Minneapolis, MN
Any guesses as to the ‘80s movie theme the K-man mentioned today on his podcast that Deeproot has supposedly secured the license for? He said it’s as big as Ghostbusters. That’s a pretty big theme.

Quoted from nwpinball:On par with Ghostbusters would be something like ET, Back to the Future, Top Gun, Beverly Hills Cop, Ferris Bueller, Die Hard and the Karate Kid.
Those are all great themes and consistent with the Ghostbusters reference. I just can’t believe those franchises would license to an unproven company like Deeproot, but, then again, what do I know about licensing?
Quoted from DS_Nadine:Heighway Pinball got Alien (trough Mr. Sharpe), so...
That’s an excellent point. I forgot about Alien and Heighway.
Quoted from digitaldocc:I'm thinking $3500 to steal the show.
$3500? I’d be all over a RAZA for the price, but I also think it’s totally unrealistic.
Quoted from jeffspinballpalace:Order it now for $5k delivered would scratch my sweet spot
Totally agree. Forget $3500. They would still sell a ton of units at $5000.
Quoted from PinballManiac40:I am only expecting 250, 500, or 750 RAZA games. Robert already stated 8 months ago and that it will be limited. Since it will be limited, I expect 10k price.
Despite the chatter on a lower price, I totally agree. Raza is to make the ZidWare customers whole. I don’t really see it has a platform pin so to speak. So, I agree with your low unit number, high price assessment. I think it’s the only approach that makes any sense based on the info we have.
Quoted from BazilBLast:On the other hand people are willing to wait 2 years for spooky games .
But Spooky has a proven track record and Deeproot does not.
Quoted from BazilBLast:A company has to start from somewhere doesn't it ?
Jjp started with woz and no one knew about them .
Apparently they've got a big 80's licence , lots of reputable people and have spent a lot of money , why do all of that if you're not going to make anything .
I understand what your saying but there is a lot of history and baggage associated with Deeproot that didn’t exist with other new pinball companies. I do think there is a difference.
Quoted from BazilBLast:Besides taking on Jpop and trying to give his customers something ( otherwise they would have got nothing ) I don't see what deep root has done wrong , besides talking tuff .
I realise as a pinsider I should be hanging shit on them and trying to discourage them at every point but for some reason I would like to be positive and see what new games they have for us .
I agree with what your saying but I think there is a difference between being suspect and not being positive. I’m super positive about the launch and hope it all works out and the pins are amazing, but at the same time I’m a bit suspect.
Quoted from ataritoday:want to give props to spooky
Mega props to Spooky. Rock on guys 
After wading through the posts in this thread and reading the updated TWIP article, I agree that there is a more positive outlook. However, my question is has Deeproot issued any updated timeline? For example, RAZA just needs some tweaking and not a complete overhaul. When? When? When?

Quoted from CLEllison:If it's not cost effective to maintain well then I'm against all this fancy stuff ya know?
Amen, brother. Well said.
Quoted from mrgone:ben heck is on the latest K podcast.
even if you are not a fan of K. you really should listen as Ben Heck lays it out. he is professional and respectful but speaks the simple truth on jpop, Robert, and deeproot.
its really worth a listen.
Agreed. I didn’t know a lot about Ben Heck, but I was really impressed by him. Put it this way, he knows a lot about a lot of stuff.
Quoted from CrazyLevi:Where are you going to keep this monstrosity?
If you watch the Creopack video, the crate breaks down for easier storage. With that being said, I don’t need or want the thing at all.
