Quoted from bigd1979:

Surprised they are listening to Pinside and the complaints and adding some little things. It was stated that this pin was being made for the pinball company and its retail customers that really dont care about toys, rules and price as much? Its great they are adding some things but will it really make a big enough difference to change the type of buyers? I guess will see but my guess is the changes wont be big enough for most of the people on here to be buyers unless your adding deep rules, another ramp and at least 1 interactive toy. That's what the majority on here seem to want and i doubt that kind of stuff will be added. Cant wait to see the finished product and gameplay and thax for more pins spooky and pinball company.

Quoted from FawzmaGames:

I thought I mentioned rules several posts back.

Rules work for what the lay out is. BUT, if people truly hate them, I have no problem rewriting the rules.
Rules are as follows
You have to collect all the characters. Outer orbit (orbitty), targets(george), pops(rosi), loop back(elroy), spinner (left astro), ramp(judy), Jane(lower lanes)
Collecting all characters starts orbit city MB. Rinse repeat by collecting the characters while in multiball, using the newton ball to collect jackpots.
Lanes above pops grant a mystery award, and multiply end of ball bonus.
Left scoop 3 times to "lock" balls, then shoot spacely captive to start cogs vs spacely. Shoot left scoop a couple time to release the captive ball. shoot captive to activate jackpots, collected from newton ball.
Right spinner will be a super spinner type scoring .. spinning it up to advance the points. Score may be related to how many characters are collected.
eep opp ork activates when you beat cogs and orbit city. This will be a take on collecting XX about of switch hits.
Then there's Jet Screamer.. Activates, when eep op ork, orbit city and cogs have all been beaten. Rules not fleshed out yet, but you may be force to collect X amount of random characters, locking them in the captive, then releasing with jackpots shots.
Another take on jet screamer would be to collect 2 or more characters again.. using left scoop or right captive(most likely) to start mode. Depending on how many characters you collected before starting, determines your jackpot amounts.

Quoted from CrazyLevi:

What are you talking about? They never said they were adding anything because of pinside whining, they simply pointed out that the game pictured on the flyer is missing a few things that are still being approved.
You really seem to have it out for these guys. If you would have asked me if Pinball Company should have posted in this thread at all, I'd have said no, that will be a terrible mistake and nothing good can come of it. There's a reason why none of the pinball companies want their reps posting here and it's being proven in this thread.

Quoted from Pahuffman:

Me patiently waiting for a gameplay video

Quoted from pinmister:

The question is what is an acceptable price for what you are actually getting and what is an acceptable profit margin to manufacture and invest?

Quoted from chadderack:

One suggestion...
PLEASE tell me that Spacely yelling "Jetson---yourb-b-b-b-b-b-b're fired!" is the call out for the tilt sound.

Quoted from BackFlipper:

That is awesome news. I am already buying toys. Hopefully, I will find a spot for this one. It just came today.

I will turn it into a topper if I have to. Keep up the great work!

Quoted from PinballCompany:

Send Jetsons callout suggestions to [email protected].
Include character and what you want them to say. Keep it clean enough to get WB/Hanna-Barbera approval.

Quoted from Bryan_Kelly:

Then you obviously don't know Charlie or Nic.

Quoted from lpeters82:

I know it would probably turn into a logistical nightmare; but in theory could 300 guys get together to make a pinball machine for $4,000 to $5,000?

Quoted from CrazyLevi:

No.
I can't theorize a single situation in which this could actually work.

Quoted from Mike_J:

Is that a toy or statue?

Quoted from BackFlipper:

It's a toy, a snap together model actually. It comes in the box you see pictured. They go for $60 to $100 on eBay. I doubt it will be included in the game.

Quoted from BrewinBombers:

Yikes; at least B66 didn't ship with that typo.

Quoted from CrazyLevi:

These completely made-up and based upon absolutely nothing numbers are SHOCKING to me!!!!
Unless someone else can come up with their own made up numbers based upon nothing, I'm taking this dude's side here. Without another imaginary bill of materials to refute this one, IT'S GREED PEOPLE!!! Just look at the numbers!!!

Quoted from rai:

If we got enough guys together on pinside it could possibly be done maybe pinball company or someone else as an intermediary

Quoted from sevenrites:

Did you ever see any factory tour videos?

Quoted from Flato:

So is the next pin from spooky really going to be scooby doo?

Quoted from kidchrisso:

...I think Elvira

Quoted from Bryan_Kelly:

No.

Quoted from benheck:

Elvira 3 is not coming from Spooky.

Quoted from Pinfactory2000:

elvira? eesh. Honestly, how many pins does a washed up C actress do we need?

Quoted from Pinfactory2000:

elvira? eesh. Honestly, how many pins does a washed up C actress do we need?

Quoted from spfxted:

How many comments do we need from a washed up pinball player?

Quoted from Ericpinballfan:

Apparently 3!
Boob's sell, ask Hugh Hefner!

Quoted from Pinfactory2000:

I've never really been one for skin stretched over inanimate objects but I'm weird like that!

Quoted from Pinfactory2000:

apparently just over 17,000...

Quoted from snakesnsparklers:

So you don't like boobs, butts, or any other physical feature involving skin. Got it.

Quoted from o-din:

I feel the same way, but on the other hand nobody is forcing any of us to buy it.
The more themes they release that we have zero interest in, the more money we can keep in our pockets.
Try to look on the bright side.

Quoted from pinmister:

I really feel like this project was rushed and the final product could have been delayed while putting in a little extra effort to make the game have more depth and features. If I were to invest in a contract build I would make sure it was not a dud. I am not saying I am an expert in pinball manufacturing and yes I do not have a clue of how difficult the process is, but at the same time I am detail oriented and this machine simply would not be high enough quality for me to be affiliated with or invest in. I know the Pinball Company stated that they tried to get the price down to a more reasonable price (pricing that would justify the simple featureless layout) but were unable to because of licensing fees, etc. Sorry but I am calling bs on this one. Here is my guesstimate on Pinball Companies new contract build investment...
Cost to build and develop 300 units from Spooky=$1,000,000 or $ 3333.00 per unit
Licensing fee for Jetsons (thirty year old franchise with little relevance in today's society) $50,000-$70,000K-Mabye
Now let's do the math on sales pricing:
First 100 at $5900=$590,000
Second 100 at $6499=$649,900
Third 100 at $6999=$699,900
For a grand total of $1,939,800
less cost of build=$1,070,000
Total estimated profit for Pinball Company=$869,800 not too shabby
I understand this is another greedy money grab situation and it reminds me of Stern selling a $5200 Batman66 for $15,000. Yes this machine is not for pinsiders but it is for a greedy pinball distributor to take advantage of noobies and weak minded homeowners who don't know what they are actually buying. I feel like this is taking advantage of specific cliental(new pinball machine owners) and yes it may help get more people into the hobby, but at what cost? Do you need to bend people over just because they are ignorant or new to the hobby? Sorry if I offended anyone, but to me this is just another greedy attempt to capitalize on the resurgence of pinball. Stay classy

Quoted from Pinfactory2000:

Completely agree. Just think the elvira fascination is bizarre at this stage of the game. But hey, the cryptkeeper(s) just got another game at stern (Aerosmith) so nothing is off the table!

Quoted from o-din:

Pinball is going through a retro theme faze right now with no real end in sight. But hey, if that's what the people are buying, then who can really argue with that.
I bought a Batman myself mostly because I like the music and it turns out to be a great shooting game. And in ten years there won't be much difference between a 50 year old theme it is now vs. a 60 year old theme it will be then.

Quoted from Pinfactory2000:

I hear you. Just seems odd to me.
