Notable quotes
“We're going from the space that I have now into a new factory that's about four times the size. And as part of that, I'll be bringing on a lot larger complement of staff to push through the manufacturing of these games.”
“We are doing two versions of the game. So we have a Mermaid Edition, which is basically our LE version... full RGB seven-segment displays in the back box, which I believe is a first for a commercial pinball machine.”
“The deposits that people put down literally go to the manufacturing of their games... We do ask for a $1,500 Australian non-refundable deposit.”
“Get out of my lake or ocean or whatever she said.”
“They've got this indestructible play field. You get all new parts... and you also get the option of an LE package or a mermaid package... where you get a brand new rule set... This is something that CGC has not latched onto that people have been screaming from the rooftops.”
“I think this is the right choice... on the secondary market, this is still heralded a bit higher than even Centaur.”
