The best interactive topper would be no topper at all!
- Sorry... do not like toppers. Prefer spending those $ into the game itself.
They got JP on board + have mentioned "beautiful graphics, SFX, ..." on the website. So expect a (big ass) LCD screen at least.
- I'm opting for a 3D screen
Using heat producing, dust attracting regular bulbs would be totally irrational over low power consuming full color RGB LED's which can produce super-duper "immersive gameplay" effects!
Let's not forget JJP has set the new standard with their WOZ... I can imagine DP's will definitely try to beat that by making "the most epic pin ever" !
- That would not allow for 20 year old DMD technology and old fashioned lamps.
Quoted from jazzmaster:EDIT: May have answered my own question. Looks like this guy will be responsible for the playfield and translight:
Looks like the artwork is a lock!
Love that style! ... Seems we don't have to worry about that also! 
@burningman... maybe our wishes come true! I just see on DP's website at the folks page:
Barry -> "... He is also a 3ds Max veteran and the author of several books in his field ..."
Freek -> "... specializing in character design and animation (3D and 2D) ..."
Keeping our fingers crossed !

Quoted from burningman:Exclusive Spy Photo revealed:
Here is a shot taken where it looks like Barry and Jaap are testing the effects of the White Russian toy on a WOZ Playfield. Nothing better than doing some field testing before production.
IN CASE the guys from DP are here fieldtesting as the picture shows... that rises some intriguing questions! First of all WHY testing on a WOZ? DP has several machines of their own to test on. So there seems to be need to test 'something' on a JJP machine, right?!
So, COULD it be (although BOP 2.0 comes with P-ROC) The Big Lebowski pinball will be based on JJP's fundamentals? JJP's cabinet (but regular size), cabinet components, computer architecture & probably LCD style display?!?
IOW why inventing the wheel twice if you could pick some high quality items from the market?
Jack has mentioned several times the is willing to help out other pinball ventures, so why not by selling the basics of the JPP platform? Win win situation for both DP and JJP!

- Keep Predator.
- Hold onto The Hobbit until Stern shows their next title. Only in case it's TWD and Stern raises their bar up to the new levels (seen at JJP / DP) , you could switch your THLE pos into TWD pos. But I highly doubt they do, btw.
- This decision makes you can enter TBL by now and secure yourself a stunning title...
Quoted from burningman:Went back and looked at the mystery pic that Spinner took.
In the picture it looks like there is a spot where a pop bumper comes through the playfield...I was messing around with the orientation of the picture trying to figure out where this would be located on or under the playfield. (still puzzles me)
Burningman... Took also a look at the mystery toy puzzle : )
What if the playfield grain is NOT longitudinal?
What if the mechanism is NOT under the playfield but on top?
Based on the pic you can identify clearly the pop-bumper holes + and rollover switch hole. If twisted and turned it's not possible (unless conscious manipulated) that the mechanism is under the playfield, but on top instead!
That makes more sense if thought of the center "?" could be a back and forth rocking item [wheelchair] which show a secret hole to shoot at.
The kickout (directly left of the center "?") makes In that case also way more sense.
The mechanism could easly be hidden underneath the upper playfield area.
The only odd thing is the switch 'inside' the secret hole. Anyone an idea?
- Anyway... just my 2 cents.
Additionally... in the render below you can indentify the TOP PLASTIC 'behind' the ? block is lower than the surrounding plastics. Therefore the rocking part could slide underneath the plastic on the backside....

Some nice guesswork has been done already, but I could not let Photoshop untouched...
- Kickback is definite.
- The pf cut out confirm the back an forth move of the center "?". Maybe it acts like a mode start, which you need to shoot to start a new chapter/level. After been trough all 6 of them the slide opens the secret entrance to the subway. [Btw... the under playfield assembly for that toy is also huge, just like the bowling assy!]
- The left kickback ("?") could act like on TCP's corner. But instead it VUK's the ball into the above ball wire instead of just pushing it out.
Quite interesting is what is shown for the Top Left area. The most front assy will be the upper playfield flipper assy.
in the center will be a single shot action. The left VUK is also interesting, because the cutout of the PF shows a cornered gap and the VUK itself looks like having a wide bracket.
My attention got caught by the subway which comes from the sliding toy and goes to the scoop hole. Altough I still think the under pf bowling assy will be a closed system (so no ball from outside can enter) we still have to figure out what the scoop is really for...

Totally shocked... How cool these 'toys' look !!
Thank you DP for having a brainwave resulting in the hiring of Geert Koops for custom artwork.

Somehow I cannot stop thinking about the discussion on the JJP Hobbit thread some days ago about those failed (at least 2 of the 4) figurines. The blame went to the license holder and it should be oke because they are rather small... Hmm, really?!?
After seeing the above pics I was wondering; "Besides the fact that those heads are bashtoys and the TBL car is probably not, what's the difference??" TBL is also a licensed theme + the car is also small BUT looks amazing... The amount of detail is almost unreal!
+1 for TBL
Just got back from the TBL launch party. All I can say this machine looks F*ckin' amazing! The artwork is a true beauty and fits the theme perfectly (thanx Freek & Jean Paul). The lightning is superb. I even heard someone say it has even one insert more than WOZ... But all in all it looks like loaded with modes. The attention to detail is a story on it's own...
I'm totally in my element 
even more because I'm one of the first who will see it arrive at my doorstep!!
Thanx DP for doing such a job.
Quoted from Pinstym:Sick!
Quoted from JoelOmatik:That would be the PERFECT quote when you hit the start button to insert coins!
Quoted from LITZ:Brilliant!
GUYS PLEASE STOP!!! You are making me nauseous.. This is so no PinSide-ish behaviour!!

Quoted from aeonblack:Ya'll gonna keep comparing dick sizes until this game gets released? Who cares? Buy what YOU want and enjoy it, and stop talking like there can only be one good pin.
Comparing dicksizes is pretty lame... And although I think it's stupid to say such about this thread, I do have to admit I indeed came across a very big dick recently on the internet... It was about 5 foot 10" and went by the name of aeonblack
Quoted from John_in_NC:I would pay more than 5K for TBL, hell I paid more than that for my AC/DC premium and it's not even close to what this game is shaping up to be. All I'll say is if TBL was $7K I would be all in and I'd bet they would have at least twice to 3 times the orders they do now. I wish DP the best and hope they sell a ton of these games. I mean thousands, that way I may be able to get one at a price I can justify in my mind one day. I was a NIB JJP buyer for WozECLE and TH (though I broke my own rule to not exceed a certain amount based on the theme and quality of WoZ) At JJPs current pricing, I have seen my last NIB from them. The line has been crossed for me on pin pricing. enough is enough.
Then there is some advice for you, sir... Just sell that AC/DC + another pin which your done with, and get yourself such a fine piece of Dutch enginuity!
Quoted from Perspex:If I decide to get this game, and it's looking that way...I'd certainly want the rug. So I need to decide by the 19th I guess. Smart incentive by DP (shakes fist at DP).
Later on, the most sought after item in the secondary market will be the rug itself
