We Are Pinball #62 "Gimme (Fallout) Shelter!!!"

Hosts critique Fallout's design and pricing despite LE sell-out; debate justified cost vs actual mechanics.

Synopsis

In WAP episode 62, hosts Don and Jengiz discuss the newly announced Fallout pinball machine, analyzing its mechanical design, pricing strategy ($7,299 Pro / $10,699 Premium / $14,000 LE), and questioning whether the $1,000 price increase is justified by the game's features. They debate the playfield layout (noting similarities to P3/Multimorphic designs), criticize the upper playfield as underutilized, and discuss how the game's complete LE sell-out signals market acceptance of aggressive pricing despite mechanical limitations compared to past Stern releases like Godzilla.
