Nucore Licensing Announcement!!!
« on: March 07, 2009, 01:33:17 AM »
Gentlemen, you heard it here first:

The Big Guys Pinball team is pleased to announce that a licensing agreement for Nucore has been finalized. WMS Gaming Inc. approved a licensing agreement between Big Guys Pinball, Illinois Pinball Corporation and The Pinball Factory. This agreement will allow Big Guys Pinball to market and sell Nucore worldwide. Nucore will be exclusively distributed by Pinball Life of Huntley, Illinois. Big Guys Pinball will be releasing Nucore pricing and component details in early March. Visit http://www.bigguyspinball.com/community for more details.

Please feel free to ask any and all questions.

What a great day! P2K gets to live well beyond what was otherwise likely. Congratulations Chuck on securing all of the licensing requirements for this - I suspect it was a minefield. 

I think the price for a RFM or SWE1 just went up!

So - have you contacted Pat, and when can he get started on WB?   :D

I spoke to a lot of the pinball 2000 team but never had the chance to speak to Pat. We had to leave Expo on Saturday last year and I just missed him :p I did send him a few emails though.

All I can say right now is anyone who could *possibly* do wizard blocks supports our endeavor.  That fact is yet another very important step to making wizard blocks a possible reality.

With that Chuck, you just made the biggest pinball statement in ten years mate!

Excellent news chuck well done. Now I'm all set to go on this mate. I've got the swep1 and just today a rfm, so I'm in your hands wainting for the next installment in pin2000. Would like a full on pinney parlour with only two cabinets!
