdpvdpin:

ACNC had the Scooby Easter egg

Quoted from Kkoss24:

I was back reading this thread and came across the Halloween easter egg part .Well played Spooky , well played indeed

Quoted from jeffspinballpalace:

I vote Maiden. After GZ, I like Maiden 2nd most of Elwin’s pins. It is a real barn burner. A good game makes you feel like a king. Reason being, after collecting modes or awards you can keep going and earn shards. How many shards can you collect towards total. Maiden has many outstanding modes. It is ranked in top 10 and deserves it’s accolades. Code is complete. For these reasons I suggest going Maiden for now. Keep that game a year and if you still want Scooby Doo, sell Maiden and buy one then. It will be finished and you can play it first. While some people might say get the new and shiny, I say go newish & shiniest and get than nib Maiden.

Quoted from lpeters82:

Stickers, decals, art blades, etc. all go on after the games are playtested.

Quoted from finnflash:

What's a douche canoe?

Quoted from stumblor:

You can find out who that douche canoe is by checking the version history, so actually in this case it's a dim douche canoe
