Avatar: The Battle For Pandora Pinball - Official Deep Dive

[@erikaspinballjourney]

As a filmmaker, can I just say this was probably the most visually stunning pinball trailer I have ever seen. I feel so honored to be one of the first to play this game. It looks phenomenal! Congratulations JJP team 👏👏👏

[@VGC-cc4xt]

any feedback about UV LE vs CE,look as good on LE?

[@erikaspinballjourney]

@@VGC-cc4xt they didn’t have the final UV board to show us at the tour. But the prototype was super bright and looked dope!

[@pinballshawn]

That's how you make a new pinball machine! Innovative, creative, beautiful and unique. You guys really are knocking it out of the park.

[@GuitarsAndSynths]

yup better than Stern that is just rehashing old playfields and weak video experiences

[@Gambenoful]

JJP never disappoints with their reveal trailers. Game looks incredible and fun to shoot.

[@cudaclan]

What a chapter in your life Mark. From “walking the plank” to “home brewing”. Hugs & kiss to you & E.

[@loganq5152]

Great job, Mark! Love the lighting, can't wait to feel what its like to hit the scramp and the eclipse ramps. And JJP continues to have the best UI in the industry

[@pinballseye]

I would guess that the JJP UI development budget matches Sterns budget for the whole design team. ;-)

[@theSMLpodcast]

STEMAGE!! #BallSquad for life! So proud of you buddy. From playing tables to making music for them!

[@dominickolas]

This trailer makes me really hope that Jersey Jack is the company that lands Harry Potter.

[@Jedi-Gill]

This looks amazing, Great work Jersey Jack and especially Mark. What a way to to make a splash on your first PIN.. I can feel the passion and excitement in your works, the modes are so creative. I especially love the one hand mode. 2 Lower playfields, is wild.. This game is packed with toys and features, I can tell this was a very ambitions project. I seriously can't wait to play this.

[@HansScharler]

The new star designer... Mark Seiden. 🔥

[@Raddland]

Good get, getting Grant Henry on the music and SFX. Dude's a beast, and such a smart musician.

[@gallimead]

This is going to be a collectible as a JJP Pirates. This design is something else

[@RetroRalph]

Wow, this looks amazing! While I'm not a big fan of Avatar, it seems like you did a tremendous job with theme integration. I look forward to playing it at Pinball Expo! Please consider bringing more of them to the show than last year's Elton, as the lines to play it were a bit excessive. Great work!

[@colemangreen4191]

Seem likes some real talented and hardworking people on the UI/screen integration on these games, along with everything else. Super high quality stuff they should be proud of. Colored UV ink looks so cool, can't wait to play!

[@PandoraFilesSubs]

Beautiful, the details really encapsulate the films and the beauty and uniqueness of Pandora to the full extent. Breathtaking 💙💜

[@ulriklarsen2239]

the art design on this is next lvl, what a insane amount of skill.

[@thinkpol1984]

WOW! Truly spectacular!! Congrats to Mark on his pinball debut and the whole JJP team!

[@jonpenguin303]

Looks incredible. Truly a work of art! I hope it plays as good as it looks. Can't wait to play it. I absolutely love Jersey Jack pins. Please re-release Pirates of the Caribbean as i want one and can not find one to purchase....PLEASE!

[@TheTyUeda]

Jersey Jack always knocks it out of the part with the videos. Great job to all. Can't wait to play Mark's new game!

[@JoeMama1142]

Wow, I have never even watched either of the movies (though I did the ride at Disney) and I have to say it would be an understatement to just call this a beautiful machine. Those who love the theme are going to lose their minds. It does make me wonder what JJP could do with a theme that I love though. Well done, looks great. Hope it plays well.

[@mannymets5687]

Great Job to Jack and his crew of magicians. I cant wait to get this machine into my showroom.

[@IzzyMaxwell]

This looks like so much fun! I can't wait to play. Great job, Mark & JJP!

[@ukxvc]

Wow, that''s how you do new pinball. Amazing, just amazing

[@patm95]

The artwork looks almost 3D

[@Tonyscoots]

Absolute Beauty, one of the best! Great Job JJP

[@tntamusements]

SO Beautiful! Looks simply wonderful, from our wonderful Jersey Jack folks!

[@ehyouman]

After Elton...... I COULDN'T BE MORE EXCITED 🥳🥳🥳 LOOKS FANTASTIC!

[@LexCinnabon]

You outdid yourselves again, what a stunningly beautiful game. I love my GN’R LE and if I ever get another JJP it’s gotta be this one. Excellent work to all those involved!

[@lowstaar]

It looks awesome!

[@pinballer638]

Great effort! JJP makes beautiful games with great theme emersion. JJP just needs to have an introductory model for us "Pro" users. It's a huge market they are missing out on. Even if this was my dream theme I would be out at the 12k price point. GnR is my dream theme and I found paying 9.5k at the time a bit steep and promised to never spend more than that ever again. Let's bring back the 9.5 k pin, there is no reason not to. Remove shaker, powder coating, invisi glass, side art, topper and you have a huge segment of people willing to purchase. a theme like avatar which most people don't care for. Same with Elton John, many people like the game, but won't buy it because of price. Again, good job JJP, but the self-admiration will be the downfall of the company if it keeps going that way.

