Feels Pinball Direct 5 Feels Pinball Right Now, Right? Feels PinballRight Now, Right? Feels like everyone's waiting for something to happen in Pinball right now, right? Where are the toy stories? Where's Cactus Canyon LA? Where's Dennis Nordman's new game? Is ben heck ever gonna make a second game in pinball? What's happening in pinball right now as we wait for the next Stern machine, right? We're all just sort of sitting on our hands. The good news is most of us are keeping our money in our wallets. As we wait to see if Patlol This week's pinballers final game will be epic. As we wait to see if Dennis Nordman can bring the magic back. We're going to go around the pinball horn right now. Welcome to Kaneda's Pinball Podcast, the most consistent pinball podcast on planet earth. Let's hit the intro music right now. Top Gun style people. Welcome to Kaneda's Pinball Podcast, the only pinball podcast that's going to tell you Steve Ritchie's next game before they want you to know it. I've got two cups of coffee in me. I've got a sore shoulder. I haven't slept in a year and five months and I'm the number one pinball podcast on the planet says the Patreon subscribers and we're holding strong. Thank you everybody for the support. So here's what I'm going to do on this episode. I want to go around the pinball horn. I want to talk about what's happening at each company or maybe the Knapp prestige.com pursue anything in between up close and insight with salt on a…? What companies are there right now that have thrown their hat into the ring that are part of the pinball landscape? Are you ready for it? Are you sitting down? There are a total right now of 12 pinball companies, 12 pinball companies that have plans to either ship you games or are currently shipping games or are backordered on games, but 12 pinball companies. Now look down at your collection right now and you tell me how many company games do you have right now? You don't have like five or six or seven in pinball as heyday. There were not even 12 companies trying to make pinball machines. And what's funny about this is we know that making pinball is really, really hard. And it's so comical that so many companies are trying to do it. But let's go down the list of companies. I'm going to go through all 12 of them. And let's talk about what kind of 2022 they're having and where I think they're going in 2022. How does that sound? Let's start with Stern Pinball. So Stern Pinball has been on sort This week we have a 6 month break of making up backlogged orders. This company I think had around 5-10,000 orders they needed to make up for. And we're talking stuff like Godzilla, Mandalorian, Jurassic Park, Elvira. There are so many games. Rush you could go on and on and on on how many games Stern needs to make to fulfill all the orders with distributors. Now even though COVID is happening right Stern is still making games and so they're proving that even though there's a supply shortage it hasn't really stopped Stern from producing pinball machines they are still making games now are they making 400 games a week which is sort of like Stern's efficiency number when they are firing on all cylinders I don't think they're making that many but they are still making games now Stern gave everybody else out there a gift they gave Every other company out there a six month window in which they would not be releasing a new game and every other company out there has absolutely fumbled this opportunity to have games on the line and I don't think it's because they didn't want to take advantage of this period. I think it's just really hard to get parts. I think it's really hard to find labor. We're going to talk about this because when you turn your line off or your If your company doesn't have consistent orders like Stern, how do you find people to make your games? Because what happens when the orders dry up, right? What happens when you're done making hot wheels? Like who's over at American Pinball on a weekly basis? Who's in the labor department? Same thing is happening with Multimorphic. I think that is the number one problem all of these companies are facing, Haggis Pinball included, is they don't have people to make the games. The game is and even though the parts are in good luck trying to train people how to make a pinball machine. It would be hard enough to get people off of the street and train them how to make a good pizza pie, let alone a pinball machine with thousands of parts and wiring harnesses and soldering this and that and then screwing things into wood and making sure everything functions properly. How do you train people how to do that? And this is why Stern Pinball clobbers This Week in Pinball, Franchilvaniapreadernate title or abbreviation for retro at Stearn, where a team of people with a family of people over there that are highly skilled in making these pinball machines and I think everyone else out there that throws their hat into the pinball ring this is where they