Quoted from Deaconblooze:

Isn't that a flipper between 4 and 9?
Edit: maybe not - doesn't seem to have the same rubber outline as the others, and not sure there's much to shoot for besides that right ramp.

I'm hoping I'm wrong about the face, I'm hoping for a Corvette smash in the lower window like street fighter

There's a huge, huge problem with this game.........
Can't do a Hitler video because it looks so damn good

Quoted from Evelknievel:

Here's my impression of TBL as promissed.
For the record: the music isn't one of the 20 licensed songs, but a rightsfree one, so youtube won't block it

Quoted from mof:

It's apparently not possible for some people to discuss the layout.
If you can't take an objective look at the playfield layout -- why, just keep that monkey poo coming !!!

Quoted from mof:

Now that we have two fun new gush threads for the "Reveal" and a cool thread for the "Art" -- perhaps this can be a playfield LAYOUT discussion thread after all?
ha! (impossible!)
The layout for TBL is MM.
It's an 8-shot fan parabola with an upper-center PF toy. If I had a CAD drawing of TBL, I'm confident it would line up right on top of MM's CAD drawing nearly perfectly.
Discuss.
Is continually re-using an Eddy MM fan layout good for pinball?

Quoted from HENSBROOKER:

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 Hazoff:

Sorry Aurich but in this case you are wrong, Metallica wasn't popular till after that atrocity of a black Album and until then the recordings were not very good, I'm an audio engineer. Why Stern doesn't develop a better LED processing board that gives more of a incandescent look to there lights, who knows? but STLE has amazing lighting and Met Pre for me has to be the best lit machine to date. I haven't seen TBL in person and I hope it has beaten everyone only gets better from here as a result.
Listen TBL better be ground breaking or they won't last long and yeah I want it to force other pin companies to step up their game. But to say TBL murders Stern in sound and lights is a little harsh, I think you've hopped on TBL lovers bandwagon, I know its good but take it easy.

Quoted from OldPinster:

I really love the look of TBL. It has the feel of a Willams game from the 90's in that there seem to be several different "areas" in the game to explore ... like walking through several rooms in a house. Hobbit seems really cool too ... but it feels like a 1 room house. That might sound silly but that's how it feels to me.
I really love that there are suddenly many manufacturers popping up creating new games. What a great thing!! BUT ... I wish there were more manufacturers targeting the 5k-6k price range. Only Stern seems to be selling in that range? Is there just no room for cutting edge games in that price range? It's tough to make an impulse buy these days. lol. Why aren't some of these ingenious guys figuring out how to make an epic game in this price range? You can't compete with Stern in that price range?

Quoted from pinballslave:

OK, so can someone who played the game or saw it being played explain how it's possible to get a 7/10 split AND be able to get a strike... There must either be some interaction between the pins to make a ball that can roll between the 7 and 10 pins be able to knock them all down in one roll... Or, if they don't contact each other somehow, they must be using some timing software to determine where the ball hit the rack and then retract the un-hit pins... Am I wrong!?

Quoted from Jvspin:

I wonder why they didn't use a smaller ball.
