## Transcript

Howdy pinball community. TPF is just around the corner and I wanted to give you a quick update. If you've been following along, you know that we went to TPF last year with our first playable Whitewood prototype and then we went to Expo in October with our improved playfield layout and our slimline cabinet. We go to these events and we bring our game because we want you to play it, we want to hear your feedback, we want to know what you're looking for and we want to take those things incorporated into our design so that we can deliver you the best product possible. and the rest of the team. So, we've taken everything that we've learned in October. We've been working hard since then to re-engineer our cabinet so that we have a standard size cabinet with a coin door. That new cabinet works with our removable glass frame. Our removable glass frame has the integrated RGB lights just like it did before, but now it includes standard size tempered pinball glass instead of polycarbonate. Those were some key takeaways from the show in October, and I think we've accomplished all those things in our new design. and we going to TPF here in just a couple days We got two of these machines of the new design that we going to take We love for you to come by and play those I just updated our website with a bunch of new information It got pictures of the game pictures of the play field and I think you are going to love it A Jogi B and B A new price for Ninja Eclipse is $69.94 This is still limited to 100 units. They're all going to be badged and numbered as our first edition. We've also incorporated colored powder coating, interior art blades, we've kept our premium sound. As I said, we also kept the removable glass frame with the integrated lighting. The package looks beautiful. I can't wait for you to come and take a look. Again, please check out our website.