really fall down its not part shortages It's a labor shortage issue. Okay, so Stern Pinball has taken this break. Nobody's taken advantage of it. I think what's going to happen is this. I think in August, we are going to see Brian Eddy and ZombieYeddy's Venom Pinball Machine. I think that is what's going to be next from Stern. I think following up that will be James Bond at the end of the year. And then I think in spring summer, just in time to go back in the water, we are going to get Keith Elwin's Jaws Pinball Machine. They are simply sliding everything back. And I think that's how Stern is going to do it. I don't think they're going to skip a title. I don't think they're going to pass by Venom. I think that's going to be the next three games from Stern Pinball. Venom by Brian Eddy, George Gomez James Bond which you heard here first which every other show now is taking credit for and Keith Elwin's Jaws. That is what I am predicting is going to happen. And Stern is just going to clobber everybody. They're going to keep doing what they do. They are not going to lose any sales because of Toy Story. This company is going to keep getting orders and orders and orders. And also this, this company is going to be making Godzilla for like the next five years. But I want to say something because someone on my I think it was bond. If any of you think that Godzilla is going to outsell Adams family, if you think they're going to sell more than 22,000 Godzilla pinball machines, you're out of your mind. As successful as these modern pins are, they are not going to ever reach the sales level of the pinball machines in the 90s that were great sellers. And I'm talking about 15,000 units, 18,000 units, 22,000 units for some of the top sellers. I think people are like delusional. Like there were arcades everywhere in America and around the world. Look, I would love to know how successful a game like Ghostbusters was or Godzilla, but there is no way Stern is coming close to 22,000 units on a single skew or theme in pinball. And if they were, I would love for them to announce we just released the greatest selling pinball machine of all time. But I think a lot of people Now, the only way Stern could do it is if Stern was JJP and all they had was one game for two years, right? Imagine if Stern only made Godzilla for two years, then just maybe then, if that was the only game on the line and they forced all of us to buy it because nothing else was available, I think they could sell 22,000 Godzilla units. I think Stern's gonna turn it back on in August. I also am predicting this. I don't think Venom's gonna be like a take my money now kinda game for most of you. But I also think a lot of you are addicted to just buying the latest and the greatest. And I think this game is gonna be beautiful, right? Zombie Eddie doing comic book art, that's his like forte. I think if most of you listening right now really ask yourself, is Venom a dream theme of mine? Is Venom really a game I want to own? I think about 95% of you would say no to that. And I also think more than half of you don't really care about old James Bond. I mean, I'm just assuming this, but I think James Bond is also not another title that is like a take my money now kind of theme for most of you. I think stuff like Jaws, stuff like Back to the Future, and my gosh, if they made Top Gun, how much of a miss is that by this entire industry? Let's talk about that for 30 seconds. What a miss by this entire industry that nobody could figure out a way to get the Top Gun license. If anyone could get it, it's Stern and Joe Kamakow, but what a missed opportunity to create a Top Gun pinball machine. I know it's really hard getting Tom Antonio Cruz to give Now let's talk about JJP next. Okay so Toy Story is around the corner. I don't know when. I'm hearing the game is not on the line. And I've heard from someone who was inside JJP. And look, they could easily say, the next title is on the line. Notice how on like Zack Mennie's The Pinball Show, Zack said that like, he spoke to JJP. And nobody toured the factory. Okay maybe it wasn a factory tour but my guy was inside Jersey Jack Pinball And notice how Jersey Jack did not say he wrong The next game is on the line If the next game were on the line why can they just say that it is now June The Buzz Lightyear movie comes out in two weeks I am predicting that Jersey Jack pinball is going to miss that golden opportunity to show us toy story to coincide with the The release of the Buzz Lightyear movie. You know every other day I wake up and I forget that it's still Jersey Jack Pinball. That they always find new ways to mess this stuff up. That they can never seem to just get it right. This company is always hampered by delays. The fact that we haven't seen this game yet is kind of embarrassing. Guns and Roses came out in October of 2020. Why does it take them so long to get another Game going and so here's my prediction though all that being said all that