Rick and Morty
game"for me to get Rick and Morty to my house in, I think he's in New York with butter cabinet with tax, right? There's tax on these games. A spooky pinball machine is going to cost him a tick over $10,000. So how is it disingenuous of me to say that a spooky pinball machine can be $9,000?"
Spooky Pinball Rick and Morty can legitimately cost $9000-$10000 with all options
"when you go into the Rick and Morty thread it feels like you're in the locker room of the team that won the championship and when you go into the stranger things thread it feels like you're in the locker room of the team that lost the championship"
Rick and Morty vs Stranger Things enthusiasm comparison
"without a doubt, the greatest launch of 2019, the greatest one goes to Rick and Morty and Spooky pinball. They did it perfectly."
Rick and Morty by Spooky had the perfect game launch of 2019
"I think that really fits well with a theme that has, you know, multiple universes or dimensions or whatever they call it... You know, there could be different permutations on things. You could try things over"
Rick and Morty translates better to pinball than Stranger Things because of multiple dimensions and collecting elements
"when you make a theme that people really, really want, it doesn't even matter, right? If the pinball machine is good or not"
Spooky Pinball's Rick and Morty selling 750 units in 4 hours demonstrates the power of theme - when you make a theme people really want, it doesn't even matter if the pinball machine is good or not
"This game is pretty early on code wise. And they're going to be working on adding stuff for the next year and a half... And I'm a little worried that we don't know. We don't have a standard by which we know how far a game is along."
Game's 18-month code development timeline is concerning for early buyers
"I don't think that's a bad buy at all. I mean, especially for me, I've been buying all these games lately that are selling for like $15,000, $12,000. And it just, to me, like $7,500 starts to feel like a bargain."
Rick and Morty Pinball pricing is justified and good value
"I think they should remove the non-refundable deposit part of this scenario... I just don't think it's fair to ask people to lock in not knowing where they're locking themselves into"
Spooky should not use non-refundable deposits for Rick and Morty pre-orders
"I actually think Rick and Morty translates so much better to Pinball than stranger things does... I think Rick and Morty will just be way more fun with the zany nature of the show"

Rick and Morty hype is unprecedented for an unseen game
"I think Scott Danesi's soft morric title was going to be super successful because people love him and they love his games and they love what he did with TNA. I think they're going to expect that this is going to be an evolution. If not a revolution of what Scott can bring to the pinball world"
Rick and Morty will sell out quickly due to Scott Danesi's fanbase and the Rick and Morty theme combination
"we haven't even seen the game. We're already attributing this as the best pinball machine of all time. You haven't seen anything yet."
People are getting hysterical about Rick and Morty without even seeing the game yet
"they're not going to make more than 750 and you know why they're the size of spooky pinball they're doing it right okay"
Spooky Pinball is correctly limiting Rick and Morty to 750 units due to manufacturing constraints
"It's probably the easiest theme for me to pass on out of all the themes that I've ever heard thrown out there as possible pinball themes... guess who doesn't have money to buy pinball machines, a younger millennial audience."
Rick and Morty is the easiest pinball theme to pass on - targets younger millennials who don't have money for pinball machines
"the fucking assholes that are trying to sell their early spots now for three to five thousand dollars. These people should fucking burn burn and pinball hell"
Flipping Rick and Morty early spots is morally wrong and worse than flipping Stern LEs
"They are going to sell every single one of these games and look. I'm the first one to admit I've never seen a single episode of Rick and Morty"
Rick and Morty pinball theme is excellent and will sell out
"if you stand in front of Rick and Morty and you look at the LCD screen It is fucking washed out. It doesn't look as good as a stern LCD"
Rick and Morty stock LCD has poor quality and field of view
"Your order number was never the order you were going to get your fucking game"
Order numbers were never meant to be sequential delivery order - people complaining didn't understand how it works
"spooky pinball has done the greatest pinball launch since I've been covering pinball. And I think they deserve to be applauded for it."
Spooky Pinball's Rick and Morty launch is the greatest pinball launch ever witnessed
