Whoa Nellie! Big Juicy Melons confirmed + pricing + pics

Quoted from frolic:
I understand that the theme is very "inside pinball" and an homage, but so few outside people would understand

Very few outside would understand how we can pay in excess of 5k for any of this.

Wait, if spike is running the game how would update it without a display? That doesnt make sense.

Don't you see that Blue LCD display in the score card holder? That's where you will read information from the board set.

It's a nice looking machine but the theme is a turnoff.

Then it's not the game for you.

Quoted from sturner:
Not sure a wife would want this sitting around the house.

Depends on the wife.

A modern, confident, liberal woman would be amused by the cheesecake appeal.

A pantsuit wearing, conservative woman would be threatened immediately.

Quoted from sturner:
Not something you want to bring home if you have kids.

Today's kids don't have to go out to the garage and crank off to their dad's Snap-On calendar, or find his stash of Playboys, they have a whole internet/cableTV/cellphone that is full of hardcore sex. Even if they don't have a phone yet, their friends are trying to shock them with the most frightening penis pictures they can find.

Again, incorrect. Just because it doesn't appeal to everyone doesn'y mean they are "threatened" by it. It sounds like you are "threatened" by conservative women. How sad....

Real wood trim, comes with legs and the base. Gobble hole is gone, because the average 'out side the hobby' player would have no idea where the ball went. It now looks like it kicks it to the pops. Looks like a small lcd in the intrusion card. Maybe for showing scores ect.
Really other than ramps, it's essentially the same b.o.m. cost as any "modern" game. And I am sure the wood trim and extra base more than make up for that.
just my thoughts after sleeping on it from yesterday.

You haven't paid much attention.

Tits BUILT pinball. Check out the games of the 60s and 70s.

Tits as far as the eye can see.

I have no idea what category you all want to put me into, but this is hanging in my arcade, front and center for all to see. And yes, I'm the one that bought it. I put it beside my husband's theater door then later realized that he might want it somewhere less obvious, but apparently busty blondes are perfectly alright anywhere.

Quoted from pinnyheadhead:
So you have 255 people in your invite only hedge fund, but it only has $125 million in assets. That is an average of only $500,000 each investor right now and you say the fund went up 800% in 3 years. So, your fund had a total of around $15 million, or less because you added investors since, in it 3 years ago and you invited only investors who had to invest 100k to get in? You really do not manage that much money for the returns you have been making. Kind of weird actually.
I am not saying you do not do well. If you are getting a 2% fee and 20% fee on profits annually that is awesome. It just does not make sense how you are a private invite only hedge fund when your average investor only has $500K in today, after they have made 800% the last 3 years alone. Why would someone like yourself want to deal with those mid level investors when you started making 125% returns? Why did you not go for and have whales as clients?
Not to be a jerk, but what you said makes no sense. There could be more to the story, which I am sure there is. What are the names of your charities? That would be a good start. I will look into them.

EXCELLENT POST!!!!!!!!!!!!

I only have two questions and I am serious on both of them.

1) Who is going to make watermelon shooter rods for mine? Please PM me.

2) Will the game have holes where the legs go? I really hate the idea of having it on the crate with leg holes on the corners showing. If so, we may need a wooden corner mod.

I am one of the three people already buying one of these. Remember, they were selling these for $13K to $15K just a couple of years ago. I'm not saying it's a $6K game, but if the same quality of workmanship is going into them, they are not a $3K game either.

As far as I am concerned if you want a titty based machine, just come out with it and put tits all over it. I'm not a 10 year old child who finds melons in place of boobs funny. I just don't get the appeal.

Excuse me if I got the MSRP wrong. I didn't know. And when I was corrected, I said, thank you, I didn't know that. And yes, my ejection from the Predator thread was BS.
But I'll take you up on your suggestion to read more. I'll keep reading page after page of people trying to figure out where their Predator money went. It's a great read.

Built pinball? Come on. There is one thing to have tits on a pinball machine but to make it the childish center focus of the theme? Either just have a tits based game with real tits on it or don't bother. This theme is something a 10 year old would come up with.