being said here's my prediction Toy Story is gonna be a juggernaut hit Toy Story is going to be their greatest selling pinball machine ever Toy Story will outsell Anything Stern puts out this year Jersey Jack pinball will absolutely not be able to handle the volume of orders they get on Toy Story Toy Story is This week in Pinball, Franchiexpensiveperfectionist, J.J.P. is absolutely going to smother their production unit and they are not going to know how to deal with it. Thousandss of people are going to order Toy Story on day one and you're going to wait a really long time to get it because Jersey Jack Pinball can't do 400 games a week. They can do like 40 and so when they get 5,000 orders for Toy Story, do the math. AJP will run into the same problem as Guns N' Roses. They just don't have the labor. They don't have the staff to make enough games to fulfill the order and the demand for their product. So I fully expect this to be another GNR launch in which you're going to wait a while. I expect people who go in on the collector's editions not to get their games first. And I'm gonna predict this right now. And I think this is the wise prediction. I think these games are gonna have playfield issues. I do. They're using Mirko again. Mirko playfields have had issues on the last like five games. Why would I predict that on Toy Story they will have solved the problem? And I think what's gonna happen is the same thing that happened with Guns N' Roses. I think they're gonna make a handful of LEs, they're gonna send them out in the world, and those The initial buyers are going to start to see some playfield issues because I do not trust that Jersey Jack has made like 10 toy stories and has them being put through their paces. And I think this is the big problem because they want to keep it secret and they want to keep it private. I don't think they're quality testing these games the way they need to quality test them. And then what's going to happen? We're going to go down the same journey as Guns and Roses. They're going to say we're looking into it. We're going to fix the problem before we make the collector's edition. Then they're going to assure everybody that the problem has been solved and the collector's editions won't have the issue. And then they're going to make the collector's editions and they're going to have the issues. It's going to be the same story. And just like GNR, we're all still going to buy it because we have no option. If we want to enjoy these games and I think the game is going to be a masterpiece, we have no option other than to go in on a game with a Miracle Playfield. And so that is what I think I think they're going to have another game that is going to be marred by playfield issues. And everybody, I hope I am wrong. I hope if there's any prediction that I make this year that is incorrect, it is that Jersey Jack playfield issues will occur again. I hope I'm wrong. I hope that does not happen. And I will happily be the first one to stand up And give them an Orson Welles clap that they have figured out how to remove the art from the post areas. If they could just do that, they would give this little weasel Mirko a fighting shot at not having issues with the playfields. And we're not going to see another pin from Jersey Jack this year. We are not going to see Godfather this year. There is no way Jersey Jack Pinball is going to get two games out in a year. And they're definitely not going to get two games out in a year in which they're inundated with Toy Story orders. I just don't think you're ever going to see this company do two games in a year. I just don't. I don't think they know how to do it. I really don't. Alright, moving on from Jersey Jack Pinball is Chicago Gaming Company. And what kind of year do I think Chicago Gaming Company is going to have? Now look, CGC is a boring company in my eyes. And I'll tell you why CGC is a boring company. Because they showed Cactus Canyon remake like eight months ago everybody and they're still not shipping LEs. And I think this company's just kind of boring. This is the story of CGC. They make probably one of the best products in pinball. You will wait forever for it, but it's also not really a new game. So there's nothing about getting one that feels tremendously new. I get there's gonna be new code in Cactus Canyon remake, but I think people are forgetting This week in Pinball, Franchiexpensiveperfection, that Cactus Canyon needs a lot of new code because the game was always incomplete. This game never had great code like Monster Bash or Medieval Madness or Attack from Mars. Those three games have some of the best code in pinball. So even though this game is coming out and there's new code for it, they're just bringing it up to the normal standard we expect in a pinball machine. But other than that, Chicago GamingCompany, I don't think we're going to see Pulp Fiction this year. I don't think we're going to see Ben Heck's game this year. I think the only