[@SpiderDan2099]

It looks amazing! And to think you got rid of your 'Addams Family' for this one 😮, then it must be good because to me AF is one of the best memories of well spent quarters from my youth. I love the 'Labrynth' movie, and have no doubt this will rock like Bowie if you give it a good rate! Can I play this anywhere, like digitally? Do not see it in Zen. I have no idea where to get to play this irl.

[@jasoncondon2260]

Try searching for Pinball Map or use the map on pinside. Use their search functionality to find the closest location to you with a Labyrinth. Good luck. Hope one is near.

[@cooltoy]

@@SpiderDan2099 I enjoyed Addams family, but the rules and gameplay was just a little too shallow for my longtime enjoyment. It was getting to where I could tour the mansion regularly and complete everything in the game often. So I wanted something a little more challenging that would take me longer to complete. Unfortunately there is no digital version of this game that I am aware of, so finding a physical machine to play is currently the only way to experience the game.

[@SpiderDan2099]

@cooltoy Sure, I get that. I have a couple of pinball gamerooms near me I need to check out, hope I find it or they go digital soon, because this one looks so cool i cannot wait to try it 😎

[@BoFPinball]

Thanks for the support of the game! We hope you have a great time exploring the Labyrinth.

[@cooltoy]

@@BoFPinball it’s been a blast so far! Thanks for making such a wonderful game and a great adaptation of one of my favorite childhood films.

[@wiltroutw]

Thanks so much for the shout out man! Hope you and the family enjoy!! Super grateful to have met you, truly a great person! Wishing you guys nothing but the best!

[@cooltoy]

Thanks man, we are loving the machine so far! Wife said,"this is really hard" then proceeded to hit the start button again and again for an hour 😂

[@wiltroutw]

@@cooltoy lmao, that's awesome! Exactly the way we were! BoF really knocked it out of the park!

[@skywalkerranch]

$10,000 is a bit pricey for me, but it looks awesome.

[@gwildor8543]

Congrats! BOF showed how a new company can make an amazing machine. Please do a room tour, would love to see your collection!

[@cooltoy]

@@gwildor8543 BOF did such an awesome job with not only the release of this game, but the introduction and general business practices for a new start up manufacturer. Other companies could certainly learn a thing or two about how BOF does things day to day.

[@slinger2112]

Congrats Doug! Barrels of Fun has made an impressive entry into the industry. The LCD backboard is cool. I hope some of their customer oriented practices become more standard across the industry. Enjoy that game!!!

[@cooltoy]

I hope so too, they have really started off on the right foot both with customer service and build quality. Really excited to see what the future holds for them.

[@MichaelBtheGameGenie]

Again so happy for you man. I never thought you would find a gently used one so quickly. Congrats!

[@cooltoy]

Patience paid off, there was one that popped up about a month ago in Colorado that I almost jumped on, would have been a 7 hour road trip one way to get it, I eventually talked myself out of it. A few weeks later this one showed up on marketplace an hour and a half away from my house, so it was meant to be it would seem.

[@RogjosGamingGadgets]

Congratulations, Doug on the new pickup. It looks like a fun flip!

[@cooltoy]

It is, I'm really digging it!

[@DyoGTS]

I've never been a huge fan of Labyrinth, but man is this a good looking machine!

[@cooltoy]

It's a beaut for sure, they really nailed it in terms of looks and all the little details.

[@midlifearcade]

They have a Labyrinth at Lynn's in Seaside, where I play locally. It's an experience.

[@BrianHaskell78]

Congratulations man! Labyrinth is an amazing game! No other pinball machine has made me feel like I am in its world like Labyrinth does. Talk about a world under glass! Anyone who's a fan of the movie and has played this machine loves it, too.

[@cooltoy]

@@BrianHaskell78 you got that right, there is so many small and amazing details scattered through this playfield that really bring Jim Henson’s Labyrinth world to life when a player hits that start button.

[@Riz2336]

That's a hell of a first game for a company. Looks like a great game in your collection

[@cooltoy]

@@Riz2336 I’m still blown away with how well they pulled off the release of this game. Truly a remarkable first entrance into the pinball world for a new company. I’m hoping their next release in 2025 matches this level of excellence.

