Kineticist’s take
JJP teases Avatar, Stern reveals Uncanny X-Men; hosts critique theming and Costco pricing.
Synopsis
Tony and Dennis discuss two major pinball game reveals: Jersey Jack Pinball's Avatar and Stern Pinball's Uncanny X-Men. They also address Stern's Jurassic Park Home Edition at Costco for $5,000. The hosts express skepticism about Avatar's theme viability, concern about Marvel fatigue with X-Men, and strong criticism of the home edition pricing strategy as insufficient to reach mainstream consumers.
