The Pinball Show Ep 103: Toy Story 4 Release, Analysis, & Reactions

“I did get confirmation from my source at JJP that Toy Story 4 is in fact Pat Lawler's last Jersey Jack game for the foreseeable future. Although don't count Pat out of the pinball world just yet as he moves down the proverbial pinball highway to plot a next potential move or opportunity.”

“The 1,000 pieces of the collector's editions sold out in just minutes online and with distributors around the world.”

“I'm wondering at this point, as homeowner oriented as things have gotten, is it really a serious issue of, well, we'll undermine what's currently on the line if there's something better that people want coming out later when so many people are putting in deposits or not deposits, but getting on lists?”

“Too bad they didn't spend more on the licensing. Looks like no Buzz Lightyear. Not only is Buzz in the game, Jersey Jack got Tim Allen to do custom call-outs, along with other original voice actors from the movie, which was an absolute licensing home run.”

“These things shipped Wednesday. They shipped Wednesday. It felt like more people received more Toy Story 4s than what I remember from GNR.”

“The expectation on this game, much like the pinball hobby itself, was and is at an all-time high. Just like what happened with Willy Wonka, Stranger Things, Jurassic Park, The Avengers, Beatles, Led Zeppelin... Okay, Led Zeppelin kind of deserved the hate.”

“I thought this was Toy Story, but this is not. This is Toy Story 4... I thought this was Pat Lawler's greatest hits and packed with all this, but I can't see any of it. Everybody kind of freaked out.”

“The argument is, but will it draw in enough people to cover two certain pros? That's the argument.”

“Slinky Dog Ramp would be... I like this Very Target idea. That would have been a little bit more tricksy.”

“I'm getting a little worried that if they get much bigger, like, is Multimorphic going to come after them with passion and friendship?”
