Stern has done a wonderful job of keeping pinball manufacturing alive. Over the past few years, several new companies have entered the market. The concept of pre-order is how these new companies are ensuring they have enough interest before production. Who is your favorite new Pinball Manufacturer?

Quoted from moto_cat:

The Circus Maximus Group , Python's Pinball Circus

From what I can tell they are not selling anything. Everything listed at least has a pre-order option.

Thanks to everyone who has voted. Have to admit that I am surprised at the strong following for Spooky pinball. Expected JJP to get the most votes. Sterns predictability in production keeps them high on the list as well. The remaining companies need to produce to gain credibility.

Quoted from Sjsilver:

That is the truth, people really need to see it in person and play it to judge the gameplay, and for that matter, the whole art package of the game. I personally feel like there is no way you can do the game justice in videos, as you really need to experience how it all works together. Lexy really is a fun game with lots going on, and because the screen can dynamically change to let you know what you need to do, it is by far the easiest to understand game I have ever played. And the game just keeps getting better and better as the code gets more mature.
What you can see in the latest video, I think, is just how versitile the game is as a platform for future developers. That is what the modularity video is all about. Everything about this system is designed to let game designers focus on the fun part of the process (design) and minimizes the unfun part (manufacturing) that seems to trip up so many well intentioned new designers today. In addition to giving them all the tools to ship complete games without having to build a huge pinball machine factory, it also is designed to provide a built in customer base that will be hungry for new games. That kind of foundation is huge for talented designers, and as the system grows it will feed itself in a virtuous circle. I can't wait to see how future first and third party games turn out on the platform.
I love Lexy as a game, but I love what the P3 platform means for the future of pinball. I also love seeing kids get excited about it. I really hope my collection is worth something when I die because a new generation falls in love with the idea of a physical ball rolling around an exciting playground under glass. I think the P3 platform is a key part in making that happen.

I hope to go to a show and see the actual P3 platform or Lexy. i a, planning on going to the Pittsburgh show, maybe the manufacturer will be there. Until I see one in person, the videos are not impressing me. Will hold out my official opinion until I play one.

Quoted from ronlisa:

Any company that can design and bring a pinball title to market is number one to me.

There can only be one.