thing happening at Chicago Gaminging Company in 2022 will be Cactus Canyon remake. And then sometime in the fall they will reveal the new code for the machine, but they are going to be stuck building these Cactuscanyons. And look, they haven't taken money on Pulp Fiction, they haven't taken money on Ben Heck's game, but I think this company is like a company that moves through the mud. And.. The end of the week. I'm sorry everybody. I know that wasn't rust. It was weld points, but it doesn't look good. And I will say, you know, Chicago Gaming Company, you've made people wait this long. You gotta make sure these games look perfect and that doesn't look good. And so I'm a little bit worried that maybe their quality standards are decreasing and they are rushing some stuff out the door because no game should ship to a customer with like A game that looks that bad. All right, CGC Next on our list is Spooky Pinball. Spooky Pinball, you know, there's not much going on at spooky other than continued production of Ultraman and Halloween. The debate on whether these games are good or not continues to be fought with owners claiming the games are amazing and people who don't want the game saying the game sucks. The truth is probably somewhere in the middle. I think this is Spooky's best shooting game it is. You know it's easy to make a game shoot better because their other games were total brick fest. Like Rick and Morty is one of the worst shooting games and the other games are total brick fest and when you put a center ramp that's the size of a whale's you know what it's gonna shoot better than your older stuff. But look these two titles will never be able to overcome the launch feedback. I think both of these titles taught Spooky a lesson that they need to hire better programmers. I think the answer is somewhere in the middle. The games don't absolutely suck, but the games are not great either. These are just like C plus B minus games in my book. I think the demand for them indicates that. I think that these games will never overcome the perception people had when they launched. I think it's a lesson for Spooky to learn. If you're going to take people's money before showing them a game and you're going to make it a nonrefundable deposit, you then can't ship a game so I think Spooky's stock value in terms of the brand value, the brand perception, has been a deflating year for Spooky. Spooky, I think Spooky's stock value in terms of the brand value, the brand perception has been clobbered in 2022. I think most people out there are never going to buy another Spooky game sight unseen ever again with a non-refundable deposit. It's never going to happen. They traded in their goodwill card with these two games and they didn't hit it out of the park. I think they disappointed most people who went in on these games and had faith that these This games would be further along when they launched. For some reason in pinball people forget the old phrase, you never get a second chance to make a first impression or first impressions are everlasting. And I think pinball companies need to realize that. Like that matters. That matters with everything in life. There is no other product that we buy that we spend this much money on that we are willing to forgive so many glaring issues the day we unbox it brand new. So here what I think is going to happen next at Spooky Pinball They going to finish the run of these two games and then they going to go make more TNAs They going to make TNA 2 which is the same game just in a different cabinet and they going to probably make another like maybe 100 or 200 of those and then I think Spooky announces its next game sometime around TPF spring of 2023 All right, so let's keep going. American Pinball, American Pinball, David Fix at the helm, Dennis Nordman working on an original game. They just signed Ryan McQuaid and lost the sonic license to Stern pinball. What do I think 2022 has in store for American pinball? Let me be candid. I don't think this company has a winning strategy. I don't. I don't think this company has a vision. I don't think this company really knows what it's doing. I think people ran and bought Legends of Valhalla. I think half of them were bought by distributors. I don't think you're going to see distributors sell out of Legends of Valhalla. They're not going to make more than 500 Legends of Valhalla. That is it. They're only going to make that many. Nobody's going to order the standard edition of Legends of Valhalla. And I just think that game's going to be a blip. It's going to come and go and once again it's like the owners of the game will do everything in their power to convince us it's great and then I will look at that game and say this game is not even close to being as good as a Godzilla So why would I buy an $8,700 Legends of Valhalla that's not even close to being as good as a Godzilla pro that's $6,700? And if I'm American Pinball, that's the benchmark. Are we making a game better