Labyrinth Pinball Barrels Of Fun First Impressions - IT’S A HIT!

[@cooltoy]

What do you think about the new Labyrinth pinball machine? Let me know your thoughts in the comments below!

[@eldenringer6466]

A labyrinth TABLE!? WOW!!! The film music is amazing. I'd love to play this but worry I wont. Get one for us!...its only for ever lol Pls :-D

[@eldenringer6466]

I believe the nipper plunger is extra and not cheap. Lots of extras. 13k is soooo much money but I guess you get what you pay for. I feel 9,999 for it all would be better for a new company.

[@007bondson1]

PreOrdered with topper. Done and done 😛

[@jacooosthuizen3593]

Great video just your face is really lit up and looks so bright.

[@justinthomas2458]

Played this today at the Northwest pinball and arcade show today and it was even better than expected. Also pre-ordered a unit with the topper and nipper add-ons today! Now I will have to decide which pin to mothball😢

[@crazyfrets07]

My wife and I have saying for FOREVER that Labyrinth would be such a good pinball theme. Glad someone else with the power thought so too!

[@cooltoy]

Totally! Now we just need The Goonies and a Muppets pinball to go with it!

[@scottgraham586]

What power? ;)

[@crazyfrets07]

@@scottgraham586 The power of voodoo!

[@PennilessImp749]

Thanks for reviewing this. Its strange to see someone who loves this film more than I do, I didnt think it was possible. We purchased this today from a UK Distributor with all the extra accessories. Can't wait to get it.

[@cooltoy]

Happy I could help 👍 hopefully the new machine brings you many wonderful hours and memories!

[@jonathanhazlett8880]

Wow, this literally looks like barrels of fun. I think they nailed it, and that topper is... fantastic. Love both back glass designs, but I'm partial to the second/alternative one you showed.

[@gwildor8543]

Will be at expo tomorrow to give it a play. My concern was build quality due to it being a new machine, but I placed my preorder based off of your review as I’m going to trust your first impressions and hope mine reflects them tomorrow as well too.

[@cooltoy]

Make sure you get in line early! It will be busy all day long. I’m still here at 10pm currently and the line is 20 people deep to play

[@gwildor8543]

@@cooltoy Played it today and absolutely loved it. You were right on the money with your review. I am thoroughly impressed with this offering. I think we have that makings of another great pinball maker.

[@wicked49ford]

@cooltoy always comes in clutch! Me and my wife are going back and forward on pulling the trigger on this gem since it's announcement. It's differently an investment. We priced everything with the topper, shipping and taxes. It would be around $12.5k which is a scary amount but damn! This pinball is so cool..😅

[@cooltoy]

Yeah my wife told me to find cheaper hobbies 😂 But this machine is absolutely gorgeous and I think has a lot going for it for the price point. Definitely an investment but one that I think will pay dividends for a long time in terms of joy and entertainment

[@TiltingT]

Fantastic video Doug! It was a pleasure meeting you and playing Labyrinth with ya tonight and I agree with ya wholeheartedly! They absolutely nailed this machine..as far as reliability I havent seen any of there machines down the whole show and they all have been being played nonstop..great review and now i need to sell a kidney to bring it home! Lol..hope to see ya tomorrow!

[@cooltoy]

I’m with you on selling a kidney, I mean that’s why we have two in our bodies right? One to sell and one to use 😆

[@MalikyeMoon]

I ordered #616 on day 1, and broke down and ordered the Topper today ;) Dream theme' One of the best movies I got to introduce the kids and nieces/nephews to!

[@cooltoy]

Awesome, I’m sure the kiddos will love playing and seeing your new machine!

[@richrivera6781]

Saw you at the show today, wanted to say hi but you were busy talking to someone and didn't want to interrupt. Didnt get to play Labyrinth cause the line was long all day but it definitely looks amazing. I think they hit a homerun with this and look forward to future releases from this company.

