Dune, by Barrels of Fun

[Jib]

He buys Pinball machines like other people buy socks .

If I had the space and money I’d buy them all too! (Pins not socks)

BOF are smashing it, which is very impressive considering the age of the company.

Agree.

If I were in the market for a NIB over 11k, this is the game I want and would buy.

I am more intrigued by it than KK.

Hope a fair few make it to the UK!

 

[Mozie]

Same here, I love this series albeit the books rather than the recent movies/TV show so dream theme for me and looks more innovative than kk, hoping it sells loads

Was watching the film again tonight, the recent videos released about the game on YouTube has renewed my interest in the game I was concerned it was going to be a brick fest.

Wife is already telling me to sell something to buy one ><

 

[David_Vi]

Another Adam Savage video like what he did with Labyrinth

 

[Jib]

After a slow start, Dune looks like it's going to end up being a great game. Really like how they've integrated the movie clips, playfield and hotrail lighting. Much more my style than the route JJP have taken with Harry Potter. Shame as HP is a much more appealing theme for me. Hard to get everything you want in one package!

 

[Fubar]

Game is packed with mechs. That left outlane save is really neat!

What an incredible weekend at UK Pinfest – the response to the Dune Pinball Machine was phenomenal!

Same here but I think they're only shipping out on the 16th of this month. Can't imagine they're being air-freighted.

Shipping 16th but we ship our games airfreight so much better delivery times normally about 5-10 days
We even had some come in 2 days once

Not a massive fan of containers ship misses a port and can delay it weeks at a time plus minimal tracking too

Well then, that's most excellent. Cheers Dave

Anyone waiting for this to arrive I share your excitement , away from noise of an expo it’s truly immersive.
Been playing it daily , naturally gone thru the glitches and tweaks. Have requested the scoop and diverter FOC fixes, though several hundred plays in and i’ve not seen any need for either….
Got the accessories pack coming too.

Presently running the BETA code in prep for the next update

Done my usual with the flippers and got all the power i need. Had a load of pinheads round the other week playing for 7hrs straight with no fade , BOF support has been faultless. Sound quality is spot on just like CGC. Internally it’s been well presented and time taken to assemble. Everything is on a chassis plate behind the translite

Got carried away this week and fitted some red flipper titans to match the red posts

Things to check

Desert multiball Posts nuts are on tight but not super tight. Locktite might be needed here as one of mine popped out
Flipper power pulse not flipper power secondary power is the one you need to change power ( but only by individual numbers at a time )

Check diverter bracket is tight

As all games were built after my diagnosis I think given BOF diligence they will have checked these issues prior

Ornithopter available on Amazon

Oh, and make sure your game is dead level , SDTM shots from plunge around the worm can be annoying

 

[s000m]

Thanks, can't wait for mine!

 

[SeikoKid]

---

Gonna ask Dave about these - If there is a few of us interested maybe he can get us a good deal ??

…….Mirror Backglass

 

[David retro]

I would expect this to be same cost as the glass for labyrinth unless that’s changed but I will check with them as they haven’t announced it yet or the time frame

Labyrinth backglass was £289

 

[Kaufmanised]

That alternative backglass looked great at expo!

 

[SeikoKid]

Apparently those at the show were prototypes and the actual production ones will be clearer and show the worm off better

No discount on bulk either sadly unless we get Dave a nice Swedish Massage

 

[SeikoKid]

I know people still waiting but it’s all worth it. This week i’ve not had the time as the wife said she’d forgotten what i look like i’m forever on it.
So i’ve had to delegate my time carefully lately…

I fitted the X4 version of the lepai amp range as the game has the Stern LE speakers and a decent sub and in my experience the 169 is alright but doesn’t have the minerals needed. I’ve gained more sound frequencies that i can pick out and the output overall is much better

should have the FOC playfield updates coming soon. The Titan rubbers are working well.

The game is just great and most of all a lot of fun. Some crazy skill shots i’ve found by accident.

Looking forward to others posting with their experience when they arrive

 

[Calimori]

Can I assume this is now stupidly loud? I will be bringing ear plugs when I come next time.

 

[SeikoKid]

Who me ? Don’t be ridiculous

 

[JMP]

Gone a bit quiet on Dune delivery..... Batch one's originally due in October stated to be in UK by end of this month and now that's looking bleak.

What's the chances before Christmas @David retro ?

 

[s000m]

It was due to ship this week I believe.

 

[David retro]

They were completed yesterday the delays were on the parts to finish the games they do now have 2 days off for thanks giving the air freight due to collect Monday then around 6 days normally we have requested an express service (long as customs play ball our end )

Apologies for the delays today been stuck up A and E all day will get back to every one in morning

Any questions please do send us a WhatsApp and will be sorted asap

 

[JMP]

Cheers Dave, glad to hear they're moving.

 

[David retro]
