Quoted from spinal:

Can someone write in words exactly what is being changed or give a reference to written announcement from JJP? OP just assumed we are all up to date on all details. Thanks

Watch the vid it's the 15th post

#39 6 years ago
Quoted from jgentry:

hopefully jjp is looking for ways to add some other things in to make up for the difference.

Hopefully JJP gets wind of this thread!! A lot of unhappy folks especially the ones who put down a deposit..

Quoted from pipes:

» YouTube video

It kinda reminds me of a game i do believe it was made by Sega...It had a spinning disc and it would collect 3 balls in the middle(Magnet) and spin wildly and then it would release the balls going in different directions..Very Cool feature but i can't remember the name of the pin...

#129 6 years ago

Yes!! Thank you,Twister

Quoted from Pintopia:

I'll take one of the prototypes to go please.

Good thinking and if you have trouble/problems with the spinning disc just call me i'll be on my way to fix it...Lol!!
and i'll play a few games...

Quoted from DerGoetz:

we just passed a 100 supposed cancellations....

Yikes!!! 100 x 7-8K it really starts adding up.

#147 6 years ago
Quoted from Coolpinballdino:

Lost in space also has the same feature.

That's the game i was thinking of... Really cool feature..

#164 6 years ago
Quoted from hockeymag8:

Concentric spinning map discs with 216 useable combinations in the center of the playfield"

Wow!!! Now i see why people are really pissed,That's one killer feature..

Quoted from Coz:

I was really interested in POTC, but I went with Dialed In and we love it. To those on the fence about your purchase, get a Dialed in now and wait to see how the final shipped POTC turns out. You can always sell or trade your Dialed in on the POTC later. Have fun with a pin today instead of waiting

Yeah,sounds like a good idea,I played a few games on Dialed in,I didn't quite understand it but i've been reading more about it and i'm starting to see why it's pretty cool.

#177 6 years ago
Quoted from pipes:

I recommend watching Bowen Kerins tutorial. Some good stuff there. DI sounds pretty good right now. Not to mention it's $500 cheaper than POTC too.

Yeah i need to watch that...

#180 6 years ago
Quoted from pinlink:

Replace the discs with magnets under the playfield a la The Addams Family and fix the artwork. Problem solved!!

Yes or like the spinning magnet disk on lost in space pin or twister pin...They should at least consider these kind of options

#181 6 years ago
Quoted from pipes:

I'd probably say the same thing if I had no intention of ever buying it.

It's worth a shot at least No?

#184 6 years ago
Quoted from pipes:

It does sound better than what they're proposing. I do agree that the single disc should be eliminated completely.

Even better!

Yeah,Who knows they might think of something and come out and tell us,They do notice after so many people canceled their orders

#187 6 years ago
Quoted from Psw757:

This announcement is just strange

Quoted from PanzerFreak:

If the mech wasn't reliable wouldn't that have been determined months ago?

Exactly,Testing is always done first,Thats why like mentioned above by Psw757..This is very strange,Maybe the makers of the mechs for the disk jumped higher on their prices or no longer want to deal with it

#264 6 years ago
Quoted from Psw757:

I’m just taking a guess but Di has 420 owners on pinside and that includes operator locations. Can’t see how they have sold thousands. Woz is at 1100 and hobbit around 580 pinsiders and locations.
They just aren’t super high volume is the point I was trying to make.

It's the price's of these newer games that makes people think twice about buying one and the people who hype up older games to make a fast buck and have no interest in the pin hobby so they would go up in value...Perfect example would be TZ and TAF,outrageous price spike!! It should be the opposite Newer games-high prices,Older games-Low reasonable prices.
