Highlights
- Metallica (LE) had comparable secondary market demand as Mandalorian is experiencing, but current market perception of Sparky toy value has diminished by 2024
- Rick and Morty pinball (early release, March 2020) shipped without a wizard mode completed at day one
- Stranger Things (Premium/LE) and Guardians pinball both had code quality issues at launch that were widely criticized
- Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles pinball had wizard mode ready at day one launch
- Dwight Sullivan coded games have RPG-type progression elements like perks, upgrades, and character building across all titles
- Mandalorian pinball will feature a store mechanic where players buy upgrades (weapons/perks) similar to Game of Thrones gold system
- The Mandalorian (Pro) playfield has a static upper playfield with single flipper built-in (non-moving)
- The Mandalorian (Premium/LE) playfield features a moving upper playfield with dual flippers
- Dwight Sullivan games are linear in tournament format but non-linear for home play focused on wizard mode progression
- Led Zeppelin pinball's wizard mode was not fully coded at launch; 'Celebration Day' wizard mode was added in later update

“I want the scoop to actually fight back”
“if the scoop on Mando is the store, you want the guy to like physically kick you out of the store after you bought your upgrade”
“I fear the uh my my free time is so limited right now”
“what i'm learning is i'm outnumbered in this conversation so i should not say anything negative about tournament or competitive pinball”
