It's like an LE version of a Zizzle...or one of those Costco Sterns. But they are still asking the price of a Pro Stern machine. At least Spooky is keeping the doors open with these types of projects...

Distributors and retailers always swear that there is a big segment of their clientele that aren't "hobbiests" or "collectors"--they just want a pinball machine for their basement or mancave. This machine is made for that exact mystery demographic...thus it should tell us if that demographic exists.

Never heard of "the pinball company" before, but it looks like they're a retailer?

Anyway, that game looks really simplistic. The theme is fun, the art is good, and you could do some interesting stuff with the LCD and callouts, but that playfield layout doesn't have much going for it. I just don't see 6-7k worth of game there.

I also think the theme is good and the art is really colorful and fun. However, I have to agree with others, the layout looks simplistic and somewhat limiting in variety of shots. It's too bad as my family would have been all over this theme.

As much as I liked the Jetsons as a kid, this would not be where I would be putting 7-8K if I were in the market for a new pin. I looks very plain and simple, must be the geriatric edition. It does have faithful artwork and lots of potential for mods/upgrades. But why?

As everyone seems to have already stated, but I'll agree with, it looks nicely done but the playfield is too sparse and simplistic for what they are asking. The LCD looks nice, great artwork, and the theme is good. I'm sure they'll sell just not sure to who.

Woah...news! Charlie at Spooky came out and said there will be a few more as of yet unseen "things" that would be added to this machine, thanks to the Pinball Company loosening the BOM reigns a little bit. And the first 250 games would be a flat $5999USD with no increasing price ladder as first announced. That's some pinball goodwill--something other pinball companies could learn from...
