Really no cameras and away from the general public seen by select few?

apparently a empty cabinet (hopefully a playfield) to go on secret show in a back room, no cameras at pinfest....

..Then why bother?

Because it has been three years
Paid up buyers would like to see more than just generic assemblies

Still confused by this... Pete, you're saying that paid up buyers want to see more but in order to do this they have to travel to Newcastle and enter a private room?

It would be funny if it all wasn't taken so seriously

No cameras and a private room must mean a free lap dance for the pre orders.

Ewwwwwww

You have been warned!

I hope it goes through a lot of revisions as looks very basic and does not match the proposed backbox side art with the glow panels.

It has all the right elements, but they are placed badly

I would agree with that, but in addition the art needs to be more professional looking (especially the ocean, as it looks terrible) and instead of the lighting bolt glow panels on the back box, if they incorporated the TAG rocket to shoot up to space, maybe a moon and homepin logo on the moon or something and have the stars, rocket exhaust and moon / logo flash and glow it would look better to link the cabinet and backbox art together better.

 Cabinet art is a shocker-no other way to politely describe it

It seems strange that the title of the game is Thunderbirds are Go" but the artwork only has "Thunderbirds"

I'm calling BS on the art release, it's just too amateurish to be the real deal