[@JackpotMike77]

This is the best overall package pinball in a while. And for what you get [a LE] it's a value

[@cooltoy]

@@JackpotMike77 absolutely agree, incredible value for the money compared to other companies offerings out there right now

[@JackpotMike77]

@cooltoy welcome to the labyrinth family. Now I want to see you get all 13 orbs, beat jerith and hit 3 billion. Then we can talk more :)

[@kineticist]

such a great game!

[@combochuck]

Congrats man! I remember your "not if but when" words and I have been curiously keeping a lookout for the "when". I also picked one up, directly from the factory, and I absolutely love it!

[@cooltoy]

Right on, glad to hear you are digging your new game!

[@jwoodypinball]

Way cool, congrats, makes me want one even more

[@cooltoy]

@@jwoodypinball thank you, the family and I are really enjoying the game

[@retroreplay1980]

My local barcade has a Labyrinth machine, I really enjoy the theme even though I'm not a huge fan of the movie.

[@richm.7373]

Nice pick up. Congrats! I had a spot on this title when it was revealed and then decided to downsize my pinball collection. I regret not getting this one and love playing it out in the wild. It is a great world under glass experience. Hopefully one day I pick it up on the second hand market. Have fun with it. 👍👍

[@cooltoy]

@@richm.7373 downsizing is always hard, I’m constantly moving machines in an out due to space constraints. Collecting arcades and pinball machines simultaneously means I’m always battling for room to put them and so my collection keeps fluctuating

[@ryshask]

Love the ambience of this game.

[@cooltoy]

They really nailed the fantasy elements

[@adamkalb1412]

Congratulations Doug❤️🏁Enjoy it in good health🌈

[@cooltoy]

Thank you, I will

[@jasoncondon2260]

Congratulations! Hope you have lots of fun playing the game. My family loves ours. The one mod I made to the game was to swap out the stock flipper bushings for ones made by Precision Pinball. That change increased my family's enjoyment of the game due to improved consistency with our ability to hit our shots. We're fairly new to pinball, so we need the extra help. In fact, this game got me started with the pinball hobby. =) If one goes that route, be sure to lower the flipper power or the ball will literally fly.

[@cooltoy]

@@jasoncondon2260 I had precision flippers on my Mandalorian pinball machine and really liked them. I wouldn’t mind adding them to this machine as I’m sure it would be a worthwhile upgrade.

[@jasoncondon2260]

@cooltoy I only changed out the bushings and it was a huge improvement for us. Funny, I have a Mandalorian as well. I swapped out its flipper bushings for the newer Stern version with tighter tolerance than what shipped on Stern's games prior to mid-2023. The success of that experiment is what inspired the change on Labyrinth.

[@MrBaskins2010]

spooky film but dope machine. that price is so reasonable but this quality is insane

[@cooltoy]

I think it's an exceptional value, especially when compared to the other offerings from manufacturers at the same price point.

[@blusapphirervg]

I'm so freakin jealous!

[@PDubsArcadeLoft]

I love mine, it's about time you got yours!

[@cooltoy]

All good things come to those who wait.

[@filbert910]

The machine looks amazing. As an 80s kid, has anyone made a Never Ending Story pinball?

[@cooltoy]

Sadly no. I’d love to see that movie get the pinball treatment. So many cool things you could do with that theme

[@crtcustoms6140]

Epic dude! Hope to pick one up before they are sold out but it’s a tall order after my recent divorce. Please do an in-depth deep dive video if you are able too! The hustle pays off!

[@cooltoy]

The hustle is worth it in the end!

[@sleepinglionarchives]

Love the franchise and that's a great table. Would love to see them tackle some other 80s titles like The NeverEnding Story or Spaceballs - The Pinball Table

[@cooltoy]

@@sleepinglionarchives never ending story would be great! So many cool things they could do with that theme

[@johnauer3110]

You’re so lucky to have gotten one of them!

