I think the game could of been greatly improved if it just had an orbit.

I'm actually quite excited to see Homepin new game. Theme is promising
 
theres one on location near me, not really close enough for you to pop to visit. Its not for sale either. hmm, pointless comment then really...
 
AFAIK there were only about 6 sent to the UK?

One was given to ITV as part of the contract and it was raffled for charity and bought at the charity auction by the manager of Nickelodeon, so I was told.

Crap or not, yes, addressing your comment Neil, I get several emails every single week asking to buy Thunderbirds pinball so it isn't 'hated' by everyone despite your opinion!

Well done for actually acknowledging what you actually like and will enjoy. Variety is what keeps a collection going strong and the mojo alive.

Who cares what anyone else thinks :)

Who knows in the current pinball climate! There are only 180 Thunderbirds Pinball machines worldwide so anything is possible.

We finished production when we moved to Taiwan so it's unlikely any more will be made, certainly by us and very unlikely by anyone else.

The owners in the EU are the ones primarily happy with the machine. I get many positive comments and compliments from Europe mainly but also from a handful in Australia, two just today actually.

We acknowledge it is not the best playing machine but it was our first machine and everyone has to start somewhere. I believe we copped a fair bit of unwarranted and undeserved negative backlash from a very vocal few.

Continued negative comments (as from Neil in this thread) aren't helpful to anyone, we know you don't like it - is it really necessary to keep saying that ad naseum?

As it happens I think many new machines are over rated rubbish but I don't go around constantly commenting about them, I move on and look for the positive.
 
It took Neil all of 28 mins from his 1st post ref Pinball Life to the “it’s crap” post.
I reckon his ar5e was making smarties between that time.
He just had to come back…… 😂

Don't worry about it Mike.

What's your next title anyway?

Sure, but I do tire of the constant vitriol from the same bunch of people. It isn't warranted particularly in a guys "wanted to buy" (or sell for that matter) thread.

If people aren't prepared to give new businesses a fair crack things are not going to change and the same few players will continue to stitch up the industry.

How about saying something like "It's not my cup of tea"?

that doesn't illustrate my frustration with what a miss of a theme I love. Thunderbirds deserved better, much much much better.

The other reason for adding it - is when @The seeker buys it for what ever it costs, then comes to sell it and perhaps finds it hard to move on.

Regards,
Neil.