[@Krellan]

They tried that, making a stripped-down model of Guns And Roses, at a reduced price. It did not sell well at all, from what I heard. Trying to cheap out takes away the magic that makes JJP unique and different from Stern. Same as with cars: instead of trying to buy the cheapest new car you can find, if you are on a limited budget then buying a used car is a much more productive and practical choice. You will get a better car for your money. Same with a pinball machine: instead of trying to cheap out on a stripped-down new machine, get a used older game instead. It will provide more fun per dollar spent.

[@pinballer638]

@@Krellan Because they GnR was the hottest selling JJP game EVER! Everyone wanted an LE and they took out too much. Prior games like Wonka, Dialed In, Wizard of Oz, etc, didn't have MAJOR things removed and the game was almost the same. JJP's head got HUGE during GNR red hot sales, and they got too greedy too fast and thought they could continue abandoning the their fans. I'm a fan. I bought GnR at 9k an LE, you can't get 9k anything, and at the time I thought 9k was way too much for GnR, but not only am I a JJP fan, but also GnR and it was a perfect storm for me. JJP will go out of business soonish like 5 years. They will have another hit with Harry Potter, raise the prices during that game because it will be red hot and then point of no return and they are cooked.

[@tonymontano3042]

Incredible!

[@kirtfox2372]

I think you guys out did yourselves this time 😊

[@stevendesmond2685]

Silverball in Asbury Park NJ always gets Jersey Jack machines. Will definitely go and play if they get one.

[@ellispoo44]

agreed going there in two weeks so at least I will be able to play Elton John for the first time love Asbury Park.

[@t-roy80]

next level! 😱

[@PAULOJCOSPINA]

Impressive! Congratulations JJP!

[@TiltingT]

Absolutely beautiful looking game! Please bring a bunch of them to EXPO! So we so can get a chance to experience this game.. Wish it could be in a darker room so we can experience the lighting package in all of it's glory!

[@JackpotMike77]

They need to bring metal scaffolding and black cloth to surround each machine in a dark room...

[@markm9282]

Looks gorgeous!! Congrats to JJP and all involved ❤

[@antonvlasjuk3079]

Looks very fun !

[@RUMZ70]

Impressive! I look forward to stepping up to this in a darkened room.

[@RobinvdTube]

Looks sick 😎 😨😮

[@TheDanielSpies_Arcades]

Love this machine ❤ beautifully detailed. 🙌🏻

[@combochuck]

Oh my goodness... Yall, this is truly amazing... No offense to your previous tables, as they are all impressive. But this looks like the first JJ masterpiece that may just end up making it into my home. I've got to play it before investing though. Would one of these machines happen to be making it to Cleveland Gaming Classic? Probably not, but I would be a very happy person if it does!

[@hellothere-pd9zc]

This looks really awesome. I love it great job jjp!

[@michaeljones4572]

What an AMAZING looking game! Way to go JJP! So much innovation and thought went into this game. Bravo!! Congrats Mark and the entire JJP team! Way to crush it on your first game! BAM!!!

[@Silvergun360]

This looks bonkers! Great job!

[@JUICY_TIME]

Absolutely beautiful!

[@MrTriplejaw]

Impressive. Like seeing lighting play a big role in the game.

[@michaeljkasnter]

Just finished playing Avatar, Absolutely Phenomenal!!! JJP has propelled light years ahead of Stern

[@Terdwillow]

Keep pumpin' 'em out! This looks amazing.

[@seacoastsounds]

This game looks beautiful Mark! Congratulations on your release! -Pinny

[@thelylesadventures1556]

What a great reveal trailer. Makes me want this table

[@WarriorTier]

The light show is next level, amazing!

[@TwirlingFern]

What an amazing game, amazing lighting and incorporating great sound music and video clips. I can tell a whole lot of passion was poured into this game. I wish there were more than 2 multi balls though since that’s the most fun. Cool left hand only mode.

[@hypertube81]

The ambition is impressive if not incredible. The execution is something that remains to be seen. My personal experience with JJ Pinball Machines has been less than stellar, particularly when it comes to the flippers and all that entails. Flippers are EVERYTHING in Pinball!

[@Wotorious]

J.P. & Olaf! You guys, rock! Gefeliciteerd with this huge achievement. 🎉 Can’t wait to play it.

[@jlarsson1978]

Really impressive video, great job. Remains to be seen how good the game plays but looks very promising!

[@Chronix74]

Can't wait to play it!

[@andreadibitonto6709]

full production coming early soon

[@johnmcclane2139]

Looks good! I look forward to playing it. I have a hard time connecting with the theme as the movies always struck me as kind of strange because they wanted me to root against Humans, kind of like the new Planet of the Apes movies. I understand that the writers of the movies make the Humans comically bad (so that you want root against them) and the Apes or tribe like people mostly comically good, but I'm still going to root for the Humans. The best character of Avatar 1 was Colonel Miles Quaritch by a mile.

