JJP GNR Pinball

Well they're probably my second or third favourite band so the theme is nailed on. The lights, guitar necks, drum sticks & cymbals look amazing.

It's just the shots & flow that are left but I've almost purchased it 4 times today and have arranged a backup source just in case Phil confirms that all his allocation have sold out whilst I'm dithering. 😂

On a serious note the copyright music is definitely going to be an issue for people making YT videos. Sometimes they just block the video altogether but I'm hopeful that someone will get something up.

you may not be a fan of Cary Hardy but he kinda does a decent breakdown on shots, ramp returns and divertors to me they have nailed it.
Carey is not not a fan of the band and doesnt even know the members names (slash aside) and it was quite funny when he said Duff the drummer lol. I have seen Velvet Revolver twice before Scott Weiland quit life and Duff is quite an acomplished dude in his own right. oops side tracked again.

anyhoo crux of the story is by the end of the stream he had talked himself into an LE regardless of the theme and must have spoke to Neil as he used the excuse the wife likes them :rofl:
 
Oh my god, just caught up on the GnR release and watched the SDTM stream. I always promised the wife that I wouldn't buy another NIB but if the CE's hadnt sold out I'd be that close to buying one :cuckoo:. Never owned a JJP machine yet either.

Anyway, looking forward to playing one and hopefully owning one one day. @tyke any chance of an invite to play yours :wave:

Of course matey, I’ll give you a shout when the big day comes :)
 
Any indications of which models are already made and which are on the line? I think its bad marketing that the people who buy the most expensive models tend to have to wait the longest for JJP games and although that helps with ironing out QC issues, the bragging rights of having the latest game before everyone else can't be overstated.

Ha yeah I'm terrible for this. I've had games last days before now. That said Jurassic Park is so good and I'm not sure I could let it go quite yet...!

anyone so keen to get in on gnr that they’ll let JP go for silly cheap money? [emoji23][emoji23][emoji23]

@huggers - I’ve had a Dialed In, the screen, the build
IMO was amazing, my opinion of course. The theme didn’t work too well for me but a solid game. I wanted GNR, I wanted standard body, I just don’t have the money for it...

Is anyone in on a standard edition? 😔😔😔

I'd be happy with a standard edition if I was after one but I'd really have to see both being played for a proper comparison.

EDIT: Although looking at the playfield comparisons I'd definitely need to see them close up, seems to be a fair few things missing from the standard edition.

I really want an LE but I just don't have the room. Don't want to part with any of my machines. My only hope is if the local arcade will take 1 off my hands but they will have to hold onto it for ....... forever 💩💩💩

That’s what’s happening over on pinside, I’ve never seen so many games listed on the market over there in the space of 24hours!

JP may well be the best game I've played. I fully expect Andy to be really happy with it. He's played it here twice anyway so knew what he was getting.

It's a ridiculous hobby really, I've just sold a fantastic machine which I loved and had no faults in order to buy something else which may or may not be as good. 😂
 
JP 2 is good but GNR JJP is better even though I don't know how it shoots. JM is better than JP but not as good as GNR JJP even though I don't know how it shoots but JP is better than JY but not as good as GNR JJP even though I don't know how it shoots. My mate John is better than my other mate Jay but not as good as GNR JJP even though I don't know how it shoots. My escort Jane is better than my other escort Julie but not as good as GNR JJP even though I don't know how it shoots.
 
Not even posted it yet, but this post is better than the last post, but not better than GNR JJP

Thing is mate life's too short. Better to play and own as many as possible if you enjoy it. I rarely get attached to any of my games. Jurassic Park though will be a tough one to let go. Unless JJP or whoever cook up an epic Back to the Future or something... That could force my hand. What's funny about new game hype is how quickly it can fade. A month or so ago Turtle power was making a comeback. Then Elwins Avengers. Now GnR had stolen all the limelight. We're all absolute children, I love it!

Nuts...

JP2 is easily my favourite game of all time... Closely followed by BM66 and GOT

I've got my name on friends JP2 LE if he ever decides to move it on... It is a machine I could easily envision owning until my dying days

I've pulled a trigger on an Avengers LE for Tilt because its an Elwin Game and theme i love... And once its done at Tilt i'll buy it from the business

GnR looks amazing, can't wait to play it and make a decision on it

I was half tempted by the LE that's for sale on here at the moment for 6k. JJPs other stuff doesn't appeal to me much but Dialed In kinda does. Despite the Sim City crossed with teenages phone, emoji-fest selfie vibes.

I wasnt putting JP down just underlining how much the hype train has generated crazy decisions.

On a side note and Elwins games I own IMDN prem I bought NIB from Phil and find the game very frustrating and clunky so it will be for the chop soon this is due the fact im not a good enough player to shoot the pin well, forever missing the ramp between the pops, struggling with combos and maddning drains as it likes to be shot stright up and down to achieve a decent score. to do this I stay away from the right upper flipper which is a shame as I like hitting the the loop shot off it.

JP to me felt the same in a different way with the jeep forever getting in the way and other hard to hit shots made it soooo annoying and it done my tits in. But that doesnt mean its a crap pin but just needs a higher skill set than me and goes to prove pins are marmite, one mans meat ect ect.

I kinda try to stay away from crazy math multiplier games with super skilled layouts built by pinball gods and prefer the simpler mode based stuff that can still have deep rules but not need a degree to understand like GOTG for example.
one thing is for sure JJP nailed their reveal whereas stern make me fall asleeep in bed everytime I watch em so hopefully they have a lesson learned and also stop cutting costs to give us a little more world under glass.

All that aside im really keen to play AIW when it lands as the layout looks ace I only hope it shoots well in same way I hope GnR does too.

BTW this is the 1st year I have missed my Tilt pilgrimage due to this madness as we all locked down up here

I was on the fence with JJP, DI gets a lot of play here and not had any real issues yet. It’s a hard game though with the sim shot and some sdtm’s from the theatre.
Grandkids just left here. Time for some beer and pinball now😁

Superb mate, my little nephews like a blast on my pins. One of them is freakishly good as well, let's the ball bounce across the flippers and tries little catches and all sorts, pro in the making!
 
My only worry with jam packed games like GnR is the more gadgets and gizmos it has, the more there is to go wrong. You only need one little thing to not be working as it should to ruin the whole game. Hopefully they have learned their lessons from the past but I'd be a little nervous owning the first games out the door from any manufacturer.

I'm happy for others to be the first on the block to own it and if I still like the look of it in 6/12 months time I'd definitely be interested in owning one, it does look fantastic.
