Toy Story 4 Pinball Featurette (Jersey Jack Pinball, 2022) (Disney-Pixar, 2022)

[@benjaminjmcgee]

Glad Pat Lawler got a shot at this game! What a massive theme for a legend to design for.

[@jadedheartsz]

gonna miss Lawlor, I was bummed when I heard this was his last pin.

[@robertfrost8264]

8:31 What an incredible way to put that. Pat Lawlor is a treasure. "If people can't enjoy what we do, we're in the wrong business."

[@MrPrice-we8bl]

Seeing this really makes me want a Pee-Wee's Big Pinball Adventure theme. The opening to the 1985 movie with the breakfast machine is its own mechanism.

[@SDTM]

Yup agreed!

[@yojz]

💯

[@Ryan-pr7vq]

Absolutely 100% for sure. Just as long as they don’t make it big top peewee. They did it with this one already.

[@urc12345]

THIS ARE THE REAL MAKING OF the pinball makers should make 🎉🎉 This is sooo good

[@Riz2336]

Pat Lawlor is my favorite designer, I recently played earthshaker for the first time on location. The guy just makes great classic games

[@emmanueldacunha3211]

Earthshaker is a masterpiece. An era when pinballs were not that expensive, and full of creativity (Adam’s, Twilight Zone, etc…). Sheers from France

[@wariodolby]

No brainer for me to buy this! I have 5 adult kids and 5 grandkids already!! We love Toy story and pinball.

[@babahafezz]

Fantastic run through of features and design ideas! This will keep pinball alive and thriving for future generations of players! There is no substitute for tactile pinball action!

[@robertfrost8264]

4 mins in, best launch presentation of all time already! Well done!!

[@Railoffroader2]

Pat Lawlor, Jack Guarnieri and JJP crew are the resurrection of Williams®️ in the pinball world!

[@pfredflyer]

They definitely nailed the carnival theme in the best way. Personally I'm most nostalgic for the first two games but if this game is fun I won't be able to stop playing it because of the theme

[@idurner]

Cannot wait to hit that jump shot for the first time!! Nice looking machine JJP & Pat!

[@awaf2012]

Love Pat Lawlors work. About the game, its pretty neat. The theme will end the Honeymoon on this one fast.

[@TheKurtsPlaceChannel]

Very nicely put together video and very entertaining as well. I played it and really enjoyed it. Pat Lawlor is an awesome designer who I have grown up playing his games all my life and loved them all. I was born in 1970 as well. Thanks for posting this.

[@nightzelmods]

Holy smokes this looks incredible! That jump in the center looks like a super fun shot!

[@AleexMiles]

Once again proving y’all are the best pinball show out there 👏🏻. Great job on this video, guys! The game looks stellar. Pat & Co. Nailed it!

Great overview of the game! Thanks for producing this and agree this is a timeless classic and very popular theme that would work in a lot of game rooms. Look forward to playing it!

[@SDTM]

Thank you! We try to bring as much unique content as possible!!!

[@MysteryPinballTheater3000]

Pat and Joe, I salute you and your team. This looks amazing. thanks for bringing FUN back to pinball again!

Played this pinball yesterday , beautiful pinball , great design.

[@Safalo]

I was skeptical on the theme chosen being the fourth movie, but after seeing it in action it legit looks like a good time. They did the best with the hand they were dealt with and had plenty of fun with the theming. Here's hoping to find one nearby in the future

[@hreimer]

Another great job Zach.... amazing.

[@SDTM]

Can not wait to get our hands back on this pin!!!!

[@spblat]

Great job on the video and congratulations to the JJP team, who doesn’t control how Disney’s IP can be used in the game, or what number goes on the title. It looks like a fun game and those of us who *don’t* make pinball machines for a living should maybe cut everybody a little slack 😅

[@RETROCENGO]

Look at the editing quality of the video🤩 Zach, the money you are making in pinball is peanuts compared to what you can make in Hollywood/video editing/movie production. Just saying buddy, I know money is not everything, but your skills are amazing.

[@SDTM]

You are waaaaaay too kind. One day we will cut our chops on a video that we can take our time filming and editing :)

[@havardhagen2278]

Retrocengo, have you ordered one for your Danish collection? 💫

[@charlesajones77]

Why Toy Story 4 specifically and not just Toy Story in general? They didn't make Pirates of the Caribbean about one movie specifically, for good reason.

[@wizeguy1000]

Totaly agree ..i wanted caracters from every movie

[@motnostaw2813]

This may have worked if released a few years ago when Toy Story 4 was hitting theaters, but yeah. They did not go for the franchise of assets... and that is disappointing but I understand how it may have been a good idea a few years ago when they planned on releasing it.

[@bitchinpinball]

Damn straight! Arrr!

[@dj10bear]

yeah i didn't even know there was a Toy Story 4 - years from know no one will remember T.S. 4, 5 or 6... also, LOL @ 10" ipad toy

[@evelknievel2000]

People here clearly don’t know how licences play a huge game in what they can do. Yes pirates had all moves BUT has no character at all they were allowed to use in their video feeds. For this movie they have the rights for ts4 to use. The company has to work with what they’re allowed to use and they did a great job on it.

[@thierrydelage1681]

Even if the theme doesn't click for me, you did a great job with this promo video. Kudos !

[@joshradcliff4301]

This is the video pinball releases deserve Zach, that being said I need more Randy Newman.. and that Tom Hanks impression..

[@mcnillerandsons7906]

I would like to add a JJP to my lineup. Amazing intro video. Got me excited to at least try this one.

[@NashtyFunk]

Great work on the video guys!

[@johnmcclane2139]

It’s kind of weird to me that they used the least nostalgic part of the franchise to make the game around. It’s too bad it’s not just a Toy Story theme and it has to be 4.

