JJP Toy Story 4

From a players point of view, it looks great fun. With a few novel features. looks a whole lot more fun to play than RCT or Monopoly?! Not seen much of the standard version, though.
From an owners point of view I can see that’s a whole different scenario. Playfield quality. Playability. (If it plays anything like dialled in that’s very sad). Never played a potc or hobbit etc to comment. And of course the initial purchase price is very high.
Doesn’t look like a typical clunky, stop start lawlor game. (TZ excluded). But am I being deceived? Probably. Need to play one. Then I will know the truth.
Keef.......
(Footnote: who’s getting one? Anyone dan sarrff?)

I was born in 86 so I was nine when the original movie came out. I clearly remember seeing it for the first time at our local Odeon and I’ve been a big fan of the franchise ever since. Loved the sequel and really liked the third. Even my dad ranks the first two amongst his favourite films and he’s normally not one for ‘kid’ movies.

Given that the rumours we’ve been hearing for years were for a Toy Story machine I honestly thought I’d be putting an order in for one of these today, but Toy Story 4 just isn’t the same. I didn’t hate it, but I found it kind of forgettable. It isn’t classic Toy Story.

I’m not ruling it out entirely just yet, but the videos / gameplay are really going to have to be something special given the theme and the playfield design. Such a shame, it had so much potential.

I'm guessing they chose 4 because of the animation assets for the hd screen. Toy story CG animation has dated massively, that's not to take away from the film and story but it would look pretty naff in a machine.

Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory is one on my favourite films, and that’s the thing, we all favour different things, and in my opinion that’s a very good thing! What a world it would be if everyone liked the same things!

PS I really like my Wonka 😊

Another favourite film of mine is The Fly (1958), so maybe I’m very different!

Both my young kids love wonka, it's pretty timeless. Does the machine have the music assets, I've never played one.
 
Listening to Lawlor’s thought process, this is a game for novices and kids with rich parents- we’re not the main target audience.
 
Just finished the featurette and I’m not sure why all the vitriol it looks super fun and quite packed bearing in mind the target audience of family friendly I think it’s gonna excel on location and hopefully some point I’ll get one.
Not convinced on CE being worth the extra but definitely not a “turd” in any respect! No pinball is a turd Rush or Munsters included Which I have no interest in owning at any time.

I will reserve judgement until I’ve played it at Tilt hopefully day 1.

Me too makes a lot more sense, I can see my kids loving it. They have zero interest in playing pinball, I have found friends and family are much more interested and enjoy playing the LOTR over STTNG I suspect because it's simple in understanding what you have to do. Pitty I don't have a spare £13k. I suppose if I wait long enough it might be sold for £5k 🙄😏 but I very much doubt it.

It's the star wars and Indiana Jones movie affect, it will never match what people imagine it's going to be. 😃. After watching the video I thought it works well for the market it's aimed at.
