Thunderbirds - Homepin

I forgot about the balls.  For once me being slack paid off.  By the time I was ready to buy they were sold out or something and then never became available again.

then look at the service or lack of, imagine a whole machine - no thanks

a proto was shown at a US show over the weekend, with ball search issues, balls caught up in odd places and a few few posted thoughts - basically average and then down the scale.
interesting a kiwi hand a proto in his possession for a few months and when asked his thoughts on the game, he responds - guessing he not wanting to damage relationships with Mike but he is not a fan of the game

artist announced himself as Mike liked to keep things hush hush, a known pinsider for doing the art who is from Portugal, though very early days the art was going to be done by Mike's son

also as more info comes out Thunderbirds is not so Australian designed
- art done by a pinsider in Portugal- parts copied and made by Chinese in China- possible playfield design by Jpop (USA), of at least one version- copied Ben Hecks (USA) boardsets design structure and software- final programming who knows?- final game design who knows?- sounds and music who knows?
- made in China by 90-95% Chinese

Looks like you might get your machine soon Pete. I was just looking at the latest video on the Facebook page, there seems to be a bunch of machines almost ready to go.

A mate read a classic on pinside yesterday that made me laugh. The yank wrote he thought tbag was a terrible game.  An aussie wiredoug that usually defends mike wrote back 'terrible compared to what,  ie.  Gilligans island is terrible compared to medieval madness'.  The yank replied tbag is terrible compared to gilligans island  .


Bet he wasn't expecting that

I concur. Love Gilligans. Usually people who don't like it, have never played one. I had never even seen a Popeye until 3 weeks ago. I have one now and I LOVE it.

The game wont be that bad, it cant be. There are very few games that really stink.
The pool opening up for multiball is a cool feature but whether the play flows or not is often down to the player and apparently it has no depth but neither does Judge Dredd and plenty of people love that pin.
Final opinion will come when I play it but I can think of a few Stern games that I consider a complete waste of energy.. Transformers is one that springs to mind.. Batman dark Knight I walked away from after I found I just couldn't lose the bloody ball and got bored.
Its a pinball machine and to many that's enough to warrant desirablility... so many new people to the hobby these days, you see them posting on the FB pages with issues that really they should be able to sort through by themselves.
Damn.. there are even people who collect Playmatic and Recel games!
I recently had an online discussion with someone who thought Mustang ( Quick Draw) was a belter of a game even with its serious design flaw of having a single drop centre playfield that almost guarantees SDTM.. speaking of which.. you can add GTB's 300 ( Top Score) to that list which is the only game ive ever owned where repeatedly I could flip 5 balls and not get to touch one of them with a flipper due to the damn centre PF spinner!