than a stern pro? I think it was a lazy business decision to put that game into production. If they did any market research, nobody really was clamoring for that title. I think Mukesh has given David Fix like a small amount of money to make this whole thing work. And this is what you get. You don't get any licensed themes. You don't get these big properties people really want. You don't know how to seal the deal with Sonic the Hedgehog and Sega. You get these things that are only targeting people that want something different. But that's a very, very, very small buyer base because you got to find someone who's not happy with what's happening at Stern or JJP. I think people are more interested in those four companies and by the time American Pinball becomes a consideration, it's really tough to find buyers. Now look, Dennis Nordman's game is everything. This is going to be the game that shows us is AP going to pack this game the way Houdini and Oktoberfest were packed. But are they going to create a game that's packed with fun stuff but in a theme we really want and with an art package that doesn't suck? Now look Christopher Franchi is doing the artwork so the art's going to be phenomenal. Dennis Nordman knows how to make a great game. Like he's an amazing designer. Elvira is one of Stern's best shooting pins. His old stuff at Bally Williams is incredible. So Dennis Nordman knows how to make a great pin. Christopher Franchi knows how to make a The question is what could go wrong? Well, I hope nothing goes wrong and I hope this game knocks it out of the park. But here's my prediction. I just don't think we're going to see it anytime soon. I don't think we're going to see this game in the fall. I don't think we're going to see this game in October. There's something about American pinball's inability to get these legends of Valhalla's made that makes me nervous. They're not going to be ready for this next game when they need to be. So my prediction is you are not going to see this American pinball game until 2023. Again, I hope I'm wrong because this is all we really want to see. Like I think this is another company that's just struggling with the labor force to make the games. What's the problem AP? You've already made enough games to be at a better point than you are right now. But that's my prediction. It's June. I don't think we're going to see Dennis Nordman's game until like January. Now again, I hope I'm wrong. I hope we see it in October. I don't think they're going to be able to stay on schedule and get the game on the line by Expo. But here's the thing. Maybe I should take that back. Here's what I think they're going to do. I bet you they show us the game at Expo, but it's not ready for the line. I bet they show you the game at Expo. I bet they take orders and then you're going to wait months for production to start because that's the new trend in pinball, right? Show a game and then don't ship it for six months. Like this is the New boutique approach to pinball. Let's lock your money in for six to eight months before you ever get your game. I don't think that's going to end. I think that's what they're going to do. I'm going to change my prediction. You will see the game by Pinball Expo and you won't even get it before TPF. That's Kaneda's prediction. Now, I don't know what theme it is. I would love to guess it's not Sherlock Holmes. It's not going to be Valkyrie. It's not going to be Poker Run. I really don't know. I have no idea. I don't even know So where Dennis Nordman wants to go with this? All I hope for is that it's something that is relatable and exciting to people. I just hope it's not obscure and I definitely hope it's not a sequel to one of Dennis Nordman's older games. Alright, Dutch Pinball. What's happening at Dutch Pinball these days? So look, they're getting big Lebowskis out. That's good news. The bad news is this. I was really disappointed to see a Dutch Pinball homecoming party being thrown at the factory. And let me explain why. Barry, you still owe people product that you sold them nine years ago. I have friends who are EAs that still don't have their game. Why are you spending money on a party to celebrate your factory? You shouldn't be spending a single penny on any party. You shouldn't be smiling like that ear to ear until you make every EA whole. I understand you're robbing Peter to pay Paul with your new business model. I understand your factory is up and running. I understand you're happy because this was what you always wanted eight years ago before you signed up with ARA and took your customer base down a nightmare journey. But why are you throwing a party? You don't need to sell more games. Coin takers got tons of orders waiting for you to make them. And I just don't like this look. Now here's my prediction though. I think Dutch Pinball is actually going to do it. I think they're going to sell enough Lebowski's. You know what the best thing to happen the Dutch Pinball was over