Hey guys, welcome back. So today's episode we're gonna talk about... Uh, hold on, I got an incoming Skype call. Retro Ralph! This is Darth Vader. I need you to join the Dark Side. Um, sorry, name's not ringing a bell. Who are you again and why are you calling me? The Dark Side! You know, the First Order, the bad guys in the Star Wars universe! Look man, I don't know who you are, but you need to lose this number, okay? I forgot. Ralph knows nothing about Star Wars. I'll need a new approach. Let's try this. Yes, it's me, Lord Helmet. I need you to come now to Mesa. I have something important to show you. Lord Helmet? Like THE Lord Helmet? Dude, why didn't you tell me that in the first place? I'm coming right now. Yeah, guys, it's true. I know nothing about Star Wars, but I know enough that the pre-orders are up on GameStop. Yep, six hours ago, so at 1 o'clock this morning, I sent a tweet out saying, Whoa, whoa, whoa, stop the clock. It looks like the Arcade One of Star Wars Pinball pre-orders are live right now. So if you didn't get one then, you should definitely try to get one now. They're going for $5.49. Star Wars is the one, man. It's the one everyone wants. So I'll go over it really quick. These are the games that are included. you can see it on the screen you get Boba Fett a new hope yeah whatever you get all these games I don't know if you're into Star Wars you know what it is just read the damn just read the damn thing all right but if you look below it got the 23 inch LCD play field it got 7 inch LCD you know the simulated DMD You can see the size and everything like that The cool thing is they've included haptic feedback on the flippers. They also have three solenoids. I believe it's either three or four. Actually, I think Mel said they added a fourth solenoid. I'll have to confirm that. So when things are interacting with the playfield, you're going to feel that, which is really awesome. it has a real tilt and nudge the back glass lights up this thing is pretty sweet man i'm really really excited for this i think arcade one up in conjunction with zen did a really really good job so i'm gonna have links in the description to this this is gonna be a short video it's just to let you guys know because honestly i don't think these are gonna be around for that long i know they're gonna have limited quantities so if this is something that you're really really excited about i would suggest you just get it i don't think you should waste any time if it's something you really wanted get it now because i think there's gonna be limited quantities this year and then there'll be more next year but if you want it right now i suggest you just go do it but that's all we got here for this episode i just wanted to make it quick go get this thing if this is something you want it will be back in 2021 but i know in 2020 quantities are going to be super limited and i would hate for one of you guys to miss out so if you like this video please give me a thumbs up consider subscribing to the channel and we will see you on the next one take care guys We'll see you next time.