[@cooltoy]

I’m thrilled to own it, I’ve been dreaming about getting one since the first day I saw it

[@RadDadRetro]

Had a chance to play this on a business trip to Atlanta. Went to Schoolhouse Brewing in Marietta. Owner is apparently a huge pinball fan and this and Elton John are his show pieces. Played Labyrinth for about 2 hours and it was an amazing experience being an 80s kid. I wish someone in my area (South Central Louisiana) had it for play. I have been considering purchasing a home pin for about 2 years, but have yet to pull the trigger. This and Godzilla Prem are on the short list, but I have not been able to convince myself yet that owning can justify the cost.

[@Lonchanney1]

Congratulations! Enjoy....

[@cooltoy]

Loving it so far!

[@T88-fh9ci]

Sweet, congrats!

[@cooltoy]

@@T88-fh9ci thank you 🙏

[@wicked49ford]

Congratulations man! Well worth the investment. My goal is to pick one up too next year. 🤞🏻

[@cooltoy]

Fingers crossed for you!

[@luclegeek]

Congratulations! Havé fun!

[@cooltoy]

Thank you!!

[@JK-fv9xk]

Great video

[@cooltoy]

thank you so much!

[@jonh5206]

I just got mine too. #600! Love it so far. Congrats and great video.

[@cooltoy]

@@jonh5206 awesome, nice round number! Glad to hear you are enjoying it

[@HitnRunTony]

If this machine was 10K, I need to keep commenting on your videos to get the engagement up

[@cooltoy]

@@HitnRunTony I appreciate the sentiment but KZbin pays me pocket change, definitely not enough to buy a pinball machine of any kind. I was able to buy this thanks to scrimping and saving for a year, and then making some profit from selling my Addams Family machine.

[@stringerfilms.]

Sayyyy whaaaaatttt??? 😮

[@cooltoy]

Dance Magic Dance Time

[@johnauer3110]

So sweet!!!

[@cooltoy]

Thank you! 😊

[@dragongamer2670]

Totally would add this to my collection. But sadly cannot afford it

[@JeffYPbPr]

Played this a few times at some expo’s. Not a fan. Thought it was pretty tough. Glad you are enjoying it though!

[@cooltoy]

It’s a very tough game no doubt about it. That’s one of the many things I like about it though. Especially in a home setting, I want a machine that’s really going to make me earn it when it comes to seeing and doing everything there is to do in the game.

[@TiltingT]

Little late to the video but man I absolutely love this gane and would love to spend some real time on one. Realky enjoyed olaying it at Expo with you in 2023. I would much rather have Labyrinth than Addams Family and it isnt even close!... Now Spookys Evil Dead has released and wow just wow!

[@cooltoy]

Can't wait to play Evil Dead, Spooky appears to have absolutely nailed that one!

[@TiltingT]

@cooltoy Yeah they absolutely nailed it!. I am going to pick up a HUO Iron Maiden Pro tomorrow evening. New pinball days are the best!

[@videogamevegas]

CoolToy, There are some Pinball Machines that you just instantly know are going to be amazing. Labyrinth is one of those for me. I said when they announced it, if I was to ever have my pick of only one real pinball machine in my house, the new winner was Labyrinth, dethroning Stern Godzilla. Now, I don't ever see me owning a real pinball machine at home, size, weight, and maintenance always brings me back down to Earth, but I want to play this game. I also want to play Elton John, the new Stern X-Men, Jersey Jack Avatar, Black Knight Sword of Rage, the Stern Elvira, Stern Beatles, the new remastered Stern Metallica... Ok, so A LOT of machines. That's why I'm crossing my fingers that some can come out in Vpin form, preferably licensed :) Funny thing is, I don't even like the film Labyrinth. HOWEVER... I've always loved the art direction and music, which made me actually watch the movie several times. Re-imagining what I like about the film into one of my favorite game's media, a Pinball machine, is the stuff of dreams! And dude! I'm so glad you got the topper! This is a three way tie for my all time favorite toppers, Labyrinth, Black Knight Sword of Rage, and Mandalorian. I may have to throw in the new Jersey Jack Avatar topper in there as well :) Thank you for always sharing your incredible collection! It always makes me feel like I'm there! vgv

[@cooltoy]

The topper for this game I feel like is a must have, it's something truly special to have great sculpts sitting a top the machine chattering away at you while you play. Very much in the vein of the Black Knight from Sword Of Rage as you mentioned. Just adds to the immersive experience all the more. Hoping you get an opportunity to play some of those machines in the future. Avatar and Elton John are some really fun games to flip!

