In Before the Lock Episode 25 - Tariffs, Harry Potter, TPF Reactions and more
Join Rob from The Electric Playground and Davey from Stumblor Pinball as they delve into the seedy underbelly of the pinball mod scene on their fortnightly live stream “In Before the Lock”.
Kineticist’s take
TL;DR
Tariffs create inverted competition; Avatar/Harry Potter announcement strategy faces criticism.
Synopsis
Rob and Davey discuss tariff impacts on pinball manufacturers and aftermarket vendors, with UK-based makers gaining unexpected competitive advantages while US domestic costs rise. They cover TPF reactions, Jersey Harry Potter announcement, and upcoming King Kong reveal on April 17th, analyzing how premature game reveals can damage sales hype and market positioning.