all of these years? It's that nobody else in the boutique space even made anything close to being as good as Big Lebowski. Is that the Big Lebowski can still be put up next to any JJP machine and any Stern LE and still look more magical and still look like it has more in it. It is still the greatest world under glass pinball machine. I've seen since I've started covering pinball seven years ago and that's helped this game out. It's not like they were ahead of their time. They just put more passion and creativity into this game. And it's a good example of something. If you make a masterpiece and if you get really creative, that creativity is timeless. It doesn't get old. It doesn't age out like we don't get tired of the medieval madness. This week's topic is... How to play Pinball in Pinball Castle. We don't get tired of the toys from the Bally Williams era that are just so cool. True creativity will last the test of time. Cheap tricks and cutting corners and artwork and stuff like that, that will get old. When you really put innovation into it, it's going to hold up over time and I think that's why people still want this game. Because it doesn't look old. It doesn't look washed out. It still holds up next to everything new. So my prediction is that Dutch pinball will get to another game and then it gets really really interesting. I don't think they have the money to secure a great license. Here's what I think should happen in pinball. I think American pinball and Dutch pinball and the pinball brothers, I think those three companies should unite. I think they should form one pinball company. It would make total sense. You have manufacturing in America, the Netherlands, This Week in Pinball, Franchi), Franchi, Tanyo Klyce, tilt pendulum or tilt mechanism The brief was published a couple of time this 건데 rounds of freight as and How to get a pinball machine that looks like it's been around for a long time? I think if they're smart, they would revisit the art package on it. It just looks a little more home pin when it needs to look a little bit more Guns and Roses. Now, Queen is a huge band and Queen has a huge following. So a Queen pinball machine has an audience. It has a bigger audience than stuff even like Godzilla. You know, it has a much larger The game is a bit more interesting for a larger audience than stuff like Rush, but I don't know if that game is going to do Queen justice, so we shall see. But here's why I don't think they're going to revisit it, because they had all that time to redo the Alien art package. How much time they had to redo the playfield artwork that Oryk did that wasn't really any good. And the reason it wasn't any good is because Andrew Highway lied to Oryk. It wasn't even Oryk's fault. Andrew Highway told Oryk we can use an illustrator to make this pinball machine We can illustrate the artwork and that was a flat out lie So I hope they revisit Queen and they illustrate it properly Alright let go The only way you can get your money back is if your Weird Al shipdate that he gave you is missed by six months And all of you who went in on the game agreed to that. Jerry's problem is very simply this. He's stubborn and he doesn't have a labor force. He doesn't have people to make these games because he's never had orders. Like he's never had orders. I would love for Jerry to tell us how many total multi morphic machines has he built. We all know that he is probably making something like 50 to a hundred a year, which is only Two games a week. And in a world in which you're only making that many a year and you sell 227 weird al le's plus standard edition games, you're kind of screwed. Your company wasn't set up to make games with any volume. So what do you do? What do you do if you're Jerry? How do you hire labor to come in and make games? He also is situated like in the middle of nowhere, Texas. That's the other part people forget. The location of The history of Pinball Manufacturing determines your ability to find workers. Because a lot of people don't want to work or live in certain areas and it's hard to find talented people in certain parts of the country. You know Spooky is lucky because in Benton Wisconsin this is a family affair. Like Spooky's got everybody in the family working on this thing. Now Spooky's mistake, he hired a local animator to work on Halloween whose work is not good. He could have found an animator in France like JJP did. He could have found an animator in New York City. There are so many animators out there that blow away the animations in Halloween. But maybe you can't have happy hour with that animator every night. But that's what happened. They went local. And I think Jerry is really suffering on finding people to make these games. He's refused to show us what's going on with manufacturing other than a few photos, static photos of parts. And I think the wait for Weird Al is going to be tremendously long. But here's the other part. I don't think people who are buying a Weird