The Pinball Show Episode 60: Ryan Wanted The Title Of This Episode To Be 'This Is The Way' Host: Zach Meny Special Guest Cohost: Ryan C. - Teolis vs Rye Bread In A Fist Fight - Behind The Scenes...

Highlights

  • Dwight Sullivan is the coder for Mandalorian, not Lonnie Ropp as initially speculated
  • Mandalorian LE machines in Australia are priced at $14,500 AUD
  • Flippin' Out received 20 fewer Mandalorian units than anticipated for distribution
  • Stern rejected Zach's pitch to establish Flippin' Out Pinball as a distributor in Australia due to existing monopoly
  • Mandalorian LE sold out before Stern listed an official price on the Australian distributor website
  • Multiple customers ordered both LE and Pro/Premium units of Mandalorian for first time across Flippin' Out's customer base
  • Zach quit his clinical psychology job to focus full-time on pinball and arcade business
  • A rumor that Baby Yoda moves mechanically was reported by The Nerdist but likely an error; no mechanical movement confirmed on Stern's feature matrix

Notable quotes

I am taking the higher road, and I am not selling Mandalorian alleys when I could make an extra $50,000 right now
Zach
I'm a back scratcher. And then hopefully if I'm in a time of need or a time of needing support, hopefully somebody else will scratch my back. It's how I do business
Zach
The bar is quite low for a Star Wars pinball machine to become the new best Star Wars pinball machine... Everyone's like, okay, I think this is it. I think this is going to be the first really good Star Wars game
Ryan C
Difficult games generally just are not received well in the community. They're just not. You're 100% right. People do have egos
Ryan C
Whenever I hop into a Ferrari, there's a hell of a lot less going on in a Ferrari than there is a Cadillac Escalade, but I can tell you what happens when I hit that gas pedal
Zach
People like... people like oh my gosh the game is so much fun because they like all the multivolves are easier... now I tell people like if you find it too easy go make it harder but if you tell people these i'm putting it on factory settings if it's too hard for you make it easier they won't do it
Ryan C
I want to set up a fight with Jeff Teolis... if he comes back to Australia. I want an equal kind of ground. So I want us to both be in those inflatable sumo suits
Ryan C
Dwight Sullivan, I would say, is on there... these are just people that I admire
Zach
Walking Dead is the most... It's the biggest masterpiece code in pinball, in my opinion
Zach
I absolutely loved it. But I'm not sure long-term how much staying power it would have... everything about that game is magical to me
Ryan C
