Woohoo eff you work!

You should consider doing an update to this review, as Pinside reviewers have claimed the code changes were the most comprehensive of any pin ever done, and have made an already very good pin into an incredible pin. SDTMs biggest knock was the code, and now from those Pinside reviews, the code is incredible. TBL license expires at the end of 2024, so giving DP the review the update now deserves would help a startup move some pins before it is discontinued. Everyone agrees that the quality is superb, producing such a strong initial offering, and supporting DP into the future is good for the industry.

After preordering this game in July 2014, I just received my "Achiever Edition" of The Big Lebowski from Dutch Pinball, and the wait (while far from desirable) was well worth it in the end! This game is already "F***kin' A" fantastic and, as you guys pointed out, will only get EVEN better when more code is released!

Agree. It’s so damn close to a near perfect pin. Needs more code and I would have loved to have seen one fairly difficult/satisfying shot in the layout

Unbelievable field design, just flows together so well.

They have one of these at Tilt in Minneapolis. Super fun to play. It's so floaty.

Played it at Golden State Pinball festival a couple yrs a go! Awesome game!

great video, i have to get a few games on one of these :)

Theme integration yes. Need this.

* National Lampoon Vacation (or Christmas vacation) would be a dream indeed! Comedy is really needed in pinball and it just fits well...this game proves it and Im buying one ;) * Home Alone would be great too. Other themes I would love to see: * Gremlins (a prequel is coming) * Thundercats (would trade it for my TMNT LE) * Jaws * And back to the future

Beautiful pin.

Love to see a predator pinball. Saw a story someone made 250 but then got sued.

From what I saw and played of it at Pinball Expo 2016 and Texas Pinball Festival 2019, my only problems I got with it is code isn't that great, and reliability. Seeing it break down, getting worked on, turned off that many times sure wasn't a good sign, and all the drama on top of that turned Dad and me off from getting once even though we're big fans of the movie. Dad decided to get a Batman 66 instead. Glad Dutch is bouncing back finally making them. Hopefully they'll be rolling out those updates and it's more reliable. Looking forward to giving it another shot

When will they sell them again? Do you know?

Avengers,Jurassic parks,turtles and all that is cool but it is getting a bit.. I don't know boring maybe (I can't find the word ..) I can relate to the film and they seem to done that with the pin too. I find this pin more interesting than the pins I mentioned above. Anyways great review as always!

Does this score still stand, now that production has been upgraded? What about code updates….? Just curious, cuz I want one lol

Never played it but It looks very oldschool layout and rules wise. I've got the feeling Pinball evolved a lot since then (Deadpool, jurassic park, iron maiden, Pirates etc.) But do you punish it for being like some of the most loved Pinball machines of all time? And the awesome upper playfield makes up for not having a saucer or castle shot.

Wish I could play one. They had one on location in Grand Rapids but I don't think it was ever not out of order and unplugged. That's another bugbear with this right? If major shit starts breakin' down you're SOL.

You have to acknowledge the fact that buying something like this can result in a $12,000 paperweight that sits in your corner broken and mocks you.

@michaelxwhite

2 жыл бұрын

That's why I decided ultimately not to purchase it. Parts and break downs. It's true the machine isnt all that reliable. It's a collectors paperweight. Is it worth the $15,000 pinsiders ask when selling it used...heck no. My thoughts, it will come down on the used market to the 8k range. Then the prive of the paperweight is made considerably cheaper.

Dutch Pinball is working to correct this. Still lots of other "Early Achievers" (preorderers) behind me and it took 6+ years, but I just got my game. That's more than you can say for most other pinball preorder debacles.

How was this theme for a pinball machine greenlighted? I'm not a hater of BL, but is there a big market out there from the movie? Maybe my dream of a Bioshock Infinite machine is still achievable. Maybe a licensed or generic Pandemic theme.
