Yeah, I think the jungle theme should have been the way to go and then blend that into New York. The neons just don’t work.

Again not really a theme for me to have at home. LE has a bit of the wow factor but Dune is head and shoulders a more premium game.. Stern desperately need spike 3..
Like the look of the game and the shots but this looks one where you have to go premium. If there's one model you don't want static it's King Kong. The moving one is impressive.
I agree, from what I can see, the gong is missing and perhaps the train too? I'm just wating the featurette now.

Guessing it'll be months away but I can't wait!
in the 70s 80s there was a Kong in Birmigham Bullring. Noone really knew why but it was great!
B&W version released already?

A replica of that was back in like 2022 for a while in the Jewellery Quarter + there was a smaller (yellow one) at the Custard Factory directly opposite my office window.

Like the theme, its always instant fomo, I sat watching it and was I might have a pro of that in 2027, as I have others I want to get first.
I wasnt surprised to see the train disappear but hoped the spider would remain, hopefully someone does replacement mods otherwise it might be a bit empty.

Thought that only existed in the Beano.

Nah, the Custard Factory is a real thing. It is, or was, the site of the Birds Custard Factory. Now it is like a kind of creative quarter and is full of creative businesses, bars etc. About 10 mins walk from Tilt in the centre.
Marked safe from the FOMO.
Will look forward to playing one. Pro is disappointing after how good UXM and D&D Pro's have been.
+1 that spider

What was the price of the LE this time?
£15695
Ta. Sold out on Pinball Heaven website so still room to increase the price further.
Bladdy hell they sold out? Cripes.
Only a minor niggle, but do they still really need reference numbers on all the plastics and decals? Other companies don't do it do they?
Seriously impressed with this game, normally bored of streams in minutes but there is so much going on with kong!

Watched the gameplay stream and still torn on it
On one hand it looks to shoot and flow great then at times found myself a little bored
And drifting in/out of watching it
Like the chasm/saving sailors looping shots with flipper and the deadeye mode
Definitely need to play this in person

Only 20 minutes in but they haven't talked very much at all yet. I think not explaining the rules or what's going on makes it less engaging. Hopefully get a bit more commentary in the rest of the stream.