[@cooltoy]

Are you going to be there Saturday? If so definitely stop and say hey if you see me. I’ll be wandering the floor all day slapping some games around

[@pinundrum]

Great video review as always, following you back from A1up days and graduated to Pinball around same time. keep them coming!

[@cooltoy]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@tyarnold4088]

You liked it so much you have to have it. Nice. This might be the best of the games out recently.

[@cooltoy]

I think so too!

[@tjp8663]

It looks like a lot of love went into making this game.

[@cooltoy]

Totally agree, they definitely showed a lot of care for the IP

[@jeffd.1485]

best review of this machine yet! nice job. fantastic looking machine for sure.

[@cooltoy]

Thank you very much!

[@gopooalreadyplease5842]

I think its awesome and cant wait for ours to ship! Too bad I couldn’t make expo. Glad you love it!

[@cooltoy]

Hopefully they crank these machines out sooner than later and you won’t have to wait too long before you get yours.

[@coreymarch8043]

We've ordered it. We have Medieval Madness, Addams Family and Circus Voltaire. Circus Voltaire is going at least to the garage to make way for this. I LOVE the movie, I made my own door knockers which are on doors in our home, and we have the worm perched up on our windowsill overlooking where the pinball will be. Can't wait to play this thing! So glad all the reviews I've seen are glowing and that it's well built.

[@cooltoy]

Sweet! I'm sure you'll love the new machine in your home, sounds like you guys will have the perfect place for it.

[@King_Henry]

Badass rundown bro. Really enjoyed your professional take on it, especially in regards to unbiased approach. It truly does look like it’s stealing the show

[@cooltoy]

Much appreciated! It's so cool to me that a new upstart can come out of nowhere in make a big splash at expo with the other big name companies. Especially with Chicago being most of these companies back yard essentially. Great time to be a fan of pinball!

[@King_Henry]

@@cooltoy I completely agree! I just hope the barrels can keep delivering like Donkey Kong can (in a good way) long-term support is always something to consider with startups. But still!

[@mokiariel7335]

My absolute favorite movie! Thanks so much for this review. You definitely sold me on it. Also getting the goblin topper.

[@cooltoy]

Glad I could help 👍

[@quentinbesancenez1427]

Great pinball machine. Thanks for sharing

[@cooltoy]

Thanks for watching!

[@Nightscape_]

Next I hope we see a Pan's Labyrinth pinball machine come out sometime.

[@scottgraham586]

It's probably the only new machine that would make me sell some of my comics for it.... Might have to preorder. 8)

[@cooltoy]

I sold a lot of my comics to pay for my first machine when I bought my Stranger Things pinball, I know how tough that is.

[@CollectingStarWars]

Wow, Doug! This is a beautiful pinball! Fantastic Art, it puts you right in the movie! So Fun! When the game is over does it say, Should You Need Us?

[@cooltoy]

Should you need us is definitely incorporated in the gameplay

[@jonathan-q3f]

One thing I noticed it doesn't have is Jennifer Connelly, who played Sarah in the film. Guess they couldn't get the rights to her likeness. Also, I didn't see the Escher room, the final chamber where Sarah faces 9ff with the Goblin King. Still, this pinball looks pretty fun. Can't wait to try it.

[@smog-097]

That ramp looks concerning, but wow, what a machine. So want this.

[@clintwarren1187]

I love your review! Thanks for sharing.

[@cooltoy]

Glad it was helpful!

[@claudacious9947]

The real thing is so nice looking.

[@dangerdonk6670]

Thanks for the review and quick turnaround on the upload. I pre ordered last saturday the day after it was announced lol. Grew up loving the film like you. This theme hit me hard and I had to have it. Hearing nothing but positive reports from expo today makes me so happy. Now I want BOF to make a Goonies pin but I need them to wait a couple of years so I can spread out all these damn purchases lol.