[@motnostaw2813]

That is EXACTLY my biggest disappointment. I get it when companies push their latest IP and Pixar wanted license to be Toy Story 4. But they are years late, and it reminds me i have not cared about the stuffed animal characters, or most of the characters. I bet this game shoots great like Dialed In. I expected more... and will have fun playing... but I'm not going to spend 12K for them taking the movie in the franchise I have zero connection with. Looks neat, likely fun. Not a must own for me in any way.

[@johnmcclane2139]

@@motnostaw2813 The stuffed animal characters in that movie were extremely annoying. And honestly I think Forky or whatever it’s name was is also an annoying character.

[@motnostaw2813]

Yeah, they approached it right with Pirates getting all movies in a franchise in the game, and they missed here. I wanted to see green army men, a pig bank, slinky dog… and I get characters I feel nothing for. Neat pin. Theme integration could have been AMAZING and instead it is just good from a movie a few years ago that everyone would rank as the least impactful of the 4. No kid from a few years ago is still into Forky or any of the new characters. I’m sure this will be great to shoot like dialed in, and just sad that I was hoping I would get a family dream theme integration, instead of just a decent family option for pinball that we have. SDTM would have rated this an A, but I excerpt a B+ with theme and toys

[@flecom5309]

100% agree, I don't own any JJP machines and never really planned to, but when I heard Toy Story was in the works I knew I would buy one sight-unseen... when I heard this morning it was Toy Story 4 my heart dropped... what an incredible disappointment... I may still go for it but I am going to have to wait and see it at IAAPA this fall if they even show up this year

[@mootsym]

yup. i feel the same way.

[@pinfarmer]

Pat's games are the only fun shootting JJPs. Look forward to trying this on location. Odd it's not all toy stories.

[@mikeblank9837]

Great job Zach/Greg!

[@Siggy_Sour]

Seems like a perfect pinball theme now seeing it in action! Sick!!

[@SDTM]

So much better in person! You almost forget its TS4

[@motnostaw2813]

It is great pinball theme. Perfect would have been pulling from all 4 movies for scenes and characters.... it is neat. For what it is. But if you asked the market for their theme desire, Toy Story 4 would be the least desired. Can't be perfect if you miss the ball with the license and settle for the 4th tier content. I'm going to love playing this. Just saying theme license takes this game down from being perfect with potential they had would it have been a generic Toy Story game with IP from all movies.

[@torchbearer3784]

Looks amazing! Very well done video also 👍👍👍

[@LittleGreenAlien]

Now this is cool, two of my biggest interests in one

[@SDTM]

Hope you get a chance to flip it!!! It’s a lot of fun to play!

[@SDTM]

Thank you so much for that!!! And thank you for taking the time to watch!!

[@williamwelke8306]

AMAZING!! So glad I snagged a CE! JJP is the best in the business hands down.

[@timberengelbeen2774]

The game looks even better and better throughout the video, looks like it has a great flow and love the theme. The theme being toy story 4 doesnt seem like a big deal because I think it fits the pinball theme better with all these arcade games and the carnaval in the film. The only problem I have with this game are the darn prices man, 17k for a CE and 14k for a limited edition is just too expensive... Great work Pat Lawlor, still the best game designer in my opinion!

[@equinoxshadow7190]

Epic missed opportunity here. This is so disappointing! Based on Toy Story 4, epic fail! Manufacturers are going backwards with utilizing technology and creativity. Jump ramp and pop-up bash toy??? nothing innovative. Come on, no Slinky Dog Ramp? How can you not work in a Claw Machine mech in some way? There should have some unique innovation with mechs. Toy Box Lock? Talking Potato Head? And don't need another LCD screen on the playfield, aaaaahhh!! That location would have been great for a unique mech!! The cabinet art is a boring movie poster. Disney probably didn't allow JJP to have original art done. Toy Story is about Andy’s toys in Andy’s room. Woody. Buzz. Slinky. Mr. Potato Head. Hamm. Rex. Jessie. Army men. The Aliens. And the Claw. I love many of Lawlor's classic Pinball Machines, but he is getting old and lacking innovation. Younger designers like Keith Elwin are being more creative. I don't think I would even play this machine on location. A big pass for me. On the positive note, there are several other great pins out there to play and own.

Slam ramp I always said is the best shot in pinball. Finally it makes a comeback.

[@EvenStarsBurnUp]

The CE sold out. I'm new to pinball. Is that common. Are people trying to resell the reserve spots It seems like pinball have become like concert tickets. Will the have another run of production for CE. I'm confused if people are just excited to get it first or if they know if they don't get it now that they will have to pay more to buy it resold because of limited supply.

[@SDTM]

Honestly it’s a little of both! Sorry me will think it’s going to be worth more so they are buying to flip it but most are just that excited and wasn’t the CE version of the pin!!!

[@jwilham4444]

Now all I gotta do is win the lottery and I can own one. Holy hell, it looks amazing though. My absolute favorite Disney movie as a child and one of my dream themes. Can't wait to play it.

[@HansScharler]

Totally looking forward to the game... I hope that they include a "kids mode" to make it a bit easier to play (like bumpers on bowling lanes). My son and I play games at a local arcade and I often see kids start up a pinball game only to abandon the game after a few seconds after the first ball save.

[@SDTM]

The way Pat and Joe talk in the video is it's very accessible for people of all skill levels and fun even if you don't know whats going on!!!

[@ericmiller3708]

This machine would be a hit at a Chuck E. Cheese, the Disney theme parks, an "arcade" that's filled with redemption games (the type of arcade that filled with little kids), or a small, family friendly, game room. I just can't see this machine being a success at a barcade that caters towards the Gen X crowd.
