## Transcript

Yes, I'm with Gerard. Well, where? Den Bosch? Yes, but then a Bosch ball huh? People, we are at Flemming. You don't know him. Hello. And Flemming has made himself a gift. We're going to help him to unpack his Harry Potter Collectors Edition, install it and play with it. Man, what a party! Yes, a party! I've been looking forward to it for a long time. You've never unpacked a flip-up cabinet before, have you? Unpacked? No, no. Also not a brand new one, so that's nice. Official moment, I'm going to hand you the tooth and then you can take the green one. And that's the official moment. Well, let's hope it's in there. I can't touch the cabinet, they took the receipt with them. This is the collectible. Number 96. Because you wanted something with a 9 and a 6 in it. I'm 96 Kientje. So we're going to take the bags off again. Yes. I haven't been to you yet either, on the express. Because you have it already. Yes, of course. I really wanted to have it for the first time. Here it is. Oh my god, how cool. Now you can see the bottom. You can see that there are also LED lights in here. This is part one of the Unboxing course. And this one is successful. Flemming, you already have a few flip-up cabinets at home. Yes, that's right. And this is the first new one. First new one. But tell us, how did you end up with flip-ups? Because your generation is more game-minded. That's right. Well, what really bothered me was that I used to flip-up a lot. Whenever there was a flip-up cabinet somewhere, I wanted to play on it. And that came from the early days, when I was playing football or in the first pubs I went to. You also had flip-flops, but now they're gone. Picking up machines or nothing. But what I like so much is that I'm also a gamer, you know, Fortnite and that kind of stuff. But after a while, I always notice something behind the screen, I go crazy. After a while I wanted to have something in my hands and I was looking for something, easier is not really the word but more something simple And then I thought I just want something fun And then I went to your place once And then I thought just shoot a ball Understand the box because everyone thinks you shoot a ball keep your life a little bit And that's it. But you have so many different modes in such a box. And it's just very nice. I really like it. Same with darts or football. You hit something, you throw or you shoot and you hit it. And that feeling is better than any other video game. And what I also really like about a flapper cabinet is that you often play games online with friends with a headphone on and at a distance. So that's also very nice if you're not together. But if you come together with your friends, open a bottle of wine, open a beer, everyone behind that cabinet. Yes, that's so fucking magical. So really, yes, that's really, really fun. Well, all right. Then we go into phase two. Phase two. One, two. Damn. I would say, official moment, this was the mayor's act. This is really Champions League through and through. What is also nice to tell you, Harry Potter is an American company, the Jersey Jack Pinball, but four Dutch people work with it. We have worked with the Dutch company to design the Harry Potter box. Olaf, Johnny, Lars and Jean-Paul. They told me amazing things. For example, here are three magic wands. From Hermione, Harry Potter and Ron. They had the official drawings from the license holder. They were huge. You won't find better replicas of the wands in this box. No way you will find it. These are one-on-one props and props. This is Pipke, a player from Quidditch. This is the eleventh game of Jersey Jack Pinball. They started with Wizard of Oz and made Willy Wonka. And since it is a team player, the Dutch team had thought if we now paint the number 11 on her back, that is a very nice reference to the 11th game, then you have player 11. The SensiHouwer didn't like it that much, so all those dolls had to be painted again to get the 11th. We see another foam sitting in the cabinet, as we call it. That's the thing. That's the tilt. Tilt. Yes, let me sit like that. So this is tilt. What is tilt? It is a pendulum in a ring. If you push it, it will move. But if you are too crazy, it will hit the edge. You get a kind of short circuit. Actually all mechanics are dead. And the pinball machine actually says to you, hey, take it easy. It a kind of yellow card red card situation But imagine you weren a famous singer You became a flipper case designer What would be the ultimate flipper case for you if you could design a flipper case based on a theme Oh my god. Well, it was actually Harry Potter first. When I came to your store, you asked me what kind of flipper case I would like. I said Harry Potter, but that's not it. Then you said, it's coming. That's so nice. Yes. But what would I like to see now? That's a difficult question. The Starwars are already there. Starwars are already there, yes. Would Pokemon be something for you? Pokemon would be pretty hard. I used to play the Gameboy, the Pokemon Pinball. I already had that. That's where it started. Pokemon would be great. With Avatar, but then the anime is also great. Yes, Avatar also consists of the same brand. Or a British Paddington. Brits of Paddington. Paddington flipper case. You have to be very nice, you have to make one of them and we know a buyer, but that is very difficult. That is. This is satisfying. To you the honor. Yes. Same place as the Lord of Dreams. Exciting. It's all LED, something different from Lord of the Rings 2004. Yes. You can have that front end sound controller. You can even put your headphone in it or a dongle. You can have an ultimate experience. You can hear the quotes. I hear a really big sound. I also get text and explanation. But it's so nice, because I have the Lord of the Rings, and that's from 2004. And that's so nice, because that's the iconic classic. You have a few things, but it's still there. And this is the case that shows in the new era how a flipper case can look like. It's really bizarre. Hey, it's your honor. Press start and let's go. Gohan, Please do not faze us lol Just imagine Zeus sparing Beьте I'll cover the ramp with my back mods already working Yeah he going to punish me right away What a mess Oh tilt huh But he didn do it Did he tilt it right away Yes. He quickly has this closet. So. Woe! I lost it again. Oh he punished me. Oh that picture was terrible. And keep watching because he also makes a video of it. And then one to the left and then you have Ant. You must control yourself next time. Yes, also in terms of facial expressions. Well, it's really what Guns N' Roses also has for you. Those vibrations, oh man. It really lives. Shall I let you know better how it's done? Yes, sure. He's good at it. Watch out. Just do the ball, not too long. You have four flippers, so you have a little one above that. That's a very nice... It starts with a skill set, right? It's very clumsy to bring the ball into the game, it doesn't make much sense. You can change it. Not so cool. A few moments later. Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. Shoot the rat and the gold shot. Two thousand years later. One eternity later. We're going to have a cup of coffee and maybe play a game. Sure. Guys, thanks for watching. And have fun with it. Yes, thank you very much guys. And yes, really super fun. Hopefully I'll be back soon. In January I'll be back in Rotterdam, so I'll be back for sure. Yes, for everyone, go to Flipperkastmuseum once. It's so nice, so much variety and so many boxes. And yes, they help you very well too. So thank you boss. Really, what a crazy. I'm only going to be here today. I don't know
