Layout is very interesting but with the current prices and possible new stern release I'm holding out for now.

Spooky Pinball - Looney Tunes & TCM

This is incorrect , spooky don’t sell to distributors abroad at $9700 , $9700 is the US retail price . All distributors will pay less than that or else they wouldn’t be in business.
If it wasn’t for Phil, a lot of these original boutique machines would never make it to the uk. Big thanks go out to Phil and Pinball Heaven for doing this..

Spooky offer a slither of a discount to us. If you look in USA, the distributors there quoting $350 - $600 for domestic delivery so top up their margin that way etc.
As much as I'd like to do it for zero pounds and zero pence, I can't. PH has real, very expensive overheads like any real business.
I did enjoy subsiding every Halloween I sold by £500 but decided I couldn't do that again!

Just to be clear no one is firing shots at Phil or PH publicly here, as you say without Phil we would never have got Spooky, AP, CGC at the beginning of all their inceptions.
Just the simple fact of being in the this wonderful country and the cost of everything that even when prices do get dropped at the manufactures end, by the time games get here that reduction at Spooky's end is eaten up. Same thing applies to Stern and what Kris says on his channel, in the US you can almost view a Stern pro as a budget pin, over this side of the pond its not even close to a budget pin.
Think they said they managed to keep the CE price under 10k..
TBH looking at the decals of all the other models you’d be mad not to choose the CE!
Same with Scooby and with spooky for the price difference the CE is the best value, unlike Stern and their 4.5k mark up for an LE over a Premium, thats just them taking the ****.
Yeah I was thinking exactly the same. The main appeal to LT is for the cartoon artwork. The Looney Tunes logo on the Standard and BS cab does nothing for me. It looks like someone has spent all of 60 seconds grabbing the logo and positioning it on a pinball template and then said, sod it, that'll do. Trouble is the CE will likely sell out before we even get to see some live gameplay and the only option will be the other two cabs. Really surprised the BS version didn't also get the nice artwork package on the outside of the cab.
If anyone doesnt like the UK price then import them yourself from the USA.
I do not think you would complain after doing this once.

Spooky Luke said on pinside it won’t be long so anytime soon.
The way I read it was that the 888 units, are the total amount of units per title. So if everyone orders CE’s that’s 888 CE’s..
My current thought on this is whether heck can keep up with Eric on code. I suspect it will be night and day, so buy the looney tunes…
Can you elaborate please Jim, I don't know the people involved. Why will one be better than the other?

I should say that LT has my three year old‘s seal of approval. For some reason, he enjoys watching pinball sales trailers, and the LT trailer is now ‘other funny pinball video’. He has requested it several times.
Sadly, from experience with other themes, he won’t be interested in the original cartoons/media content - just the pinball machine.

That is one kickass layout.
Ben has been back coding for Spooky for quite a while now, specifically working on this code, I wouldn’t be worried and the gameplay above looks to back that up.
Looks super nice and shots seem to flow well, code looks super packed too.
That will more than likely put you off the pin
Spooky Luke just posted on Pinside:
"Hey guys a few things to note.
I have checked all my sources to my knowledge Scooby Ramps which are coated have held up 100%. I have not been able to find a single report of an issue. I also made the ramps in these games incredibly easy to remove just in case. No wiring attached to ramps so simply unscrew one and pop a new one in to replace. Also I mean at the end of the day if you need a new ramp we are going to send it to you. However as I said all testing over the last 18 months on these games has indicated 0 issue."
