Looks pretty lame now they took the main toy out. The only thing going for it is the display mounted in the pf  !@#

thanks for the update, the game is looking good and now has been turned into a wide body pin which is interesting as if the main cabinet is wide body then potentially all future drop in playfields have the potential of being a wide body as well.

There are no distributors, they are dealing with Joe Public and shipping direct.

Andrew is trying to find an appropriate distributor as he wants to set up a spares base as well here in Aus.

Cheers swinks.

Thanks for the info.

Makes good economic sense to have a local parts base.

here is a thought for customers and distributors...

what if once you have a Heighway Pinball game / cabinet and when the next game comes out you could hire a drop in playfield to try before you buy system but maybe as a pickup and drop off deal (keep costs and risk of damage down). The hiring aids in covering some of the business costs and greatly reduces the cost for the customer to see if they really want the game....with maybe the hire fee coming off the purchase price if you go ahead with a purchase. Could see this being great for arcades as well rotating playfields on a hire basis.

It recently came out that Heighway 's first production run was 251 Bacardi machines in which all ave been delivered but very little known. Rumour is it is a 2 player machine and this could be it.

agree with pete and gav if it is fun, something different then more the better.

still seems to have 2 pinball plungers (2 player) and like a roulette thing.

Apparently it was a contract job with them to be distributed around the globe with approx 130 going to the US

 the video refers to to it as a Baffle Ball. from watching the video multiple times it seems like the ball starts on your side and then rotates in a figure 8 pattern and then maybe drops to one players side or the other  !@#
