Quoted from lifefloat:

Also 51..........we should start a club....jk............I remember watching Ultraman regularly..........we were active kids but it would be like 105-114 degrees outside sometimes....at least it was a dry heat...anyway.....TV was a nice thing to have for those days..........even if it was just a shitty B&W TV with a tuner for UHF channels.

I’m 62, maybe I’m too old for your club!
I plan to commit to a CE UM with butter cab.

Quoted from CoachBacca:

... I am indifferent with the twin games approach, this would solve some peoples "re-theme Iron Maiden" dilemma for a great game but I don't want to see it every time out that's for sure.

Why not? I like the idea of two game releases at the same time. It certainly lowers their R&D cost and gets some more pins out on the street.

#425 2 years ago

How many are left?

#434 2 years ago
Quoted from frankmac:

Pinballstar might have one call them…

Let me know what you find out. They fired out so many emails I think the saturated market!

#436 2 years ago
Quoted from lpeters82:

Based on the last official report, somewhere between 0-30 Ultraman and 0-50 Halloween.

Where is the official report?

#441 2 years ago
Quoted from MT45:

In for an Ultraman CE at 10:02:08 EDST with Joe at Pinball Star!
[quoted image]

Congrats! In under the wire.

#445 2 years ago
Quoted from Happy81724:

Tempting…I’d be so far down the line now I can’t wait that long . I should of decided quicker but congrats on how quick everything is selling!

Pull the trigger and take the plunge. You ywon’t regret it.

I’m hoping a bunch of Ultramans go overseas to Japan. We need to get more pinball presence in Asia.

#477 2 years ago

Has anyone started a poll on how many bought both Halloween and Ultraman?

Just my informal observation is most people went for the CE.

#486 2 years ago

It would be nice if they publish STD/BSE/CE numbers.

The $1000 jump from STD to BSE is good bang for the buck. However, IMHO, the thousand dollar jump from BSE to CE is more of a money grab.

Quoted from ToucanF16:

…However, IMHO, the thousand dollar jump from BSE to CE is more of a money grab.

Quoted from Damonator:

I don’t know, I think there’s good value in the CE:
Topper - $500
Shooter - $150
Laser cut side rails - $250
Powdercoat speaker panel - $100
Custom toy - $50
See - $1050 of value for only $1000!

Ok, good call!

#569 2 years ago
Quoted from Palepoli:

What's the chance of getting a height measurement on a CE with the topper? A little nervous it won't fit in the planned location.

Did you order a CE? If so and it doesn’t fit just sell the topper. You’ll make a killing on the topper!

#663 2 years ago
Quoted from Morinack:

For R&M the toppers shipped already installed.
I suspect they will be shipped the same unless you special request when build time comes.
Spooky is really good about build to order changes. They even worked with having PFs Kuzman clear coated prior to build in some cases.

I think Spooky is trying to get away from À la cart manufacturing; that’s why they went to the STD/BSE/CE model. Removing and separately packing the topper would be at PITA for Spooky; taking away from time and resources for cranking out other games for the rest of us pinheads.

#717 2 years ago

I have better cabs on my three (soon to be four) Spooky machines. They’re a sight to behold. But if your games or jammed together it’s probably a waste of $1K to not be able to see and enjoy the phenomenal finish.

#937 2 years ago
Quoted from monkfe:

...and we haven't even debated knockers yet....

That post got my attention!

Quoted from RobT:

There is no debate about knockers.
Everyone loves them.[quoted image]

And the subsequent post seriously caught my attention!

Quoted from Morinack:

I hate posts like this because my neck gets stiff from craning to the side.

You must be on a desktop. I just twist my iPad!

#1035 2 years ago

Do distributors still have some left? I thought they were all gone.
I didn’t know BSE was a FANG members only edition.

#1121 2 years ago

UM CE 121 from KingPin Games.

#1195 2 years ago

I’m rather entertained by this whole thread and the fact so many people, grown adults, get so wrapped up in their numbers, production rates, raffle tickets and when they’re going to get their pin. Spooky always delivers. We’ll soon be singing the praises when we have our new pin!

#1197 2 years ago
Quoted from PinballSTAR:

The game will be broken down around 5pm Saturday so these boys can get back on the road for their 14 hour drive back to Wisconsin - so get there early !

They’ve got to get back early to start making our pins!

#1205 2 years ago
Quoted from Morgoth00:

What is it that you do for fun?

I’m away from my pinball machines working in Asia. When I’m not physically at work i’m restricted to a hotel room. The Covid rules over here are crazy. I live off of room service. I exercise and spend 90% of my free time on Pinside.

#1328 2 years ago
Quoted from RikeIsland:

Someone posted this pic on another thread and I found a print of it on Etsy if anyone wants one. I had to pick one up.
[quoted image]

Thanks for the pointer. I just picked one up.

#1494 2 years ago
Quoted from TigerLaw:

I think Ultraman is going to be pretty darn collectable. You can never really tell at this stage though.
I’m still debating going regular or butter.

I’d really like to get my inner loop a bit more dialed in. It’s almost impossible to hit if the ball comes in right along the rail in what should be a normal feed shot. The inner loop is the one shot I wish was easier to aim for and hit regularly.

Go with butter. Much better than margarine. You won’t be disappointed

#1498 2 years ago
Quoted from dri:

All Spooky games to date require fans if you want to play the game for longer than 15 minutes.

That doesn’t seem to be true with the UM at Allentown this weekend.

#1513 2 years ago
Quoted from RikeIsland:

Getting some of my Ultraman memorabilia ready to put next to my BSE. Don’t laugh at the lunch box.
[quoted image]

I got the same lunch box!
