PPPo10 Pinheadz Pinball PODcast EP10! The Pinball Resurgence IS REAL!

With 9 of the TOP 10 grossing film franchises in history already having been made into pinball machines, are there any valuable film franchise licences left? In this episode we discover there’s one less title available to pinball manufacturers with Heighway Pinball’s announcement that they’re putting ALIEN PINBALL into production! UK pinball king & Heighway Pinball president Andrew Heighway joins us for the big news. Normally that’s about as big as it gets, but in the month just gone, Chicago’s 30th annual pinball EXPO had more big announcements & surprises than any other pinball expo for years! Amongst the CHICAGO EXPO highlights, Dutch Pinball’s THE BIG LEBOWSKI has landed on US soil! Do pinheadz like what they see? ALSO, Electromechanical pinball returns with WIZ BANG PINBALL’s Whoa Nellie going into production at STERN? We’ll find out how the magic of the EM era is coming back to modern pinball. PLUS the days of the Orange dot matrix display are numbered…COLORDMD announces their first STERN color display – LORD OF THE RINGS. ANOTHER new game is being announced this episode with Jersey Jack’s THE HOBBIT GOLD prototype revealed! MEANWHILE 14,000 kilometres away from Chicago on Australia’s Gold Coast, one of the country’s most talented maxillofacial surgeons is spreading the pinball word! AND the good news that we MAY BE one step closer to realising the dream of a Ghostbusters pinball machine. We’ll ALSO confirm which BALLY Williams classics are going back into production thanks to Planetary Pinball, the end of an era with the final STERN factory tour and lots more pin spotting with NEW instalments of “Pinball Appearances In Pop Culture”.