[@brianperkins6121]

Some of the human's , not all of them,,

[@marcobucci]

Real nice work, folks!

[@turbografx7]

Jaw dropping! Beautiful beautiful pin! Looks amazing guys congrats.

[@GuitarsAndSynths]

looks amazing! I want to try this one out at next pinball festival!

[@grambo1980]

GRATS MARK looks super cool! Sure hope i get to play one around here!

[@Yetterben]

Didn’t toy story use cake decorations on the playfield for toys? Just referring to only using high end stuff said by a person on dev team in video. Other than this the game looks unique and very fun. The UV aspect looks aces!

[@dinle_dinle]

Nice!

[@sadboi7537]

Beautiful looking game. I’d expect nothing less from JJP at this point. Best light show in the game, without a doubt.

[@pedaleou]

OUTSTANDING art! GREAT WORK

[@FANTAVISION]

That looks amazing! Hopefully I’ll be able to find it at an arcade nearby

[@johnm4130]

Wow. Doesn't get better than that! Really looking forward to playing this.

[@ultrainstinkt8428]

Soo beautiful work. Amazing

[@aaronsilva5784]

CE 15k is insanity. Sick of bare metal wire-forms. For 15k these should at the very least be painted to immerse you into this game. I’d like to see the future of pinball do a better job at incorporating design and immersion into the wire forms and ramps. Green vines intertwined around the ramps but still allowing the ball to roll would’ve been impressive

[@Krellan]

I like bare metal because it is reflective and shiny. Reflective lighting is a big part of the pinball experience. If you would prefer colored ramps, take a look at Rollercoaster Tycoon instead. Notice how different the games look. Rollercoaster just looks cheap and plasticky by comparison. One can see why they deliberately chose to use bare metal parts here.

[@jackpoulin6443]

Jaw Dropping. JJP is literally in a class of its own. Can't wait to play it at the Expo.

[@QuadriderFMX]

Congrats JJP… Looks fantastically created! As a current and proud owner of 1x JJP and 4x B/W, I’d take this any day over X-men! 👏🍻

[@Kwistenbiebel100-ns5ko]

[@JamesGadbury]

[@Chris.T.Ortez138]

I'm not at all a fan of the Avatar movies, but the game looks well designed and fun!

[@JackpotMike77]

I'm excited about this but I hoped you showed me more gameplay. Can't really see what's going on in the top sectors hardly at all. And that has me most curious...also what is the price point. Everyone was concerned that Elton John was overpriced. It was a great game just too expensive. With barrels giving a premium LE for 10k the pressure is on to be more competitive. I'd like to consider buying but the price has to be fair and not more than a car...

[@Jumanji-ds5nd]

Ladies and gentlemen- This …is how you do a reveal of a pinball masterpiece. If you can’t get the licensing for your theme, just don’t do it. JJP has never disappoint us with their themes. They go all out to get as authentic as they can, everything sound, color, light, etc. is incorporated into the theme. All JJP machines based on real themes feature call out voices, music and sound that are amazing. This should be nominated for Game of the Year.❤

[@PlayPauseRecord535]

Fantastic!

[@ginkostarr]

Well done JJP!

[@kennytaylor5849]

Aye ok. You’ve knocked it out the park!

[@BruceHerrmann-e6g]

Looks fantastic, but I'm not shelling out $15k+ for looks. I'm only shelling it out if the play is equally fantastic, and cant' tell from the promo. Please provide some clean shots of the playfield and the rule set. FWIW I own the CE Godfather and CS Elton John, as well as the LE WWTCF. They all have great flow. But I've sold my POTC and WOZ---they play just wasn't that fun.

[@hectorlatorre8578]

Another hit.

[@matlightfxproductions]

A missed opportunity that I really wanted and hopefully someone makes is fiber optic plants to look like the movie plants and what they do in Disney world

[@aj1875]

Looks good, I'm not really interested in the theme so I won't get it tbh but I will play it whenever I see it! That said I really hope jersey jack is the company to do harry potter and one day give me a michael jackson pinball machine.

[@ultimatebasses]

I'd definitely get one of these Avatar pins. Too bad the Canadian dollar is currently in the crapper, adding 45% to the cost.

[@CoolCoyote]

but lets be honest the first movie hit hard because the story was better and it was the first one. MAKE HAY WHILE YOU CAN. they made the most of the artwork because its easy with those beautiful colours.

[@DRI374]

These will fly off the shelves.

[@shivorath]

At $15K a pop? I doubt that.

Wish they'd waited until all the Avatar movies came out, so that way they could include all the tribes.

[@pegasisilver6249]

Fantastic! I´m truuly disappointed when you choose not to have complete uv-lighting on the playfield in the L.E. version, since it´s the only one i possibly could afford. A bit puzzled about that decision? Did you consider only white led´s for the platinum edition elton john?

[@JPdewin]

LE does have UV lighting. Just not all 3 uv inks.