[@mrfuriouser]

I do quit like both what they are doing and how they are doing it. I hope, however, that they eventually make a theme that speaks to me so that I may purchase a pin from them for my home.

[@cooltoy]

@@mrfuriouser what theme would you like to see a company like Barrels of Fun do?

[@MrSk8kat]

Wow it must be amazing to get rid of Adams family to get it 😮

[@cooltoy]

@@MrSk8kat I put a lot of work into my Addams family machine and enjoyed playing it, but the gameplay was just a little too sparse for my liking. Not nearly enough to see and do in the game compared to more modern game rules and code

[@Ruuku1]

hate the theme, love the gameplay, its a good pin

[@cooltoy]

it's definitely a niche theme for most, but it's a crazy well designed machine for certain.

[@trancer247]

The game looks really good. I just can't get past David Bowies voice. It would kill the experience for me. I can't wait to see what Barrels of Fun has in store next.

[@cooltoy]

@@trancer247 should be revealed at Texas Pinball Festival in 2025 of the rumors are true.

[@bd2864]

Which companies took money but never delivered?

[@thierrydelage1681]

Haggis Pinball, Heighway Pinball, Deeproot Pinball, Zidware (4 dead companies now) have scammed people taking money (either full amount or pre-payment) for machines they never delivered. In another category, you have also CGC who presented Pulp Fiction Limited Edition almost 3 years ago, took non refundable pre-payment for the machines and started only now to despatch them to buyers. Even if it's not a scam it's very frustrating for buyers to wait so long for a game. Dutch Pinball falls in the same category as some of the Early Adopters of their Big Lebowski machines had to wait 8 years to get their machine...

[@bd2864]

@ Wow. That’s a lot for me to dig in to.

[@cooltoy]

@thierrydelage1681 yep, way too much of this predatory stuff happening in pinball. I'm shocked every time I see a new company come along and do this sort of thing and people still willingly will give them money each time.

[@kineticist]

also I see you fellow david bowie nerd!

[@cooltoy]

@@kineticist yep! Named my son Bowie if that tells you how big of a fan I am

[@kineticist]

@@cooltoyomg my son’s middle name is Bowie 😂

[@cooltoy]

@@kineticist that’s awesome! To complete my nerdy naming I gave my son two middle names, Odysseus and Skywalker. His full initials spell BOSS, which is quite on point for how much my little toddler controls my life currently 😆

[@BarnesArcade]

So you’re not banishing it to the bog of eternal stench?

[@cooltoy]

@@BarnesArcade one of the funniest modes in the game for sure

[@benbreeck3363]

The problem with using all Bally/Williams parts in a pinball machine is that eventually they'll run out. People will, someday need to start tool up to produce new high quality pinball machine parts. Frankly, it needs to be sooner rather than later.

[@cooltoy]

@@benbreeck3363 it’s not old stock Bally Williams parts. They are new parts that are made to the same specifications as those older Bally Williams games, so there is no concern of running out of the parts

[@Manusmith]

Heh heh heh.

[@cooltoy]

Playing the waiting game paid off!

[@afattori316]

No Sarah is a huge miss. That’s like not having Luke Skywalker in Star Wars. They say you play as Sarah, but that’s a cop out. She was in the majority of the movie. Wifcamdy daughter love Labyrinth the movie but was not happy with the pin.

[@cooltoy]

Initially when the game was first announced I thought the lack of Sarah was going to bother me, but after playing the machine and experiencing more of the gameplay it changed my opinion.

[@dragongamer2670]

only complaint about this video. GAMEPLAY! don't really show that much... just being honest.

[@cooltoy]

I've already covered gameplay a few times in past videos, so I don't see the point in rehashing.

[@Coinmancer]

Holy cow that is amazing…

[@cooltoy]

it's been an absolute blast to play
