Dutch pinball doing " Back to the future ? "

Are Dutch production facilities geared up for such a huge theme?

For big productions two companies exist - JJP and STERN.

All the others produce games on a small scale.

Rick and Morty/Scooby are bigger themes than Spooky.
Alien and Queen are bigger than Pinball Brothers

The latest games being discussed on here are done by small companys. Barrels of fun are doing 1100 games. But that is more than CC when that was released.

Dutch Pinball are a quality builder. Give them chance. People here have given CGC over two years to build CC.......
 
Dutch Pinball will give the theme the love it deserves.

They might not do another machine after BTTF until 2029. They'll probably never mass produce games, but I have confidence every theme they do will be a masterpiece.

I have heard now from more than 1 person that the entire BTTF run from Dutch will be limited...but limited to what number? If it's 1000 games or less then the price is going to have to be really high $15000+ if these we want these games going to diehard fans and not flippers. Kinda scary. Also heard that a SLE is coming (further cementing Kapow's involvement). Wonder how much those 88 games (so obvious) are going to cost? Will certainly be outside of what I can spend. I am going to guess $25000.
 
That would be a terrible business decision and given the state of the market, I would have thought they would be making as many as they could.

It depends on their business strategy, I think.

As manufacturing volume/capacity increases, overheads rise (and many of those would be costs that would become fixed in for the long term, e.g. bigger manufacturing facility, more manufacturing equipment, more specialist employees) and profit margins go down. That capacity/volume increase would need huge capital investment which they would need to find, increasing the debt that they needed to service, and it would put them more squarely competing against Stern (and to a lesser extent, JJP) for volume sales. There might be an opportunity to do that, but it would be a risky strategy imo and need a lot of investment (you'd need to ask the question, do you have vastly deeper pockets and skilled resources than Stern?).

An alternative and perfectly valid strategy to differentiate against the bigger companies would be to go for premium/exclusive products, low-volume, meaning lower overheads and higher margins. So only target a market niche, as they have done to date.

They could do all that without any changes to their set up, but just don’t limit them. Anyway, it probably means nothing, as limited edition doesn’t mean anything in pinball anymore!
 
Mega excited about this release, if they have the movie clips, car, music and Thomas Wilson doing callouts they'll smash it.

I'd also expect some very cool light effects on this game.

I'm not aware of any plans to move factory. In fact, if they're planning on manufacturing one game over a three year period, they really don't need to. I doubt they have any desire to follow the Stern mass production model.
 
It'll probably be announced at the Chicago Pinball Expo October 15-19, 2024

That's if it is going to be announced in Q4 next year
