Hey gang, my apologies, I usually don't post here (longtime lurker) but a great many of the fine folks here have gotten to know me over the years of going to pinball shows, playing in league, and parties & events.

I'm sure many of you already know most of the backstory of this tragically under-produced game, and the much talked about end of Heighway pinball. As a brief addendum to Aurch's Aliens story, I'm the animator/motion graphics artist on the game. When Aurich brought me on in 2015, I too was working on a royalty basis for all assets I created. However, when my wife was on maternity leave with our 2nd daughter, I had an opening in my schedule which allowed me to work on the game full time from home. After a great deal of negotiation, I had agreed to work for half my wages up front with the promise of royalties to make up the difference when the games finally shipped. Sadly, we all now know the outcome of how this ended.

I am truly grateful that the investors were to still able to honor this part of my agreement. And I'm also super proud of the work we did on this game- A/V and rules, this is a complete package. It was an honor to work with such an amazingly talented team! Like many of you, this game was my dream theme to work on. Unfortunately, as much as I would LOVE to hold on to this game forever, due to many circumstances, I MUST sell.

With that said, I've never sold a pinball machine before, let alone ever owned a rare one to offer. I'm really not sure what the value of this game is? I know Aurich had some luck with his: https://pinside.com/pinball/forum/topic/price-check-what-s-my-nib-alien-le-worth

As a full-time freelance animator with a family, I would hope that I might be able to get enough to make up for some of the loss in compensation. I'd love to find someone who is also passionate about this game/theme. Bonus if you're local, and would be open to letting play the game once you've got it setup (the only time I actually got to play the game was at EXPO 2016). Hopefully you guys can help me find the right home for this game?

The game is still sealed NEW IN BOX, and still on the pallet it was shipped with. Mine, along with Aurich's were among the last 3 games to leave the factory before the doors closed. Also note, I had requested the game have custom Black trim rather than slime green. I'm open to any private offers, feedback, or suggestions before I have to list it in the marketplace. Once it goes, I'll be sure to make a donation to Pinside. Thanks!

Hey Odin, ha ha. Supreme is actually 2 blocks away from where I live. Supposedly this year they were only doing lottery online for new product sales, but there's still always an inexplicably long line down the street days before they open. Maybe I should have camped out with the kids while I was waiting for my game to arrive

Thanks for your kind words!
Maybe someday I'll get to work on my other dream theme - using stop motion!

The saddest thing about all of this is that, before this game was discontinued, and the company no more, the original plan was to put this thing for free-play in a certain private (but well visited) undisclosed pinball parlor that you may know of

If a Harryhausen game ever happens, I better be working on it!!! I was actually at his 90th birthday party at the BFI before Ray passed away : http://www.bfi.org.uk/films-tv-people/4fc75e0644f9c

At the after party, I had asked one of the speakers seen above take my photo with Ray and his wife. When he handed me back my phone, I realized he smirkingly cropped the top of my head out of the picture on purpose!

So, just to clarify, I didn't post here to feel out the price of the game so much as WHO might be interested.

I'm of course hoping to get a good price, but I would honestly prefer the game go to someone who really loves it. It would also be great if the buyer was local, but that's probably asking too much. And finally, who ever is gets the game needs to be easy to deal with, and someone who other people here can at least vouch for.

With that said, any silent offers I get will be considered within reason. If I wanted a fast sale, I already have that on offer.

I'll probably feel it out till the weekend, but maybe longer if that's what it takes to find the right home. I'm in no hurry.

It probably would have scared Josie

Thank you everyone for reaching out. It was great to connect with so many of you that are so passionate about the theme, and LOVE this game.

I've found a great home for it! The GAME IS SOLD. Thanks again.
