Awesome news! I can't wait to get one.

Very awesome! e-mail sent as I won't be able to make the show.

Sweet!

always love to hear repros for any pinball being made, even if I don't own it. I'm curious who you approach for licensing and what it costs?

Very cool, I'll be ordering one if it isn't cost prohibitive. Been too lazy to take apart my supercharger and replace the middle magnet, and this will give me a little more incentive.

Why would someone give this a thumbs down?

Awesome. Are these going to be mass produceded or will they be a limited run?

How about maybe selling an unpainted version for less money ?

Sweeeeet

I want one!

Great idea salvaging this forgotten part of the machine. If there are any brown ones left after the show, I'll be ordering one.

Email sent. Get me on the list. Awesome!

This looks very nice and if I had a HS2 I would definitely be ordering one for it.

I want to get my Matchbox cars I had when I was a kid and drive them through this mountain! Cool!

Hi all, as the Getaway Mountain runs will be extremely limited if you want one please send an email ASAP to pinballtoys@gmail to get on the wait list queue if you have not done so already.

Please refer to the information on the pinballtoys.com Getaway Mountain page for all the details.

Product pricing and additional information will be released in the next couple of days.

I also suggest Liking us on Facebook for announcements and updates.

Thanks!

Any updates?

My review copied from the original thread--for whatever this is worth...

I just installed my mountain. Here is my take on it. Overall this was very well done--nice work Pinballtoys! Mine was dark brown with a dark grey entrance surround topped with silvery snow. I read about this color combo somewhere online and thought that might be just the perfect way to do this. Sounds a little goofy, but it really looks spiffy (especially the snow) next to the chrome supercharger. Nice job on the painting--which all looks to be done by hand. The instructions that came with the mountain were detailed, the fit turned out to be tight but good. It makes that top corner of the game a little darker, which is my only real comment on the down side. I'm thinking of making a clear lexan cover over the mountain to let some more light in--we'll see how that works/looks. On the plus side it is very cool to see the tunnel shot actually disappear into the mountain (like it was originally designed to), and it looks great when the flashing supercharger lights bounce off the mountain. Is it worth the money? Maybe not, but what pinball mod is worth what we pay for them? I can imagine the production & licensing costs for what will most likely be a low production run were pretty stiff. Bottom line--this toy really adds to the look of the game--I'd say if you plan on keeping your Getaway, I would add this mountain to it. I think you will like it.

I just installed my mountain.

Post a Pict-- I want to see it on yr Pin !!

My Getaway will NEVER Leave ,, but that Mtn mod -- ( No ) To each their Own ...

I'll try and get you a shot tomorrow, it looks a lot better than it photographs. The stoplite does seem disproportionate, I have to think if the mountain was not canned the stoplite would have looked different...

I think it looks cool but am still on the fence.

Here is what it looks like.

mod is very easy to install and looks like it should be there. thanks for making it!!!

I installed mine last night. Looks great. Will be adding a spotlight on it to brighten it up.

Carey

wow, looks real cool!!!!

Can someone post a picture from the players point of view? I am only seeing close-ups of the mountain and am not feeling it. So wanted to see how it looked from further away.

Check this out, BoJo

Thank you sir. Just what I was looking for.

Can you elaborate a bit... more specifically... are there spotlight kits that I can buy to add lighting?

Any word on another run?

I was supposedly on the list from about day 1 got a "we'll be delivering soon" response...and now about 2 months later, I get no email responses from these guys.

Anybody have an update on the Getaway mountain?

Thanks.

Robert

Hi Robert, sorry for the delay, we really wanted to have them all shipped by now. We've encountered delay after delay due to technical issues, equipment issues, personal issues etc...but they are coming along.

We are still working on them, all weekend, every weekend and most workday evenings. We really appreciate the support from the community, I cannot understate this enough! The mountains are just VERY labor intensive to make, much more so than I imagined. The mountains are currently in the final trim stage. Next we test fit each one of them on the game and then they get painted and clear coated. I'm expecting the remaining processes to take about 2-3 weeks.

We are doing our best to start shipping the week of or the week after Expo. We should also have a larger quantity to ship in this batch.

Thank you for the support and kind words about the mountain everyone, and again, my apologies for the delay.

Chris:

Great, thanks for the response.

Somewhere, a Williams cost-cutting accountant is finally vindicated.

Do you think you'll be able to meet the demand? I got on the list a couple months ago and have been checking this thread and the other one ever since.

No kidding!

We're sure trying to meet the demand. Just a matter of how long it'll take to get all the mountains cranked out...

IMG_0448.JPGThe Mountain is very cool!

omg this looks so bad, but i'm sure people will buy them up. some people will stick anything on a machine.

i appreciate the effort to make something someone wants though. i think that's cool.

These mountains were originally supposed to be in the production games, but were part of the cost cutting effort. This is not some crappy mod, they started with the Original Williams tooling and produced them. I thin t looks decent. I own the game and will not rush to put one in, but may go for one at a later time.

You really need to see one in person before making a definitive decision, they really do look nice on the machine--way nicer than the hokey "mountain" screened on the plastic. I took that off and cut out a clear Lexan replacement to get rid of it.

I'm aware of the history. People have been trying this for years. Honestly, it looks like a giant turd. Maybe pair up with matt at back alley and see what he can come up with.

Efforts toward a new alternative translite and speaker grill would make more sense.

Hopefully I'm still on the list for the missing Mtn Mod. They look great, very tasteful and fills that gap on the playfield.

After having installed one on my machine, I very much agree.

I have one installed and think it is great to be able to have the same mountain that was proposed by the Getaway team but shot down due to costs. Thanks Chris. Getaway owners never thought one would be available. Those that do not like won't add it.

I cant wait to get one, i think it looks great! Ive never heard of anyone complain about the translight or DMD panel before? I wouldnt dream of changing the classic artwork!

Hey, look at that Donut Heaven! You now have the first complete game. Remember you have the first production run, serial number 001. Good thing you don't have to wait for a software update. Sorry, had to plug it.

Wow, I never thought of that--but that is cool! That has to be worth a ka-billion karma points!

If I remember correctly you've also got production serial 001 of the mountain too! Ka-billion +1

Saw these at the Seattle Show earlier this year. You guys are doing a great job on them, they look fantastic!!

Woah, how did that happen? Most Excellent!

I am sending Steve Ritchie one. Maybe he will agree to sign yours later
