Notable quotes
“So they're doing a Royal Edition, which can be yours for the low, low price of only $10,000. So it's a pretty good buy, considering what all the upgrades cost separate.”
“And that's what's cool. It's not static. Like, he's moving his head around. You know, up until I saw that, I've really never been one for the toppers. It's like, yeah, they're cool, but they don't really do anything for me. And then I see that, and I'm like, it's interactive.”
“Spooky just keeps knocking them out of the park.”
“That's a game changer. That's a step in the right direction. That's using the internet and pinball and technology. Smartly.”
“I think leaderboards should be done as well. You know, if you're going to hook to Wi-Fi, have online leaderboards.”
“$20, dude, for the whole weekend? That's awesome. That's crazy good.”
“It felt old school Pinnagogo. And I know that's what Don wants the very much laid back, low key effect.”
“The Ghostbusters topper is hot like fire. The Ghostbusters topper, people are paying upwards of a grand out here today.”
“It's the technology, Alex. It's the technology. It's the open-eyed saints as an iron man.”
“There you go. Absolutely, it would fit perfect on that. So if you want to put a $300 top on your $500 game.”
