This is the distros they have listed ……. thus far
To me this looks AMAZING.... I'm not a Bowie fan (alternative back glass please) but this was one of my favourite films growing up and it looks like they have really done it justice.
Reminds me of JJP when they first revealed WOZ, threw everything at it and made a proper world under glass.
Just need to convince the Mrs who is very much in the 'this is just another obscure niche old fim' way of thinking.... no it not, to me at least, this is one of those films that has a little bit of magic about it.

Yeah he wouldn't have lasted long though
That's what people are saying, and would make sense in terms of the reveal timings. A few of us are going to be there - I get there on the Wednesday, vendor setup day, which I think means no public. I'm doing a talk on the final day so I have a boss-level backstage pass, so I'm hoping I might be able to get a few cheeky games in on the Wednesday before every man and their dog tweets about it.

Argh my bad … I hear there’s going to be something to make the pinball world rock at expo and I can’t see it being Elton … only thing that would shake things up would be Dutch with bttf now that would be interesting
That's certainly what I'm hoping for!
Was so impressed with TBL this week, if they do BTTF that would be a massive score for them as a company, and us who want a packed game.
JJP must be sweatin

It would be wonderful … I heard there next game was ready to go let’s see
Centaur and Fathom are pretty-much identical to the originals, but with extra rules for the luxury models. Having played an original Fathom, watched the remake video, and currently working on a full resto of an Alien Poker (which I’m hoping will eventually include new code), I don‘t think Haggis have made sensitive additions. Too much TNA-esque strobe lighting and inappropriate music, etc. on what’s quite a chilled pin.
I own a TNA CE. I had a pre-order/waitlist for two years. I also own an actual flatbed classic (Alien Poker) to which - after a playfield swap - I’m hoping to code a topper with a new ruleset inspired by The Beatles. But, no, absolutely hate single-level pins - completely hate ’em
As @stumblor points out, GZ is not a two-hour game for most players. PBR hosts some of the UK’s best players for Thursday night league and the median walk-up score is 19 million. The non-sucky scores on GZ at the UK Open, which was a major international event attracting players from the US and Europe, started around 40 million. That’s literally shoot two ramps, start Titanosaurus at the scoop, hit a couple of stand-up targets - five shots, five minutes.
To be playing two-hour games, you’ve got to be either Paul Englert, set up your GZ VERY easy, or else film a LOT of games and pick the best one. Generally, the ’long’ games for home players are stuff like CGC Cactus Canyon, Elvira HOH, The Big Lebowski, a few of the JJPs, or Deadpool where I have got to the second rank of monsters on a casual walk-up game. And, you’ll note, most of these are very popular/well loved and most are not by Stern.
And now we can return to our regular scheduled squeeing over the Labyrinth pin.
Not a theme for me but I think this looks great. Really exciting to see a new company enter the market like this with a machine ready to go. Love how they're using the screen at the back of the playfield. Looking forward to seeing gameplay and curious to see what they do next.
For what it's worth, my Lebowski was the eighth off the line at ARA and I took delivery back in 2016. There were a few teething issues with the machine but since those were sorted it's been one of my most reliable games.
I wouldn't be so sure about that. It sounds like loads of PF have been ordered by people over here, and I'd put money on them outnumbering Labyrinths in the UK by a considerable margin. This means that PF will inevitably end up on the secondary market more frequently, which in turn tends to drive the price down as over time everyone who is interested has had one. Look at what is happening with Godzilla now - they're getting harder to shift because there are so many of them around so prices are dropping.
If Labyrinth turns out to be good and not that many are sold over here I'd hazard a guess that it will hold it's value better than PF.

It doesn't even have to be good if its scarce... look at Pirates!

I forgot you had one of those (decent original game) but that's the impression I got
Yeah they should outnumber by far of course. Agree it could go like that 100% but can go other ways where it's a keeper. I don't think you'll see them every week for sale though.
Away to watch Labyrinth now via Netflix. Let you know how I get on!
You’ll be joining a plethora of peeps on Pinside who haven’t seen it before pondering on their purchase decision
JJP Pirates is a good example of what I was talking about - but I bought mine NIB and love it. Definitely not worth what it sells for in the States though!
Careful you don't choose Pan's Labyrinth, that's the better one.
Can you and Veemunroe send him a photo for the sculpts for this mod? - I’d pay top dollar to replace my trolls on my MM with sculpts of you two!
A heck of a lot of imagination went into this movie. Had to stop it a few times as my son is too young to watch this..two thirds thru!
It’s way better than I thought it would be. Crickey they don’t make movies like this anymore..
I was going to take a crack at it with my kids - how old is your boy Kenny?
Would probably prefer Dark Crystal but that is waaay scarier.
Eddie (12) and I watched Coraline last night. What a cracker that movie is.
Well, I for one am genuinely excited about this - but then, I'm a huge Bowie fan.
Only an actual themed Bowie pin would be better

Thank god!