Al, I don't think they care. And I also think Jerry will deliver. He will make every game. I'm not worried about Jerry making these games. He's got enough annuity from his P-Rock sales. He makes enough money on the side. He will get this done. So don't for a minute think that Jerry's not going to get it done. You're just going to wait a really long time. And I don't think we're going to see anything This Week in Pinball, Franchi), Franchi, Tanyo Klyce, tilt pendulum or tilt mechanism I know people who have seen the game and they said it looks like crap. Now look, Home Pin is a company that I will always rag on because Thunderbirds was terrible, arguably one of the worst pinball machines that has come out since I've been covering pinball, and I think he's stalling. And it's going to be funny, man. I just can't wait for him to show us how he's incorporating an LCD screen on the backbox with an orange DMD below it. This game is going The game we all know will be the laughing stock of pinball in 2022. The only other game that we'll laugh at more is the Punny Factory game from Pinball Adventures. I know, I mean, look, that's next on my list. Pinball Adventures, they're making a handful of these Punnyfactory games. Look, they're not meant for hardcore pinball people. I don't even take it seriously. I know Andrew's working on this game and like, look, I'm just going to cut them some slack and say I don't think they're trying to compete with anybody. I don't really know who their target is, but I'm not going to give them too much airtime other than I don't think anyone cares. I don't think anyone cares whatsoever about this punny factory game. Alright, two more. Ketzel Pinball with their Super Hoops game. Other than the fact that they're making these games, I'm just not seeing many people buy it. Our friend Sengiz got one, but I haven't seen anybody unbox this game. Now it's interesting because we saw the factory with all of those Super Hoops lined up. Where are they going? Like who's getting them? You know, look, I'm glad that they're making these games. It's nice to have a company out there that actually just quietly made a game. Right? There was no fanfare. There was no preorder dollars. They just reveal the game as it was being made. And that's the way it should be done. Let's end this with last but certainly not least my favorite topic recently Haggis Pinball. Talk about a company that didn't reveal it when the game was ready to be made. So here's my prediction for Haggis Pinball. I think everyone who orders a fathom is going to get one. I want to start there. I want I'm going to start with the good news. The good news is if you order this game, you are going to get one. The other thing is this is one of the most beautiful pinball machines I think we've ever seen. The quality and the attention to detail is second to none. Now the bad news, you're going to wait forever to get one. They are trickling out. Damien's another one who's going to suffer because of labor issues. They don't have people. They don't have enough staff. I was in this big factory without a plan and now he's sort of in there. I bet they're in there every day. Like four or five of them are in there every day. Just struggling to figure out how to most efficiently make these games. When we saw the picture of those eight machines in that room, that was a red flag. That room was too small to have eight machines being I think it's going to be a slow, slow burn. You're going to get your game, but Haggis Pinball is going to lose money on every single fathom they make. When I saw the video that was posted by Alex Moss, it's a beautiful game. The first thing I thought about was this. This company stupidly underpriced their own product. These games are going to sell for $15,000 on the second hand market. Damien and Marty and company won't see a penny of that $6,000 over sticker. They won't see a penny of it. And they easily could have charged $13,000 per machine like the big Lebowski and they easily could have The game was sold at $250 at that price point especially now that people are seeing the quality and the attention to detail. The mistake they made was they wanted to sell out of their allotment before they had the game on the line. But now that the game is real and it's in someone's home, if they had simply figured The What I Do Is To Get That Machine In A Timely Manner So You Can Make Your Own Your Own Pinball You Can Make Your Own Pinball Machine And If This Week in Pinball, Franchiuckland Franchi, Tanyo Klyce, tilt pendulum or tilt mechanismbrance, I do. I just think he's going to look at his balance sheet and be like, what did I do? I should have just made playfields for all these companies that were indestructible and I would have been a millionaire in this industry. Now I'm losing six figures making this beautiful game that everyone's going to flip for a profit, but I'm not going to see that profit. I think that's what's going to happen, everybody.
