Title: Kingpin Translite - Signed Mark Ritchie and artist Stan Fukuoka
Post by: Strangeways on July 10, 2018, 10:34:43 PM: Kingpin translite signed by game designer Mark Ritchie and artist Stan Fukuoka. These are hand signed and numbered in a limited run..

By purchasing a translite you also will be one of the first to be offered any production games! The lower the translite number, the earlier you will be able to purchase any production games.

We priced them the same as the exchange rate, so that the funds are for the project and not for our profit. Kinda worked, as a few sold overnight !

Awesome - That would be your production number should you wish to purchase once we have the green light.

Post by: pinnies4me on July 11, 2018, 11:39:45 PM: There were no rights other than a trademark on the word "kingpin" as it applied to pinball.

Post by: tonyt on July 11, 2018, 11:52:42 PM: Sorry Nick, my bad. From the email today

"We have entered into an agreement with PPS to acquire the Kingpin Trademark along with receiving access to any additional resources/assets that PPS may have regarding Kingpin."

Post by: pinnies4me on July 12, 2018, 08:28:22 AM: Just about everyone thought PPS had "the rights" Tony. It was repeated constantly on pinside that PPS had "the rights". As far as I know, PPS never replied with commentary either way on that. I had spoken with Greg years ago when I started collecting parts for mine, and he believed Gene had no rights to start with. So I ignored any risk of some rights owner having a go at me and nothing happened. I was aware of the trademark - I actually thought it had expired.
