Notable quotes
“The limited edition will be in production next week. The pro model will be available in late September into October and the premium will be mid-October, late October.”
“They're going to make 811 limited editions. That's a very weird number. Why 811? I don't know.”
“It's based on the comic books. So I don't know. I mean, there's not a whole lot to go on.”
“The one thing that I'm kind of noticing about it is it looks like he [Sentinel] has a curved head. So I don't know how the ball would roll over it unless when it's down, it's fully flush.”
“Jersey Jack makes beautiful-looking games, so I'm sure it will look great [Avatar]. But I guess that'll be one that I probably, along with a bunch of other people, will check out at Pinball Expo.”
“The speaker lights are cool and i'm wondering on this x-men on the le and maybe even potentially the pro and the premium are they going to have expression lights by default on the le because that's what seems it seems like starting to doing that on all their on like their newer machines now”
“My distributor is game room goodies aaron over at game room goodies really good dude...the fact that he already sold five or has people signed up for five is pretty crazy”
“I am now an operator because my big Buckhunter Reloaded, my big Buckhunter Reloaded is on location at Electric Bat.”
