Classic Edition: ~$7,360 USD | $9,500 AUD
Mermaid Edition: ~$8,900 USD | $11,500 AUD

that's approx $9200 CAD and $11,300 CAD respectively!!!

 

[dr.nybble]

False. Shipping is from Planetary Pinball in Nevada. (Still not liable to be cheap for Canadians, but maybe Nitro will sell.)

 

[luch]

i stand corrected

 

[dr.nybble]

I'd rather have Alien at $8195 USD shipped!

 

[Saltimbanco]

I'd rather have Alien at $8195 USD shipped!

About 20k USD and you can have both! Or you could have gone for that Tron LE for an extra 5k USD!

 

[Extraballingtmc]

Free shipping to planetary but you on your own from there. Be damn expensive to get these into Canada.

 

[Saltimbanco]

Based on the comments made by Haggis in their latest vid, there was lots of interest. Anyone know if they sold out all their allocated pre-order deposits for the Mermaid edition (250 games)?

 

[Extraballingtmc]

Not sure if mermaids sold out but must be close.

 

[Saltimbanco]

Reading into everything, and based on what a serious amount of money it is for a remake, I would only consider the Mermaid myself.. but wow, what a beautiful game, regardless of the version!

Dunno too, too much about Haggis, but watching their vids made me think those guys are passionate about doing makeovers of games they really love.

I'm looking forward about seeing more reviews of some actual gameplay once (if) they're built.

Looks beautiful, sounds good, but I’d be scared to give a new company my money, we’ve seen this movie too many times already.

You are right about that one. If it was a local company, I would be less hesitant. Wondering why there's no interest here to get into the pinball bandwagon?! (E.g. a start-up right here in Canada)

 

[Dave Astill]

Look at deeproot , its not an easy thing to do.

 

[Quatermass]

Unfortunately the only Canadian pinball company I know of right now is Pinball Adventures. They’re the ones behind ‘Punny Factory’...

I’ve always thought CPR should give it a go, especially now that they have their custom shop. But Dave’s right; it’s not easy. Deeproot is a great example. You need really deep pockets and considerable manufacturing experience.

 

[Honey Badger]

Doesn’t surprise me that we don’t have a Pinball manufacturing company in Canada when we can’t even manufacture vaccines!

 

[Saltimbanco]

Doesn’t surprise me that we don’t have a Pinball manufacturing company in Canada when we can’t even manufacture vaccines!

Probably pinball manufacturing would absolutely be a better fit for us anyway, requires a custom built approach and materials we have plenty of. Plus, we do have a huge gaming industry (software) and a deep rooted pinball history (no pun intended with Deeproots, lol).

 

[MrMikeman]

FYI If anyone is interested, Nitro Pinball is the Cdn shipper for these and they still have a few Mermaid editions left (on the Nitro site). Our southern neighbors have noticed and are looking into buying the remaining few..

 

[GhostedPINBALL]

What am I missing!!!

I see an old game with no modern code, or dmd to have unique modes. I think I am bored in under an hour. Where is the excitement in spending so much for so little compared to a new Stern of JJP?

 

[SuperPinball]

I guess you just don't get it then.

 

[GhostedPINBALL]

I don' t disagree, I don't get it or the excitement for this pin. I like the blue colour but beyond that I yawn....
