maybe do a seperate channel for this kind of content? i like the tournament stuff but seeing a face in the the thumbnails instead of action, more clickbaity looking thumbs,meh. there's enough contentlike this and you're better than this, man. thanks for all you do. love the tournament stuff.

pre-orders to fund production is essentially a Ponzi scheme waiting to happen. I do not think I've ever seen a pre-order funding system work out in any of the hobbies I've been involved in. They all run out of money eventually and then lose the ability to take more pre-orders since they get exposed.

Thanks for the time code for eatch machine!

Hey your boy Travis works for the pinball company right? Fun house wants a pre order . Is that overseas company gonna fold up too.

The problem is that you have new businesses trying to follow an established business model and they don’t start on the right foot with investments and loans. Instead, they try and start with nothing and end up building a pyramid scheme.

Can’t wait to see if my friend ever gets his Ninja Eclipse… 😕

I suspect that a good portion of people who engage in pre-orders are ignorant of what they are participating in and/or lack the integrity to accept the consequences. Best to teach them the terms they were/are engaging in for each manufacturer.

haggis filed bankruptcy and no longer exist

No preorders for me. We are willing to put down a deposit when needed, but only because we know Zach has our back. We did it with Labyrinth. Did the same thing with TBL, but only after Cointaker said they would refund the deposit if the company didn't follow through. I get the excitement, but pinball machines are $$$, and you have to be careful. Great video, and hopefully, people proceed with caution.

Bummer

I wouldn’t even get a nib anymore as it’s complete Russian roulette on what’s inside especially the playfield. I just buy demo models that I can inspect

But they still haven’t broken that oath on the tron le lol

I feel like the logistics of Pinball Manufacturing are incredibly hard. Rolling out new engineering design, software, hardware, and brand deals on a somewhat regular cadence to produce to a relatively niche consumer (can afford machines and willing to spend on them) is tough. I feel as if the market is already saturated with the big ~4, and they subsequently will take big financial hits if/when their new games don’t do well. A hard reality for a hobby that fosters so much passion; as I’m sure many players would love to go on and design their own machine.

These new pinball businesses asking for money for pre orders never sat right with me.

Very interesting subject Tom. The problem is that most companies that went bankrupt thought that producing games was an easy task and that they could do better than the one and only remaining company in the early 2000s, Stern Pinball. Even for JJP, if he had not had financial backing at the right time, the company would have folded like so many others. Marketing and producing are two different ball games and producing is far from being the easiest one as experience has shown. With the revival of pinball, a lot of entrepreneurs, or wannabe entrepreneurs, identified a demand, and like in many businesses only the fittest (most funded in that case) will survive. The only time I put a deposit on something that was not "manufactured" yet was the Kickstarter project "Keeping the Ball Alive" book. 🤣

Didn't you guys discuss Haggis Pinball on Triple Drain almost two years ago for the same reason? Or maybe you all were just predicting it lol.

why the haggis as failed

jackbot

"When are we gonna stop preordering games?" Still preorders Stern's LE tables.

Spooky "makes them well" yet I haven't seen a single Spooky on location that isn't constantly breaking down. Spooky makes House Use Only pins

In this market there’s absolutely no reason to preorder anything except maybe a BTTF .

25:00 Tom's definitely high on _something._ 😂🤣

Give New England its respect and call it a Wicked Shimmy 🦞

Hey Tom. Love this format of vids you've been doing. Also, really digging the new logo :)

On Mousin' Around, get skill shot to increase jackpot. Keep hitting either ramp collecting cheese until jackpot hits $5M. Then trap balls and go for jackpot. If you can 2x on same multiball, that's $10M

kids comment voice?

I love you Tom :) without any but…., you are a free human beeing, so choose the voice you feel :):) …for me the most important thing is that „Tom talks“ (…miss that sample a lot ) Cheers

Most of the time when the ball drains, it's the game's fault, but that lazarus was on you and you should've saved it but you screwed it up.

I love you Tom, but 45 minutes of leprechaun voice was about enough for me. I'll see ya in the next one, hopefully you're less excited about voice mods by then.