[@cooltoy]

I’d be stoked to see them do The Goonies! Especially if it’s given this level of detail and love by Barrels Of Fun! I’d have to sell more of my games or a kidney to buy it likely but it would be worth it I’m sure!

[@cooltoy]

Yes I have its great

[@videogamevegas]

CoolToy, I always thank my lucky stars I ran into you "virtually" out here in cyberspace :) I haven't been this excited for a pinball machine since Godzilla (which used to be my number 1 wish to play)! I could just tell from the first gameplay teaser that Labyrinth was the real deal! Everything exuded so much perfect-ness (not a word, I know :P)! Now this might come as a shock then... I'm not a fan of the Labyrinth movie. I remember not liking it when I was a kid, but later as an adult, when the Bluray was on a deep discount sale, I bought it to give it another chance. And... I still didn't like it. BUT... The art direction of the film can never be denied! So indescribably alluring! And for someone to adapt that magical art into a medium I love, Pinball, well, count me in! Oh, there is something else I do like about the movie, actually love, the Bowie tunes. And when CoolToy, a guy who tells it like it is, says it's legit, that clinches it! And you hit it on the head (or should I say, on the top). I couldn't imagine getting this pin without the most amazing topper I'VE EVER SEEN (Mandalorian, hold my beer!)! This is a Jim Henson fever dream! Muppets move and DEEZ MUPPETS MOVE! And not only move, they're activated by game play! If I had my choice of one new real pinball machine, this is it, hands down! Labyrinth is my new number 1! And that's saying something from a guy who isn't into the movie! It's not in a realistic budget for me, but I'm so excited for you to get this FANTASTICAL machine! Oh... And Elton John just told Foo Fighters to hold its beer! What in the world is going on???!!! SO MANY GREAT PIN RELEASES! Now Godzilla has been regulated to number 3 on my list. And though the collector's laser show topper for Elton John only comes with that top tier, it blows my mind as well! So glad you got to hit the expo! Keep having an amazing time! vgv

[@cooltoy]

That is huge praise from someone who isn't in love with the film for sure! I've been a Jim Henson fanboy since I was a child and never outgrew it. I'm fairly certain I can name of more Muppet characters than I can relatives of mine lol. The line for Elton John tonight was pretty crazy, mainly due to the fact they only had two on the floor to play, but it's a looker for sure. Hopefully I can check that one out sometime tomorrow without a crazy long wait.

[@videogamevegas]

CoolToy, Yeah, I couldn't ever imagine outgrowing the magic of Jim Henson. His contributions are timeless and I feel they speak to both adults and children alike. I used to watch the Muppet Show, and if you think about it, Elton John was on an episode of that show and that's kind of a cool happenstance (happy accident) that his Pinball Machine is launching along side Labyrinth. And to this day, I'm still in love with The Muppet Movie (with some of the most iconic tunes by arguably one of the most prolific song writers of our time, Paul Williams) and The Great Muppet Caper. I'm sending some good vibes your way to disperse the Elton John lines towards the classic pins so you can Crocodile Rock your way to some multiball! Have a great one! vgv

[@cooltoy]

lol I vivdly remember convincing my mother to buy a ginormous box of plain old Cherrio's one time because it came with The Muppet Caper on DVD inside. Needless to say she was not happy when we threw out the bag of Cherrio's months later. I really tried to eat them, but man they were so bland and tasteless that I couldn't eat more than two bowls out of the hole bag.

[@videogamevegas]

CoolToy, Ahhh, the good old days of buying cereal for the toys :) vgv

[@alb2620]

Great review. Flippers at shows are often a little weak. I would bet that ramp is easier on its own power source at home.

[@cooltoy]

Very good point!

[@happygilmore5591]

Bc of your video I just went to flippinoutpinball and preordered Labyrinth, bought the topper and alternate backglass! You are correct about the shooter Rod..it’s a little to big for my liking so I didn’t order it. I will buy a mod that will eventually come out..thanks for the vid! You sold it to me
