Yeah I agree with this guy on most things he says about Pokemon pinball: it's a perfect approachable pin, the arena chaos might not be welcome for some players, it's going to be fun as hell some day, no interest in owning it.

They spoke repeatedly how it is made with newbies on mind so in that context it's a huge success. Imagine the experience of a lifelong Pokemon fan stepping up to this machine for the first time. It's going to deliver an incredible experience and make so many people happy. I bet it's going to be big ...

For everyone who thought avengers Infinity quest rules was too complex!

I am fascinated to see how well this pin does outside of the hobby. Best of luck Stern.

Ash looking more like Dora's brother ! :) People who deliberately misrepresent AI images should be driven into the ocean, and that's the . moderate position. Can't wait to see ...

"hi, just wanted to let you know I would be interested in this game for $1800."
and I wouldn't post it publicly because I don't want the seller to feel like I'm publicly shaming them

this is not a theme I am particularly interested in, but just think of the possibilities they could do with Insider Connected and slowly building a full Pokedex. Next-gen angles of pinball, like P3 and IC development, have me so curious as to what might get done next. There's many possibilities for ...

I am hyped to see the pin, and the effect it has on the pinball community with such a powerful theme.
I was worried it would be Transformers.

I will do $600 on the Kicker Catcher and if not I'll make space for it back on the shelves.

I'll believe/care it when I see the machines in people's collections.

someone get this, there's no (legal) way to have that much fun for 500!

Merry Christmas everyone!
Once again I asked for a Godzilla Pro NIB and I did not happen but I got everything I really wanted: time with family.
Now if you'll excuse me my daughter needs help sifting through evidence of homicide cold cases.

I am not yet sure what I am going to be doing with it, but it has been fun to research.

make me an offer and play with it over the holidays!

I would like to change my lineup in 2026, looking to trade my Jurassic Park Pro + $$$ for a Godzilla or King Kong. Mostly looking for pro editions, but would still work a deal out for a premium. Not in a rush, just putting out feelers. Hoping to arrange something by the spring. I am in the Ottawa ...

Twenty One is sold.
Get yourself a Kicker Catcher for Xmas!

Imagine getting something like that under the tree!

my troubleshooting method: identify all of the switches that trigger the motor to run. you have already tested with the jones plug out, so you can safely ignore any of the triggers in the backbox. go through the remaining switches that get the motor running and see which ones are currently pulled in ...

It's the AX relay! It's always the AX relay.... *grumbling*

Do you have a scan of the schematics? I need them for my archives. I can also take a look at the signal path

Good advice, definitely something I feel I'm doing with my game room too.

The game sold out at many distributors even before any images came out, pinball is fucking wild!
Spooky only had about 70 to sell direct and those went in about 2 minutes.

This looks even better than evil dead

No sorry Luch, sold locally
